PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

"Trump is the chump, not Randal" |
LAST EDITED ON 12-16-05 AT 06:31 AM (EST)LAST EDITED ON 12-16-05 AT 06:29 AM (EST) Trump put Randal in a no-win situation. If Randal agrees to hire Rebecca, it diminishes the victory Randal worked so hard for. If Randal says NO don't hire her, he looks like a jerk. He also didn't give Randal the opportunity to make a rational decision. After feeling the euphoria of the victory, it probably felt like an insult when Trump suggested hiring Rebecca. I think that if asked in a quiet boardroom a couple days after the show, Randal would have said Rebecca should be hired. And doing it that way would have made it clear that Rebecca was still second place. Either Trump should have hired them both on the spot without asking Randal, or hire Randal alone. If he hired both right away, they would have been BOTH happy about it without worrying about who should have been the singular winner. However, Randal, once having been put in this awkward moment, could have made the best of the situation if he said that Rebecca should be hired and put the right spin on it by saying something like "I think Rebecca has the long-term potential to be a valuable asset to the Trump organization, and it would be great if she could be hired in a position that would allow her to build the experience to fulfill her vast potential." It would have diminished this particular victory somewhat, but doing so would have benefitted him more in the long term, as people would forever remember him for doing that.

I totally agree. Shame on Trump for pulling this stunt. If he wanted to hire them both he should have. Randall was still enjoying his victory when Trump called him back and suggested they hire Rebecca. Bad timing Trump.

Trump and Burnett are the problem, not Randal.Trump only grudgingly hired Randal. Burnett negatively edited EVERYONE who said good things about Randal. That is the focus. Randal will never be a villain in the eyes of America, and The Donald is a heel for trying to make him one. Didn't The Donald disparage Randal during the boardroom for being "too nice" and "low key?" Well, I guess Randal showed The Donald that he does indeed have fire in his belly and that he is focused and that he will be "nice" only up to a point. Good for him. George and Carolyn are obviously pleased. --Singer

"Didn't The Donald disparage Randal during the boardroom for being 'too nice' and 'low key?'" "Well, I guess Randal showed The Donald that he does indeed have fire in his belly and that he is focused and that he will be "nice" only up to a point. Good for him." This kind of jerking the contestants around is (1) why I didn't watch past Season 1 and (2) why some viewers go crazy when someone is chosen. Not only do I NOT enjoy being jerked around (or watching the contestants be jerked) - I also don't appreciate that DT doesn't make it exactly clear WTF it is he really want. For me, this makes me lose interest when it seems like he's just jerking people's chains. Some may argue this is a worthy tactic, I think it backfires in this setting. For some reality TV, this method works. For this show, it does not. Burnett and Trump would do well to make a policy change and lure back in the peeps who watched in the first place - sending away all the others who get bored with a real competition and just want to see histrionics.
