Ono · 19-02-2012, 18:55

I wish they would go back to doing a non-celeb one (less contrived) but always welcome the Donald back on TV.

Starts tonight

Know a few of the cast:

Spoiler:

Debbie Gibson, Arse Hall, Penn (no Teller), the (original) Hulk, the bird from the Mummy, Tia Carrere (sshwinnng) and Sulu

wooooohh!! was checking up the other day and didnt see anything about this new season. so a happy bunny now!

The Joan Rivers / Annie Duke killathon series is just airing on BBC tonight too. Funny to see how they start at so friendly.

good first episode, right person went in terms of the wrong team losing (in my opinion)

lots of people you have vageuely heard of, I like Aubrey (I remember her from Making the band), but who would be final 4, too soon to call. Patricia i think is good. bit too many at the start to distinguish the quieter ones out.

If you can get one person to bring in $300k on a fundraising task then your team deserves to win IMO. It was good that the chopper guy wasn't all talk.

As I expected, Penn seems to be really switched on, so I'd expect him to go far in the show.

Ivanka looked nice.

Liked Miss Universe too but she is way too nice to win this.

cjanderson · 21-02-2012, 08:02

don't know, its not like the rest of the men's team tried much (bar Clay and Penn) and really they could have done nothing and waited for that 1 person.

So to win you just need the richest friends (like John Rich last time i suppose). will be dull if all tasks won like that.

I think I gave up after series 1 or two, it's just the same thing no matter who the celebs are. I don't want to see who's got the most rich friends they can call up and exploit. It's essentially cheating which is nice for the charity but it makes a boring show. The challenges themselves are just so repetitive too, I'd love to see something that makes them creative, in business terms.

Debbie Gibson? I was thinking about her just the other day. I'm surprised she even merits a spot, at least I've heard of her unlike most of the other women

statto · 27-02-2012, 20:43

Penn = Class act.

Lisa = Classless.

Don't care what Gotti did, nothing could have saved the women's team from losing. A Real Housewives theme was never going to pick up any kids votes.

jab1990 · 27-02-2012, 21:14

I agree, i thought the theme was the main problem for the women as it didn't appeal to everyone.

Ono · 28-02-2012, 19:11

The women sure can bitch a lot.

Anyway, want to see Victoria Gotti as PM to see how much laundered money she can raise

Err.. have you not seen the last ep?

Ono · 28-02-2012, 19:22

Oh yeah

Why do the hot ones get voted out first

cjanderson · 05-03-2012, 19:28

victoria? hot? well each to their own

Loved debbie's face when she was told she was too old!

Go Aubrey as well, she is my fave. her and clay.

Mr Andretti could leave and i'd not notice him gone!

statto · 05-03-2012, 20:06

Once again the men (with the possible exception of Lou) show their class. When you compare the men's boardroom with the previous two weeks it's pretty damning of the women's team (and it looks like more of the same next week).

The right person went this week.

scoobyood · 06-03-2012, 18:52

The men won that, the women's window was a mess. They must have just let the women win to keep it balanced.

Ono · 06-03-2012, 21:07

I agree that the men's concept was much better. The use of twins was inspired.

Having said that, glad Dayana didn't lose asshe is almost as hot as Victoria and Lisa.

So, the women somehow win. TYpical of Trump to lead everyone up the garden path and then flip the result.

The Incredible Hulk is a bit poor. He just moans about not being used all the time and really should have gone. Adam Corrola was certainly one of the stronger ones.

Absolutely ridiculous. They picked the presentation with the dozy cow who got the name of the car wrong and lied about having a dead mother in a car accident... wtf? No wonder their car looks like a plastic piece of ****.

As for the Mario vs Adam project manager thing. The company had obviously set it up with the show's producers to get the 'Andretti brand' to pimp their crappy car on prime time tv... and for the bargain price of 30K. So when that didn't work out, they had their noses out of joint and gave it to the women. That's extremely sleazy.

Adam was the better fit for the presenter and Mario better as the 'expert'. Like many racing drivers he's a little soft spoken and not loud or pushy. What's wrong with that? The way Adam had set it up, with Mario as an honoured guest along with the car, is exactly how he would be used in a professional event like this.

I'm not saying the men's presentation was perfect, but compared to the women's it was a masterpiece. They were robbed and as a result this show's 'brand' lost a sizeable chunk of it's value. Well done Mr Trump.
