I think Kristen is sexy, she's like a brown haired younger Bo Derrick.

While I'm on the topic of celebrity resemblances, Danny looks like Aston Kutcher, and John looks like Vince Vaughn.

John has been the most empressive from the footage we've seen thus far.

John is Vince Vaughn-Baldwyn.

He's my pick so far, but like Survivor, could get taken down simply because he's in the lead early. [/b][/quote]
survivor style take downs wont' work in apprentice though...unless the team is really subtle at sabotaging a PM

if Trump likes the guy, he'll stick around

I"m glad I'm not the only one that thinks
1. John is the best so far
2. is Vince Vaughn

No sleep or food for 2 days - did Verna actually go to college or not? Who HASN'T done this? I seem to recall many a group project, term paper deadline, or exam week that took me way past redline.

Of course, I remembered to eat a bag of chips at least....

I wouldn't suggest that he'd be gone so much because everyone else disliked him for being an able, strong leader (Survivor style). I'd more assume that because he's been identified as that type earlier, he may get larger shares in authority, and responsibility, that may come to shoot him if he loses as a project leader.

Some people from the last one led projects 3+ times, and I've found quite often that the PM's are always the most likely to get fired. If he PM's 3-4 times, his chance of going increase a lot imo.

fair enough...although I believe Kelly was PM three or four times last season, he was just darn good, and his team was rarely in the boardroom

but good point, being PM does enhance the likelihood you will end up in the boardroom, and that's always a vulnerability

You're right, Kelly was PM 3 times and won all of them, and went on to win the competition. Of course, there were definitely times when Kelly looked like he was a goner, especially given the spotlight on him due to his leadership roles. He was also blessed w/ a decent team (guys blew girls away usually?).

I thought for sure Kevin was going to beat Kelly, but it didn't happen.

Funny thing this morning . . . .

Brian, the firee, was on an early morning news show and said Trump fired him immediately when Brian invited him to . . . . but then realized how much dead air that might create so did some more interrogating before coming back and torching him a second time.

Also, Brian, in real life, is apparently the guy who invented the glow stick and has a patent on it.

That's kinda strange, no? Why would he be looking for a job, why would he even have a current job, if he invented and had a patent on glow sticks? Even more to the point, I poked around for about 10 seconds and came up with the news that they were invented in the 60's.

Was he more specific than "glow stick"?

Did anyone else find it ironic that she wasn't able to order food and coffee because of this?

The announcers brought it up - he simply confirmed.

I thought they said glo-sticks . . . glow necklaces, etc. Something like that. Anyway, he's made some big bucks on his own already.
