"Another Bait and Switch!"
Posted by HistoryDetective on 04-01-05 at 09:18 AM
Hello? Weren't we promised some sort of fireworks would take place during last night's episode? Didn't the "scenes from next week" and all the previews STRONGLY suggest that Chris was going to lose it and go on some sort of rampage? So, why were the clips from the preview of him getting in Alex's face the complete and total extent of his anticipated "explosion" this week? For that matter, the part where he was so worked up was him imitating what he thought Alex has said in the first place that made Chris resort to the f-bomb.

What a disappointment. NBC fooled me again by making a big promise and not delivering, almost a weekly event for "The Apprentice." The show has become so not-brilliant that I don't feel bad about missing an episode, but the previews convinced me that I needed to check in last night. Wankers.

It's gotten to the point where you can prdeict everything that will happen in the episode just by watching the preview. *sigh*

Most of the time, I can predict which team will win who will be fired within the first 15 minutes. *sigh*

This season is so lackluster with so few candidates to actually root for. *sigh*


... and I wouldn't be surprised if Matlock makes the final four. *sigh*

Well, the fireworks were Chris and Alex yelling at each other and the implied "threat" by Chris so we did get that. I mean I didn't think someone was going to get shot or anything on a business reality show. Were you all expecting to see blood or something ?


In the end, those of us that walk away winning, win more than just a loss - Audrey, Apprentice loser

I expected a confrontation that took longer than what they showed us in the preview clip. Chris has had several outburst in the boardroom that were far more volatile. I just didn't think that little tiff merited the "ticking timebomb" promotion that it received. Their argument? Pretty boring.

Or perhaps he played a different role in the past???

Hysterical....what can you say Bren is one of the six best of the worst cast yet.

Choosing which one to root for is kind of like choosing which size nail to pound into your head. You have to make a choice and anyway you go it is going to be painful.

I completely agree. I wouldn't want ANY of the remaining candidates working for me if I were Trump!

Ditto! This is why we have such morons this late in the game! They all suck!

Sigh! Again! Didn't the scenes from next week and the previews once again promise us that something surprising and astounding would happen after the firing? What did they deliver?

Chris got a little tear in his eye.

Big Effing Deal!

That episode was about as exciting as NetWorth's brochure.

Was this advertised as a "shocking" moment?


Yeah, what was supposed to be a roar turned out to be a wimper... literally!

Yes, we were promised that the real drama would be what happens after the board room. The ticking time bomb got a little blubbery. Whatever.

... and what the heck was that crap during the preview with Tana saying, "Oh my god!"???


That didn't happen when Chris was fired and crying! Tana wasn't even near the BR at the time. Plus Bren & Alex never said anything to Chris after the BR, they just hugged him goodbye. What a crock this show has become this season!


... and DT's already signed up for 2 more seasons? They better come up with something better than this next time.

The overhyping is really getting on my nerves. There was nothing that warranted a "Oh my god!". And even the ticking timebomb was way overhyped. I am not happy about it either. I think NBC realizes that people are losing interest in this season and are going out all stops to keep viewers.

I am SO glad other people noticed the "OH GOD" thing. I was waiting for Chris to explode. As he was walking out crying, I was expecting him to come back and freak out. When the door shut, I thought he'd burst back in with an Uzi. Where is our "OH GOD" moment???
