"Alliances"
Posted by Angelfood on 09-30-04 at 10:24 AM
Funny to see them form, and I think its actually harming instead of helping? I'd also like to surmise who is rooming with whom - seems to indicate who sticks together.

JenC and Sandy - roomies? Funny how their alliance hurt JenC this week in the BR.
Also, Eliz and Ivana.

Anyone have insight or catch anything more from the episode or extended scenes? (I just watched the ones on Yahoo).

Bill made a comment on that, which I appreciate. It still doesn't excuse Trump's behavior, (ala Stacie J) but it shows that playing The Apprentice the way you play Survivor won't work. It seemed that Trump had lost all his marbles for a while there.

I think that "alliance" is too strong of a word to describe the behavior that's taking place. First, people brought together under these circumstances are going to make at least one or two close friends among their teammates. Second, failure tends to polarize the responsible team while the search begins for who was responsible. I don't see anything different here from last season when the PM consulted with others (their friends) about who to bring in and the likely boardroom candidates who discussed the probability of going to the BR with their friends. Also, everyone thinks that Stacie J. was mistreated and singled out unfairly for termination but it really wasn't all that different from when the guys turned on Sam last year.

Remember when Ereka got fired? She should've brought Katrina into the boardroom with her but she didn't because that was her "friend". Had Ereka brought Katrina into the boardroom, Katrina would've been the one to get the boot. I think this is what Bill was referring to.

Subman, you have a valid point. Toward the end of the first Apprentice, you wound up with the four remaining guys as 'friends' in two separate groups: Bill/Nick and Kwame/Troy.

Also, everyone thinks that Stacie J. was mistreated and singled out unfairly for termination but it really wasn't all that different from when the guys turned on Sam last year.

True both of them (Stacie J. and Sam) began with some over-the-top behavior, but I think Stacie J. pretty much settled down after the first episode and appeared normal. Sam on the other hand was pretty consistent in his bizarre behavior (sleeping in ep. 2, and the way he led the men in ep. 3)

For what it's worth, Elizabeth and Jenn C. were roommates. Elizabeth brought that up during the extended boardroom scenes.

subman - I agree with your assessment that "alliance" is too strong a word. It's more simple friendship than anything else.

Captain Savem - I disagree with your hypothesis that Katrina would've been fired before Ereka. Ereka was weaker and last season the one with the weakest potential was always fired with the exception of the drama king and queen Sam and Omarosa. I think Nick would've been fired instead if Ereka hadn't had the breakdown and had brought Katrina in.

I think it's obvious Pamela and Ivana were roommates from the last ep.

Question: It's 9 vs 9. Are there 2 people living in singles or is there a co-ed room?
