Well, week 4 of the celebrity apprentice ended the same way as it has the past three weeks with Hydra winning the weekly task.  I thought Empresario with Marilu as project manager were going to get their first victory because she had a very good understanding of broadway.  I didn't think Carol or Jenny deserved to be brought back in the board room because they both seem to deliver and come through with whatever assignments they are given. 

 I've seen on earlier seasons where candidates were kicked off because they didn't get along well with their teammates, and I see this pattern with Omarosa this season, but nobody will step up to the plate and discuss this with her.  Remember she puts her pants on one leg at a time just like the rest of you.

I was shocked that Nely said Marilu should have been fired.  Marilu has demonstrated that she has been a strong competitor every week thus far where as Nely should have been fired last week.

Kudos to Hydra once again.  They seem to have a cohesive team with everyone contributing in different ways week after week.  They are clicking on all cylinders at this time.

I couldn't believe Gene Simmons put himself under the bus like he did.  Mr. Trump suggested to him that he should have considered bringing Nely back into the board room because the Kodak executives stated she talked too much.  Even though Gene decided against meeting the Pedigree executive last week, his team won the challenge.  Again, this week Gene didn't feel it was important enough to meet with Kodak's executives, but he sent two members from Empresario instead to gather information.  As project manager, Gene should have attended to ensure he understood what elements Kodak were looking for with the Mobile Printing Experience and to make sure they were both on the same page.

Even though Hydra's presentation looked terrible, they hit the mark because the sales pitch was for affordable premium ink, and they made sure the message was clearly advertised.

Empresario had a nice presentation, but they missed the mark on the main message Kodak wanted consumers to know about their product......Ricky3107

I was really surprised with the outcome of Hydra winning week two's challenge for the following reasons.  One, Hydra did not meet with the Pedigree representative to see what they were looking for in the 30 second commercial.  To me, this was a form of disrespect towards their client.  Secondly, when Ivanka entered, Gene Simmons should have acted in a more positive/outgoing manner towards her.

I'm not sure if Empresario gets it yet that the show is called Celebrity Apprentice for a reason.  Again, they chose not to use their celeb status during their commercial where as Hydra did and eventually won.  Overall, Hydra had a better product, but I wished all the members could have been involved because it looked like only three members were.  Well, until next week.

I was looking forward to another apprentice but when I found out Imanassa was going to be apart of it my enthusiasm diminished but I watched anyway. Oh well.  I'm sure many people think that having a  bad person, someone to root against, is good for ratings. Doesn't work for me. There are enough of these people in the work force, those  that you have no choice but to deal with. At least I can chose not to deal with it here. To bad, I was looking forward to seeing the celebs  but now this is at best a second choice. That may change if I hear that Imanassa gets fired. She messed up and should have been fired but it shows that if you know the right people and/or suck up to the boss you can burn others easily on your way up.

After watching the first episode last night, I thought Omarosa deserved to be the first person fired.  Since she was on a previous season, she should be well versed when it comes to the competitions.  I thought she must have participated in a task which required her to use marketing strategies when she appeared.  She was against her team using their celeb power to attract heavy hitters that would have donated $$ for charity.  If it weren't for Mary Lou reaching out to her contacts, their team would have been crushed by even a larger amount.

Kudos to Gene Simmons because he made the right call by using his network of contacts to allow his team to seal a victory.

Omarosa is like a sports team you either love or hate.  I see why she wasn't fired the first week now because this makes for good TV ratings.  Let's face it, she was the project manager and she was ultimately responsible......Ricky3107
