The Apprentice Blog - Season 2

Oops - they did it again

Last year's Trumpettes Amy, Ereka, Katrina and Kristi were approached by Playboy and offered $250,000 to pose nude for the magazine. They chose, instead, to pose for FHM for free. [More Details from New York Post Online]

Given that these women all had aspirations for a CEO role in one of Donald Trump's companies, I wonder what the best business decision in this situation is. Does leveraging your sexuality to this degree get you ahead in business or does it cheapen your personal brand? 

So the questions are...
How would posing for MAXIM effect your career?

All other things being equal, who would you hire to run your company?

Okay, this isn't strictly "business"... but then again, most of this season is suffering from that issue.  Or am I completely missing the point here? 

Poll - Renovation Redeption or Repeated Rejection?

In Episode 9 Bradford Cohen, Jennifer Crisafulli, Rob Flanagan and Stacie Jones Upchurch all come back to "help".

Will this be similar to the last episode last season, or will they have an opportunity to get back into the game? Is this Trump's nod to all the feedback on his early firing decisions?

If the rumors are true the losing team will have 2 people fired, which makes me think there is an opportunity for redeption for someone.

If you could chose from all the fired candidates, who would you like to see back in the game?
