The Apprentice, U.K.: Jolly good fun

Breaking News: There's a version of Apprentice out there that is actually quite nice, mate.


Before the dawn of reality D-lister sludge's Celebrity Apprentice, there was another, better show called just The Apprentice. Although it eventually lost its luster, the original Apprentice was a sensation, with a savvy and engaging cast, educational tasks, and awesome rewards (remember the helicopter ride around NYC???), and it launched the career of affable Bill Rancic. The Apprentice was so good that creator Mark Burnett started a similar version in the UK, with billionaire Sir Alan Sugar standing in for Trump. Sugar is not exactly sweet. He is a much more serious, less flamboyant version of Trump. He's intimidating, thought not really frightening. "I don't like liars, I don’t like cheats. I don’t like bullshitters, I don’t like schmoozers, I don’t like arse-lickers," he tells the contestants on their first day. Win on your own merits, he explains, not on smoke and mirrors. 

If you thought the U.S. version was good, you'll love the British version, which follows a more documentary format, avoids sensation, and has more interesting, difficult, and educational tasks (Aren't British versions often better?). Those tasks include selling flowers, designing a toy for grade schoolers, working on the floor at Harrod's, and going on a scavenger hunt around London to buy a list of items as cheaply as possible, like bowler hats and a mattress. The boardroom drama also doesn't drag on as much as Trump's boardrooms do, so we spend less time watching the contestants bicker and more on the cool tasks. Sugar actually really hates when they don't get along and tries to stop their fighting, not encourage it, which is refreshing.

Saira Khan, in particular, is an aggressive and scrappy Environmental Manager who is the first business woman in her family.


She's just downright fun to watch, even when she grates on your nerves. After a tough negotiation for a T.V. box, she is able to get it for free by speaking in her native Kashmiri with the salesman. "That's how I get away with murder," she quips in her delightful British accent. Reality T.V. "character" gold. Love 'er.

Check out The Apprentice UK, and start with Saira's season, season one, which aired in 2005. Almost all the seasons of the UK version are available on Youtube. One of the few reality T.V. shows worth watching these days.

I don't like Sherri Sheppard either...but I looked at her timeline, and I don't really think she's out of line. Her son had to go to the bathroom, he tried to use the bathroom in coach, but there was a wait. He had to go, If he really had to go...and the first class bathroom was available...why not let her son use it?

I don't know, just seems reasonable to me.

SISeattle #197 Goody is quite familiar with courtrooms. She's been sued many times. Not enough it seems, she's oblivious to the fact what she tweets is criminal. She has backed off considerably the past 6 months or so, making the occasional rabid tweet about Jon. She has another Twitter name she uses for religious (ha, yep, l laughed too) purposes, Jon Gosselin free from what l see.

ITA, Kirkland. I fly all the time and it has never been an issue using the first class lav if the coach lav is full. It was the flight attendant who was off base unless Sheri was rude to the flight attendant initially. It works both ways.

Meagler said...

Well, everyone has left and a good time was had by all...even had a late night game of darts with the 17yr old son. I am going to miss this kid when he graduates and heads out to start his life of his own.

Shutting down the blog for the night. Its 2:30am here.

For those who will be up way before I...hope the sun is shining in your area of the world!

I just started reading this week’s In Touch magazine. In their Number of the Week section: “ $75,000 – stars like Kate Gosselin will earn on Celebrity Apprentice, regardless of how much money they raise for charity”. It is a tabloid magazine for take it for what it’s worth.

But if true, who wouldn’t want to get voted off in week 1 where you still get the paycheck without having to do the work? If she did get voted off in week one, it would leave her 5 weeks in NY with Steve and no kids. In her mind…..KA CHING! I know on Survivor the pay depends on how many weeks you stay on the show.

TLC stinks said...

http://www.allaboutthetea.com/2014/03/26/celebrity-apprentice-begins-filming-in-nyc-fan-review/

A fan's take. People who entered Pie Face had to sign a waiver and have their picture taken ( so there was security , Kate) and all Kate did was greet people ( that's difficult, NOT) by saying hello.

TLC stinks said...

From Hollywood Gossip:But as workers and customers at the growing NYC chain soon realized - you can put the girls in a uniform, but you can't make them work.

One onlooker described the pair as "not really working at all" and noted that they appeared to be keeping their distance from one another. "I know my kids' names, if you want to ask that," Kate bafflingly joked to a customer.

I would agree if the kid were 3 or 4 but he's 8! He should be able to hold it.

Yes. The rules are very clear, you can't use the first class bathroom unless you pay for a first class ticket. So you have to teach your child don't wait until the very last minute when you can't possibly hold it anymore. Get up and go before that point just in case there is a line for the bathroom.

Really? I don't fly all the time by any means, but I fly frequently enough, and it is always an issue. In fact I consider it common knowledge that coach tickets are not to use first class bathrooms. Usually they even make a point to announce that and I swear they say something about it's a security thing they're required to do now. Maybe it's the airline?

Realitytvkids.com ~ Administrator said...

Hey, do you folks remember that Discovery has an "ethics" hotline? LOL!

http://corporate.discovery.com/contact/ethics-hotline/

I wonder how ethical is it really to defy a father's wishes for his children. networks like Bravo seem to think that's off limits EVEN if said father is not even on their payroll.

Tucker's Mom said...

If an airline attendant tells you that you can't use the first class bathroom you don't sass them back.
Those people have lives in their hands, and Sherri's special little snowflake's bladder isn't their problem.
At 8 or 10, he should have enough control to hold it for a few minutes.

I think Sherri's a good actor, but can't stand her personally. I can't watch The View, in general anymore.
Too depraved.

Realitytvkids.com ~ Administrator said...

With the help of google I found the message from flight attendants I remember hearing on flights. It goes something like this: "Due to heightened security all passengers are required to stay in their ticketed cabin and may not use the lavatories in a cabin different than their ticketed cabin."

Paula said...

I believe the airplane bathroom "issue" is a FAA guideline. They don't want too many pepple too close to the cockpit.

Realitytvkids.com ~ Administrator said...

It's a security rule that makes perfect sense. Since the first class bathroom is usually right near the cockpit, it's not really a good idea to have a bunch of people lined up there. That area needs to be kept clear so that no one gets a chance to be up to no good. It's basic security. Further, people pay a lot of money for first class tickets, and I think part of paying that extra money is so you don't have a ton of people traipsing by you. That's how any first class section works, including trains. You stay out or if you want the luxury of a quieter cabin you pay the premium. I'm happy to honor that, since if I forked over the big bucks I would want the same.

Now according to google, some flights enforce the rule, some don't. Sherri was on a flight that enforced it. So, too bad so sad, rules are rules.

Been reading daily but hard to find time to post. Y'all are really helping me through this post surgery time.

First, Admin and others that have to deal with the Earthquakes in Ca., I think of you daily and hope it will all come to an end soon. I guess no matter where you live there is some way the something is going to happen that will cause loss and injury. Here its hurricanes and flooding with heavy rain fall. Up north its the snow storms and out west the Quakes. Mother nature is a bitch and its only going to get worse. You can't pick up and start over because no matter where you go there is always something happening with the weather. I just pray everyone is ok and stays on top of things to stay safe.

A lot of post here about KK and how her face has changed over the last few years. I was watching the Attack of the 50 ft Woman the other night and drifting in and out of sleep. There was a scene with two guys walking down a hall in an office and one said to the other "Do you know what the biggest problem with plastic surgery is? and his answer, "turkey neck, these middle aged women come out of surgery and their neck looks like my Uncle Bob's scrotum".
That woke me up and if you look at KK's neck, it definitely looks like someone"s scrotum. When is she going to stop? Bitch, stop spending your kids money to improve your looks, its not working. Your neck does look just like an old man's scrotum.

She didn't hide her age last year, seems she loved posting about turning 38 so her 6 little twitter friends would know and constantly tell her she looks 10 years younger. All 6 need a good eye exam.

Another thing, the pic of not a boyfriend holding the door open for her is disgusting. The lusty look on her face and the way he is standing made my stomach turn. Hey Gina, guess what we are going to do?
Bodyguard my ass. Steve, I hope you like sucking on turkey necks. Gross!

Everyone stay safe and keep the entertainment coming.
Can't wait to see her be put in her place. Never watched CA before so thanks for the how it works.

Haha, in that case I hope she goes to the end! It actually makes sense that they would have to raise the pay to entice the D-listers and hasbeens. Many of the contestants like Kate have been largely unemployed. There are not there because they want to be charitable.

People like Joan Rivers, Bret Michaels and Trace Adkins have plenty of money, I believe they did the show mainly to benefit their charities. People like that are getting harder for The Donald to get, evidenced by the fact the show was almost canceled. I get the feeling to save face and keep the show on the air, Donald had to pony up and open his wallet. Hey, if it helps to keep Kate's grubby fingers out of the kid's money, it's all good.

NJGal51 said...

The Hollywood gossip said neither TFW nor Brandi appeared to be working but according to the fan Brandi was taking orders so I guess she was doing a bit more work than TFW who was a greeter. Also, if they had different "jobs" they wouldn't necessarily be together so I'll take the Hollywood gossip report for what it's worth when it talks about them keeping their distance.

--------------
Because rules are rules, and that apparently was the rule on that airline. It was the attendant's job to enforce it. What if she allowed Sherri's little darling to break that rule? Then there could be others who would want to do the same thing. You break the rule for one, and who knows how many others would be lining up, saying, hey, her son was allowed to go, why can't I? You do it for one, and in all fairness to the other passengers in coach, you allow them to do the same. Soon you'd have multiple people going into first class. The you'd have first class passengers complaining (and rightfully so) that they purchased first class tickets and coach passengers were using "their" bathroom. There's a reason that there are rules and in this case, her son should have gone when he felt the urge, or just held it like everyone else.

Or, asked for a plastic bag at his seat, gone in there, and handed it to the flight attendant. :)

Realitytvkids.com ~ Administrator said...

And in fairness we don't know who was assigned what job. It's possible that some contestants were supposed to just be the bakers and then just be on an as-needed basis for sales. Or maybe they were taking turns doing various jobs and it wasn't their turn. There are a lot of people on the team in the beginning and only so many jobs to do.

I'll wait until I see the actual show before I put a lot of weight in what a spectator thinks.

Blowing In The Wind said...

I confess, I used the "d" word on a tweet about ms.goody2shoes, just this afternoon, responding to a tweet. Death. I remember that she tweeted that she wanted Jon to have a bad car accident, be hurt very bad, be in coma for 6 months, wake up and be in rehab for 6 months.

I'm sorry for the confusion.

It may not technically be a death threat, but surely that is what she meant because of the horrible way what she wanted to happen to Jon, the father of his children.

------------------

Goody has tweeted some really nasty things about Jon, but I think that those on Twitter have made accusations for which they really have to be careful. This doesn't only apply to the Goody situation, but to other assertions that are made, and carried way too far. It's really not a good idea to take a statement and say that this is surely what a person meant. It might very well be that way, but when it comes to saying that a person did this or that, made a death threat, or whatever, it could come back to haunt you (and not in a good way). I realize that there are many who are very passionate in their dislike for Kate, but in their disgust have taken things way too far in accusations that may or may not be true.

You're absolutely right. I saw yesterday that someone here stated that she didn't think the comments by Twitter non fans were any different than things said here, and I do not agree with that.

Many Twitter non fans have taken their intense dislike for Kate and/or Kate's fans to the extreme making accusations that cannot be backed up and have often used unnecessary vile language. I don't see that happening here.

That's sort of my point about Twitter, it tends to go way too far for some reason. It's much more free for all.

People say that on this blog sometimes people go too far, and that's true. But any time that's happened usually people will chime in and say so, usually respectfully. For some reason I think blogs tend to have a more open and reasonable dialogue about what's reasonable and what's not. There seems to be more self awareness. I've likened Twitter to a cesspool or sandbox where it's just a free for all, and it really makes me uncomfortable how much is escalates. This goes for both sides.

When has Kate promoted anything? She never updated her website, promoted CC and The Stir, Bella Bars, Wantables, her own coupon site like she should have. Kate's just being Kate; expecting others to do everything for her. Kate is truly dumb as a box of rocks not promoting CA to her fans. Even Milo is getting tired of being her mouthpiece. Hasn't she figured out her fans should be rooting for her now, NOT when the show is aired...it's all a done deal by then. Makes me laugh.

Realitytvkids.com ~ Administrator said...

Perfect example, the other day someone made a comment about Kate being abused as a kid. Right away people chimed in saying well wait how do you know that? Another person pointed out it is in Robert's book, but Robert used unnamed family members so we didn't really know who said that. It could very well be true, but we need to be clear about how we know that. (And I would add that Kate herself has alluded to a less than perfect childhood and Jon mentioned her strict father.)

There was a reasonable discussion about whether those sources could be trusted and moreover, whether it was even appropriate to talk about someone's alleged abusive childhood when we knew so little about it.

If that were to happen on twitter it would have just been thrown out there as fact, probably in a nasty and vile manner, with no "checks and balances" from anyone. I prefer the way things are addressed here.

I always compare it to the Tower of Babel. Everyone is talking, few are listening. It is hard enough to get across a point on a blog, where you have plenty of space to fill.

But to use your analogy, twitter is like jumping into the sandbox and joining the brawl, and this blog is more like we are the commentators watching and analyzing the action. Pretty big difference, because anyone who wants to interact with TFW, however innocent, or just happened to stumble in, has to contend with the haters and the loverz, who, IMHO, are opposite sides of the same coin.

Yes, admin, exactly. What bothers me about Twitter is that the tweets are made directly to Kate, with the "haters" making accusations that simply aren't true, or are exaggerated to the point where there is no rhyme or reason for them. Moreover, the baiting that goes on there, on both sides, becomes so over the top. It's so wrong when a fan tweets something to Kate, saying that they are a fan, support her, have followed her for so long, etc., and the non-fans just jump on them and pester the living daylights out of that person. It's just so juvenile...like a middle school playground. There are so many young people on there, and adults going after them show such immaturity. Young fans, too, can become very annoying and often look for arguments. Instead of ignoring them, knowing full well that these youngsters just want to provoke, keep it going...and for what reason? Nobody "wins."

Then, of course, you have Gladys and the six or so remaining sheeple who are in a category all their own, and you just can't help but bang your head over some of the crazy and often absurd things that they tweet! They provide the entertainment (and stupidity) factor and keep things alive and amusing over there, although many times it's really sad to think that these people actually believe what they tweet in their "support" of Kate.

I've not seen that here.

Tweet and Blowing - I completely agree with both of you. I asked the question of LB yesterday because of one of her tweets. When someone else came on to answer me and said that she had screen captures of all the tweets I just said thanks for the info and moved on. Maybe it's just me but I don't keep screen captures of things like that. It is taken to the extreme on twitter sometimes which is why I read but don't post. I don't see it taken to that extreme at all on this blog.

As far as Sherri's kid having to pee goes...what 8 year old runs around in circles because he has to pee (which is what she said he was doing) especially in a confined area like the aisle of a plane. They either jump from foot to foot (pee pee dance) or they hold on to it (Do you have to pee? No? Then let it go it's not a handle). I imagine that she probably was causing a scene and this is based on the fact that she let him run around in circles. In the time she stood there arguing the coach bathroom probably cleared out. Rules are rules especially FAA rules. Stand on line and wait like everyone else OR buy a first class ticket.

It has evolved into that. Fans and non fans have become "haters."

When Kate's Twitter first started, the non fans could be very, very funny at times and provided great entertainment value. They also provided links when they tweeted statements. That changed at some point.

((((((((((((((((((((((

This is an excellent example of what is being discussed here this morning, which is making a statement that may or may not be true, with a poster asking for confirmation to back it up before it's accepted as gospel and passed along as fact.

Realitytvkids.com ~ Administrator said...

This is what I think happened. I think in the beginning there was and still is a group of people who sincerely and passionately support Kate and a group of people who sincerely and passionately feel that her decisions have been detrimental to these eight children. While both sides might still appreciate the fun and snark of it as I certainly do, at their core this is what drew us together. It's not mutually exclusive.

And then I think there are some extreme people who just like to fight. No matter what side, they just want to brawl. And those people are mostly who is left on Twitter probably because of the lack of accountability there and because most blogs would and have banned such behavior, and for most of us, it's very painful to watch. Especially since both sides will say just about anything, there are no boundaries. I have always felt that the whole thing with BV just played right into the fighters' hands. I don't seriously believe most of these people care two hoots about anyone's private life fan or hater. I think they just liked the idea of the fight, of the humiliation, of watching someone squirm under threats. It was quite a disturbing time.

While this comment is not meant to diminish really DV, the dynamics of it are similar. There is no actual physical abuse, but it's emotional. Despite repeatedly being treated poorly and neglected, abandoning them when something better is available, they keep coming back from more and defending her. The only way out is to leave, they must stop the cycle.

Tucker's Mom said...

Wow. Great catch, Mary Ann! I wonder if TCFW will tell those to be brides, Don't get married! Remember when she said that to those girls in the bridal gowns? She is so vile!
*******
I think Kate gets a "high" from being followed by cameras and being the center of attention.
She sure was high on herself on that day when she gave the unwed bride models 2 big thumbs up for not being married.
Quite the Christian, that one.
The funny thing is, when you're over your ex and the hurt and disappointment that comes with divorce, you begin to see that it was your marriage that was the problem, not marriage in general.
To try to influence young women to not marry is the height of arrogance.

Even Milo is getting tired of being her mouthpiece.

How long has it been since Milo has hawked Kate's coupon site, giddy with excitement that she found a pair of petite "slacks" in her size?
&&&&&&&&&&

I almost forgot about the coupon site. Along with the lawsuit, I think that was also invented just in time for the lame book tour so Kate had something to talk about. Like the lawsuit, the coupon site has been abandoned as well. More of that 'ol determination and follow through the sheeple claim Kate is famous for ;) Bwahahahahaha!

Well if TFW was only the greeter and she knew her kids' names but couldn't talk about the project manager's charity she may well have been fired if the women's team lost....especially if the chicken pie was one of her recipes. Time will tell or pictures posted of the event will tell who is and isn't there! I too find it funny that the other celebs are posting (especially to bring in donations) but TFW can't be bothered. It doesn't seem like she's even trying.

You would think this would be the last straw. The fanz can't even make the usual excuses like she's not allowed to tweet or she doesn't have time, because the other CA partcipants are doing it.

Plain and simple- she does not need them for anything right now so she's ignoring them. She engages them only if there's an immediate need for buzz or if she craves narcissistic supply. I have to think that they have realized this by now, but they will stick it out rather than admit we were right.

Tucker's Mom - I don't know if that was the actual context of why TFW said that but I read it somewhere and thought to myself that it made sense. As far as how much they're paid, I read that it was $16K for the first two or three episodes and then it went up (per episode) from there depending on the celebrity. So the $75K mentioned above may be for making it to the finals. Most of the celebs are in it for their charity and for the publicity.

I will so enjoy the walk of shame to the elevator. I will also enjoy hearing her try to defend herself in the boardroom because she doesn't seem to be able to put together a coherent sentence unless someone is whispering in her ear or it's pre scripted. "Um, um, um, but I'm a single mom trying to support 8 kids" isn't going to cut it. Some project managers have been really nice and fallen on their sword but most are in it to win it. I still think LaToya Jackson's biggest mistake was not bringing Omarosa in to the boardroom with her.

If she did get voted off in week one, it would leave her 5 weeks in NY with Steve and no kids.

Unless things have changed from previous seasons, when she's fired she'll get to go home. Celebs fired return for the finale show, though.

Realitytvkids.com ~ Administrator said...

I'm not sure why that prevents him from walking backward to the correct bathroom instead of forward to an incorrect bathroom prohibited from his use by federal aviation regulations. If he needs accommodations, Sherri should arrange them before the flight takes off like everyone who needs accommodations does.

Sounds like she's using it as an excuse and that does not help him.

Sue said...

So Sandi, having a special needs child gives you carte blanche to do whatever you want? I'd better let my friend know that because she's gown a child with Down Syndrome. Her little boy is very well behaved and I've never seen him out out when he's had to go to the bathroom. Here's an article from around 2008/9 about Sherri and her son in a toy store. I think it was from the Huffington Post.

Yesterday on "The View," Sherri Shepherd discussed taking her two-year-old son Jeffrey to a toy store that was having a sale instead of giving him a nap. She described the store, Giggle, as "a rich white folks' store."

What distinguishes a "rich white folks' store" from any other store? For Sherri, it's the inability to physically discipline her screaming child. Jeffrey was crying as they shopped for toys, but Sherri told the panel that, because she felt guilty about bringing him to the store instead of letting him nap, "I couldn't do what I normally would have done. Plus the people [were] looking at me like, this wasn't a store that looked like they beat the kids. So I had to do as the Romans do when I was in the Roman store."

It remains unclear whether these Romans came before or after the Christians.

What's amazing about it? If that's true, then perhaps she should know by now how to deal with certain situations if they occur. I'm sure that there were others on that plane who had special needs, and if they did, they would have informed the airline of that when they purchased their tickets. I'm willing to bet that there were elderly folks aboard who may have had mobility issues getting to the bathroom, or perhaps pregnant women who may have needed to use the facility more often than usual, but I would believe that they didn't make a scene about having special needs.

Sherri sounds like the type of parent who doesn't remind little Jeffrey to use the restroom BEFORE we get on the plane, thus avoiding this whole problem/twitter war in the first place.

When you're a kid mom is a nag about stuff like that. Once you're an adult you get it. But some women like Sherri just never get it.

I'm betting that Jon's has tried and tried to get Kate evaluated, and that she's fought tooth and nail to not have one.
I can't imagine he could force the issue.

You have to wonder, though, where Kate's head is when she has left her kids over and over and over for periods of time way longer than she really needed.
9 days for the RnR marathon in Vegas, anyone?

I can't imagine being a child of divorce, and the parent that I primarily live with is gone for days and weeks at a time.

NJGal51 said...

If you want first class treatment and amenities fly first class. I was waiting to use the plane bathroom once and a woman with a toddler asked if she could go ahead of me because he really had to go and was in his big boy underpants and didnt want to wet them. She didn't make a scene nor did she demand to use the first class loo. She just asked me very politely to cut the line. Sure, no problem and I don't think anyone else would have had a problem letting them go first either. Ask rather than act entitled and you may be surprised at how accommodating people will be.

So this ignorant woman has an autistic 2-year old, and she takes him to a toy store during his nap time. The completely predictable happens - he has a melt down. And her normal response would have been to punish him. No wonder she defends Kate - she is just like her in that she sets up her own child to fail, and then blames him for doing so. Shame on her.

My niece is autistic. Certain noises set her off. I believe they must cause her real pain because she's just beside herself. Baby crying; high pitched noises, certain music. She's not misbehaving. She does not need "a beating." She needs to be removed from the area where the sounds are coming from, so that she can calm down. This could well be what caused Sheri's child to melt down. Not to mention, missing his nap.

It's amazing she actually shared the story of her awful parenting, but to her, it was an example of how white parents are different than black parents.

I am guessing she put absolutely zero thought into her child's needs and expected needs when boarding that flight. No surprise - Kate and Sheri seem very similar to me. I feel sorry for her child.

I have a sibling who is specials needs. We're all adults now, but when we were growing up, my mom didn't think she deserved some sort of special accommodations everywhere we went. In fact, one of the great efforts of the past decades is to mainstream special needs children, so that the general population gets used to seeing all kinds of people with all kinds of needs, and less people stare, make rude comments, or tease or otherwise be cruel because they are "different."

I don't need to read up on every single celebrity before I comment on their ignorant parenting.

. I imagine that she probably was causing a scene and this is based on the fact that she let him run around in circles. In the time she stood there arguing the coach bathroom probably cleared out. Rules are rules especially FAA rules. Stand on line and wait like everyone else OR buy a first class ticket.
***************
It has been my experience time and again that most people will gladly let a child cut to the front of the bathroom line if it's clear that the poor kid is about to wet his/her pants. All Sheri would have had to do is 1) have him use the bathroom in the terminal while you are waiting for your flight. These days you have to arrive early and always have lots of time sitting around. Use it for the all important pre-boarding bathroom break! 2) If you were foolish enough to travel with a kid and not have them use the bathroom before boarding, then suddenly he HAS TO GO, calmly walk him down to the restrooms and hope one is available. If not, give it a minute and one will become available. Those airplane bathrooms are not places anyone wants to hang out and read a magazine.

It's clear she thought she could use her celebrity to get a special privilege and when that didn't happen, suddenly it's the airline's fault for following the rules. If you want first class privileges, then pay for them Ms. Shepherd. And please, your son is 8. You ought to have certain issues figured out by now, such as his bathroom habits. Don't blame your poor parenting on anyone but yourself.

Realitytvkids.com ~ Administrator said...

Exactly, I bet if she rang for the flight attendant or calmly approached them, explained that Jeffrey has special needs and really has to go and do you think they could cut the line for the restrooms, anyone would be happy to accommodate them.

Instead she made a scene, and no one likes that or feels like accommodating a spoiled brat.

Cape Cod Mama, what a game!

For those who have never watched Celebrity Apprentice, I realized that one of the most fun, insightful, and snarkiest reality TV websites has summaries from prior seasons. Robhasawebsite.com if you go to home page, go to ” more shows” tab and you can see Celebrity Apprentice in the listing. Rob talks about three show but also gives his analysis of the editing and what story is being told. One episode summary title: The Unintentional Comedy Gold of Teresa Giudice. It doesn't really master what TFMJG does, if the editors don't like her she WILL be portrayed negatively.

Math Girl said...

RE Sherri Shepherd and the first-class washroom (doesn't that sound like a Harry Potter title?)

From Sherri's tweets, it looks like the attendant talked to her before her son used the first-class washroom, but did relent and let him use it. This could have been because Sherri explained the situation and he/she did make an exception, because it was the fastest way to avoid a growing confrontation, or because he/she knew the only way to prevent it was to wrestle Sherri to the ground and put her in handcuffs.

Here are two of Sherri's tweets:

Sherri Shepherd ‏@SherriEShepherd Mar 27
After Jeffrey used 1st class bathroom...the @Virginamerica flight attendant put a rope across the aisle separating us (coach) from 1st class

Sherri Shepherd ‏@SherriEShepherd Mar 27
Not mad @VirginAmerica ..all airlines have the rule about coach not using 1st class bathrooms. Just teach attd'ts that there are exceptions

So apparently the attendant did make an exception but that wasn't enough for Sherri. The attendant should have made the exception based on no knowledge whatsoever and shouldn't have even spoken to Sherri.

Realitytvkids.com ~ Administrator said...

So they DID make an exception for her, so why is she bellyaching? Good grief. Get over it! If they made an exception for her, obviously they HAVE been taught exceptions can be made. And Sheri, it's normal to put a rope across first class or draw the curtains several minutes into the flight once things have settled in. I see it ALL...THE...TIME.

Narcissist, it was not just for you or for your son.

I never said we can plan for every situation without issues, anonymous.

Obviously, not every single snag can be avoided, that is not the point.

I will so enjoy the walk of shame to the elevator.

====

In Kate's case it will be the clomp of shame to the elevator. She's about as graceful as a water buffalo on roller skates, especially when she's wearing those Lady Gaga type platform shoes.

That walk of shame is always a hoot when it's one of the women who have been at each others throats who gets the boot. Some are pretty nasty and won't hug or say good-bye. The men seem to be much better sports about it.

Anyway, I can't wait to hear those three magic words either - Kate you're fired! - even though she should be used to hearing them by now.

Realitytvkids.com ~ Administrator said...

I swear I remember reading somewhere that those elevators don't go anywhere.

I just love the idea of that walk of shame to an elevator that just opens and shuts but never goes up or down. Like some sort of weird purgatory.

JMO said...

Millicent- I totally agree. Either purchase first class seats, or learn what mediocre people do and that you may have to wait to use bathrooms. Sherri wants it both ways, so her making her son use the coach bathroom an issue. Who does that? Totally ridiculous as SHE is the one who screwed up. Not the airline.

Is she evenly remotely aware of national requirements on national airline travel? And does she even care?

Purchase first class tickets if you are so offended as a millionaire. When you don't purchase first class tickets, stop acting like a victim and using your son when things did not go your way. Ridiculous!!

AuntieAnn said...

haha! The receptionist at the desk by the elevator doesn't seem to be going anywhere either. Some job. Not much work involved, maybe Kate should apply for it.

Once again thanks to this site, I've been introduced to another show I wouldn't ordinarily have watched...such as "Breaking Bad", "House of Cards", "Homeland", & some excellent documentaries.

We've just started watching "Suits". Anyone else watching? Before that, we enjoyed "Life on Mars", another British production.

My guess is DT will keep TFW on CA for a bit, for the notoriety factor. She clearly does not work well with others, and is lazy (exhausted all of the time), so some of her fellow contestants will throw her under the bus. Arriving late on your first day is not a good indicator. But DT does like to keep people on the show who create controversy and rating (Gary Busey), so she will probably survive a few rounds for ratings, so all of the world can see her flaws in working well with others.

My gut instinct, as we all know she does not like to work, unless in front of a camera, and even then she whines and complains. Think DWTS- I am going to win to win but her "exhaustishness, "and nasty attitude started almost right away, as well as final episodes.

Kate is not a team player in any way shape or form, so she will wield her ugly personality to the competitors in a short period of time. She simply can not handle anything beyond her control, and I think her final episodes of Kate Plus 8 clearly illustrated that as well as DWTS.

She is a horrid person, who takes hostages, and I hope all of the footage will show TFW for the person many people know she is. As a footnote, the other "celebrities" on CA will NOT put up with her BS, nor will DT, although he does want ratings. I predict she will be fired round 3 or 4 for ratings, but she is so much "not a team player," with little funding, her teammates will fry her.

One of the good things about Twitter is that you can follow someone briefly, then unfollow and that's that. For now, I'm following a few of the CA-ers and Leeza, unlike Kate,is quite visible. She's thanking fans for their birthday wishes and sharing pictures. She mentions going to the theater today - perhaps they aren't filming. The photo of her holding the birthday cake looks like it was taken on the CA set. So there's no reason on earth why Kate cant get out a tweet or three to her fans. Obviously, tweeting isn't prohibited.

Hydrangeas and roses delivered by Nate - he also gave me a beautiful new fragrance! My favorite things! http://instagram.com/p/mLYIBaRido/

She really is a lovely person. It shows.


Golly. I wonder what kind of flowers Steve gave Kate for her b/d.

Leeza has always seemed like a warm, kind person, and professional in her work. I also think she started an Alzheimer's Foundation in her mom's ( a sufferer) memory.I think she's quite attractive, too.

If the castmembers of CA get to go home upon being fired, then obviously they'll be seen out and about and it won't be a secret who has already been sent packing. Kate certainly wouldn't hole up in the McMansion for the entire time. And people love to tweet when they've seen her, so when she goes we should know roughly how far she made it

Not so fast. TFMJG will need at least a week of 'vacation' after she's fired. If she can get DT to cut her the $75,000 check (or $16,00--however much the payment really is) even better.

The photo of her holding the birthday cake looks like it was taken on the CA set. 112

Is is possible that Leeza got a cake and tfw didn't ? That seems unlikely.
Tfw seems to see everything as a competition and doesn't engage unless she's sure she'll win, e.g., racing against one of her kids.

The Kentucky Michigan game is GOOD!

Thanks, Win. How awfully embarrassing. I am pretty good at sports team names. Well, I knew it started with a W. lol

Hard fought 2 pointer by MI. Seemed like it took 10 minutes of rebounds under the basket to score. 27.0 seconds left.

Tied at 72 each. KY just hit a 3 pointer. 2.6 left. MI lost.

Awe. Man!

These two links have a few new pics from CA that (most of us) have not seen yet. Lots of jaw clenching and eye rolling, plus Kate's over use of Botox & fillers is especially evident. I think that may also be contributing to the receding hairline issue. The fillers seem to almost give her a swollen look, which only makes the forehead and cheeks seem in disproportion to the rest of her face. For the record though, I think most of the female contestants have really gone overboard on the injectables. None of them look younger, they just look like they have had too much Botox and fillers. I find the look strange, and counterintuitive to the purpose. I guess that's why I have wanted plastic surgery; if that's the best they can look with access to the best doctors, what the heck would happen to me in my (literal) neck of the woods? And don't even get me started on the make up...waaaaayyyyyy toooooo much on all of them.

Scroll to the bottom of this one to see a slide show of 23 pics. Warning: #6 out of 23 is especially scary!

Ps. I wonder wear she is going in that long camel colored coat and messy bun? And I also noticed in a few of the pics that some of the girls are wearing the same boots and leather leggings. I wonder if wardrobe is provided (I suspect yes), and also if they get swag or at least get to keep the wardrobe? That would explain her brand new blue uggs.

Ugh....auto correct strikes again...

That should have read: I would NOT want plastic surgery and "where" not wear. Sorry.
