Aside from last nights show being the most disappointing show of 6 seasons....did anyone notice how much more relaxed Ivonka has become....and how strikingly beautiful she looked last night?
She has a brilliant future in front of her....with or without her dads help! What a star quality she possesses. Good job Ivonka!!
p.s.........could you talk to your dad about Omarosa??? I mean, really??!!

I think its extremely sad that Ivanka, a seemingly intelligent woman (or at least tries to be) felt the need to cut her God-given body with her extensive plastic surgery (the circus tits, the major nose/cheek/chin reconstruction).
One, its obvious, and two, it wasn't neccesary. We can never take her seriously now. Oh the pressures of being rich and in the limelight (puh-lease)

I like Ivonka too, i especially love her voice, she could solve world problems with
that voice! i'm hoping she uses it to help the NYC carriage horses by getting
behind the Ban.

Strikingly beautiful thanks to the plastic surgery.
Donald jr. lost of weight......poor Trump kids feeling the pressure to look a certain way because they're on tv.

its in their genes from moms side......dad obviously dont care how he looks! All of us want to look our best, and if plastic surgery IS what she did....it worked, because she is beautiful. Wish my son was available.....then again........>see me sigh>
At any rate, the children seem to be balanced, and its nice to see that although I am sure they never wanted for anything...he does expect them to work!

In my book, Ivanka is the pick of the litter...including her parents. She is intelligent, beautiful and classy.

Don Jr has lost weight. I was afraid he was ill.

I like Ivonka. She's a beautiful, smart and classy business women. She seems to get the job done without taking any bull, but very poised too. As far as her family is concern, I'm not going to talk about people that I don't know.

I like both the kids, Ivon and the son. The son turned out to be a very bright young man. I do find it ridiculous that you couldn't create a positive thread without mentioning Omarosa. I mean really, does that black woman irk you that much? How old is the other kid by Ivonka mother?

They've both been born into a pretty rarified environment. I don't know how much love and interaction they received from their father, but they've certainly had all of the best that money can buy. They both have impeccable manners, impressive vocabularies and have received outstanding educations.

That's no guarantee of success. They could have turned out to be like Paris Hilton, Brittany or any of a number of other spoiled celebrity kids. Obviously at least one of their parents, maybe both, kept them focused.

It's refreshing to see two young business professionals reaching their potential.

They both seem very nice,and yes it is refreshing to see two young people working and not living off daddy's money.

At least Ivanka has something going for her in that she does or did have natural beauty and intelligence.

she,s a babe .........

the cool calm gaze ,the quiet self assured demeanour,she also comes across as very bright (intelegent)............wow!

1 minor complaint...she,s too skinny.a couple of pounds in the right places and bingo bango bongo

just like 7 of 9 ,marks out of 10, I,d give her 1

When Donald Trump fired Carolyn, I thought, "oh great", there goes the show.

Ivanka, you are fantastic! I have never seen a woman with so much class. You are so great this season and I enjoy watching you as much as Donald Trump. You are the real deal and not daddy's little girl - total separate entity. You are strong and sharp but yet still so feminine. Most sexy combination. Wonder if Hillary knows this, to beat Barack.

Would love to watch you fire someone on Apprentice.

Ivanka and Piers let the cat out of the bag

I love Ivanka! She's so much better than Carolyn!!!

I think she is great. She is articulate, very smart. Her parents should be -and I'm assuming they are- very proud of her. She will go far in life.

It appears that the Apprentice series is lacking of ethics. Accounbility in the part of Behaviorial conduct must be a factor besides winning and losing. We need good role models.

There is documentary called "Born Rich", which Ivanka is one of quite a few people that are featured. She is the smartest and more well known then other siblings Don Jr., Eric, Tiffany and Barron.

She is so much like her father Don Sr.

I think Trace gives Ivanka "the vapors".

I subscribe to a magazine that advertises Ivana's jewelry line!!!!
Whoa...we are talkin'....
Mucho Dinero!
If Simon dropped $100,000 for a $10,000 shopping spree I don't think it is gonna go very far...
Check out some of the prices!!!! I hope he needs the tax write-off!!

ps...
note the look Trace's wife gave him when he told her he was the prize + dinner that Ivana bid and won!

Ivanka surprised me by bidding on Trace's dinner... I thought her style would be a business class, not a cowboy? style? but of course, someone mentioned it was a show of being partial...hmmmmm

On the lighter note...- I do hope the cute guy who did not get to win her company due to Simon's generous overbid, will still get his chance, that guy seemed cute and classic gentleman...hmmm who was he...seemed nice and brave to get her attention with D.Trump right there! She is one of the most intelligent and attractive girls on TV her age, nice job there by her parents and her own ability.

The cute guy had a pretty blond standing next to him. Maybe he was wanting to buy the package so he could take her shopping. Ivanka nodded her head as if she knew him.

Simon is getting married this year isn't he. Maybe the shopping spree was for his fiance.

Simon, who I don't find nearly as annoying as Piers, but I'm not sure why . . . has said time and time again that he will never marry. I just read an interview with him the other day and evidently his girlfriend agrees - does not want to marry. Not my way of life, but it seems to have worked okay for Goldie and Kurt . . .

and for Gene and Shannon as well

Ivanka's jewelry business has been doing quite well.
I am not sure if Celeb Apprentice had anything to do with that.
She seems pretty savvy on her own.
However...the don is another story... He recently opposed her application to patent her name -
Ivanka Trump for real estate purposes!
I guess dear ol' dad doesn't care whether it's all in the family or not!!
Ivanaka ended up withdrawing her application to use her name for real estate purposes and ended up only using it for her jewelry etc. businesses. The real estate part ended up being trademarked - Ivanka only!!
I guess when it comes to business the don doesn't care whether or not you are a close relative!
and HE labeled Piers ruthless??????
okay...

From what I've seen in the media Ivanka is doing a great job of branding herself.

No trashy headlines, top end products in her jewelry business, intriguing - yet classy - photo layouts and appearances at all of the right places. She knows how to sell her image.

I'm not sure why she would want to compete with her father in the real estate business, perhaps it's a matter of scale. I see her being very successful in building her brand through high end day spas and luxury amenities rather than real estate, but she may be more ambitious than that.

As far as "The Donald" goes, it's all about ego. I doubt that he's ready to share "the name" with anyone, including his own children. He seems to marry women who become known only by their first name!

Speaking of first names like Ivanka...
Trump is promoting a new scripted "soap" called "Trump Towers"
Is that sorta like the Tower of Terror?
Seriously...I wonder if all the so-called "residents" will go by first names only as well...
Ivana, Melania etc.???????
Here we go ....again!

They could pay tribute to one of Trump's favorite people with a character named "Obnoxia".

Ivanka rocks. I love the way she addressed Piers' ruthlessness and correctly pointed it out as a flaw.
Not only for ethics, but for shear self-interest, it is in a businessman's best interest to behave ethically.
Piers may have won the apprentice, but now he has shown the WHOLE WORLD that he is a bastard. I for one, would never do any business with him whatsoever, even if he had a product superior to Trace's.

DONALD needs to wake up and smell the integrity of IVANKA'S COFFEE.

IVANKA will transcend her father as a businessperson because of her ethics. Who wants to do business with backstabbers?

It appears Ivanka's heart may be the most valuable "commodity" she has, even greater than her beauty and her intelligence.

DONALD'S FLAW - overly romantizing "ruthlessness" as a strength. He said Piers was not "good", but he was "Smart". How smart can Piers be if he has now informed the entire world that he is an #$#$?. On the other hand, I do admire that Donald handled the firing of many of the celebrities with kindness and humanity, so I know that Donald is not yet fully lost to the dark side.

DONALD is so keen on emphasizing strength and big thinking and assertiveness in business, which of course are very important, yet he has taken it too far. THE DONALD didn't reprimand Piers for sabotage. A successful businessman doesn't engage in "sabotage" - he doesn't need to.

And while I'm extolling Ivanka's virtues - I want to address the criticism she has received on this board
regarding her "body work".

Most of us wear clothes each day. Some of us put on make up. Some of us get tattooes. Most of us get hair cuts. Some of us get hair coloring. Some of us shave. Some of us get cosmetic surgery. Some of us get pierced, and wear jewelry through the piercings.

Is there a clear cut line as to whether or not any of these things is any more "ethical" than any other?
If there is such a line, doesn't it fall mostly into the domain of personal choice?

My opinion: the far more egregious fowl is the JUDGEMENT and DENIGRATION of those who do not happen to adhere to whereever you personally draw the line.

My opinion: if you have issues with Ivanka's bodywork, it most likely suggests you have some disliking of yourself and your own life, and you are handling it by taking it out on Ivanka to try to somehow make yourself feel better.

The only thing more egregious than judging Ivanka is if you write a self-righteous, pious Forum post such as this one.

In reply to your comment about "Obnoxia"....
I am almost certain the don would not let that person
move into Trump Towers ever ever again!
If he would relent, and do so...I have a feeling any
of the other residents would start an uprising!
Besides...this particular person is too busy assessing
the dental needs of other people...ah...I mean nations!

Somehow I'm having trouble wrapping my head around the concept of a reality show based on Trump Towers. Hmmm . . . Trump . . . Reality . . . seems like an oxymoron.

Seriously, how could any of us "commoners" relate to anyone living in a place where the least desirable unit starts at a million bucks. I think they'll have a hard time finding a character who is relatable for me.

As for the "obnoxia" character; they could have her returning from a hard day of mentoring and lecturing on empowerment only to have a large chip of paint fall on her. They could call in the Jaws of Life to extricate her and rush her immediately to her lawer's office to begin working out the details of the settlement.

Ivanka won't be one of the residents of Trump Tower since she already has a $1.5 million dollar apt. of her own! However... even with her name, looks and fabulous apt. it seems she didn't even make a close call as 14th seed in the "society slapdown".
Springtime 2008 in NYC is Charity Ball time...Ivanka dressed to the nines forgot her tickets for the Frick Ball. What does it matter anyhow? She probably would have gotten in for free no matter whether she had a ticket or not!

Share your opinions on Ivanka in this thread. What does she bring to the show?

I am extremely still in lust with IVANKA (the person who originally began this topic spelled her name wrong IVONKA...brilliant man) and didn't even realize how much I missed seeing her angelic beautiful face after a whole year...I'm smitten with her and can't help it. Everything about her is perfection...her beautiful eyes, cute nose, gorgeous blonde hair, and the best of all...her sweet sexy lips and wonderful smile...she is my DREAM GIRL!!! When she came walking down the sidewalk and up to the cupcake truck all I could think was,"THIS IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL GIRL IN NEW YORK CITY!" She has all the other women on CELEBRITY APPRENTICE beat...even the PLAYBOY chick. I didn't really see her on the t.v. ads for the show and was wondering if she was going to be on this season for CELEBRITY APPRENTICE...I was scared thinking she might not be back this year since I didn't see her on the t.v. spots because I loved last years CELEBRITY APPRENTICE and it just wouldn't be the same without her and I'm not sure I would have enjoyed the show without her on it. I not only enjoy her beauty but she has a great personality and seems to be very intelligent and cool. She should be an actress and do feature films...I would go see her in any movie for sure...she has the face of an ANGEL....and when she smiles my heart goes pitter patter. I also love the sexy sultry sound of her voice when she speaks...I get weak in the knees whenever I see her and hear her talk on t.v. I can't help it.

She is one beautiful woman and very intelligent. I love watching her.

OMG
do you think they would be on a television show without daddys money?
Please......

They need to go to the Unversity of Hard Knocks and see how they do there!

Does anyone know the designer of Ivanka's suit that she wore in the Wedding Dress Episode?

I wish I personally knew Ivanka Trump. She seems to be an ultra-refined woman.

I dont know if it is just us but as my husband and I were watching the apprentice we noticed when Ivanka went to visit Clints team it looked like she had a bruise on her face her right cheek. When I went to look at it in the board room she always had her hair covering it. Did anyone else notice this?

She's awesome. I wonder if there are any plans for her doing a show later?

Ivanka is a typical "rich kid" who is trailing on Daddy's coat tails..... She may be pretty and intelligent, but she's nothing extraordinary.

In tonight's episode, she really got under my last nerve when she said "if I was thrown under the bus, my dad would ask why I let myself be in front of the bus". Then, there was her little hissy fit about the jewelry and her "mad" look about it (wherein she merely looked like a spoiled child waiting for Daddy to yell at the bad people for her!)

She graduated Wharton Business School and immediately got a job in The Trump Organization. Never had to work her way up or struggle to "make it". Nope... walked out of school and into a cushy, high powered job just like that. She hasn't a clue what it's like to have to EARN anything. Just like when she wanted to be a model.... Donald opened a modeling agency so she could be a model. Now, if she had the "it" factor to be a model, she wouldn't have needed daddy to open a modeling agency so she could be one.

I noticed how Trump and the rest of the board room seemed to think that Team KOTU did a disservice to Ivanka by not selling some of her pieces of jewelry, thus making her look bad. However, Team ATHENA had to literally get on their hands and knees and literally beg (almost a grovel) donors to 'up' their bids. And that doesn't make Ivanka's jewelry look bad? That celebrities would have to get on their hands and knees and beg for people to buy the jewelry?

Atleast they were bidding on the jewelry. On hands and knees asking for bigger donations is not begging for an opening bid. Annie worked the room very well, calling people by name a putting them on the spot. Annie didn't press them to purchase any other jewelry, she only went back to them if they were out bidded on tha previous piece. So, no matter what you think of Annie she showed what she's made of by bringing in the largest amount ever on the show for a single task. KOTO should have tried to move the piece again after Joan Rivers came out to save Clint's sorry butt. It did not help that Athena had more people bidding. Friends that hopped on a plane and came to help for charity.

Ivanka is a pretty good younger woman's role model...would like to see her more involved in the tasks and showing off her biz skills.

you my friend continue to live with your own made up rules. there's no such thing as an "it" factor to be a model -> i can goto any high school, college, or beach and find plenty of models. just like in the working world - there isn't going to be a bill gates walking out of harvard everyday and trust me working your way to the top is just dumb/impossible. it's like telling a gifted child to stay several grades behind because they have to EARN their way to graduation. don't get me wrong i do value hard work but it's just the way it is. i mean if i'd built an empire i'd want my kids to inherit it -> the good stuff

No... at any HS, college or beach, you'll see many "pretty" girls.... out of the hundreds you see, maybe 1 will have what it takes to actually be a model. Being a model is much more than just standing around and smiling. If IT was able to actually BE a model, she wouldn't have needed Big Daddy to open a modeling agency so she could be one. There are many, many upscale modeling agencies in NYC that she could have worked through. Why not submit to those? Or did she and she was never called in for an interview? Why else would DT open a modeling agency? (other than what a comedian said about him opening a modeling agency so he could get a date)

I never said there was anything wrong with DT giving IT a job out of school --- my point is that IT makes it seem that she is this extraordinary businesswoman when she in nothing more than the child of a child of a successful businessman who was a chld of a very ingenius barber (and, believe me, if DT wasn't the "lucky sperm" to be born to Fred Trump, he wouldn't have gotten very far)

how fascinating? what exactly besides being beautiful does it take to be a model? what? they have to do drugs to look the part. starve themselves, act snobby and sleep with whom they're told to? seriously modeling is a subjective part - there isn't one type of model. anyone can be a model for the right part! i can go out and higher my own models if i wanted and i just defined the rules to what a model should be. u seen rap videos those "models" fit their part?

She seems like a very smart woman. Very articulate. To anyone who rags on her for getting any help from her dad get real. Which one of you wouldn't accept help from your dad?

As for her being a model, yes, she is tall, slim and pretty. That is what models tend to be.
