Then you probably should have said this in the beginning when I asked "you don't see any opportunity here?" A simple answer could have been "yes, I see the opportunity for a money raising charity event". But, you had to go all "serious".

No matter what length of time it's been after release, Meat has said he isn't done yet and WE aren't done yet.
At least I enlightened you to the fact that there could be a positive break for HCTB with this exposure. Glad to help.

The purpose of every task on the show is to raise money for charity, with the money going to the charity chosen by the project manager whose team wins that week.

You mean like Rod Blagojevich? That was easy, considering he is a complete buffoon!

I'm from Illinois- the only reason I watched was so that I could hear Donald say, "Rod, you're fired". It didn't take very long, needless to say.

Exactly like Rod Blagojevich. I'm sure if they wanted to they could've portrayed him better, but he was an easy target and I'm sure they took great delight in emphasizing his mistakes. If Meat gets off to a bad start or starts going off on a tangent like he's prone to do in interviews, I don't think the producers are going to be that sympathetic if it makes good TV.

That was bad enough, but the absolute lowest for me was when he tried to shake down a children's hospital by refusing to give them State funds unless they gave him a campaign contribution. I already couldn't stand him for other reasons, so I felt absolutely no pity for him when he went down. And then the arrogance he's shown since it all happened just disgusts me.

They put him on trial, which lasted for months (he declined to testify on his own behalf, probably a smart thing, because he would have dug himself a hole, and I'm sure his lawyers knew it), and then the jury only managed to convict him on one count (after deliberating for I don't know how long), and were hung on the rest due to one holdout. So, now we get to do the whole thing over again. Only this time, the judge said he can't have his high-paid lawyers anymore. I can't imagine he has anything left to pay them with, anyway. The only ones I feel for are his two young daughters (his wife's involved in some shady dealings as well). Amazingly, he still maintains his innocence, and even made claims that he's going to run for office again.

I think the only reason he did The Apprentice was to try to garner some sympathy from the public. It didn't work with me, anyway. It was clear on the show that certain of his teammates didn't care much for him, either. I mean, the dude couldn't send an e-mail, and his excuse was that as Governor, he had thousands of people working for him, and he didn't need to know how to do that? Give me break! He sure knew how to work a telephone, though!

Record some footage while you're there. I'm not making a trip to New York just to see Meat selling Pizzas.

[AndrewG]

Did he not say he was a vegetarian again recently? One Margherita please.

[melon]

Its blocked by bbc in Australia..... damn.

[AndrewG]

Basically it's a video of some Apprentice clowns trying to get away with serving up half pizzas in a restaurant. Bunch of muppets. They didn't really get away with it. It's a good thing it's blocked. I shouldn't have to pay TV license for a bunch of Ozzie freeloaders. (Just joking!)

[melon]

Ha ha I was just assuming it was a clip of Meat doing the pizza thing.... but now I realise this is impossible, he hasn't done it yet!!!

Possibly, but I think it would be a mistake to apply Meat going off at a tangent in the countless interviews he has to do with the way he'd approach something like this. He's sharp, focused and hugely competitive. He'll want to win, and in my view will put the same focus on objectives, planning, detail, budgets, and end result to the tasks as he does to a show. Imo he's creative, a high energy deliverer, adaptive, a task finisher, and has the ability to enthuse others and keep going.

I know whose team I'd rather be in .. because I'd believe we were in with a stong chance of winning It's the people who have no sense of focus who generally let themselves down and are made to look foolish. Success is hard to edit out

Meat may never forget he's there to entertain .. but he doesn't lose focus when he's competing!

That statement is proven by what example? and please don't say golf

I don't question Meats focus and drive to use the opportunity to make as much money as possible for his chosen charity, I question how he might be made to look on TV for ratings.
