Why not have the TV viewers vote? That way it isn't all Donald's doing! That way, Omarosa would be FIRED! rolling.gif

It should be Donald, Ivanka & Donald Jr. making their assessments TOGETHER. THEN eliminating the one that isn't pulling their weight! It seems a little one sided DONALD'S way.

Sorry Jen... I disagree. The whole show is based on Donald Trump... thats why he gets to call all the shots. He's the one paying out the salary or chunk of change to the charity.

This is not "America's Apprentice". The voting would become a popularity contest just like what happened with Dancing with the Stars last season. One of the best dancers was kick off becuase she was not as popular as some of the other dancers. I'm glad the public does not get to vote.

I like the apprentice the way it is. He's the one who is going to hire one of them, and taking away his power would ruin the show.

How about several voting options just for Celebrity A. I can think of 3 separate polls.

1. Should TF's charity receive 100,000$ since she was pregnant & had morning sickness & Omarosa should have been fired.

2. The charity of the most popular celebrity receives 100,000$.

3. Give viewers a chance to donate. Whoever gives the most lets me buzz The Donald's hair. They choose whether it will be 0", 1/8", or 1/4" ! (I always wanted to visit NY).

I don't want to see another DWTS 2. Getting voters involved is just like blogs. Instead of a true vote there will always be those who vote for resons that have nothing to do with substance. For example, race, personal life, name calling, celebrity rating, top record on chart, best movie etc.

This show was conceived by Trump and Burnett. Let it stay there. I think there willl be less aggrivation from the public if Trump continues making his decision based on his experience and ratings. Let's remember this is just a reality show for entertainment purposes with charities thrown in.

I still think that DWTS, AI, and yes, Celebrity Apprentice (it's not like Trump's going to hire them to work for him, after all) should be voted on by the viewers, but the voting should be -- call in and vote for the person you think needs to go HOME. That way people can't vote strictly on a "I like this person" or "they're SO cute!" basis. IMO, all reality voted-on shows need to go to this format to make it fair.

How is that any more fair than who you think should win vote basis? It doesn't stop people from voting out Omarosia simply because they think she's a bitch, Gene Simmons because they don't like KISS, or Tito Ortiz because they're a Ken Shamrock fan. The bottom line - this is a business show. For that, I believe the expert should be the judge, jury, and executioner whether it be a regular edition or celebrity edition. And that expert is Donald Trump, not us. How many business experts out of the entire audience are there that watch this show? Not enough to have a truly accurate and fair vote.

I don't mind when someone I like makes it far or seeing someone I can't stand leave. But I think America voting takes away from that rewarding feeling. Seeing someone crumble without our help is a lot more pleasurable.

I think the whole point of the show is Donald Trump deciding on who stays and who goes. Take that away and have the viewers decide and I think it destroys the basic concept of the show. So no we shouldn't vote on who stays or goes.
nascarholly
I vote no because if the viewers were the ones who got to decide who wins, it was just end up being a popularity contest and I don't think that would be fair to a good deal of those who are on the show. I have only heard of maybe four people on the show and thats it. dry.gif dry.gif dry.gif

So far, Donald Trump seems to grade more fairly than the viewers would. smile.gif smile.gif smile.gif

God bless you and him always!!! smile.gif smile.gif smile.gif

Definately not. However this season it was appropriate add a rotating chair to allow CEO/Excetives like the Macy's Excetive and/or the Pedigree Executive (sp?) to balance out the Judges in the Tasks as well as the boardroom.This was agood move. Also there is the Trump Family Factor, Age credability etc. This works because adds crediability to the whole show. This season you have mostly famous people. TV viewer voting can be fixed and/munupulated. In my point of View Omarosa and Nely should have been fired not Tiffany or Nadia. I don't think Omarosa and nely will last much longer. Both of these candidates blew it.

I have gone the Pedigree website, where you can see both ads and vote. The Men's team's ad is far more superior and convincing. I not sure adding Lennox's voice would be a good idea because he has a British/Jamaician accent. Trace's voiceover is so Good, you can understand and appreciate the 30 second commerical.

I think it would make it more interesting if we got to vote who goes and who stays, but isnt this show pre-recorded?

This is not American Idol. Too many reality shows try & pick up other RS's concepts. BIg Brother did the same thing last year w/ America's Player. I think this concept works for AI, but not the Apprentice or Big Brother.

Yes, this show was pre-recorded in Oct.

I think it should stay with Donald doing the firing. He seems to ask the opinions of the guest executives he has and his family and then makes a decision. Whether he takes that into account or not, who knows.

I can't say I disagree with who he has voted off so far. Tiffany as Trace said is not a mean chick, so I don't think she could be ruthless and stand up to Omarosa. Nadia couldn't even answer a couple questions that Donald asked her. I'm almost positive she couldn't be a project manager. As Donald said, she may be a leader to yourself but not a leader of people.

You GO TRACE!!!! Me and the rest of your fans are behind ya 200%!!!

Cuz if the public could vote. It would be TRACE all the away from this fan.

Luv ya BIG GUY!!!!!!!!!
