As Donald told one of his contestants during the season that she was a "Loser" for quitting his show - now, I guess that pretty much makes him a LOSER as well...Donald, YOU'RE FIRED!

Good riddance to bad hair.

Why would Trump ever hire someone he fired? I don't think the show works if the ultimate prize isn't working for Trump.

Truth be told, I haven't followed THE APPRENTICE since the end of the first season, where I thought Donald and the-muskrat-that-lives-on-his-head was not acting in a manner I would ever expect a corporate CEO to act. Giving mundane sales jobs to highly competitive people was a bit out there, but then judging based on pretty dicey criteria was something completely different. I chalked the whole enterprise up as a giant stunt. What job was actually being applied for, anyway? Were any skills demonstrated in the show actually used by the person when he/she went to work at Trump, Inc? The answer was a resounding, "NO!"

Therefore, the show was indeed a stunt, and if Trump was any sort of a businessman with scruples, would have admitted this and canceled the show himself after the first season.

Continuing the show with the same format merely proved how low of a personality that Donald Trump really is. THE APPRENTICE was his show, and while he can claim that he is not his show, in truth it was -- Trump is as low as that program was. Any CEO that requires toadies to be his "yes" men makes me worry about the way he conducts his business. If I was investor, I would have certainly judged Trump by these shows and pulled any money far away from his ventures.

Sounds like he is pretty insecure. Instead of accepting that he was fired--or simply not renewed because of declining ratings and and old worn-out premise--he makes it that he quit NBC. As if anyone is actually buying that.

Makes Rosie O'Donnell look much more mature and professional . . . and she is actually in demand! I'm sure we will see that she has signed a $10+ million deal soon.

NBC didn't announce a cancellation because it is probably keeping the show on reserve. In case any of the shows in its fall lineup tanks it can pull this one of the back burner. I don't know if they shot another season yet or what is involved in Trumps contract, but they can easily get another personality if they own the rights to the Apprentice name.

i'm not crazy about donald trump as a person--but rosy makes me sick--she is such a loud mouth-tearing our country apart--it has nothing to do with her being gay--thats her perrogative--its just she is so loud--no one can have their own opinion--elizabeth on the view is so nice- moral-family oriented etc-i'll take her any day-fran nawn

That's because Martha Stewart is the one of the few bitches people hate more than Bad Hair.

"Family morals" are a joke! They just bitch and moan about shit and when you ask them to back up their "facts' they come up with bullshit from the bullshit Bible. Yeah they could talk about family morals all they want, but none of the idiots ever follow it.

Plus people who believe in the ly that is "family morals" are the ones that try to tear the country apart. No one takes Rosie serioursly but for some reason ten of millions of people in this country follow the bullshit that comes out of the mouths of people like Elizabeth Bitch on The View, and fucker Jerry Farwell, and my prayers have been finally answered about that asshole.

David,
You can't honestly expect anyone to take you seriously when you obviously don't have the intellect to communicate original ideas without obscene language. You sound like an ignorant blow-hard. Why don't you try moving out of your mother's basement and getting ahold of a thesaurus.

Hmmm....

Fuck you gets the point across very nicely.

There's an Apprentice UK?

This last season sunk to an all-time low. First off, it jumped the shark when both long time board members George and Carolyn were pulled in favor of having his own kids in the boardroom.

Then he forced contestants to sleep in tents if they didn't perform. What a desparate stunt to improve ratings. Reminds me of when they have characters get married at the end of the series, so that people tune in. Usually doesn't work. And as a consequence, I'm sure it killed any qualified future applicants from wanting to participate. Who wants to sleep in tents for a job interview?

Trump had lost touch with reality and the people around him. Everything he owns is the best, according to him. Just once I'd like him to acknowledge that he's not number in everything. Also, he couldn't be bothered to learn names of the executives sponsering the event featured in the show.

Which leads me to... the show evolved into a long form advertisement.

Remember the first year when they simply sold lemonade? Now they're hawking Renuzit air freshner, Pontiacs, and Trump water.
