The former Playmate of the Year Tiffany Fallon was just fired by Trump for primarily not calling up Hugh Heffner for money.  Bad decision? In Trump's eyes YES! Her alibi: She was saving the Heffner card to play later on a tougher task.  Makes sense, however they did lose the task.  Omarosa made the ultimate bad call not to sell the "celebrity factor", I'd say this is a bigger mistake.

Way to go, Gene! Your label for Omarosa is super - concise, accurate, and sufficiently hostile and sarcastic. She is indeed a cockroach!

Omarosa The Cockroach!

Tiffany was fired only so that Omarosa The Cockroach could be kept around to catalyze future conflicts. Duh!

Just watched the show. What a disappointment. Tiffany didn't speak up and tell Trump that she did what was expected from her Team Leader....which was to sell hot dogs without the celebrity appeal. Omarosa should have been the one slated to go. (Unless Trump feels that her hate appeal with spark TV ratings). It turned me off.

I think they had no right to "expect" Tiffany to call Hef - and how was he to get the money to her "on the spot" if he lives in L.A?
Omarosa is rude, and they'll keep her just to keep ratings up.
Tiffany was "too nice" and it brought her down but she left with class showing that she is a Lady!
Way to go Tiff!!!

[MrsW]

Although I am in Canada, even I realized that the moment they mentioned all the commuters coming out of Penn Station, that it was a poor location!
Business men arriving for work are going to buy hot dogs?? I don't think so!
They were there at noon anyway - not when all the commuters would be arriving!
Omarosa as the leader should have realized that!!!
They will keep her on just for the shock appeal and to bring in viewers because she grates on us all!!!!
That woman will never stop interrupting others!
She is so rude!

Omarosa is the one that had to be fired, she didn't make a smart decision, she didn't understand that this is a Celebrities Apprentice and she should take advantage of that just as the men team did.

Omarosa (however she wants it pronounced) is a LOOSER. She is such a worthless b*tch, and Trump hopes he can pick up ratings with keeping her on board. That seems like the only reason to keep her around. As for my wife and I, we will not watch another episode this season until she is gone - and maybe not even then.

Mr. Trump, if you were hoping for more ratins, you may get them with her. Then again, there may be many others out there who will tune out because of your choice, just like us.

As for Tiffany. You are admired here. You showed class in your actions. Respect is earned, not taken. A lesson that the "cockroach" should learn.

Sad day for Americans when Mr. Trump and a network select "ratings" over the
"truth". Even his children questioned Omarosa...is Mr. Trump getting too old to see this. I say we boycott the program.

Wonderful new name for omerosa...cockroach...if she hangs out for another 15 minutes, hopefully this name sticks

[Dan]

YOU ARE ALL MISSING THE POINT... it's not about weather or not Omorosa made a mistake. It's about Tiffany not being able to fight back. Trump respects people who stick up for themselves in the boardroom. Even though at the end the celeb who wins doesn't get a job, the tasks are still business related. Trump still has to judge the celebs based on weather or not they could actually work for him. Tiffany didn't cut it, she was to nice and would get ripped apart by investment bankers and investors.

Mr. Trump,
In the boardroom, Omarosa just pulls sh*! out of her ass every time and slings it smack on your face; and you just sit and let it splatter. She makes a chump out of a trump. You let her just run with your name and bulldoze it.
Omarassa, (sp?) is a sociopath. She is either getting great joy from reading this, or she is pretending she's getting great joy. I would bet on the latter; her ego being the greater of the two. Therefore she is really just a weak yet solicitous coward, who's got you by the place where sperm once flowed. However, this obvious weakness of Omarassa's, in no way abdicates her from her insults, lying, cheap cut-throat tactics and lack of professionalism; in fact, the very professionalism she hurls all over your face, which you appear to just lick off your lips as though it were candy.
In the name of Freedom of Speech, she is a liar, and you know it. She takes the 360 out of spin and you know it. This greatly detracts from your credibility as well as the show's credibility and demonstrates your desperation to succeed with this so-far-faux-show...makes one wonder whether the other participants and anyone involved are held to a waiver to keep tight lipped, and not speak up against the big 'O' just so you can bank on the drama of a bitch with a chip on the pre-existing chip-on-her-shoulder, for a successful season of this so-called show.
Some reports of the possibility of your show in dire need for a renewal, for this and other seasons, are seemingly verified by this evening's happenings. Omarassa should have gone. As the leader, why didn't she ask if anyone could call on their contacts for $? Why is her lying glorified in the board room. She flat out denied those women from using their sex-appeal and celebrity in the first 10 minutes. Then she lied to you about what she said. If I were present with her in that room, I would have taken her spot-on to every point of every lie she spewed.
Hey, here's a new twist to your desparado show: have each PM take a lie detector test AFTER each board room session.
Most disturbing is that you and this "show" are exploiting charities and humanity itself by utilizing cheap, lying, dishonorable tactics to buy an audience.
Shame seems to be the name of the game. Shame! I guess if shame sells, you'll peddle it.

[Steve]

The missing point???? Keep a liar, cheater or an honest apprentice.
That is what is wrong with today's society

[Lex]

Well, that was interesting.

I was disappointed that no one, especially not Tiffany, pointed out Omarosa's major mistake in not using their celebrity as a key element in their marketing, and leveraging their contacts as a key element in their fund raising. In her defense (just this once) I wonder if this was left-over from previous Apprentice rules where using existing non-show contacts was not permitted. Though her decision was not to ignore contacts, but to downplay their celebrity. Seems so unlike her.

I agree with Dan, Tiffany needed to step up, defend herself by going on the attack with Omarosa it was her only hope of saving herself. As soon as she said she respected Omarosa she was done.

I'll be interested in seeing in Gene's approach of striking off on his own continues. This time he impressed the team and it worked miracles. If that continues, he'll be an asset. If it flops, I wonder if a PM would call him out for not working with the team.

All in all, I think this is looking like an interesting season. Though I wish Omarosa was being (or was edited as being) as professional as the bigger-name celebrities she's playing with.

I thought Trump was supposed to be some kind of buisness genius. What kind of a-hole would fire a playboy playmate on the first episode? Now any sex appeal this lame show had is gone. What a shame.

[Judicious]

Omarsa should have been fired for being such a poor project manager (aside from being such an unlikeable person0. Keeping her around is obviously a cheesy effort to keep people wathing while they hope she gets fired. I've seen enough of this trash, the only good season of this show was the first one. Adios.

[Ken]

This is the Tiffany Thread and most are still talking about Omarosa. No wonder this season's Celebrity Apprentice centers around this dominant TV personality which everyone loves to write about to express their disappointment as the most hated villain aired for entertainment purposes.

Omarosa captures 90% of all Apprentice postings and people forget she is scripted to do the biddings for Trump as his personal invitation this season. Omarosa is the MOST talked about Apprentice.... Big "O" is uber Apprentice RATINGS.
