PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

"Is Omarosa a Ringer?" |
I think Omarosa is a ringer.She is there to create disturbances, add stress, be outrageous, etc. -- to cause the other players to REACT. To ensure that the show will make good TV viewing for you and me. Caroline and George and Bernie? (the new guy) don't know this. Only Donald knows this. That is why he does not fire her yet. He knows that she is part of the show. That is why Omarosa is so smug going into the boardroom and so smug returning to the hotel room. She knows that she is not going to be the who is fired. (How many times has she been in the boardroom? Every time since the gender teams broke up. Always confidant, though...) Omarosa really is who she says, and applied for the program just like all the other candidates. But the producers picked her out and made an agreement with her to be an agitator, perhaps because they already saw those qualites in her (and she expressed them readily) so all they had to do was encourage her. She is paid, or has some other agreement with the producers. She will not win, a real candidate will win, but she will be around for a while, to keep things lively. TReality TV shows pull stuff like this all the time. Whatever makes things interesting and keeps the ratings up. Characters like Tammy and Heidi and Sam were just strokes of luck to the producers. How could the producers have predicted them? They needed to ENSURE that the show would be lively, hence Omarosa. This is my theory. Even if it's not true, it's plausible...

It is plausible. And it has been discussed before. I can see them doing something like this on a sequel, but not on a first addition. Additionally, I think if they were going to include a ringer, it would be either a white male or white female. I don't think the producers would want to be accused of perpetuating negative racial stereotypes.

Gervis, Gervis, Gervis!!! I don't know if the Survivor casting was intentional or coincidence. But even if it were intentional, that would be completely different, in my mind, than paying someone to secrectly act like a stereotype.

I don't know if I would go that far but, I'm sure that when they cast the show the producers went for a wide mix of characters, some of whom would become volatile at times when teamed up together and placed under stress.

I like her fiestiness. However, I do agree with you. She's still on the show to help the ratings. And I must say, it is working. She's the only reason I'm still watching.

Is it passed MB to put in a ringer to stir things up? Being that I've only watched a handful of Survivor eps since it's been on, I don't know if he's done this in the past. But, Omarosa's behavior last night made me think that she is a ringer. Or, the stupidest person on the planet.It was so much fun watching her continstantly shoot her team in the foot. Clearly, she understood that she was not supposed to talk numbers. She agreed to this on camera after every sales call, yet there she was selling one case at a time. Over and over again. She almost sent oh-so-perfect Amy over the edge. There cannot be any strategy on her part. She's gotta know that if her team lost, she was going to the boardroom. So, either she doesn't fear the boardroom because she's a ringer. Or, she just doesn't get it. Didn't you just love her decision to get a make-over during a sales pitch? Gotta keep this woman around for awhile to keep stirring things up.

Enough of her damn head injury!! Stoopid tramp. It was a little piece of dry wall. I swear, if that same thing fell on a small baby, I would have very little conern. It simply is not capable of injuring anyone, of any size. She's still complaining. She cant work with the head injury but she can go play basketball. She sucks and she's a total detriment to everything the team tries to do. As for the portrayal of the guys on Survivor, hey, if their lazy slackers with bad attitudes, so be it. Cant blame the producers for choosing that footage when it's probably the most interesting things those guys did.

There is no way Omarosa is a ringer. The reason being that she and her claims has been profiled on CNN, ABC (the View), and hundreds of newspapers around the country. If it got revealed that all these sources were essentially being set up with a hoax, the backlash against CBS and Trump would be extremely negative.
