Welcome to The Apprentice: Martha Voting Thread.

The purpose of this thread is to predict who will be fired in this week's (Wednesday 10/5) episode. You have until 5 minutes before the episode starts (8:00 EST).

The Rules:

1. Please put the name of your choice for this week's firing IN THE SUBJECT HEADING! This is really easy. Just highlight and delete the bit where it says "Re: The Apprentice Martha Stewart, Episode 1: It's Time to Vote!" and replace with your vote, i.e., Jeff.

This is important -- in the subject header, please ONLY use names. This avoids confusion and time-wasting to do the tallies. If the title has no name listed, we won't count the ballot.

THE CANDIDATES:

Amanda
Bethenny
Carrie

David
Dawn
Dawna
Howie

Jennifer
Jim
Leslie
Marcela
Ryan
Sarah
Shawn

2. Reply ONLY to this post! Curves on women are good. Curves on vote threads are bad.
EXCEPTION TO RULE 2! VOTE CHANGES -- If it just so happens that you want to change your vote for whatever reason, REPLY TO YOUR ORIGINAL POST! Your new post heading should read "VOTE CHANGE: Name".

3. Make any other predictions or comments in the body of your message.

4. THIS IS NOT A DISCUSSION THREAD! This is a voting thread! There are plenty of places on the Spoilers Forum to debate the merits of people's arguments. Let's keep it out of here, please. Feel free to explain the reasoning behind your vote, though.

5. Have fun!

Some comments:

~ We haven't had too many participants, so I haven't bothered to do any tallies because, well... I figure everyone can read the few votes we've have.

~ Should I bother to keep this weekly voting thread going? If we keep this very slow pace, I may just abandon this thing altogether. Feel free to make any comments in the body of your message! DO NOT make it a discussion!
