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."

It wasn't lit. A lot of people like to hold unlit cigars for some reason. The name for these people is "idiots."

My first thought on the cigar was PHALLIC SYMBOL! Perhaps a salute to the dink that started it all?

The whole cigar thing didn't make sense. I wish he would just stop. I mean, can't he just put the darned thing away during filming. It was a little disconcerting.

Maybe it was his variation on Bob Dole holding a pencil.

As Freud would put it, "Sometimes a cigar is JUST a cigar!"

I've never been a smoker, but don't people do that sometimes when they are trying to quit?

Yes that's likely true however they don't do it on national television! It jsut figured too prominently in some shots to not have some kind of yet-to be-discovered meaning. JMO

It just seemed rediculous (sp?)! It reminded me of a 16 year old with a cigarette behind their ear because they want to show off that they smoke! I noticed that in part of it he had it in his pocket ... that's a great spot for it! Just annoying! I don't care that people smoke but please, rarely do people carry around their cigarettes just because ... especially on tv!

19. "Charles' Cigar 'just doesn't fit in'" |
clearly, there is no other explanation for giving so much air time to mr. koppelman with his cigar, other than some sort of product placement deal that either he,or martha stewart omnimedia (mso), or mark burnett productions, or donald trump's organization is deriving, either from the cigar trade association, or cigar aficionado magazine which has featured mr. koppelman in the past. or mso, mark burnett productions or the trump organization could be trading advertising air time with print ads, or some other branding deal. there is no other reason for showing so much air time for cigars; it's so obvious someone is making money off of it. we all know that donald trump can't stand cigarette smoke, so it is shocking that he would permit such blatant advertising for the cigar trade association, on one of his franchise shows, whether or not anyone is getting paid for it. what's even more surprising is that a few months ago, donald trump did a radio public service announcement in favor of giving certain ratings on movies with smoking characters b/c he felt that children's parents should know before they take their kids to see a movie. how ironic for his partnership with mark burnett productions and mso to now flaunt cigar smoking, on a family time slot of 8 pm, knowing that martha stewart appeals to a wide demographic, including teens, and the apprentice appeals to a wide demographic, including young adults that aspire to be ceo's and want emulate the ceo's behavior. if mr. koppelman, martha stewart and donald trump 'inspire' one person to pick up cigar smoking, shame on them.
