5. "RE: The (three-hour) finale." |
I have lost every ounce of respect I ever had for Joan Rivers. She's petty, dirty, and every bit as despicable as she tries to paint Annie Duke to be.I really hope he'll give it to Annie; she clearly deserves it. But Trump has shown a soft spot for Rivers the entire season, and I really fear he'll make as stupid a mistake as he did giving it to Piers Morgan last season. Character is apparently irrelevant to Trump. Which is why I guess I'll never be "good enough" for that crowd. Which is good enough for me. Lis

23. "Did Joan really win?" |
While Joan may have the title Celebrity Apprentice did she really or rather did her charity truly win? Think about it, Annie's event brought in over 465,000 dollars and Joan's event only brought in a little over 150,000. Even after you add the 250,000 from Joan being named the Celebrity Apprentice, Annie's side still made more. But what are you going to do, it was a New York crowd with a celebrity there for a New York charity.

9. "Urrrgh." |
LAST EDITED ON 05-11-09 AT 04:49 AM (EST)I understand she wan 3 of the 5 criteria (but mostly ones that were subjective and could have gone either way). The whole edit of the charity stuff was so clearly to redeem Joan so she'd be palatable as a winner. But Urrrrgh. I will never watch Joan or Melissa Rivers in anything ever again. They are everything they put on other people and I can't take either of them. I also feel that with Piers and Joan that means season three will be totally unwatchable. It isn't about who is the best overall, now I see it is really about who makes the most drama in the boardroom. I feel sorry for his real employees if he makes real business decisions the way he makes "good for TV" ones. ETF typo

The party planner situation was a non-issue because I truly believe it was a manufactored "crisis" to add drama to the finale.

22. "RE: Urrrgh." |
LAST EDITED ON 05-11-09 AT 04:16 PM (EST)LAST EDITED ON 05-11-09 AT 04:16 PM (EST) I have to respectfully disagree. Annie was not a class act. The way she treated her teammates was horrendous. She so blatantly used Brande I don't know why Brande can't see that. And just about every other word that came out of her mouth was **ck. Annie was whiny and she trash talked Joan to anybody who would listen that is not classy in my book. And as far as the party planner quitting, Annie tried to make it seem as though Joan purposedly did that to her. Joan had no idea her tiff with David, the party planner, would hurt the other team. I don't blame Joan for going off on her. What Annie should have done was talk about how she overcame the situation instead of pointing fingers at Joan. Neither woman is innocent or above the other. They both did what they had to do to win. And no matter how professional and businesslike Annie might think she was. She wasn't. Being petty and catty is not businesslike. I agree. The funniest moment to me last night was when Annie was in the SUV with Tom Green going on and on for the umpteenth time about how Joan caused the party planning firm to up and quit, and bring ruination upon Annie's head. Tom was saying "yeah, yeah" in a "would you just shut up about it already" voice. I loved that he told Annie that was all she was talking about, and that Joan had successfully gotten under her skin. Annie just stared blankly at him. I don't know what went on between Joan and David. She told Clint that she hadn't sworn at him, but apparently whatever she said was so upsetting, he yanked his firm out of participation. Sounds like a very thin-skinned business owner to me. I'm not impressed with "David" at all. The main problem I had with Joan was her Achilles heel, which is Melissa. It seems that Joan could mostly get along with others, unless and until she felt her daughter was maligned or attacked or belittled in any way. Melissa fed right into that and rather than trying to soothe any ruffled feelings, threw gas onto the fire at any opportunity. Tom was right - Annie did let Joan play her. For all her vaunted poker playing skills, she let Joan get under her skin and rile her. She got played. I don't think either of them play "with honor", as they kept both claiming. One final thing - I really can't stand Donald Trump. He was so dismissive of Jessie James last night, it infuriated me. Jessie, you're a much better man than Donald Trump ever imagined he could be.

25. "RE: Urrrgh." |
LAST EDITED ON 05-11-09 AT 07:31 PM (EST)You make a lot of valid points, but I don't buy the argument that Joan "played" Annie by getting on her nerves. She definitely got under Annie's skin, as Tom Green astutely pointed out. That seems like a pretty natural outcome, as Joan had hurled insults for several consecutive episodes. After all the crap she took from Joan, most people would vent about it to their peers. Maybe not to the degree Annie did, but I dunno. It was a pretty extreme situation. Still, I don't think Annie's silent auction would've been different without the Joan distraction. One could make the argument that she could've used her "venting time" to better her show, but I'm not sure how much more could be done. They used up pretty much every contact they had and they scrambled quickly to get the show together after the party planner fiasco. In terms of the task, their fight was pretty much a wash. Right until the very end, Annie kept using her track record as her core argument for winning. The only thing the fight really did was allow The Donald to latch onto a different topic, which isn't something Annie can control. Frankly, it was Joan's best chance of winning, anyway, since she wasn't likely going to beat Annie with a measured, logical argument. So that's something to Joan's credit, I guess. To use a poker analogy, it wasn't Annie getting mad and dumping all of her chips with deuce-seven offsuit.  A 2003 IceCat original

15. "RE: Urrrgh." |
LAST EDITED ON 05-12-09 AT 11:12 AM (EST)I agree. Joan Rivers is a despicable old harridan, and did not deserve to win. Annie is a tough taskmaster and a natural leader, (albeit with an ego) as demonstrated in many of the assignments. She even managed to get Tom Green, who once again proved to be difficult to work with in this episode as in earlier episodes, to be somewhat productive. Joan’s repeated comment about Annie being “below her” were just horrible, and horribly revealing of Joan River’s personality. Trump apparently weighed each of the 5 criteria equally, and it's incomprehensible to me that, in a competition where the main goal was to raise money for charity, that earning three times the money for charity was considered to be as important as "how many celebrities (or drag Queens)" showed up for the auction. If the object of the auction was to raise money, then achieving that goal should have carried more weight than any of the other criteria. I would argue for 40%, at least, which would mean that whoever earned the most money would only have to take one other category to win. That seems appropriate to me. Over the course of this season Annie out performed Joan handily, and she did so again with the last assignment. Except that Joan had more "celebrities" present. Annie should have won hands down. Trump is wrong, and should be fired. (I find myself repeating that at the end of every CA season)

16. "RE: I must have missed it." |
I taped it, so I could watch TAR, then went into the bedroom, where it wasn't taped, and watched the 2/3rd of it. Got up at midnight and watched the 3/3 of it, got up this morning and watched the 1/3 of it. Is that crazy or what??In any case, I don't think I missed anything! The whole premise was this: Annie and Joan absolutely hate each other, would do anything to slander, undermind, and crush the other, and Donald LOVES this kind of drama. If he had lived during the Gladiator days, he would have been first in line to watch the lions eat the men. He would have probably chosen the men he wanted to be eaten! Then patted himself on the back for his choice of lion food. I have to agree with Clint Black. The editing-that says it all. For all we know, it was all a big, honking fake/acting/scheme! And done well, I might say. I've seen both Joan and Annie on other shows before the finale, and they both swear they will never speak again, attend any functions where the other attends, etc. Who really cares?? I sure don't! I just like seeing these people, who consider themselves far and above the rest of us, showing their petty, stupid, sides, so I can look in the mirror every day and feel just a little bit better about myself. No face job, or anything....And I don't even play Polka. Or dance the Polka, either....although I did at one time, in the 4th grade. Good exercise! But those dresses, AYE!

19. "RE: The (three-hour) finale." |
I only watched the last 2 hours as I watched TAR finale.I wasn't sure who he was going to give it to but in the end, I think Trump caved to the pressure and chose Joan. I dislike them both but Annie was over the top. She made Piers Morgan likeable. You can bet that Trump will be cultivating his new crop of "celebrities" in order to top this season. I can't stand Trump but I keep watching and get sucked into the farce known as the Celebrity Apprentice. I really wish Trump would let people finish what they're saying! The "Beautiful Brande" comment creeped me out. Trump didn't even address Brian or Dice. I rolled my eyes when Trump clearly thought that the whole impersonator thing was so beneath him. He lets Dennis go on and on but then cuts off Jesse because Jesse is not being nice to Dennis. If Trump could see past his own sense of self-righteousness, he would see that Jesse wasn't commenting on Dennis' intelligence when he called him stupid. He meant that he was being short-sighted. But hey, whatever Trump wants... I wonder if Chloe declined to be on the finale because she was still pissed off at Trump and his whole morality-thing?

Next season we will probably end up with Perez Hilton against Miss California. Trump loves the drama.
