The Apprentice (nsr)

[Anxious Mo-Fo]

Is anyone else into this very guilty pleasure? Lots to think about: when they're going to can Omarosa, if troy will self-destruct with that annoying southern charm, if Nick's gonna get some stank on his hang-low... jesus, Trump's hair deserves its own thread/website.

[acostiga]

you are indeed an anxious mo-fo.

[1080Rider]

Who is trump??? Oh, you mean "the Donald." Yeah, his hair is perfect, no? I haven't watched the show, I only watch speed channel and the o.c.

[Obstruction]

I just made the mistake of subscribing to Newsweek for two years and the third issue I get has this piece of shit (Trump) on the cover and on eight pages inside. Reality my ass. I want my $48 back.

[Anxious Mo-Fo]

Anxious, might want to edit your post so you don't ruin the surprise for yourself. We changed ours.

[tuffy109]

[Tical]

Great show..

[IBISguru]

I can't stand n*c*. Way too smug. Personally, I can't wait to see the Trump fire hiz azz.

[HyRUPz]

They got rid of the Asian gal right? You know, Ms. I say the wrong thing at the wrong time, everytime . . .

Get rid of Amorosa, she's a bitch and not trustworthy - she's next . . .

Love the show. Sat next to Trump in NYC at dinner once and his hair is worse live . . .

[release]

Unfortunately I'm hooked. First few shows reminded me of a bunch of high school kids, but since they mixed up the sexes it has gotten better.

Erica, YOU'RE FIRED!

I've loathed Trump for the past 20 years, and now I'm addicted to this dumb show. Time to get a life.

Letterman's "Trump or Monkey" bit is genius.

Finally fired. Lawsuit to follow.

She's a Cryer.

[mrw]

My wife loves the show. Me, I think they should load the whole cast on a bus and drive it off a cliff. Those folks give me the willies

[lake effect]

Bizzump because Troy is a solid mo-fo and Amorosa removed herself from any working environment for the forseeable future.

And Trump's "There goes the marriage" line was classic.

[laseranimal]

Omorosa is a bitch that is all

[Big E]

I'll admit, I'm somehow hooked on this show. Supa-bitch will be the downfall of Kwame.

Love him or hate him - and I can see plenty of reasons on the hate side - the Donald offers up some good advice, and cuts through the BS w/o belittling anyone.

Trademark challenger: Fired up over 'The Apprentice'
By Kelly Gyenes


(CNN) -- While fans of NBC's "The Apprentice" gear up for the final firing, one failed contestant is gearing up for a fight with the man who fired her.

Jessie Conners, 22, from New Richmond, Wisconsin, was fired in week six's episode of "The Apprentice," the reality show featuring several people competing to win a $250,000 job with real estate mogul Donald Trump's organization. Each week, a contestant is dismissed from the show by Trump with what has become the latest catchphrase, "You're fired."

Trump fired Conners, in part, for not standing up for herself in a boardroom showdown with rival Omarosa Manigault-Stallworth.

Now, Conners has taken a stand against Trump by applying to register three trademarks in an effort to capitalize on her experience with the show and market products she said she intends to develop.

Conners has joined the list of people trying to register the trademark "You're fired" -- in her case, for the purpose of producing a clothing line.

Conners said she has also submitted applications to register "The Apprentice" under the trademark classifications of clothing and literature. In addition to starting a "You're Fired" clothing line, she said she would like to write a book and perhaps produce a magazine titled "The Apprentice."

Previously, Trump applied to register "You're Fired" (both with and without exclamation points) for games and playthings and casino services. In addition, Trump has applied to register "You're Fired" for paper goods, home furnishings, pillows, housewares, linens, toys and sporting goods, alcoholic beverage and clothing purposes.

And JMBP Inc., the production company of show creator Mark Burnett, has filed to trademark "You're Fired" for clothing, footwear and headgear. Burnett has also filed to register "The Apprentice" for entertainment and television purposes, according to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office Web site.

Neither Trump nor Burnett could be reached for comment.

Conners admits that she has entered a "gray area," because of the rights the show has to promote and advertise itself, and her contract with the show.

A legal debate already is heating up around the rush on trademarks related to the NBC hit.

"The question is whether or not the public would perceive [the words] as a trademark or a message," said Roger Schechter, professor of law at George Washington University Law School.

Will the public view the words as a communication or believe that the words are sponsored or licensed by Donald Trump? Schechter said the answer depends on what the public's reaction and perception would be.

"Everything in our world is gray, is kind of 'maybe,' " Schechter said.

Perhaps Trump summarized Conners best in his new book, "Trump: How to Get Rich," in which he wrote: "You've got to fight back if you want to be successful in business." While Trump noted in the book that Conners didn't defend herself on the show, he also concluded: "Don't underestimate her."

Maybe this apprentice has learned a lesson from the master. "Who knows if I'll get [the trademarks] or not," Conners said. "But the fact that I stood up and I am doing it and I am fighting ... that's where the fun is for me."

nice call

[Anxious Mo-Fo]

Anyone under the impression that Omarosa was paid by the producers to be a big pain in the ass?

Kwame's going to regret choosing her to be on his final team.
