All the woman have been trim, there have been one or two slightly heavier guys, Pepi and the the lawyer who claimed to have lost 100 lbs and still needed to lose another 100lb. God forbid if they ever have a slighty round or 40ish female contestent on this show.

It maybe somewhere in another thread, but Trump is being sued for ageism by a 49 year old man. Interesting, and I wish him luck.

I'd like to think Trump plans the rewards to help the teams gain some insight to business from seasoned vets. Heff made a lot of money on his own from nothing.

That's true, but strip joints and pimps are businesses/business people too (okay, not on the level of Hugh Hefner, but still...). The whole thing left me feeling kind of icky.

Crappy reward considering that the team has mainly women and one of the two men is gay! I'm tired of Heidi being PM every week. It sucks. The team may have to salvage the next task only because everyone wants to get a chance to be the next PM. That tent thing for the losers sucks as well. Trump's bratty daughter sucks too and the PM of the other team sitting in the boardroom would have been ok if only to observe. They don't even rotate the daughter with George or Bill Rancic, or etc...Also bad editing, since when did they decide that their teams are named Arrow and Kinetic? This is the crappiest Apprentice ever!

All of them should be living in the mansion. The PM can sit in the boardroom but only as an observer. The PM of the winning team, if he/she wants to be PM again, should be PM on the next task for the losing team. That would have created better dynamics.

Absolutely agree with comments about how awful this season is!!! Hate the tent thing, the PM for the winning team staying is stupid and doesn't give the others a chance (almost as if Trump has picked Heidi as the winner already). Putting the winning PM in the boardroom could be okay, but only as an observer and only for the initial meeting with all the members of the other team and not for input. That last "reward" sucked big time. Being female, I personally would not have enjoyed being around nothing but women with very little clothes on and probably limited brain cells for a whole evening as a reward (more like a punishment). I think Trump may have jumped the shark this time.

Surely the reward wasn't as bad as the time when the ladies' team got to play ice hockey (because the guys unexpectedly sucked at the sports car design). Wasn't that when Rebecca broke her ankle?

A lot of people might object to the "reward" because it was based on pornography and objectifying women. The reward recipients consisted primarily of women. I object to it simply on those grounds.

Me too! It certainly wouldn't have been a reward for me.
