To me, firing Bradford seemed like nothing but a shock tactic, done soley for the purpose of entertainment. Which is fine, unless you try to pass it off as something that it wasn't.
I have often thought about that. Do you think that The Apprentice is more for entertainment than a "job interview"? I don't know what to think:).

But what about stacy J Ringing up for temps just on her own, i woulda fired her just for that.
Yeah, I can't believe she would just go and do that. I think she will be this seasons Omarosa:p.

and i think trump knows who he wants so he can go fire anyone that he wants, even
though bradford might have been stronger than the others, he wouldn't have won in
any case.
What makes you say that:)?

I think he had a chance. The show has only been on for two weeks! I was also asking why you believe Trump knows who he wants:).

I dont think it was a shock tactic although I can see why people would jump on that argument. The decision made alot of sense. Bradford was an IDIOT and his mistake was worse than Ivana's and Stacie J's combined...

I don't think so. Ivana had no idea. She wasn't firm enough and had no control of her team. Bradford was a good leader. He would have learnt from his mistake. Trump even admitted he has made stupid decisions in his life:).

Hmm, that is only a small part of the process though. They have to prove themselves and show that they can be adaptable and work in pressure situations:).

Raj and Andy are probably my two favourite people at the moment:).

I like Andy but I cant stand Raj...I hate Pamela as well

Edit: Interesting SMH take on this : It's a sad indictment on the industry when an audience's taste for drama is best satiated by reality TV. To put it another way, was everybody shocked to the core when Bradley was fired on The Apprentice this week?

The second series of The Apprentice (Thursday, Nine) seems to be offering more of the same and, right up until the last episode of series 1, that was good enough for me. Series 2 began with too much of The Donald. Every scene is designed to create the impression he's interrupting something terribly important just to speak to us or his drooling greedy protegees.

Donald Trump went to the Blake Carrington School of Tycoon Acting. He's always cancelling a meeting on his mobile just as the limo pulls up. It's hilarious and stupid, and really would have been more entertaining if he'd gone straight for JR Ewing and entered every shot holding a cut-crystal glass full of bourbon.


The novelty has worn off, but the competition lives on. A catfight between articulate, motivated, egotistical business graduates makes pretty good viewing. And that brings us back to Bradley, a man so cocky he waived his Project Manager Immunity this week and, in a stunning turnabout, found his arse on the footpath, fired.

Donald Trump apparently thought that move was so game-threateningly stupid that Bradley had to go. They're all going, one way or another, and now that we know the routine I doubt the outcomes will hold so much drama each week.

Yeah, the first thing I thought too was "oh come on...as if that wasn't done solely for shock value."

Raj reminds me alot of Sam from the first serious just on first impressions and all. Pamela is far to pointy and her selling technique was horrible.
