Another drama free episode but at least Carolla was back to get a few zingers in.

Agreed!

Interesting that Aubry is lookin' like a contenda, tho...

Why has nobody on the men's team mentioned Andretti. Does he do anything? Is it all just off camera? Has Trump even asked him a question?

Also here are my final four picks

Lisa Lampinelli
Aubrey O'Day
Adam Carolla
Arsenio Hall

Andretti looks like a production assistant caught in a shot whenever he is seen working with the guys on a task. Just doesn't fit in.

LOL. That is the perfect way to describe him so far.

Re: *** Celebrity Apprentice: Season 5 ***

Here's a problem that Trump faces this season, all the men are good.

Both of the firings didn't make any sense last night. The male presentation was better than the female team. Trump's argument of Andretti not being project leader was stupid. Andretti test drove the car and was on stage for the Q+A. Him being the project manager doesn't change anything.

We are also seeing a trend of the PM's saying they don't want to bring anybody back in the boardroom if the lose and not willing to name names. While this is smart for the players, it makes for really boring television.

Trump might as well pick names out of a hat.

It was weird, because unless I forgot something, the biggest knocks were that the men:
- Didn't have Andretti in the most prominent role
- Didn't seem to be as much of a team as the women

Neither of those are a direct reflection of the presentation's quality itself. I'm all for Andretti being gone (unless it was hidden by editing, he hasn't done anything noteworthy), but I think Carolla could've gone pretty far on the show.

Carolla I'm OK being fired from losing the task, Andretti appeared to be fired for being a boring introvert that equates to boring TV and no drama rather than anything wrong with this task.

One Lou is gone, hopefully next week, firings for the men get much, much more difficult.

The executives/Don Jr. not complaining about the "You Suck" part of it was bull. Almost seems like they used the "underutilized" excuse to not single out Lou and Paul Sr and the Trumps took it the wrong way.

I agree with the Carolla firing purely because he was project manager, I just think he had some longevity on the show. That's the nature of the show though. Any task can wipe you out.

I think Trump was just really put off that Andretti wasn't PM for the task and he was fired from that moment. Andretti's reasoning that it was primarily a marketing task is valid, but at this early stage of the show and a large team, had he taken on the PM role he could've used his team in larger roles to cover up any inadequacy that he might have in the marketing/presentation aspect.

One Lou is gone, hopefully next week, firings for the men get much, much more difficult.

I don't really mind Lou. I know last night the team unanimously shot down the suggestion that Lou wants to work, but I always get the impression that he does; he's just incredibly limited in what he can do. Seems like a good workhorse guy, but wouldn't be great at presenting products or (later in the show) calling in big-money donors; both of which are obvious cornerstones of the show.

Women should have lost by default for mispronouncing the name of the car twice in the presentation.

[jack1535]

I wonder if Trump promised Buick Andretti would be talking about the car a lot. I mean he told Andretti to be the PM

Trump can't be happy with Carolla exposing how fake/manipulative the show is.

Re: *** Celebrity Apprentice: Season 5 ***

Not surprising - it IS a reality show - but really interesting to hear him talk about it.

Re: *** Celebrity Apprentice: Season 5 ***

So last night's firing was...inconsistent...with one of the reasons for Adam Carolla's firing, no?

[VanCitySportsGuy]

Re: *** Celebrity Apprentice: Season 5 ***

I don't think there's really any point in really looking behind the logic in the firings. It's pretty random.

I'm glad the claws are finally coming out. I'm on Team Aubrey. I also found it weird how Don Jr wanted to find out his Dads "number" in the boardroom.
