Sorry but I thought that was hilarious and just got funnier as the interview went on

You really need to take more water with it lol, relax, it's only tv and not real life!!

**allrevvedup** · 16 Apr 2011, 13:37

ok so it's one of the following a) to continue to promote the show b) big shock they don't like each other ('oh no, whatever will we do') c) both

CarylB · 16 Apr 2011, 13:38

Well thanks but no thanks as far as the clip is concerned. I've seen enough of Busey's posturing and swimming for the shore to last me a lifetime.

I'm not in the least surprised by the line you quote. This is imo a completely self-focused individual who is milking al the publicity he can get on the heels of his CA appearance and the contretemps with Meat, and probably some damage repair, as it became very clear in last week's episode just how disruptive and distracting his presence is in the team, how his utter concentration on himself and his own agenda comes close to sabotage of their efforts, and how manipulative and suddenly focused he becomes in the boardroom. All those he was working with on CA were united in condemning his behaviour; now all he can do is attempt to convince the public they "ganged up" on him, try to elicit sympathy by talking about the minute or so when he can be made to look the innocent victim, and in using that make rude and negative comments about the man who I agree with when he says his loss of composure gave Busey his best platform in years.

He crossed the line? Imo he's been over the line for a long time, probably doesn't know what or where it is, and wouldn't recognise it if you held it up in front of him. I don't think he can see much beyond himself, his own feelings, thoughts and ideas.

This is the best opportunity he's had in ages I suspect, so I'm not surprised at all. Some may drink it up, most will just laugh. Best thing to do if it upsets you is to just ignore it and not save it to your hard drive

Just walk on by.

Oh my God, he is so delusional. They are jealous of him? He's got to be kidding. And all those ridiculous comments he was making at the end, I have seen emails making the same jokes a few times, they are not even original. He is just a broken record and like Caryl says, milking all the publicity he can get for all it's worth while it lasts because in a few weeks he will be yesterdays news.

LMAO I start to like Busey more and more. The guy is funny as hell!

And well, the Meat Loaf thing... Gary does everything right here. People have already made their judgement (nobody except the fans here are behind Meat) and Busey is doing a good job finishing Meat off. No matter what the outcome of the show is Meat's outburst is what will be remembered. Oh well, Gary is funny though

I'm sure someone predicted such an outcome months ago but was shouted down...

Adje · 16 Apr 2011, 17:00

I guess because nobody knew the context of the scene.

But it's obvious when someone goes beserk on national tv this way there isn't much to justify it. And from what was aired there was no justification whatsoever for the meltdown.

finishing Meat off

Gary wasn't "Finishing Meat off", because Meat's not in a fight with him. its only a war if you have an enemy. In a battle of self-conflict, the biggest idiot always loses...

By staying out of the spotlight, Meat is kicking ass! Gary hates the fact that Meat wont fight back and STRETCH out this farce...

Best Be to forget about Gary!

Flake · 16 Apr 2011, 18:38

Do not argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and kick your ass with experience.

This is the biggest delayed reaction to a confrontation I've ever seen. Gary was deadpan when Meat expressed himself months ago when the show was taped. Now Gary is publicly baiting him on whatever publicity he's mustering up. Gary can't just laugh it off because he is beginning to crumble with each episode the Apprentice airs. Meat got his frustrations out and is done with it, he won't be baited again. Lesson learned.

exactly. so who cares, busey's true colors are already starting to show

As far as I'm concerned, Gary was being a ~~~~hole on the apprentice, he got told by Meat Loaf, and now Gary's whining like he's the victim. Its coming full circle already, and the more Gary interviews surface, people will wonder if there is another side. Then Meat will turn up on some talk shows when the timing is right, and he will provide the other side of the story, but he will be respectful to Gary in doing so, because that is who Meat is. People will probably take note of that.

That's exactly right, Meat has shown far more class than Gary has throughout this whole incident. Gary is coming across worse and worse with each episode that airs. And from the previews I've seen for this weeks one, John Rich calls him out on being a sabateur for the group. I think gradually the tide will turn in Meat's favour and when the time is right, he will tell what really happened, while not disrespecting Gary in the process, because that's the type of man he is.

its so funny really, Gary enjoy your 15 minutes. you may even get a movie from it? its easy going on tv and crying to newspapers, but when you were in the same room as Meat you ran off scared? you wanted no part of Meat. man up and go say it to Meats face. Gary Your Fired!!!!!

LOL. You'd almost forget that the show is all about raising money for charity

you would almost forget MLUKFC is a place for Meat Loaf fans?

Adje · 17 Apr 2011, 00:08

You'd almost forget people can have different opinions on what they think is best for Meat

Wario · 17 Apr 2011, 00:16

You'd both almost forget that this is a LCA thread, not a "Youd almost forget" thread

Yup, just trying to point out that another opinion doesn't mean 'against Meat'

So what was this about again? I forgot
