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."

"Pompous and Circumstance"
I know he's the star of the show, but The Donald is neither (a) the Pope; or (b) Queen Elizabeth II. I think the trumpet fanfare when he first appears to give the assignment is just a weeeeeeeee bit over the top.


Bet he tried to get permission to use "Hail to the Chief".

Or 'Holy Holy Holy, Lord God Almighty.' I turned it into a Hawkeye 10 question 'cause I don't get it, either. What's next, a henchmen whose only purpose is to keep the red carpet roll in front of his feet?

Yes, and the henchman must have a hunchback, wobble-walk, an odd name and respond to his requests with "Yez mazter." Add in an evil lair with a torture chamber (Ivana first) and the show is perfect.

I'd been wondering about that fanfare myself. At first I thought maybe they added it in after the fact for the viewing audience..but I seem to remember last week some of the candidates jumping in shock when it sounded off as the Dumbell came down the escalator.

Totally. I mostly like the music used in the show, but this was noticible too much. The background music should be just that, in the background.

I absolutely love, love, LOVE the trumpeting nonsense. Half the reason I watch this show is to see how often Trump pumps up his ego.

The horns are hysterical, please don't take them away!

It reminds me of a bad Three Stoodges short (oxymoron) where the stoodges enter the great hall dressed in 14th century English attire accompanied by the blare of trumpets.

When I first heard the trumpets, I turned to my wife and said that this totally reminds me of the fanfare for the "falcon twist" in Joe Schmo 2.

"trumpet fanfare "

It sounds like music for a gladiator making his entrance. Perhpas it's done tongue in cheek (at least on MB's part).



Everyone is entitled to my opinion.

I love the trumpets - I think the intent is for it to be over the top. It is almost as if the show is mocking Trump's own massive ego.

PS - Booooo. Hissssss.

that trumpet tune is the Ceasar entrance announcement.
I heard that tune in the movie "History of the World pt. 1" starring Mel Brooks. It's a parody movie.
