Joan & Melissa Rivers Storm Off 'Celebrity Apprentice'

I laugh at these two every week. Mother and daughter to much alike. Melissa deserved to get canned two weeks ago. All she did was sit at her computer and whine... and Joan is no team player, to leave her team hanging like that was a shame. Her daughter SHOULD be a big enough girl to take it without mommmy running her mouth making them both look childish. Annie Duke is more woman than either of them and alot more mature. Annie will win this season hands down.

Annie Duke is a man in woman's clothing. She's only number 5 or 6 on the women's poker tour with earnings of $1,500,000 or so. She's chump change compared to these real celebrities. And she divorced her husband and lives with her boyfriend. Great role model for '4 kids'. And she claims she gives a great '****job'? Who'd want one from her, she's all teeth. Gross.

Annie is an arrogant, conniving, manipulative, two-faced egomaniac with no scruples. She should have been fired, especially since she took over the whole project, then bragged about how she did everything (before they found out they lost), and then turned around and pretended to be burdened by all the work she "was tasked with". Doesn't Donald Trump watch the tapes of what goes on outside of the boardroom??

The best part of last nite's episode was Jesse James telling Clint Black off. That was awesome!! Everything he said was right on the money. Jesse James is the smartest, most creative, most talented one on that show and if he doesn't win, Donald Trump is just a foolish has-been.

ummm - I am surprised and at a lot of the comments. I don’t like Melissa - and I think a lot of people feel the same way - but let’s face it - she got screwed. Either Annie or Brande (my vote is Brande - she didn’t do her job) should have gone. However, Melissa’s and Joan’s behavior was (entertaining but) outrageous!
WHAT DID The Donald HAVE ON HIS NOTE?? It seemed to change the mind of the other guy.
Last - Clint Black is getting a bad rap. He did ask for input - and he got it! PLUS he used it - perhaps not 100% - but it was obviously was on mark since they WON! Jesse was ridiculous! You don’t sit there and pout and call someone names (like stupid) because they don’t take all of what you consider - perfect suggestions. He is far from perfect - and he has the personality of a wet dish rag… and the temperment of a 5 year old.

Just my thoughts.

Watching Annie Duke is like watching the mean girls in junior high. She is a manipulative, two-faced back stabber.

Annie and Brandie couldn't be mature enough to really consider Melissa's ideas (and Melissa made her viral video a success, so they should have taken her seriously). Annie and Brandie made me ashamed to be a professional woman, because they couldn't rise above junior high pettiness to be professional and work with Melissa. I would have been frustrated if I were Melissa, and it's hard to see a snake like Annie win with her manipulative tactics (ie, if it's great, she takes credit; if it's not great, she passes the buck).

I'd never heard of Annie Duke before, but to me she is a miserable human being in dire need of some help.

Annie Duke is the only one with any brains; she is playing another poker game and winning.
After all this is a game! She should win.

Joan Rivers comments were shocking and she should be rebuked for them by saying she didn't want to insult Hitler (ref Annie).Is it because the is Jewish she can say stuff like that? Mel Gibson move over. I hated Joan, and her daughter before but she is showing such wickedness with her comments and to Brandi as well calling her a stupid blonde. Annie is a cad but Joan and daughter are just mean and foul.

seriously.... the rivers women call poker players white trash? wait till she watches the replay of last night..... who's the white trash now? those women are obnoxious.... but annie is no saint... but she plays the game well and is probably the strongest player left.... Jesse looked like an ass last night.... i cant stand clint.... but last night he was at least cordial.... these guys need to realize it's a 'game' and not take things so personal... get the ego's out of the way... if I hear anyone else say "...This is what I DO you should listen to me... i'm the expert..." i'm gonna puke. They ALL become MASTER Marketing guru's all of a sudden... lol.. funny.

Melissa and Clint should have been fired long ago,--- and, what exactly has Joan added to the show lately? The only reason Trump kept them on was to add drama to the show- keep it interesting so viewers would keep tuning in.

Trump knew he would lose Joan when he fired Melissa, and he was not ready to lose the drama queens till last night when they became too much of a negative drag on the show.

@Mark.. get your Duke facts straight. She has 2 WSOP bracelets, and has a career tournament earnings of over $3.6 million (just tournaments). She also attended Columbia. She's no chump change.

Melissa, however, is a chump. A fat mouthed, coat tail riding chump. She has no real talent, she's simply her mothers daughter. She's a whinny little spoiled brat.

Annie Duke is mean and is playing a dishonest game.
She said herself that her talent of bringing in the most money would win her the show, so why stoop to such dishonesty.
I found this very disturbing as I recently had such dishonesty pulled on me in the work place by my boss and it has cost me a break-down & my job of 27 yrs in & she used my stepdaughter to pull off such antics..

Shame on you Annie Duke...I have no respect for you..

Glad to see both Rivers plastic women gone. Annie needs to go too. She is nothing more that a white Amarosa with less class.

The only thing she is going to blow is winning this show.

They are not playing for their charity, they are just making money for NBC with the advertisements. $20,000.00 for a charity is maybe a 15 second commercial worth of money at best.

The best player of this game has always been Jessie. He will win if dose not get stuck with Rodman and Green when they come back to "help" the last 2 players.

I think the best player that ever played this game was never given a chance and that was Troy from the very first season.

That was painful to watch last night-Maybe the worse episode of the apprentice ever /the only reason to watch the show last night was for Trump’s Daughter-

she might have more brains than the entire cast put together.

One thing for sure you can’t offend Clint Black “Wow” Rodman in his face nothing

Joan Rivers was all over him in the board room-nothing

Hershel Walker was ready to cut him up and put him in that chicken dish!!!

JJ telling him to f-off "nothing"

Those country singers are tough!

Jerry Springer, move over.

Annie is not a white Amarosa but a female Piers (Who cares how you spell these names?) . . . raising money won him the day too and his lousy personality didn't hurt him either.

Clint started out trying to follow in Trace's footsteps but he lacks the class to pull it off.

Until last night, Jesse was actually more like Trace. However, his meltdown will be his undoing. He's fortunate that his team won because if they hadn't, Joan would have truthfully pointed out that he stopped helping out early on. His lack of teamwork might have gotten him fired rather than Clint.

If Trump had played by his own rules, Brande would have been fired. Clearly how you play the game is not as important as fund-raising. Fund-raising had NOTHING to do with last night's task. Typically the losing project manager goes unless there is a STRONG reason to fire someone else. Trump is undermining the show by basically making the projects immaterial. Brande did nothing but turn everything over to Annie and block out Melissa. She IS a dupe for Annie, but Trump basically told Brande to fight for her survival and then when she took the cue, saved her. Annie didn't stab Melissa in the back, Trump did. The other judge was all set to dump Brande until the helped her and then passed that note.

Annie played the game expertly. Her strength is fund-raising. That a woman unknown outside of gamblers can raise so much more money than better-known celbs says volumes about our world. But fund-raising wasn't a factor last night. Annie expertly used both Brande and Melissa to position herself in the middle. Either Brande would be fired for her lack of leadership or Melissa would be fired for her emotional meltdown and lower fund-raising.

I always sort of liked Joan and had no opinion on her daughter. Just as last year's show raised people's awareness and opinion concerning Trace, this year's show revealed the real River's women. Joan would have been a front-running had Melissa not been part of the show. Melissa would have been a strong contender had she not been cut off at the emotional knees by Annie.

Both Rivers' women made the show run like Springer . . . "great" TV but terrible players. Their loyalty was never with the game or their team. Please Joan, stay gone.

Annie will win for the same reason as Piers. However, there is no Trace this year to root for.

All the players left have their whiney celebrity snobbery on display in this show. I like Melissa Rivers, but not her mother much. Joan should stay and win. She has a good chance. Annie is Piers Morgan in Drag. A bad conniving woman, but what you expect on this show? This show has some second rate celebs and is not a friendly setting like Dancing with the Stars. Having said that Natalie Gulbis should never have gone on this junk and the same with Jenny Finch last year. They aren't fit for it and too good for the format. Jessie James is a loser. Clint Black is self conceited Brandie is a slut, hopefully I can say that. Should have just brought on Jenna Jameson. I think the only one who can win is Clint once Joan left, if she left. Annie may win because she is a mean vicious woman, I think Clint might end up doing better, I see the finals between Clint and Brandie or Annie.

Wow vicious show! What happened to the actual Apprentice show where people with brains and experience used skills and intelligence to compete. I think Joan is a mother and she will stand by her child as any good mother would. There is no faulting them for sticking together. Its shows thier integrity for each other. Even if Melisa is a brat- she definitely did not deserve to be fired for this challenge. Brandie is a dumb bimbo and Annie is a conniving B**** - she would sell her own mother out to win. So I have more respect for Joan and Melisa. Joan is emotional and says what she feels to the persons face. She was mean to Annie but I dont feel sorry for Annie because Annie is always back biting all the contestants. Also if this competition is only about fund raising and who can raise the most money then why do the challenges that require any skills. It should be a roledex competition - who can call the richest people and raise money. That bit there makes the show lose its charm. It is no longer a fair or equal game. It is only who you know and not a team effort or talent competition. Trump is making this into a ridiculous springer show and losing all objectivity. I guess now its a show for white trash. Sad to see these so called celebrities stoop to such low levels and backstab to raise money for GOOD causes. How hypocritical!

Poker players and blood money? Hilter? A dumb blonde comment? Unreal.........

I lost so much respect for Joan Rivers and her 12 year old daughter last night. I believe they both have skipped there sessions with the psychiatrist while being on the show.

Joan is simply not funny anymore.

Her daughter is a complete idiot.

Were the people supporting the Rivers' watching the same episode I was? Because what I saw was an embarassment to female executives and women in general. Regardless of whether it was a raw deal or not, the fact of the matter is it was just business. Worst yet, it wasn't even real business, it was seudo-business for the purposes of entertainment and raising money for charity! There is no place for name calling and hurt feelings in the corporate world! Melissa was fired by her superior, whether deservedly or not, and she reacted like an emotional child! Her behavior only furthers mysogynist views that women can't handle themselves in coporate America.

So may I personally express my gratidude to the Rivers women for setting the women's rights movement back 10yrs! Way to go! You sure have come a long way babe!

Annie and Amarosa are one in the same. I would not even say that Pierc is like Annie in drag. No those two women are from the same cloth.

I dont like the Cry Me a River combo either but she did not deserve to be off for last night.

Brandie's only claim to fame in life is that she took her clothes off for money.

From there what?

Trump has a double standard for sure. he gives a beauty pagent queen a second chance for drinking then kicks off the other one for the same thing?

Remember the money for charities is way down the list of priorities. Its advertising dollars for NBC that really matters.

Joan Rivers should have got fired the night that Anne beat her at the auction. It just wasn't her turn I guess, but it was Melissa's turn last night (ha ha). Everyone else that quits or wants to quit, Donald gets rid of them. I don't think Joan should be allowed to come back.

i think annie should be fired becuse she i a white trash she is nothing but a white trash the two rivers should stay becuse they are better the annie. annie i says that she did all the work becuse bradie gave her it thats why she is safe becuse bradie gave her work to do becuse she is a white trash. i think it should been rivers an jessie and Hershel Walker that will been a good show to see but the dom high school drama is in the game the fllower and the snake clit you are not smart annie u r a snake jessie you are a winner braney u are a dom blood becuse u are friends with miss snak i hope mr. turmp says clit annie or annie braddy your fired and the rivers come back and then there will be a good show to see that will be so kool to see the rivers come back to play in the fille 4 and two other people get fried and will be hot.

The only white trash I saw last night was Joan and Melissa. I am not saying that Melissa deserved to go but they didn't have to act like sore losers. What about when Chloe got the boot for something she did totally unrelated to the show? Even still she left the show like a lady.

Melissa is the one who acted like she was in High School.The way she acted and stormed off the show I would never want to show my face again.I love Joan always thought she was funny,and let's face it any good Mom would do the same.Melissa you were never anybody,your still a nobody,and after that tantrum you really have alot of growing up to do.

melissa rivers was a disgrace to the show last night. the epitome of a spoiled brat with a foul mouth. she gave the show the most unprofessional, degrading exit ever seen. hope she watches herself and learns. do not want to ever see her again.

Celebrity Apprentice is bound to be filled with spoiled brats, strutting their sense of entitlement. The clue to that is the Celebrity in the name. Some are nicer then others…Jesse, Herschel, Natalie and Tionne have been examples of that. But the ones we watch are the ones that make it more fun…the bad boys and girls.
Annie is a poker player…come on, she earns a living deceiving others and takes their money. Nothing else matters…she could be a Rhoads Scholar, but for Celebrity Apprentice she was added to the cast because she is a poker player. I don’t like her…she is deceptive, manipulative, conniving and frankly a bad person (from what I have seen on the show). Brandee is a beautiful woman who posed nude…once again that is what got her on the show and that is what is keeping her on the show.
Melissa has spent her entire life as a celebrity…she has probably the biggest sense of entitlement of all the cast. And Joan is a mother first. I was disappointed at Melissa’s behavior last night. It was a bit childish, but no surprise since that is probably the first time she has been told no.
Clint is getting better…I think he did well last night and am not so sure he deserved all of Jesse’s venom.
I love Jesse…and didn’t think I would. He has been a wonderful surprise this season. I would love to see him win, but there just doesn’t see to be any way Annie will let that happen. I will be anxious to see who she has to devour in the finale.
I guess that Celebrity Apprentice is about raising money…nothing else. So for all future contestants…start lining the funds up now. It seems to be the thing that keeps you in the game. Oh and remember it is just a game, and great exposure…oh yea, and you get to give money to charity.

Hilariously intelligent commentary about Joan Rivers and DonalT Trump. Please, if you're going to be snarky, at least learn how to spell Donald first.

Wow the Plastic Suregeon's dream have bitten the dust last night. How classeless was the behavior of Joan & Me-lissa.

Annie isn't responsible for melissa getting fired she did that all on her own. Melissa is the type of insecure woman that hangs herself by being paranoid. The only thing Annie had to do was just sit back and wait for Melissa to launch..It was a beauiful thing to see.

Just a note to Joan & Melissa if you keep up going under the knife you will begin to look more and more like Howard the Duck

One down another to go. Poor immature little Melissa Rivers. Now she and her mom can go and get more plastic surgery! Way to go Donny!

This is only a game and it's for charity, no less. Some of these celebs NEED to get over themselves. Annie (who is not really a celebrity) is deplorable. She is so conniving. I didn't like her from the first minute. Melissa has her own faults, but I did feel bad for her. It's not easy being so undermined and Annie knows how to play people. She's the queen of passive aggresiveness. Sadly, Annie is playing for "Annie" rather for charity. She has only put herself on the line once (I believe) as project manager. She is into preserving herself and winning the game no matter what it takes. That may fly in the poker world, but in the real world, she looks mean and two-faced. I think Joan said it best when she reminded her that she was "a poker player".

I am still pissed off at the treatment Tom Green received.

Brande is just hot and ussually sweet (although a bit passive aggressive) in books she can do no wrong. :-)

Way to go Donald! You must love it.
I actually love Joan Rivers and she always entertains. When you get someone on her age and she cuts loose, with her status, money and passion, I would get out of her way.
Melissa was cornered and it was BS.
There are people out there that have electric personalities and it would be nice if we were all so calm. Wouldn't the world be so nice.
I also have had the privlige of watching Rasheed Wallace with the Detroit Pistons. For those who don't know him, look him up! You want him on your side. You can not change the wiring in these peoples electric minds.
Go Joan! Go Melissa! Go Rasheed!!!!

LOL!!! What a couple of whiney, juvenile petty babies! I have lost all respect for them... I think they are just so used to getting their way that they could not handle a little criticizm! HAHAHAHA! That episode was the funniest thing ever! I hope they are totally embarassed by their little tantrums... it made them look like spoiled little teenagers! And the name calling! How old are they? Thirteen? Hahaha! They are SOOOO immature... Mommy having to follow her poor little baby off the show because she was fired... LOL Melissa's 8 year old son is more mature than they are... Also, to call the other women trash and whores??? Sorry Rivers girls, they showed WAY more class than you did last night!

and the winner of "celebrity apprentice" is (drum roll):

whomever trump wants it to be in consultation with the producers.

i mean, really - he's made some "off the wall" choices for "firing" just to keep the celebrity mix interesting - nothing more. (by "he" i mean "the producers.")

if reality had a base to this "reality show," the one fired last night would have been annie duke since she was the one responsible for the failed project. second choice: brande who gave up her power to duke.

and it was going to be brande, it seemed, until trump/producers decided not to have annie duke and melissa rivers team up for the following week.

and cramer? wow, jon stewart is right - you ARE an d-bag. can't even stick to your opinion of dumping brande. had to have trump "trump" your own common sense. way to go.

that being said, both melissa and joan acted as if they had just been thrown off the titanic head first. girls! it's not real! it's just a show! get a grip! long after this season of "celebrity apprentice" has been buried among a ton of other crap offered by NBC people will remember how mean spirited the both of you were last night.

and i like the both of you as cultural personalities,but the only white trash we saw last night was you two - and it pains me to say that.

also, as much as i like jesse james, he, too, seemed to wallow down in the nasty pit for too long last night. clint, surprisingly, took it all with stride and good humor - all the while discounting a lot of what jesse and joan said. team work, clint, team work - remember that.

geez, this was worse than the fight on the amazing race between luke and kisha.

Melissa could have avoided embarrassing herself if she had just stepped up as project manager.
That way she would have put herself in a power position instead of behaving like a whiny, jealous victim.
I think what really stood out was the deplorable way she treated the staff outside the boardroom.
She owes them an apology.

Let's be real peeps. Its about winning the game. I'm not a bid Duke fan, but if I were being attached by the Rivers clan, I would have thrown them under the bus too. Melissa should have been fired weeks ago but got lucky her team won. Her and her mom have some serious issues.

Wow! Was I watching a different show -- let's be fair. . . the behavior of these two grown women (Joan and Melissa Rivers) was embarrassing.
I don't know much about Annie Duke however I did read that Annie went to Columbia University where she double majored in English and psychology, and was awarded an NSF Fellowship to attend graduate school at the University of Pennsylvania to study psycholinguistics, a field within cognitive psychology. So she is much more than "just a Poker Player".
Joan was outplayed, as was Melissa and they just can't get over it. Grow up ladies, you were playing for the charity of your choice. These charities deserve to be represented by spokespersons who can handle themselves in a professional manner.

Gee .. I wonder why Melissa never had any friends in High School and I wonder why she has no friends now. Let's see what she's lacking ... personality, charm, courteousness, warmth, personality ...Can't totally blame her though .. where would she have learned those proper character traits... from her MOTHER?? not in this case.

She spent more time acting like a spoiled grade 5 girl in her diary moments. To her the show wasn't about the tasks or the charities, it was about her not having any friends -AGAIN!

And to "trump" her whiny exit tantrum, she was completely disrepectful to the employee/staff of the show - who had no reason to be the recipients of her spewing ...

My actual thoughts -- The Donald might be in financial trouble and he knew if he fired one River, the other would walk and neither one would be gracious enough to do the interviews or any other part and it is all probably written up in some very tight
legal contract which they both signed with a fake smile but now that they have probably broken those contracts... The DT can take em to court and sue their platic/botox butts.

Yes, greatest show (firing) I have seen yet. Was fist pumping and smiling all the way to bed.

Will not miss the constant Rivers bitching and wining. They need to go back under the knife to get their paranoia removed. Because seriously girls everyone is not against you, they were just tired of listening to you and your spioled brat name calling abusive nature.

Go Annie go. She should win this season hands down. And that is based on both for fund raising abilities and her business smarts. She is the only one I see who is constanly giving 200% and providing an endless amount of ideas on every task.

I think Melissa's exit was childish to the extreme; however, I do think she was screwed over, but not necessarily by Annie & Brande, but by Trump himself, who made the decision to move Jesse to the other team. It appears to me to be a decision made explicitly to throw gas on a fire. Why not move Brande or Annie to the other team? It would have made more sense. As it was, it ended up being men against women. Trump seems to be sexist. Or he just wanted to see the fireworks that he knew would be forthcoming. Melissa is talented and hardworking, but she made a big mistake running around like a chicken with its head cut off. Weird scene. But I'll miss her. Clint's GOT TO GO!!! Ick, uck! I'm for Jesse even though I'm not a big fan of tattoos.

Americans will do anything for entertainment. Do you really believe what you see? This is a t.v. show. It's all about ratings. Instead of watching this show you should take a walk around the block and do something worthwhile with your time.

Okay, not sure where all the "hate Annie" attitude is coming from. Attacking her personally, calling her "white trash," and then demeaning the very industry that donated the most money to charity - well, it baffles me. Annie is no "Ms. Personality," but at least she keeps it business. And just to set the record straight, Annie did not divorce her husband and father of her children, he knocked another chick up and left them to raise one child as opposed to four. Annie still paid the schmuck a year's worth of alimony. So before you judge a person, maybe you should get your facts straight. She's no victim, and she raises millions of dollars for charity... Anybody heard of Ante Up For Africa?

I don't understand why the ditsy playboy girl didn't work to get rid of the backstabbing poker player. She would have more of a chance of winnning against Melissa than the back stabbing poker chick dude. The poker chick is hard core.

lol wouldn't surprise me in the least if most of the *annie haters* comments are in fact written by the crazy Rivers duo

I love Joan and Melissa. They are so smart and decent in comparison to that Annie Duke garbage and that stupid stupid Brandeeee. It was clear the dumb blond was going to be fired until Donald slipped that note and said to fire Melissa instead. I guess he just wants to preserve the possibility of still being with her after his next divorce.
Not fair. Melissa was way too classy for this show. It was beneath her and her mom. These others are sleeze buckets. That Duke is pure dirt.

Joan and Melissa had every right to be mad as hell! They were unfairly kicked off by Trump and Annie and Brande cut melissa out of the task completely! I'd be angry too! Okay, so maybe they shouldn't have screamed explitives at the producers or called annie white trash - but she gambles for a living and Brande is rich and famous because she takes her clothes off for Playboy? That sounds pretty close to white trash to me...I could never respect someone that plays cards for a living or reveals their body for money, these women are trash....at least Joan and Melissa are entertainers...BUT the bottom line is that Trump is the biggest D-Bag of them all, because he should have kicked off the person that was responsible for the loss, which was PM Brande! Plain and Simple. If it wasn't celebrity apprentice, just regular apprentice, we all know Brande would have been out, but Trump, the double-standard bastard that he is, kept her cause he has a thing for her! Great, way to go, jackass!

I am dumbfounded at some of the comments. This is a GAME folks. It is designed to raise money for charities; whether you like the charity or not, it is for charity. A person's vocation does not make them white trash, Hitler or any other names that you guys are throwing around (funny though... to most of you who use the term "white trash"... how clever of you to copy Joan's comments).

Joan Rivers earned a heck of a lot of money playing casinos in Vegas. If she had that attitude toward gamblers, why did she take their money.

Whether you like the Rivers' or Annie or Brande or anyone else on the show is not the point. The yelling and throwing the "f" word around like it was the precious thing they could have said, showed the lack of class either Joan or Melissa have.

Ok, Melissa got fired, maybe she shouldn't have been. SHE was the one who was responsible for the layout and the layout is what the Right Guard folds did not like. They liked the content, which they said; but the layout was in the wrong order and THAT was Melissa's responsibility.

I've never been fired from a job but this isn't a job folks, it is a fund raising television show... how does getting booted off the show, calling anyone names make any sense? I would hope, if I am ever fired that I would have more class than Melissa had after her "firing".

For those of you who are mothers... is that the way you have reacted when any of your kids have lose their jobs? This is beyond belief.

Annie is arrogant, manipulative! The most annoying part is that she thinks she is smart! She or Brande sould have been fired. Melissa got screwed by Annie. Annie is a stupid annoying woman!

Melissa was not the most amiable person, but she was the wrong choice as the one to be fired.
Joan Rivers was the only reason for watching the show. Who wants to watch a playmate and a poker player? If one of them wins, that would be the end of the show. Donald Trump made a bad choice. He just wanted to get rid of Melissa. Not a wise move considering the circumstances. He should have let Brandy go. It would have been interesting to see Melissa and the poker player teamed up. Lost me as a viewer.

Melissa's forehead looks like a smooth grapefruit. She looks and acts ridiculous. She made a fool out of herself on Apprentice. She is no Joan Rivers............

I don't think most of the ppl above me has been watching the same show I was... but, annie was targetted by the mother and daughter.. nearly from day one.. and annie didn't react in the pure evil fashion as did melissa and joan. They can't seem to seperate personal from business.. maybe that is why they had such hard luck in show business lately.

The way they reacted was hilarious.. but sad too.. because they are obviously in need of some mental help.. their charity should have been something re: mental health.

Annie has played the game as fairly as anyone else.

For those that are attacking Annie.. chech urself.... have anyone of u ever played games before... what is the goal in a game.. uh.. could it be .. to win? Since when does playing poker.. make u a bad person? gosh that would mean .. almost everyone that ever gambled in anything is a bad person.. gzzz that means... most of the population of the free world would be labled.

I agree with the apprentice fan... would u really react that way if ur child got fired from a job? for a good reason or not? if u say yes.. u need to check urself into a mental health facility with joan.

Let's face it, Trump was not going to fire Brande. He's been trying to pick her up since Day 1. Remember, he said at the very beginning that he tried to pick her up once a long time ago. As for Melissa and Joan, the did act immature. After all, it is a game. Don't expect to sit back and win just because of your name. As for Annie...hmmmmm, she's two faced that's for sure! She thinks she has the game won. Maybe she does, but I think she has lost alot of respect from the viewers. Besides, after you win the title, who actually remembers?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

If Melissa had kept her mouth shut and stayedin control she would probably have survived. She made the mistake of cutting off trump and taking a negative tone when Brandi took a positive self confident and passionate stance. But lets face it, Melissa was lucky to survive this long. And really....her mother had to walk off and follow her? I understand family loyalty, but Melissa is an adult and this is a show raising money for charity not an actual job. It's also TEMPORARY.

As for Annie....she's awesome. She playing to win and she's doing a damn good job of it. Joan Rivers' attacks against her are totally inappropriate and unprofessional. Some of the things that she has said are deeply offensive and should never have been said regardless of her personal feelings toward Annie. At least Annie's actions haven't seemed to be outright malicious like Joan's.

WOW....I must admit I couldn't wait for Sundays show to come on.

Joan Rivers is a tired , pitiful excuse for a comedian. Her comments regarding hitler, whores, white trash, etc. were really shameless and revealed her true character. No apologizing necessary. You said what you meant to say. You are what you are. You are a JOKE. You remind me of the movie "V". Keep your mask on, we know whats underneath.

Melissa is not much different and that is ashame. I don't think she likes her mother, but can't separate from the cord. She is spiteful and lashed out at the poor ole set workers as she left. She may have done better had her old lady not been on the show. Guess we will never know. Next time, if there is one, show some class and go out with your head held high. Not like your nasty mother.

As for the remaining celebrities, they all deserve to still be there. My guess is that it will go down between Jesse and Annie, both of which have game.

I says every one had issue last night except for Ivanka. I think Jesse could win this, but he was being a bit baby-ish last night. Clint is always a baby, even tho he was better last noght , jesse's idea's wouold have been way better, but Jesse should have been the PL since this was his expertise. Joan needs to let her daughter grow and stop coddling her when she doesn't get her way. Melissa was throwm under the bus unfairly (mostly Annie's doing by using Brandi) but Melissa should have been more pro about it. Annie is not the next hitler, but she does give Castro & Stalin a run for their money (pun intended)when it comes to manipulation and deciet.. Brandi can be very smart, but she seems to be lazy when a task is more challenging than usual, she should have not accepted the PL assignment if she wasn't going to do any of the work. And sinec they lost she should have thrown Annie under the bus, because it was all Annie's fault they failed or she should have been fired because she could have used Melissa more and done better, maybe even win. Trump was supposed to be inpartial and focus on the task at hand. The task was not about raisnig money, it was about the specific challenge, but he wanted Brandi & Annie to stay because they will bring in alot of money for "charity" & NBC. That other guy was a joke and not even needed. Where's Don JR when we need him?!

Just my opinion but I did not care for Joan Rivers making comments about Annie Duke being similar to a historical figure that is sensitive to the Jewish community. Though and yes both Joan and Melissa are Jews - they should not take their roles; who they are; and what they are involved with relevant to major media and just casually or aggressively accuse another person of being 'Hitler' - that is just ridiculous; asinine and I just lost respect for any person who goes around spitting and attacking another because of personal differences.

I think it's best that the mother daughter pair have left - Joan quitting shows just how much of a hypocrite she is as she attacked Clint Black then changed her mood and then told Jessie James "Support Your Team" and then splits when her daughter is fired. PATHETIC.

I think the "Rivers" family should find some manners and take the next decade to reposition their attitudes --- and probably careers after their stunt they pulled on the last episode. Good T.V. but only took away their celebrity from them.

Those of you who think that Annie should be fired obviously haven't spent even a second in the hard-core business world. Sissies like you wouldn't last an hour.

Clint knows how to play the game. Again, the weaklings don't get that.

Jesse is a nice guy, but he's too nice. The only reason he's a "celebrity" is pure luck.

Joan & Melissa are freaks, and only another freak would defend them.

HAHAHA She is a talentless leach! I laughed my ### off when she got fired. Now she and her scary mommy will have to find some other venture for has beens. Hey, how about farming with all the other horses in the world!

Melissa and Joan Rivers behavior throughout the show and especially upon their departure was inexcusable and embarrassing for them. They are both an embarassment to female executives and women in general. Regardless of whether you feel the firing was correct, the fact of the matter is it was just business and not everything is fair in business. Also, this is an entertainment show and its to raise money for charity! There is no place for name calling and hurt feelings in the corporate world or on an entertainment show! Melissa was fired by her superior (host of the show), whether deservedly or not, and she reacted like an overly emotional child!

I have somewhat enjoyed Joan Rivers in the past and her supposedly ability to laugh at herself. I have always found Melissa to hang on her mother's coat tails. After seeing their absolutely rude, self-serving behavior throughout this show, I no longer have an interest in seeing them in anything. And when Joan passes so shall Melissa's "career"!

Celebrity Apprentice is fun to watch. I saw a one season show with Melissa coming in 2nd and she was great. I think "Mama" makes her weaker. I would never talk for my daughters. They have always had to work hard and take the knocks as they come. It makes them better people and more successful. I would never quit the show either because my daughter was fired. I think Joan and her daughter have a very dependent relationship. Probably because she had her daughter later than most do, only one child, and she worked all the time. Lots of guilt so she over reacts to compensate for the lack of time she spent with her when she was young child.

I feel that Melissa and Joan should not have been on the same show togeather. They constantly interseeded for one another. Their behavior was unexcuseable, and not representative of their charities. I will not watch the two on the red carpet again.

I find it ironic that Joan and Melissa Rivers are in charge of anything to do with television after that display on Celebrity Apprentice. I wouldn't want to be associated with them if I were any network at this point. I think it is interesting that some celebrities can make comments that seriously under mind their career - like Kramer and Mel Gibson and no one has really called them on the carpet for their foul mouthed ridiculous behavior. They want everyone to be respectful of them but they have none for anyone else. I think the networks should just shut them out. Let them sell jewelry to their 50+ year old customers and call it a day.

If I ever was in a situation where I had a choice as to whom I would like a blow job from, I would take Annie Dukes hands down over Joan and Melissa. Joan can't even move her face muscles, and Melissa would need her mother's guidance and approval. I like Annie Dukes, she's a self-made person unlike Melissa Rivers whose only claim to fame is being Joan River's daughter. I would like the final to be between Jesse James and Annie Dukes.

I have never been so embarrassed for 2 celebrities as I was after watching that episode. Those women acted certifiably crazy. Do I think that Annie plays with an underhanded agenda -- yes, but really.... the reaction from those two women was ridiculous. Melissa might be the most irritating, obnoxious person ever to grace that show. And does Joan Rivers think the goal of every contestant is to protect her daughter? No ma'am, it is to win money for charity. The venom spewing team humiliated themselves to the point I lost all respect for them, and I actually kinda liked Joan when the show started. Have a little dignity, self-respect and grace ladies.

First, why the hell is Duke considered a top poker player? She isn't even listed in the Top 100 poker players in the world. Does she even make the Top 150?

Second, Melissa is a good person. She has the same ability as her mother does for being able to notice when others are taking advantage of her or are back stabbing her.

Third, that blonde bimbo is white trash. Joan Rivers worked her way up in the world by working hard, very hard. She has earned the right to call people "white trash" when they make a name for themself by taking of their shirt to let the world see their boobs.

Fourth, I think Trump is starting to lose it. It seems like he is trying to make money at all costs.

I think Trump kicked Melissa off the show because his ego took a hit when he got cut off.....oh that poor man.

His daughter got to the point she is at because she works for her dad.

Joan and Melissa really should be ashamed of themselves....but they won't be and they'll argue it forever. Then again, who really cares? Joan can go back to selling jewelry and her daughter can go back to hanging onto her mom's coat tails. Maybe she should try pouring coffee at a dunkin donuts because without her mom, that's where she would be anyways.

For you Annie Duke fans who like to bring up her WSOP bracelets and how much she has won. Do you realize how many bracelets are given away every year? The real bragging rights are for 10k no-limit hold em. When she wins that, I'll be impressed. Winning 3 million in poker as a professional is not a big deal. Most of those pro's have won that, more than that and lost it as well. Read enough articles and interviews and you'll see how many have gone broke. If you all really want to know what Annie Duke is like, check out the posts in alt.rec.gambling pertaining to players who have played with her. You'll see she isn't so much different than that crybaby Melissa.
The dumb blonde with the great body should have been fired but it's very obvious from Sunday night's show that the show and the "Game" is predetermined. The more I listen and see of Trump, the more clear it is that the guy has no class. He's gone broke before...and he will again.

Team Joan and Melissa here.

Wit is always greater and more entertaining than trashy game-playing.

I am absolutely thrilled to see the Rivers' leave the show. Melissa is just a dumb who is trying to make a careers with Mommy's push and do not even get me started with Joan.

First of all, I agree with N/A, who stated "I think Trump kicked Melissa off the show because his ego took a hit when he got cut off..." I think The Donald was all set to fire Brandi (sic) until he was cut off by Melissa (in fact, the Donald did not give Melissa a chance to finish what she had to say, and at that point Melissa was so angry with the whole situation, that I don't think she even realized that she "rudely" interrupted him. I agree that Joan should let Melissa "fight" her own battles, but Joan realized that Annie and Brandi did throw Melissa under the bus. If you really watch the scenes carefully, you will realize that Melissa was in fact ignored and was purposely set up to take the fall if her team lost. I also feel that Melissa should not have used the language that she did and would hope that once she cooled down, that she apologized to the people that had nothing to do with her being "fired". (I think we saw in this scene that some of us at one time wished we had said how we really felt, but knew enough not to say it.) I really would like to know what was on the note that the Donald passed to the man on his right (I do not know his name, but I wasn't exactly impressed with him either.)

Annie is playing a game and doing it perfect. She is playing everyone just like they should be to win the game which she does for a living. I'm pretty sure it will be Annie and Jessie in the finale. And as for Joan, Melissa and Clint...I will never watch them or listen to them ever again for the rest of my life. They are dispicable!

Horrible decision by Donald Trump. Brande failed to deliver what a REAL project manager would do if this was real life. She failed to consider not only the technical skills of each person, but also the critical roles and chemistry between team members. Without a doubt I knew they were going to lose just horrible teamwork. Brande failed to include Melissa in the team by not listening and discussing the ideas being discussed by each team member. Either she set up Melissa for failure or she is just dumb playboy bunny (I'm going for the dumb part, she seemed confused). I guess if it doesn't involve sex it doesn't make sense. She failed to deliver what a TRUE project manager would do, which is be open for communications and ensure that project participants can voice their opinions and concerns. Something anyone with some good common sense would’ve noticed that she didn't, that didn’t seemed like a team. It seemed like a team of Annie and Brande. All Brande did was agree with Annie, not question or debate anything about it and ignore Melissa's ideas. Melissa was really put in a tough position I can see why she was so angry because in real life Brande would've been fired for failing to deliver adequate leadership abilities and ability to manage a team. Obliviously, this show is not about skills but about who can raise the most money (get the most ratings), which obviously no doubt the airhead playboy star will deliver and the egotistical, self centered poker lady will do so too, otherwise her friends will have to deal with her bitchy self.

In regards to Donald Trump's views. He is a clueless as to what it takes to be a real project manager, he fails to understand the concept of what a real project manager should be and how much responsibility they have, lost a lot of respect on Donald Trump, not that I had much to start with. Must be the toupee that he is wearing that is too tight causing him to lose focus and not think logically. I guess all he could see is RATINGs... RATINGs... RATINGs...

Lastly, poker players are white trash that was hilarious. It's funny how Annie plays the victim when she is a bad seed. The River ladies are no saint but the Duke (which why is she still using her ex-husband's last name?), so much independence. That woman has issues is Annie is the best... Annie that... hilarious. And yet people still support her egotistical bitchy self.

Annie is the only real woman there. The best combo of brains and beauty among all of the woman. She'd make it to CEO in the corporate world. I'm rooting for her to win. I hope Joan Rivers stays away, she juped the shark (or it jumped her) 20 years ago. I can't think of one talent Melissa has other than being Joan's daughter. Her meltdown was a classic example of what many celebrities truly are - whiny bastards who can't take being told no and then explode at all the innocent people around them.Go Annie!

Isn't it ironic that the Rivers' fans are much like Joan's daughter... riding on her coattail. The comments that have spewed from Joan's mouth since the season's show began are obscene, yet those who support her call everyone else bitchy.

haha... says... Are you really serious??? Annie Duke has 4 kids by her ex-husband... why would she still not use his last name. Most divorced women that I know, including myself, do not change their name when they divorce, especially when there are kids involved. An even smarter question would be... "why is Melissa Rivers using her mother's name instead of her fathers?" Guess Melissa Rosenberg wouldn't have gotten her very far. JEEZ!

Annie is playing the game to win. If that includes throwing people under the bus, well, that is part of the game. It isn't a life or death situation; it doesn't have anything to do with their survival; it does, however, show a lot of personality. Annie has played every game to win whether it is for her charity or for someone else's charity. I don't see that with Joan or Melissa.

Hope Annie wins

I think Melissa and Joan both deserved to go. They both act like little kids when they don't get their way. Good for you Annie, I think you are playing the game. After all that is what you are there for. I don't like Clint. He has no personality. Love Jesse.

I agree with all that the apprentice fan has written above... read it:)

Lets call a spade a spade. As outrageous as Joan is, her daughter did not deserve to be fired last night. Joan sees Annie and Brande for what they really are. Like Brande is really smart? Please Annie will eat her for dinner. Melissa is right that Annie knows she has a better chance of going up against Brande than Melissa. Annie is 2 faced. It appears that Donald got his feelinsg hurt when Melissa wanted to finish her answer that he asked her. Nothing wrong with that. Brande was weak as project manager and Annie was pretty much in control of the project ideas. They lost. His side kick Jim Kramer from CNBC even voted for Brande with out doubt initially. Then changed his tune like a canary after Donald slipped him a note like a 5th grader. From one hypocrite to another. Jim Kramer showed how flakey he is and shouldn't be a judge. Donald has made some bad decisions that have blindsided both Khloe and Melissa. Brande brags about how much money she can raise, so basically they should change the name of the show to Celebity Fund Raiser Apprentice, cause obviously ones skills and business talent doesn't matter.

Now we know why Edgar killed himself.

I THINK THIS WAS ALL SCRIPTED. IF YOU LOOK BACK JOAN RIVERS WAS STANDING STILL FOR THE SHOT WHEN ANNIE AND BRANDE WALKED BACK IN THE ROOM. ITS ALL SCRIPTED BUT WOW, IT WAS AWESOMELY DONE!!!!!!!!!

I love Melissa and really was rooting for her to win. I agree Donald has made some bad decisions, and as angry as Joan was and as hard as it was for her to separate herself from her emotions where her daughter was concerned I have to say her standing up to Annie and storming off when she did was (at least to me) admirable. She has a ton of class and Melissa is lucky to have a mom who demonstrates that kind of fierce loyalty.

I thought it was funny to watch the meltdown at the end. Joan Rivers said "poker player" as if "comedienne" is any better. I mean, for starters they both play in casinos and have to compete mostly w/men. Personally I think they both require the same amount of brains...comediens & poker players both have to be quick on their feet. If anything, Joan should have some respect for Annie since she obviously inhabits the same places.

As for Melissa, for a grown woman, she sure it attached at the hip to her mommy. Grow up woman!!! And my goodness, don't their faces hurt from stretching so far? just wondering....

Melissa did a great job with directing and taking charge on some of the tasks. But she’s not a good leader at all. And she’s not a good follower either. She should have been fired weeks ago. Her embarrassing and childish antics at the end of the show reminded me of a famous quote:

Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned!

That woman needs some deep therapy. How hysterical! Annie and Brande, check your tires!!!!

I think Annie has played the game brilliantly (just like Piers did last year)! She is manipulative and conniving, but she has not lied or leveled any personal attacks on her competitors in the boardroom (despite being called arrogant, egotistical, Hitler, etc). She’s got brains. And although anything can happen in the boardroom, I’d be surprised if she doesn’t win the whole thing.

Melissa shouldn't have been fired. I don't blame her for being so angry... she knew she was being played from the beginning. Brandi is a pitiful person bowing down to Annies whims. Annie has no ethics at all and the only one that seems to have the guts to voice that is Joan. Trump is looking for ratings and could care less about the charities. Obviously it's not about how much work, and how well each team member does it's about how much MONEY they can personally raise. Melissa clearly worked harder than Brandi on this last task, even though she was ostracized by her teammates. She was fired because she couldn't raise a lot of MONEY.

I have never seen such childish behavior on a television show! Melissa Rivers is the most foul-mouthed, spoiled rotten brat I have ever seen! Donald Trump should have known better than to put those two losers (her mother is just as bad!) on his show. Up until now I enjoyed Celebrity Apprentice but I was just disgusted at how the Rivers people (can't call them women because that would be disparaging to the rest of us of the female persuasion!) were allowed to be so blatantly rude and insulting to other people. I think that Annie and Brandy showed great restraint and class under such a torrent of nasty language. Way to go Annie and Brandy - hope you are the final two!!

Melissa did not belong on the show to begin with just like a few other, Celebrity is the name and a few were less than borderline Celebrities. PLUS it was 2 against the rest as the Rivers (aka Cryme a Rivers) were always playing them against the rest - not quite fair. I think Donald wanted Joan and she probably only agreed to come on if they took her daughter to try to give her some more exposure - didn't work out so great. Joan is either crazy or just really a sad person, to use those comments about someone else and on national TV is really sad. For Melissa to allow herself to be babied by her mother through the entire show and also use her mother to defend her is really telling of that whole relationship. Goodbye and good for the show, hoped Melissa would go and Joan quit with her, really tired of listening to them and seeing those faces.

Check out (www.ThePatientsAdvantage.com). I ran into them looking for Botox surgeons. They have a great way to find the best surgeons and it is completely free.

have you seen annie's trailer park skank tatoos, pig slut. her kids are doomed. she can't stay married, cheated on her husband and now live with some street person looking loser. thanks mom.
this lady is an idiot she plays a game that there is a lot of luck involved and it takes a short time to learn the odds and statistics of muti players and the rest is luck. the so called pros are just the ones from history that played the most and had reasonable intellect.
the so called poker pros pratically never win anymore because they are unable to win against even the most rookie players. they now create shows featuring themselves as the best, but the reality is they are just average intelligent people that started before the craze. after, seeing the reasoning ability of annie on the apprentice, it is obvious that her failures to provide a stable 2 parent home for her children extents to failures to be able to accomplish simple business tasks and getting along with others. She and the others on the show do not understand the most basic methods of brainstorming and idea development and just show themselves as incompetents, just because you have a few dollars does not mean your not a loser. I hope your kids can get away from you in time. stop spending time getting "i'm a skank whore slut" tatoos and take care of your kids and stop feeding your "my daddy did not love me crap" with some loser street person boyfriend that is living off of your blowjob poker winnings. SKANK SLUT.
sincerely Ivanka
see my new jewelry line on my web site.

let’s make this easy.....Annie is a white trash bitch...who in all seriousness says that she’s a great blow job on national TV (she has little children at home)if she wins I will be happy for her charity....ON THE OTHER HAND....Joan Rivers does not need to be the Celebrity Apprentice...She has proven herself time and time again is is a self made woman who in my opinion shines....hail Joan Rivers for her perseverance and stamina.....I hope that I am running around at her age and look half as good......YOU CAN DO IT JOAN!!!!

I <3 Joan, she really stands up for herself!

I think Joan is ridiculous,because she didn't play mom that good,it's so mean to call other people Hitler，while I think a good mom tells her daughter to deal with things not to make things worse.By quiting the game is so not righter,quiter is loser,what if win for your daughter?
I think Annie is good,she knew what she want and go for it,maybe sometimes it may seem annoy,but also mature,she handle thing good...
Brande is definitely my favourate,beautiful and nice,ok,I like Ivanka more,because she seems wiser than Brande.I think Brande has protential to be a wise woman,and Ivanka already is..
Like Jesse,but you really don't know all.
don't like Clint,I like country
because of Trace now I'm not sure...
still don't like DT,maybe I just don't like rich man ,I only see the things they are missing ,which bothers me,but I like his daughter,I think that will explain his success somehow...

ANYONE who likes Joan Rivers, defends her, or wants her to win, is a low class, low IQ pile of trash just like this disgusting lunatic woman is.

Joan Rivers is the epitome of white trash, she and her 43 yr old whining daughter who acts 12.

Love the IDIOTS above who claim annie is this and that solely on what they hear Joan/M say about her. Ridiculous.

Joan's husband killed himself because of her and anyone who was around back then knows this to be true.. then her behavior after that was unbelievable..

Joan Rivers makes a living making fun of WWII atrocities. Joan R goes on cruises and does gigs making fun of 911 victims and their families, this is how this 3rd rate celeb makes a living.. Talk about "blood on your hands"!

Joan and M got fired from the red carpet a yr ago because they were a big whiny pain in the azz-

The whole show is fixed. Why was J and M allowed on teh show together? Why did Joan get to come back after she quit when Tionne was fired because she offered to come to the board room? Trump made it clear he hates quitters. WHY IS JOAN STILL THERE WHEN SHE'S ACCOMPLISHED NOTHING IN THESE PROJECTS?

WHY WASN'T JOAN FIRED WHEN SHE FAILED MISERABLY ON THE JEWELRY AUCTION?

Joan sells jewelry on QVC and yet she sent someone else to pick the jewelry? why wasn't she fired for this?

Joan has brought in less... LESS money than anyone on the show.. did ya'll know that? she's been in the biz 40 yrs, LIVES IN NEW YORK and she raised ONLY $8,000 for the jewelry auction!!

GIVE ME A BREAK!! THIS IS SO FIXED!!

STILL NOT CONVINCED TRUMP PROMISED HER FINAL 2 BEFORE THIS COMPETITION EVEN BEGAN?

HOW ABOUT THIS:

TRUMP'S SISTER IN LAW IS ON THE BOARD OF JOAN'S CHARITY!!!

TALK ABOUT COLLUSION AND A FIXED REALITY SHOW!

REALITY MY AZZ!

I hate Joan Rivers to the core. I only hope her entire career goes down the drain and someone skins her alive just as those animals were to make those damn fur coats of hers.

Whole show is fixed. Trump's sister in law is on the board of Joan's charity...

JOan and M fired from red carpet so Joan has a new show on some little online tv channel and guess who owns the show-same guy who owns Celeb Apprentice.

talk about unrevealed collusion- C A never divulged this info to the public.

JOan was obviously promised final 2 before the game even started, she should have been fired sooo many times already.

trump probably already promised her the win too.. either way, the whole show was fixed in her favor from the beginning-

totally disgusting, no respect for trump and him handing this to joan

The whole show was fixed and staged. Remember what Clint said at tonight's finale - when Trump asked him who he thinks should be fired, Annie or Joan, Clint said "your (Trump's) editor". That tells you that a lot of stuff goes on behind the scenes that the viewers know nothing about. I took up Mass Communications and know that editors and network people can manipulate videos, cut and put them together to tell the story they want you to see. But the real REALITY is, none of those celebrities are what they seem on this show. Their flaws were all exaggerated and magnified, just to keep the show interesting. The person who should be fired is Donald Trump himself - but hey who can blame him - this show is all about getting the viewers to watch advertisements and haul money for NBC! It's all business baby!!!

I agree 100% with JoanWhiteTRASHLUNATIC, Jen and Joanhater. I didn't know Trump's sister-in-law was on the board of Joan's charity but I do know that his favorite charities are for AIDS and Pediatric AIDS. Go figure!

I, too, think she was promised the win before she agreed to be on the show. He most likely never saw the things that went on and relied on others to inform him of certain things. He DID, however, watch her antics and hear her spew her venom of hate in the board room. Telling someone they are worse than Hitler, plugging her ears so she wouldn't hear Annie talk, calling people liars, walking off saying she was not coming back, then come late the next day (which was done for her grand entrance, I'm sure) then last night, she made the comment at all the money Annie brought in was Mafia money; any of those would have gotten anyone else fired.

I cannot believe the casino's will have her back once the current contracts are fulfilled.

I know one thing... As much as I have always enjoyed the apprentice since the first year it was on, last night was the LAST time I will watch it. So, next year, I will find something else to watch at that time. In fact, after Biggest Loser is over this season, I really think I am not watching NBC again for allowing this kind of action yet renewing the contract for next season.

I was disappointed Donald did not admonish Joan for her unprofessional/8 year old behavior. At minimum, an apology was in order. (Surely the American Jewish Comitte was cringing at diluting Hitler's importance by comparing anyone to him) Perhaps she needs a med change. As an after thought, I wish Annie had mentioned that Joan's behavior was hurting both charities, since no one seemed to think there was a problem with her tirade from a board room/business behavior perspective. I think she's in a situation with her other "business" dealings where no one is in a position to tell her she is full of crap, so she thinks she's a fabulous manager. Her perspective on Vegas is so dated and uninformed, that I'm surprised she makes anything in any business. Mobsters went out when the corporations took over, in what? the 70's? Lastly, I would have liked poker to be portrayed in it's modern form. It would do no good, because she is too far gone, but ask Joan what she thinks of professional golfers. Then remind her that there was a time when golfers were looked upon as low life, gambling scoundrels. Poker, at the casino level, is no longer some collection of cheatin, n'er do well questionable scam artists. Currently, there are a scary number of Rocket Scientists, Phd Math graduates, computer wiz's and past chess masters to make the game difficult at the top level.

I support Joan. Humours is importmant to the reality shows.

dBbkE9 comment2 ,

If you have to do it, you might as well do it right.

I feel bad for the guy who has to ride down with those two in the elevator.
