I could not believe Melissa, she acted like a 5 yr. old throwing a temper tantrom what a baby! grow up Melissa and cut the apron Strings to your mother, grow up!You're old enough, your mother acted like a complete jerk on the show. Joan isn't any better than her spoiled daughter the bit**! Melissa deserved to be fired! and good riddens to Joan Rivers! her face is so ugly to much surgery, didn't do her a bit of good, she's still ugly! The Apprentice needs to go back to he original show take people off the streets and use their tallents, People need jobs, Mr. Trump! NO MORE Celebrity Appentice, boring!

White trash, look in the mirror Joan & Melissa! Melissa GROW UP!!, you're white trash and more, your mother is a ugly duckling to much platic surgery! Mad her face worse. Don't come back to Celebrity Apprentice Joan & Melissa EVERYONE Hates You!

What an exhibition of talentless high jinks...Joan and Melissa Rivers acted like spoiled brats with mouths belonging elsewhere than in front of a TV camera. They were outrageous to everyone from the first show. Hurray for Annie Duke and for "Poker Players" everywhere. Shame, shame, shame!!!

Well, well, well, It is hard to read personal critisisms regarding the River's appeareance, rather than analizing how the episode's game was played. Most Americans love Joan and Melissa Rivers and that is the main reason the "peacock network" retained them thsi season. I think it was a bad move from Donald to fire Melissa, in particular when we can see Donald's infatuation with Brandi. I am glad there will be better shows competing against the Apprentice this comming Sunday.

How couldn't Donald see that Melissa was being framed by the awful woman, Anne. I wouldn't trust her in a room full of nuns. Melissa pegged it and so did Joan. I hope Joan comes back and whips Anne's butt. She deserves to fall right on her face. She takes all the credit for tasks in the boardroom but when she failed yesterday, I didn't see her or blondie say that Anne was at fault. Own up to your mistakes.

A loyal viewer of the Apprentice programs from the very beginning, I have strong respect and admiration for Donald Trump as a person, business mogul, and television personality. I nearly always agree with his decisions regarding controversial issues and consider him a role model in the way he conducts himself in the most trying situations. Last night's Celebrity Apprentice episode was no different. Certainly confronted with a difficult situation involving more-than-complex personality conflicts, Donald Trump again exhibited professionalism and well-considered decision making abilities. What I don't understand is the "un-Trump-like" behaviors of Joan Rivers and her daughter Melissa. Childlike behavior does not adequately characterize their actions--which were totally "out of the ball park". I am shocked and deeply disappointed in Joan and Melissa Rivers' actions and their lack of respect for others (and ultimately themselves).

I didn't realize that whoever was to be the winner of celebrity Apprentice was the one who could bring in the most bucks? Why have the game at all?

Trump appears to be so smitten (and perhaps hopeful)with Brande that it was blatantly obvious he didn't want to see her go. He is a typical man keeping the pretty girl at all costs.

It really made my opinion of him go down the drain. The lame excuse of keeping Brande and Annie simply because of the money they can bring in being more than Melissa's is insulting.

Annie truly deserves to stay and actually win the wntire thing as she has outplayed them all but Brande is hardly up to either Annie or melissa when it comes to business. To keep her in merely because she has richer more generous "friends" and because Trump appears to have a "fondness" for her ..is a joke.

I am shocked and horrified at Joan River's, wicked, ugly, name calling, childish temper tantrum behavior on the show. She has no boundries or conscience on what she says to and about people. Her spoiled incompetent equally childish and prone to temper tantrums daughter is not any better. "The apple doesn't fall far from the tree" applys here to Melissa. I am so glad that Melissa and Joan left the show last program. If they were to continue to be on I was going to stop watching. Their behavior was very distrubing and upsetting. I would not see a performance of Joan Rivers if someone paid me. I used to think she as very funny, now she is just ugly.

The Right Guard executives criticized Clint Black's team for excluding David Lee in a Knicks uniform. Their reasoning that he is not well known around the country is accurate.However, you need to know the rules, if you are going to be the referee.

I am amazed that neither representatives of a major advertiser

nor anyone from the Celebnrity Apprentice knew that NBA licensing agreements prohibit players to be shown in their uniform in a commercial or print ad, unless approved by the league. Considering this program originated from the NBA STORE

and was taped several months ago, this error should have been caught and addressed.

you can build a popular show episode around an individual product, the product is gonna do well---short term at least, for sure.

Trump has fashioned a type of show where this is quite possible to do again and again with different things. Smart Donald? Of course. Gosh only knows what the product makers pay for these opportunities.

HAHAHAHAHA, I only watch the board room scenes of the apprentice because they are usually so completely f'img hilarious. What usually influences my buying decisions are price first and then maybe some brand loyalty on key products

I am more likely to try foods that I see on Top Chef or buy cookbooks of TV chefs that I watch though.
