Mach 2.0

Waddling Thunder: Mach 2.0: A little creative license?

Here's what the official site says about Jennifer Massey, a contest on Donald Trump's "The Apprentice": The question shouldn't be what Jennifer brings to the table? The better question is what doesn't this stunning 29 year old have on her impressive resume? While at Harvard, Jennifer was heavily recruited by a powerful San Francisco law firm, where she now serves as a securities litigator, working with management teams from startups all the way to Fortune 500 companies. She resides in San Francisco with her husband Aron.

The problem is that very little of this is actually even remotely accurate. Let me rewrite the second part of the blurb, using information from NYLawyer: While at Harvard, Jennifer went through on-campus recruiting just like every other student, bidding blindly on firms in cities she thought she wanted to live in. She was tricked into joining a then red-hot San Francisco law firm called Brobeck, Phleger, & Harrison, which promptly collapsed under the weight of appalling mismanagement. Luckily, her job was saved by a giant British firm called Clifford Chance, which has been busily bleeding both its top partners and its money in the Californian market ever since. As a securities litigator, it's very unlikely she's worked with management teams in any real sense of the phrase. She resides in San Francisco with her husband Aron, who she sees on every second sunday, and occasionally by teleconference from the office.

JEN M WON'T STEP UP TO THE PLATE!!!

Did you notice that Jen M refused to put her name into the "PM selection hat" for the home makeover episode?

I just saw the extra footage on Yahoo (Brdrm Cut Short -- extened seen). Kevin asks Jen M to throw her name into the cup b/c the dog wash task she led was only a one day task (and Elizabeth had just led the 3 day task). But Jen M says she thinks it's too soon and would prefer to see Kevin lead. So Kevin puts everyone else's name into the cup and Jen M picks Raj's name.

Geeze, she's really starting to disappoint.

Yahoo Sam's Fan

Sam Solovey on Jennifer M in Episode 9

Jennifer M. is Crafty, Brutal, and Wicked: "Raj takes advice from Jennifer M. on who he should bring into the boardroom. Jennifer M. is crafy as she points the finger at Ivana and cultivates a positive relationship with Raj in order to protect herself. Jennifer M. is brutal with her comments and in a side interview says that she will stop at nothing in the boardroom. She has shown this wicked side in previous weeks."

Ms. Heidi

Jennifer M. Knows How to Play the Game

Read Heidi's commentary at:
http://www.nbc.com/nbc/The_Apprentice_2/heidis_commentary/index.shtml

Heidi on Jennifer M. in Episode 9: "The only good thing I will say about you is that you know how to play the game. Of course you are going to tell Raj that you have his back. I just can’t believe he was so stupid as not to see through your manipulative ways. Then again, we all know how Raj is effected by women. Going off on Ivana this week made you look like such a jackass. You mention how useless she is, yet the most influential people in the boardroom said she worked extremely hard. I have said in the past that you are extremely professional; however, in this episode you proved me wrong."

she is so calculating. she is brutally attractive.

dave

jennifer m. is utterly useless. gotta love the tumor analogy. she needs to get fired soon, so she can appear on maxim. that's the only place i want to see her.

I should win because:
"I really want the job. I have my training under my belt after being an attorney for five years, and I'm ready to get into the business world." -as told to Entertainment Weekly

1. "I really want the job" is not a good reason. In fact, it's not really a reason since it's redundant to the fact that you are on the show. What a dumb response.

2. "I have my training under my belt after being an attorney for five years..." In other words, I have 5 years of experience in law, and 0 years in business. Therefore I am qualified to be a part of Trump's business. Idiot.

3. "... and I'm ready to get into the business world." ..Since I've never been in it. Trump isn't looking for an intern, you should have some business experience. Dumbass.

echo

Girl needs to do something about her black roots. I don't have any problem with dying your hair, but if you want to be a fake blonde and you're gonna be on tv, you should really try not to show your roots so bad.

Also, she wears ALOT of makeup and she needs it. That towel scene was quite a shocker for me. I didn't realize how much upkeep she needed to look as good as she does. In retrospect, given how she really looks, she should probably stay in hollywood and get a job as a makeup artist. Cause she works some serious magic on herself.

Jen M will be the Apprentice simply 'coz she doesn't have a personal website while Yahoo! DID create one for each of the other candidates! Check it out! Thanks to Andy Litinsky as he's so smart to unveil the truth!

The Pyne Honor Prize - Princeton's highest award for undergraduates: http://etc.princeton.edu/CampusWWW/Companion/pyne_honor_prize.html
The Pyne Honor Prize, established in 1921 by Mrs. May Taylor Moulton Hanrahan and named for her cousin M. Taylor Pyne, is awarded annually by the president on Alumni Day to that member of the senior class who has most clearly manifested excellent scholarship and effective support of the best interests of the University. It is the highest general distinction conferred upon an undergraduate. Among those awarded the prize in earlier years were Charter Trustee H. Chapman Rose '28, President Robert F. Goheen '40, United States Senator Paul S. Sarbanes '54, and Jennifer Massey, one of the two finalists, who will battle it out with Kelly Perdew, for the Apprentice 2 title for the year, to be bestowed by his high honor, Trump Tower King, Donald Trump. Reflecting the larger undergraduate body and the greater diversity of its interests, the prize in recent years has sometimes been shared by two or three seniors. Howard W. Bell, Jr. '70 was the first black to receive the prize, and Marsha H. Levy '73, the first woman.

http://www.cliffordchance.com/search/default.aspx?LangID=UK&querystring=jennifer+massey&category=2 Jennifer Massey, whose title is a lawyer and not an attorney, works for Clifford Chance LLP at its Palo Alt office.
http://www.cliffordchance.com/careers/locations/roleinlocation.aspx? Country=USA&RolePosition=lawyers

JENNIFER M.’S BIOGRAPHY IN JENNIFER MASSEY’S OWN WORDS:

Jennifer Massey, 30, was born in Lexington, Kentucky and raised in Savannah, Georgia.

After graduating from The Savannah Country Day School, Jennifer headed north to attend Princeton University, one of the top universities in the world.

Jennifer graduated from Princeton in 1996, magna cum laude, with a degree in English. Jennifer’s academic achievement earned her induction into the Phi Beta Kappa honors society. Additionally, Jennifer also received a Creative Writing certificate from Princeton 's Creative Writing Department, where she participated in workshops led by such authors as Peter Carey, Russell Banks and Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist Joyce Carol Oates. In her senior year, Jennifer was nominated by the English Department for the M. Taylor Pyne Prize, Princeton 's highest general award for undergraduates.

In addition to her academic and creative pursuits, Jennifer also served as a member of Princeton's Honor Committee, participated on the Princeton Mock Trial Team (winning the Ivy League Championship) and served as President of Kappa Alpha Theta, an organization of over 100 Princeton women.

After graduating from Princeton, Jennifer attended Harvard Law School. She was a member of the Environmental Law Review and a participant in a mock trial program for Boston public school children. During the summers, Jennifer worked as an associate for law firms in Boston and San Francisco. In her final year of law school, Jennifer wrote a thesis on the topic of corporate legal ethics under the advisement of Harvard Law School Professor Alan Dershowitz. Jennifer graduated from Harvard in June of 1999.

From 1999 until 2002, Jennifer worked as a Business & Technology attorney for the San Francisco office of Brobeck, Phleger & Harrison. The firm’s clients ranged from then-red-hot dot.coms to well-established Fortune 500 companies. Jennifer served partners and clients on a variety of projects, from introductory public offerings to mergers and acquisitions. In 2001, witnessing the changing business landscape and desiring to stay on the cutting edge, Jennifer transitioned into the area of securities litigation, where she assisted her clients in complying with securities investigations, consulted with them on corporate governance issues, and defended them against class-action lawsuits.

In 2002, Jennifer continued with her work in securities litigation by joining the California branch of the world's largest law firm, Clifford Chance LLP. The rigorous training and coaching by senior lawyers at Clifford Chance paid off for Jennifer in front of Donald Trump as well as in front of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. Just two weeks after returning from taping The Apprentice, Jennifer argued a novel issue of constitutional law before the Ninth Circuit and emerged with a significant victory for her pro bono client.

Jennifer is currently in the final round of The Apprentice and is determined to emerge victorious in her pursuit of an apprenticeship with Donald Trump.

Quit spamming the internet with your resume, we all know you are an ugly and pathetic liar.

I don't feel that Jennifer M. received enough credit. She is a very educated, savvy, tough business woman. She attended the 2 most prestigious universities in the world, and yet people feel she would not be a good fit for the Trump Organization. Both Kelly and Jennifer were excellent choices for being The Apprentice. Granted, Kelly was selected - but ANY organization would be more than lucky to have Jennifer a part of it, includind The Trump organization.

Josh, Jen is a lawyer and not a business woman!

Josh, The only problem with Jennifer M. is that she did not study business and has not business experience.

She studied law and is employed as a lawyer. In fact, it was her lawyer instincts that came to the fore at the Apprentice 2 and not any business prowess.

Companies will be loath to hand over running of their business to a lawyer, even if she has been educated in law at Princeton and Harvard. By the way, she studied english literature at Princeton, which again is not the suitable background for a business career.

Shouting matches, scoring debating points, and debunking and rebuking your friends, family members, and colleagues might make Jennifer M. a brillian lawyer but not even an ordinary business woman.

look man, you can go to harvard for zoology, princeton for english, yale for art, oxford for latin. you can have PhDs in all of them. who the hell cares. jenn has ZERO years business experience, her statement says she's now ready to get into business, meaning Trump's business would be her FIRST time working in a business environment. this is the apprentice -- people who need guidance and honing in their business skills. jenn needs to be on "the intern" like that other guy suggested. she has no freaking idea what business is like, except through Donald's book. com'on now. everyone else on the show had some previous business experience. startups, mbas, bridal shops, even andy the 23 year old had a business. how many businesses did jen work for? zero. is a law firm a business? maybe. didn't her first one go bankrupt anyway?

you can out-bitch someone on national tv, and it'll look very impressive, but that's not what business is about. that's what being a lawyer or bitch is about. jenn should be on jerry springer instead. what kind of idiot is fooled into thinking that moving to san francisco is a risk? how risky is it to go to harvard and princeton? how risky is having a job at a law firm? clearly she doesn't even know the meaning of risk, let alone business risks.

ANY man who watches the show can tell you that he's more interested in jenn's chest than her "business" skills. in fact, there was little else to pay attention to, since there were no skills, just her looks (which wasn't even all that). the fact that she relies so heavily on her appearance, even dying her head blonde, should tell you that she doesn't really have what it takes. does anyone think that's interesting that the male levi's president gave so much credit to jenn, when she did nothing? and when she was doing something, those two genworth women saw right through her and knew right away that jenn had no idea what to do?

the fact that she relies so heavily on announcing to everyone her degrees makes them overrated. if she needs to remind people of the degrees that she holds, then those degrees suck. it's an embarassment to the institutions. kelly wasn't waving his diplomas around -- everyone knew and saw that he was solid. seriously, who cares you were president of your sorority. this isn't a college application, it's a REAL job.

women around the world who watch jenn were probably rooting for her. that's understandable to want someone who's like you to make it big. but just because jen didn't win doesn't mean it's impossible for women to get a job. it doesn't necessarily mean there's a glass ceiling. it means that jenn, as her own person, sucks. maybe if she had more business sense she could have won. but that's a big maybe. it's unfair to cry inequality -- that's not what happened here. several women, including donald's caroyln vouched for kelly and preferred him over jenn. these are businesswomen who know what it takes. if donald didn't poll what women thought, then he would probably be facing a lot of angry women right now. but everyone knows now that women and men alike say that jenn sucks. if you are a woman and are offended by what i say here, dont be. women are great, i have nothing against women. i'm willing to bet that most women weren't really rooting for jenn, as much as they were rooting for a woman to win.

and it's sad that jenn had to be a model for women to aspire to. i hope that america has enough sense not to weigh so much value on what jenn did on the show. if anything, she held women back. amy was a far better contestant from apprentice 1. i really dont want to see any more people like jenn who think they're businesswomen.

her personality sucks, at least more than kelly's. she kept saying that she wasn't on the show to make friends. but the truth of the matter was, no one even wanted to be her friend. the people who lived with her on the show knew her more than the national audience and they all hated her. even if jenn wanted to make a friend, she was still a loser on the show. her only hope is a few fans she has. pathetic.

jenn's style of leadership sucks too -- delegating and telling people what to do? that's excactly what a person does when they don't know how to run a business: just tell other people to do it for you. it's great game of pretend, where you get to play "boss" and other people do the real work. you can fool some people for while, it doesn't work in real life.

in the end, jenn offers very little. prestigious degrees in irrelevant topics, perhaps a good looking figure, bragging about her "risks," hated by everyone on the show, zero business experience, bitching is not even a desirable quality, people only wanted to befriend her to gain advantage in the boardroom.. the list goes on. jenn aint' all that.

Ticked Off

" look man, you can go to harvard for zoology, princeton for english, yale for art, oxford for latin. you can have PhDs in all of them. who the hell cares. jenn has ZERO years business experience, her statement says she's now ready to get into business, meaning Trump's business would be her FIRST time working in a business environment. this is the apprentice -- people who need guidance and honing in their business skills. jenn needs to be on "the intern" like that other guy suggested. she has no freaking idea what business is like, except through Donald's book. com'on now. everyone else on the show had some previous business experience. "

So what does that say about "The Apprentice" process?

Ticked Off

On the other hand, George Ross is a lawyer too. He fit in well in the Trump organisation. I think he is _MUCH_ better than Caroline.

Jennifer is smart and focused.
She is very intelligent and strong.
She was the first contestant in season two to arrive at the Trump Tower.
i think Bill Rancic slipped under the radar than anyone else in all the seasons of the apprentice. That was his smart and he won. So why is everyone saying Jenn didn't step up to the plate? Its her quiet leadership style. Moreover, everyone played the game as they perceived it would give them an advantage to either win or project themselves to the watching audience.
i have personally learnt so much from this exceptional woman and i'm glad she made it to the finals. That Kelly Perdew became the apprentice, wasn't a bad pick for Trump because the nature of the job required physical strength and as an Architect myself, i would prefer a man to do the more stressful task.
Jenn should be glad she was saved that stress. We know her now and we respect her.

  • Andy - Fired 13th PM:2 BR:3/12
    Andy"Solutions that really drive companies come from younger people." --- The Pepsi Challenge one would think the youngest would have the Edge. But not this time. Andy's debating skills were lost when it came down to street-fighting and that's why he got fired.
  • Wes - Fired 12th PM:2 BR:2/11
    Wes"The Trump organization needs someone with balance, which I have." --- In Episode 11 Wes delegated and defered too much responsibility, and when things started going wrong he sat back and waited for things to straighten themselves out instead of standing up and getting everyone back on track.
  • Maria - Fired 11th PM:1 BR:3/11
    Maria"I try to keep very positive and make sure I'm not tearing down the very people I need to get the job done"--- Maria has been at risk for quite some time now.

  • Raj - Fired 9th PM:2 BR:2/9
    Raj"It impressed me very much to see the caliber of my competition. But I'm better." >--- Raj, Raj, Raj. Chris handed you his head, and Trump pointed it out. In Episode 9, Raj need to be more cutthroat and was fired because he left himself open for it.
  • Elizabeth - Fired 8th PM:2 BR:2/8
    Elizabeth"This show seemed like it was made for me, like everything I've done prepared me for this moment." --- Elizabeth waffled her way right into the boardroom inEpisode 8. In a room full of type-A personalities she couldn't, or wouldn't, make a decision and stick with it.
