WINNER IS JOAN ALL THE WAY TO THE BANK! HA HA

There is a time and a place for everything. Annie chose not to expose her hand. There is nothing underhanded or duplicitous about it.

It’s called a bit of tact, class and self-control. If Annie had allowed herself to be drawn in by Joan in the Board Room, then she would be shown as having as little class and tact as Joan.

Annie has been honest about her dislike for Joan. When asked a direct question about it, she gave an honest answer. That doesn’t mean she needs to go on public tirades

The Private Camera Inerview is like a video diary, this is the forum where Annie chose to speak out. But to do so in the Board Room the way Joan has is tactless, unprofessional & disrespectful.

Joan has never attempted to discuss things or confront Annie the way a normal rational person would have handled things. Annie on the other hand attempted earlier on to talk to the Rivers and was shut down. There is nothing more she can do. She extended the olive branch and had her hand bit off.

Definitely the best season of US Apprentice and actually of all the TV shows going (including Lost, 24, Survivor, Amazing Race), the strongest season of what’s currently on air!

Still the UK Apprentice has been much better in the big picture. More interesting tasks and firings that make sense.

Still I didn’t like the way Jesse communicated on the edits we saw on TV on many occasions. But it was obvious that Clint had no clue and since Clint can’t completely give up on his ideas ever it seems Jesse just gave up there and got frustrated with the direction of things.

And while I like your way of playing the game, there’s some truth in the previous comments. You say in the board room you don’t do the backhanded stuff like Rivers and then the next edit shows you in the private camera session saying mean things too so you kinda dropped of any high horse you were trying to ride on there.

Nevertheless no one’s perfect. If I had some advice for further TV/presentation appearances to give, I’d try to work on the fake-grins/smiles of yours. They look scary! When you’re “natural” it just looks cute. Better not to try to forcedly grin at all imo than end up looking like Melissa. There’s professionals who can help with this without botox.

I just saw the episode in which your jingle/radio spot bested Clint Black, and came away both impressed with your performance and appalled at your childish, ungracious, petty behavior.

First, I though Clint’s jingle was good but predictably country. It was too narrow musically and lyrically, failing to capture Chicken of the Sea’s demographic or the full value of the product. It sounded good, though, and their spot was very funny. Your jingle accomplished everything it needed to, though it was understandably inferior musically and your radio spot was quite basic and trite.

All in all, it was a solid effort by all involved and a good competition in which the executives and Donald — as Clint graciously acknowledged — were fair. You, however, were childish. You focused on the fact that you “beat Clint” in writing a jingle. You did, but it was because of the substance and focus of the jingle, which you misconstrued to mean that a poker player who’d “never written anything in her life” somehow single-handedly out performed a star musically. Not true. Then, when the other team was discussing your jingle and radio spot, with you in the other room, you were so petty. They both complimented and criticized your work, which should be expected. And you immediately chimed in with snarky comments — wasn’t it enough that you won? On top of that, they were being fair and you were too insecure and selfish to recognize that.

I am not minimizing your performance — just pointing out what is already obvious. You are an appallingly petty person and you embarrass yourself, despite your success. I pray that your attitude ended up bringing you bad fortune at some point in the show, if there is any justice in the world.
