LOL, Vinnie's going to be in the Sleepaway Camp movie, where he plays the greedy owner of a camp where people get bumped off. I can't wait.

I'm sorry, I'm still getting over Big Pussy being the rat on the team......

...I would think this whole thing was scripted, except it made almost everyone involved look like a complete and total douchebag

I am going to miss Vinnie. The women should have allowed him to join. LOL at Journey playing at the end. Wow, first that song was the theme song for the White Sox when they won the world series, then it used at the end of the Sopranos now in the best episode ever of the Apprentice. Like Richard Roeper says, if I ever get married I'm going to have to hire Steve Perry to sing at my wedding.

Piers taunting the girls should go alongside such stupid reality TV moves as Fairplay pissing off Andrew so much he single-handedly won immunity, or Boston Rob trying to trick Uchenna/Joyce about an imaginary earlier flight that turned out to actually exist.

Not sure what I really think about the womens move. They were obviously questioning it, and Omarosa was the one championing it because she hates Piers and she could completely buy that Vinnie was having legitimate problems working for him.

Which - obviously - he was.

At the very least, even if he was a rat they took manpower away from the mens team, and added manpower to their team

Not in the end, no. I believe Vinnie did offer Marilu some good tips that went unaired that helped lead to their win. If anything, I think the women were stupid to get rid of him. They should have adopted him as a permanent member once they realized he wanted to stay and talked it over with Donald before the boardroom. That way, he could have revealed the weaknesses of the men if they won(for later tasks) and they could've nominated him to be fired if they lost this task. However,...

Possibly, but from a marketing standpoint I would guess it is well-worth it to them. That kind of an icon is great publicity.

That was fantastic. On so many levels. I'm glad Piers is still there. He probably should have been fired (too) - but he's great entertainment.

To me, his biggest misstep last night was the teasing and taunting the women about their campaign. He obviously thought he was a brilliant mastermind of this plan, and he wanted to "get off" on seeing the women realize how stupid they were for trusting Vinnie. However, he just set in motion a chain of events that almost...

As a gay man, I am finding Ivanka hotter each time I see her on my television.

I am having the same disturbing experience as well.

So does anybody else think that since these celebs aren't actually fighting for a job in the Trump organization that the last episode is just gonna consist of the finalists trying to convince the Don who's charity is more worthy?

The women deserved to lose simply because "Share the Love" has to be the worst slogan of all time. The big shoe was good (albeit kind of freaky looking--it sure doens't make crocs look cute.) The men had a much more powerful slogan and message. Of course, you knew that if they could justify a woman's win in any way at all, then it would go to them. They really do suck. And really, this should be even more lop-sided since Gene took the hit when he was sent over to that team....

They were playing for the camera.
That's not reality.
That's ACTING!

omg...This show is no longer a trainwreck...This episode puts Apprentice on the map as a reality show great! I enjoyed this more than Survivor!

Too long?! No way, I think it was perfect. Imagine the 30 minutes of Vinny freaking out and muttering random mafia-esque crap that we would have missed out on!

Honestly though, what a hilarious and amazing episode. Yay for the Apprentice being back in full force. And then when they did the Journey song and the black screen with no cab?... x a lot

Way too long.
An hour would have been good.
Vinnie should be spelled Vinni.
What a prissy moron.
Who do you think he's kidding?
Or is he really that stupid?

Since Cousin O is so often out to lunch this season, I guess it lies upon me to start the Episode of the Week threads!

So, who defects to the other team this week, as per the previews? We shall see! Will we get another Croch Close-up of Trace? We shall see!
