speardefense33 76 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Hollywood Squares Square" 11-30-04, 12:44 PM (EST) "Anyone else bummed that we didn't get to see what Bradford was capable of?" Firstly, I understand why he got fired, that discussion is over and done with (hopefully) after it was analyzed in every single direction, but he was such a good character and seemed really dynamic, charismatic and like a true leader, and maybe it's just me but I'm actually kinda bummed out that we didn't get to see how he would have handled things down the stretch. I think he would have made the Final 4 or at least the Final 6. Hell, at least ahead of Ivana, which if he had kept his mouth shut, Ivana would be gone anyway. I know it's wishful thinking, but it's like seeing a promising rookie running back having his knee shredded after his first carry. He came back in the construction task and did a great job yet again. How do you guys think he would have fared?   Top

It's Trumps money and Trumps show. he obviously doesn't care how good or qualified someone is. If he/she doesn't fit into his perceived mold for the position he has in mind, he will fire them. He recently said the he had an eye on Bill Rancic from AP1 from the very beginning. Meaning, there may have been better candidates but Bill fit his particular job slot Trump had in mind. AP2 is probably no different. He most likely has someone already picked out and probably did so very early in the season. He also probably perceived that Bradford and Pamela (both who had the personality and smarts to win the whole thing) as roadblocks to who he really wants to hire...ahem Kelly or Jenn. As we all know the entire program was pretaped earlier this summer, how many different endings do you think MB will tape? There must be 2 or 3 options on who they want to fire for that particular program and they leave it open until that show is ready to air that week. When they decide, MB will cut and paste the appropriate ending in the boardroom. Probably the reason for the voice overs by TRump. They do this in movies all the time, you know once they release a DVD of a movie... they will offer different endings or alternate endings because they can just cut and paste.   Top

"Can't agree with that" I agree with many extra scenes being edited out, but different firings is really pushing it. If there a line that reality TV shouldn't cross, it's that one. When someone is out of a game, they're out, and the audience is let in on it if they are allowed back, ala Losers on Survivor, Big Brother. The voice overs by Trump drive me crazy, but I don't think I can believe that they tape a firing of more than the person who leaves. And how do you explain the reaction of the candidates, all staged too? "Ok, look happy and leave. Now look like you've just been fired and leave"? Keep your eye on the ball!   Top

I agree with you, Spear. I would have liked to see both Bradford and Pamela go further. Pamela because she seemed like a thorn in a lot of other contestants' sides (and she seemed very intelligent although now her DAW level is sky-high) and Bradford because he did show so much arrogance and charisma. He was excellent in the ice cream task and having him in the mix with the women's team really helped the dynamic. When he left, it just went completely downhill. But most importantly, if he was still around, WE WOULDN'T HAVE TO SEE STUPID IVANA. AaaaaaarrrrggghhhH!!!!!!!   Top

jae 412 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Daytime Soap Guest Star" 12-01-04, 06:12 AM (EST) 4. "RE: Anyone else bummed that we didn't get to see what Bradford was capable of?" >Anyone else bummed that we didn't >get to see what Bradford was capable of?" Not in the very least. I thought he was simply dreadful, to put it kindly. Just very quickly, off the top of my head: 1. Calling Apex "my girls" 2. Calling John "J-Dawg" 3. Calling himself "THE Bradford" 4. Overuse of the phrase "step up to the plate" 5. Chiding Kevin to step up to the plate and admit that he picked the contractor right after Kevin just did. (Does he hear anyone else other than the voices in his head telling him how great he is?) 6. Numerous attempts to "executive decision" his way to end a discussion. 7. That fake laugh 8. That bald head   Top

Everything you mentioned, just about 1-8 is exactly what Trump himself is like. He was Trump V 2.0.   Top

RangeRover 262 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Network TV Show Guest Star" 12-01-04, 11:17 AM (EST) 6. "RE: Anyone else bummed that we didn't get to see what Bradford was capable of?" Frankly both Bradford and Pamela brought something to the table and I would have liked to see if in fact that played out. Instead we get to see more of the Witchiepoo Midget making broad based statements such as "want another Enron" "I feared for my safety" or we see Kevin sweat enough to melt, Maria's endless blinking or Andy's constant reminding us he is a "masterbator" or whatever. Bravado was both Pamela and Bradford's trump card so to speak and Trump can only handle one ego at a time - his own. His ego this time interfered with the game and turned this season into a massive bore - much like his personality.   Top

Andy only mentioned he's the Master debator in the first Episode. After that, it's only his teammates or Donald Trump (and also Bill) who made the reference that he's the great debater.   Top

RangeRover 262 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Network TV Show Guest Star" 12-01-04, 12:11 PM (EST) 8. "RE: Anyone else bummed that we didn't get to see what Bradford was capable of?" Don't care who said it or brought it up it was said over and over again.. along with the "age gap". Regardless, Andy bored me. Trump claims this show is a job interview - but his decisions regarding terminations are so arbitrary and inconsistent with the idea of it being anything but a game show with ratings as the bottom line. I have never believed for one minute that the "job" is anything but being a PR rep and figurehead, one look of Bill this season confirmed that. But to continue to pass off the whole notion of running his companies, trashing Branson and Cuban for their shows and their ideas about hiring people - I have to laugh when he keeps contenders that simply seem to be window dressing and nothing more.   Top

Angelfood 2114 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Roller Coaster Inaugurator" 12-01-04, 12:33 PM (EST) 9. "Great List, Jae!!" Not sorry to see him go, although he does seem like a decent guy. and if I can add, 9. Choosing his toy idea over the gals, simply for the self-admitted purpose of "wanting to see it made". What an ego! You'd think that the victory of the team would come first, but nooo. 10. Encouraging the girls to whore it up, like a Pimp Daddy.   Top

speardefense33 76 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Hollywood Squares Square" 12-01-04, 02:26 PM (EST) 10. "RE: Great List, Jae!!" LAST EDITED ON 12-01-04 AT 02:27 PM (EST) Know what's ironic? And I'm dead serious about this. I was in a store the other day and guess what I saw? That's right folks, a remote-controlled football guy. I s*it you not. I couldn't believe my own eyes. Someone actually went with it and is selling it. And secondly, he wasn't too overbearing. He did the smart thing and presented both ideas to the company to feel both ideas out before he pulled the trigger on one and backed off with his and promoted the women's after he got feedback. Besides, the women are SO incredible indecisive, you needed to be tough and decisive for them. Unfortunately that's what led to Pamela's firing.   Top

Spear, now you're giving him too much credit. It seemed to me that he presented his lame idea, got shot WAY down, and in order to cover his #####, blurted out the women's idea to see how it would play. He never would have presented the women's idea if his idea wasn't met with derision. Bradford's swaggering was amusing to me, although it did get overbearing. It was fun to hate him though, MUCH more fun to hate him than Ivana. I hate hating Ivana. Angelfood, never let me see that pic again! My eyes burned.   Top

unitabackup 175 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Blistex Spokesperson" 12-01-04, 05:22 PM (EST) 11. "RE: Anyone else bummed that we didn't get to see what Bradford was capable of?" I think the same thing everytime I see his picture on The Apprentice site. Too bad Brad.   Top

ARnutz 13937 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 12-01-04, 07:29 PM (EST) 12. "NOPE!!!" His arrogance would have done him in by now anyway. A J Slice original (c)2004   Top

He would have been fired soon after. Too much arrogance and bravado, not enough leadership experience. The "executive decision" on the toy car and "primp my girls" were just samples of what was to come   Top

pines6217 34 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Beauty Pageant Celebrity Judge" 12-02-04, 11:47 PM (EST) 15. "RE: Anyone else bummed that we didn't get to see what Bradford was capable of?" Judging by the recent collosial goof-ups made on the show, such as Andy losing a cell-phone, an unfinished job on remodeling a home, and bringing a large map of the world and a globe to a conference room (to talk about Pepsi Cola), it's become apparent that Donald has been firing the wrong people! Had Bradford and Pamela still been around during these shows, I believe none of these things would have happened! But perhaps that's the whole idea - NBC's wants to keep their ratings high - I'd have to admit - I'll be joking about globes on a Pepsi bottle for a very long time! Of course, anything can happen on the upcoming interview, but to me, Kevin seems like he has it most together out of everyone else - and I think he will win.   Top
