Apprentice story in the Washington Post:

washingtonpost.com

Ironically its a very superficial story that criticizes the show for being too superficial !! lol

But I liked some of the observations anyway:

It's sort of like saying, let's go watch "Dallas" reruns and learn the oil and gas business.

Where decisions are made in an ambiguous environment and you make those decisions based on sometimes quantitative information, sometimes qualitative information, but never enough information. And every time I thought they were about to give some insight into that, they beat something else over the head.

I feel like for each challenge, there's some groundrules and other stuff they feel isn't worth bothering us with. Also - the brainstorming/decision sessions that I'm sure must be happening before and during the challenges -- we don't see as much of those as we should.

Omorosa -- I was actually rooting for her (a little) until this week.

Its clear that no one likes her, yet we never got so really see why their dislike was so strong.

Omarosa got off to a rough start as Project Manager when Jessie and Kwame called to get the number of the charity. But Omarosa wouldn't give it to them, saying that she wanted to talk to the charity first. When they asked for the number again, Omarosa hung up on them! Jessie couldn't believe it and said that she thought it would be best for the team if Omarosa got fired.

Her total lack of respect for everyone came through with this one act.

But Omorosa is an EXTREMELY SKILLED political operator ! She's got a future in the Republican National Committee or Democratic National Committee ....

.... just as long as no one has to work for her -- cuz no one ever will for long !

lol
