"D-Apprentice #4 Episode #4 East Coast Spoiler Thread"
Please keep all discussion of tonight's episode on this thread until the West Coast gets a chance to do what I'm doing: completely blowing it off in order to watch the season premiere of Celebrity Poker Showdown. In fact, feel free to have a play-by-play discussion of the Desperate Househusband poker hands here, 'cause it'll be a lot more interesting than what Donald and his Idiots Of The Moment are doing. How's that for an insult, Donald? I don't watch the show these actors all come from, I couldn't care less about it, but I still think watching them play poker will be more entertaining than seeing how your hand-picked morons manage to mess things up this time. Oh, sorry -- I meant to say 'nose-picked'. And during the commercials? Three letters: GSN. I think they're rerunning the TAR1 premiere tonight and even though I own it on DVD -- as opposed to owning nothing for your show -- it might be fun to catch a few seconds of it again, because that's also more entertaining than the antics of Exceed and PleaseShootUs. So if you want to make things interesting in the Boardroom tonight, here's some words of advice: go all-in on 2-7 offsuit. Come to think of it, that sort of explains the last three people you hired.

I'll be watching! I've also got my VCR ready so I can start summarizing the show when it gets done! I'll be up till 1 or 2 to get the summary posted. I didn't have school today and relaxed and I'll do the same tomorrow, so watching The Donald is the best thing to do till my friends come back tomorrow evening.

DT takes Toral to task & tells her she'd better shape up. She wants to step up, even though she doesn't have a marketing bkground, only if no one else will. Felicia says she'll do it. (She doesn't have a mrktng bkgrd, either - but she doesn't mealy-mouth it.

Thhe women are doing a cartoon character. The guys are doing a genie from Alaska. They want it to be something little kids like, sexy, big boobs. One of them needs to dress in drag.
Thhe women ask Toral to be the character. She refuses. She's not comfortable. The rest are po'd. (Don't blame them.)

I'm having a hard time seeing them win with this one. Unfortunate, in a way. If the women lost I think it would be a unanimous anti-Toral vote. Even Rebecca is less than happy with her performance this time.

Well, they're trying. But, it would embarrass her family & her employer (like being on the show isn't enough). She says that Carolyn would absolutely refuse if Trump asked her to do that. Somehow I doubt that. But, even if that were true, Toral's not exactly at Caolyn's level. (Nor will she be, even if she wins.)

Well, you might be right, but I think Torals' ego is going to get out of hand. DT told her she needed to shape up. I think he's gonna call her on it & she's gonna implode. He came out & said he wanted to fire her last week, after all. I don't think she has any idea how thin a sheet of ice she's on.

I too like Rebecca a lot. Before the team headed to the boardroom, I really feel sorry for her that she has to listen to Toral's senseless complaints and give her emotional support as a friend, eventhough she doesn't seem to be pleased with Toral's attitude and the way she talks down upon all the girls.
Trump asked some tough questions in the boardroom. I am happy to see that she showed the Trump that she understands friendship is not always more important than good business decisions. I hope Rebecca will go far in this show and have a bright future - regardless whether she wins the Apprentice or not.

Don't know whether it's fair to compare these 2 people. Eventhough both Toral and Omarossa always come up with excuses for not doing their task, Toral had much more firepower than Omarossa when they are in the boardroom.
Remember how weak Ommarosa was when she broke down in tears and cried on Kwame's shoulder and pleaded with Trump? Omraossa acted so tough outside the boardroom, but in the boardroom, she's a completely different person. Toral on the other hand, was very tough in the boardroom. She is no coward. She wasn't afraid to single handedly fight against everyone in the boardroom in front of George, Carolyn, and Trump.
