"The value of Trump"
There's been some discussion about how career savvy it is for some of these people to leave their jobs, take a possible cut in pay and go to work for Trump (or fight for the opportunity to do it).

IMO, I think that the possibility to work with Trump, make the networking connections and learn from him is invaluable. I don't care how successful you already are in business, he's one of the best in the world. I can totally understand why they'd do it.

Am I missing something here? What do you think?

1. "RE: The value of Trump"
The problem is that you assume that some of these people are taking a pay cut or giving up successful careers to have the opportunity to work for The Donald ... trouble is that I don't believe for a minute that some of these people are "in the top 3% nationwide in real estate sales" or whatever else the show claims they're doing. For example, we're told that Kristi is a "co-owner of the trendy eatery Juliano's RAW" (define 'co-owner' ... meaning 2%?) but conveniently leaves out her acting background in saucy roles in shows like "Red Shoe Diaries."

I'll give you that there's few, if any, better places in North America than to be working for The Donald and picking up many valuable networking connections to become set for the rest of your life. In that regard, it's a great idea to see if you can take a leave of absence from your current job to see if you can get a shot at working for The Donald - you can always go back if you fail.

2. "Disagree"
You can see my opinion of Trump and The Trump Organization in the episode 1 summary -- it's hardly the ideal place in North America to get a job, although it's a good place to learn how to schmooze and then fleece investors.

Nevertheless, most of these people aren't giving up much in their bid to work for The Trump Organization -- note my comment about their behavior when waiting to go into the boardroom for the first time. Real entrepreneurs wouldn't have been sitting around staring at the walls, no matter what instructions Mark Burnett had given them. Hey, entrepreneurs didn't get there by following the rules. Ask Mark Burnett.

So, like Pepe, I tend to doubt that most of these people are "the best and the brightest." I also think they'd probably learn more by apprenticing with Mark Burnett than with Donald Trump. But, then again, not many viewers would tune in for that. After all, who except for us insiders even know who Mark Burnett is -- while Donald Trump gets almost as many headlines as Michael Jackson.

3. "A horseracing "place" bet"
I think there's a two-way chance thing going on-- sort of like a "place" bet at the track.

If the person gets a job with the Trumpster, fantastic. They've achieved the ultimate goal (according to the program, at least).

If they don't, they have garnered a lot of attention for their business or personal careers. Name recognition can't hurt.

And they can achieve national attention without dancing around naked like Richard Hatch.

I dunno, the series still has a long ways to go. The way some of the women are dressing and behaving, I think that dancing around naked might pop up on the agenda.

5. "RE: A horseracing "place" bet"
I agree with you up until "if they don't." True, they will have acquired "a lot of attention for their business or personal careers," but in Omarosa's case: use of the black card will have detrimental results in her professional career to come.
