I liked it. I did think one team had an advantage over the other as far as 'celebrity' goes. Trace Adkins was impressive. He seems like a hard worker and wasn't a jerk like some of the celebrities appeared to be. The Trump kids looked 'skinny' tonight. I wonder what was up with that.

I thought the Hydras were just more "heavyweights" than the Empressarios, although I think that was a clever name.

Can't wait for Omarosa to get her walking papers!

I noticed the kids looked different, especially Donald, Jr.

Good show. I'll be watching.

Sue, me too!

They coulda fooled me. I had no idea who most of them were, even after they put the names on the screen. Gad Zooks. Talk about stretching the truth a bit.

I think both of those girls deserved to be let go. Not one person stressed the fact that it was Omarosa who would not allow them to use their celebrity status as a marketing tool. If everyone would have gotten together and let The Donald know that she bullied them into a regular marketing approach, she'd be gone. As it stands, I think she's going to be around for a while. She makes for good television and the ratings on the show were so low that it would have been cancelled. If it were not for the writer's strike, there'd be no apprentice this season.

I've only watched for the last 15 minutes and Omarosa is already getting on my nerves. I disliked her the last time and I don't think I will watch this because she's on it. Why did they bring her back?

Omarosa = train wreck - don't want to watch but can't help it. I really think she did a poor job tonight regarding not capitalizing on the celeb thing. And, Missy Centerfold made a big mistake not calling Mr. Hefner.

yarnlover - I agree. Good TV to have a nasty one in the mix.

I checked out the TWOP forum on this. There were some points there that I agreed with. The lady let go last night was apparently two months pregnant. She may have been happy to have been let go. Even if she had called and gotten a $10,000 donation, the women still would not have won. Just because she had HH as a contact doesn't mean that it was personally good for her to use that contact. I'm sure celebrities get hit up for money all of the time. She may not have wanted to impose on him.

IMO, the men actually failed the task because they didn't really try to sell. In real world events, the win should have been disqualified. The women sold out of hotdogs, in one way, they did win. Omarosa's 'business' plan was better because it did not depend on calling people in for major donations and they actually had to sell the product. The women still could have used celebrity status to have people buy the hotdogs and to ask for donations. Obviously, some people were not as famous as others. The men had more team members that had actual recognition.

That British judge/guy was incredibly rude. If I were one of the other guys on the team, I'd vote him out because he made the rest of them look bad too.

Over the years, Omarosa has become the expert reality show contestant. I can imagine some of the contestants agreed to the show since money would go to charity. But you have to stay on the show and win for that to happen.

I think it's interesting that the men got to watch the boardroom action. Their comments were good, other than the rude Piers guy. I guess the men need their version of Omarosa.

How many weeks will the show be on? Each week it will probably come down to how many celebrity calls to their friends come to fruition. By the end, will they have anyone left to call? Maybe, by that point, they will really be using their "celebrity".

AND no one mentioned, at the beginning of the show Donald mentioned he "liked" O!

I LOVE Gene Simmons, which is a total reversal for me. When I was young, and a waitress, I waited on KISS and was shocked and disappointed that they didn't leave me a huge tip. They left guitar picks! LOL It made me so mad and now I have no idea whatever happened with them.

I think it's fine to use their celebrity status since this is for charity. How else can they raise huge amounts of money? And, I'm wondering if there's not more to that bit with Omarosa wanting to go with sales rather than using the celebrity thing. Otherwise, why didn't the others pop up with that being Omarosa's idea? The other women must have been in total agreement but that wasn't shown due to editing?? Anyway, that would be my guess.

I love hating Omarosa. Wouldn't it be great to see her put in her place without her being fired? All the fun would be gone if she left. Except we also have Piers, and I think he's going to be just as bad. It's going to be fun to watch! LOL

Sue - I noticed the kids, too.

It is too much ego drama for me:( Starting with Donnie

I wasn't sure if I would watch or not. I decided to have a quick look-see and watched the whole hour. I'll probably watch the whole series, although I do press the mute button when trump talks. I don't like that egomaniac. I too wondered why it wasn't brought up more forcefully about Omarossa not wanting to use the celeb card in selling the hotdogs. I mostly wanted to tune in to see Trace Atkins.
