Man was I disappointed with tonight's finale to Trump's TV show, The Apprentice. He picked the safe bet in Kelly, the ex-millitary guy instead of the fireball passionate and brilliant Jennifer!

Here's more about Jen (Click the link to Meet Jen to watch movie clip of her).
Here is the official website for the show with lots of pix and background info.

I am wondering if I truly believed that Jen was the best candidate or was I just smitten by her sizzling looks and sexy persona. Am I that low of a lifeform to let my little head think for the big one? I had hoped that I'd matured and evolved beyond such base instincts and animalistic behavior, but maybe not! I mean, 8 out of the 10 people that Trump asked whom they would pick chose Kelly over Jen! It wasn't even close.

Another thing that ticks me off was how cruel Mr. Trump was to Jen. In the previous season, he told the winner "You're Hired!" but for some unknown reason he decided to rub salt in Jen's wounds (for all the world to see on national television) by telling her "You're Fired!" I know he did it in order to add some element of surprise to what was an obvious no brainer decision, but instead it made him look like a major jack ass.

I know, I know...it's only a TV show and she will parlay her success and exposure from the show into big time bucks. Still, it could have been done with a bit more class and respect if you ask me. She earned that much respect by making the final two after a million people applied to be on the show!

Anyway, part of me wonders if I wanted her to win because she had the right stuff in her heart and head rather than just the right stuff in her face and body. I would like to think that it's the former rather than the latter. A similar thing happened last season when I was pulling for the hottie on season one. By the end of the series I had decided that despite all her beauty and business savvy, she did not have what it took to run a Trump company. I was kind of glad when she was fired, despite the fact that it meant I wouldn't get to see her lovely visage anymore on the show.
I didn't feel that way with Jen. I found her very beautiful, but also very smart, tough and a leader. Obviously, the people that Trump trusts and respects didn't think so.

Trump did good. Always hire the man. Im sure he will hire her in another manner...

Until you stop loving beautiful women- (And I know you can't or you'll be kicked out of your heritage) you will always be influenced by the women. The attraction is also a weakness. But wouldn't you rather have this beautiful woman working with you rather than some guy. If she’s hot and can do a good job, SHE'S IN as far as I'm concerned.

@Bolo
LOL...true to form...another Boloism... I don't believe that you really believe that. Sometimes a woman can be the better man for a job.

@Napalm
LMAO...yes, we paisans are cursed by our immense passion for women, huh? Some would call us horn dogs, but that's such an ugly term.
We just appreciate the glory that is woman....no?

By the way, there was a special on 20/20 not that long ago where they conducted some experiments on the impact that looks play when it comes to business and success. They sent an average looking man and a handsome man to apply for the same job with similar credentials and resumes. In every instance, the better looking man got the job offer! They then stranded an average looking woman on the road and an attractive woman. Not surprisingly, no one helped the average looking woman but many people (men AND women) went out of their way to help the pretty woman!!! They did other experiments with the same disturbing and pathetic results. It seems as if good looking people get an unfair advantage to many things in life. Guess it's just human nature.

@ paisano

Oh my god yes. I am still amazed at the beauty of women! I sometimes wonder if I'm f'd-up cause I still worship the woman. I just don't persue any of them anymore. My wife is awesome. Good position for my wife to be in though. NO, no, horn-dog is good I'll accept that. Arf, ruff, woof, woot, bark, whatever. XD Nap

I kinda felt last week that Kelly was going to get it after that whole interview process. During that board meeting Trump's associates kept saying, "Kelly, Kelly, Kelly." Guess that's why I forgot to watch the last episode since it was pretty much over in my book.

Now as far as "the beautiful people" getting all the breaks, I think it's mostly true. Of course, that doesn't mean their able to take advantage of it all the time and sometimes their personality/attitude ruins it. But if two candidates were basically equal, I can see people going for the "pretty" one.

And you may enter me under the "horn dog" catagory as well. ;)

Maybe we should have a horn dog team! I call dibbs!!

WOOF! WOOF!!!
:)

Attractive women are "graded" constantly by the men and women around them. It is all relative to the environment you are in.

If I meet a group of men and women for the first time and I am smartly dressed, let's say a power business suit with a moderately short skirt, they will have a certain impression of me. Then if I take that EXACT same outfit, and raise the hem on the skirt a few inches, not like a trashy micro-mini, just an absolute mini-skirt, a couple of things happen;
---> I suddenly lose intellectual credibility with a percentage of the men.
---> I suddenly gain popularity with a percentage of the men (including some of the men with whom I lost credibility).
---> I am suddenly a slut to a majority percentage to the women.

As I said, this is all relative to your environment. The same business suit with the mini in a dance club, and I suddenly look like a prudish old woman.

Beauty and sensuality are strange companions. If you have too much sensuality in your persona, you are labeled in a myriad of unpleasant ways.... And as I said, you actually LOSE intellectual credibility by being too sexy in your mannerisms and dress.

Oh well, I could go on forever about this topic....

So what's your point? (As in Austin Powers--) "But what does it all mean Basil?)

Well Mr. Napalm... My point is..... Errrr.... Ummmm.... Well.....

Rats.... I don't really have a point... But it IS an interesting observation.... No?
:-)

Katherine

I was so happy when "blinky" got canned...

@ Tankgirl

Of course (and Speaking as President of the new HornDog clan) it's always interesting when a woman talks about hiking up her skirt for whatever reasons. Whether it's to prove a point or if it's IQ related.... We'll I don't relly care. I'm a guy, who cares about that stuff? JK

Of course, if I see a woman with un-godly beauty, She's automatically in--- If she is intelligent and funny, There's no stopping her in my opinion.

But everybody likes nice stuff right? Nice car, nice shoes, nice home, nice computer system, nice job. Why should physical beauty be any different?

Napalm

HornDogs united!

Mystery Man...

Jennifer has her moments. Her face is not truly beautiful, but at the right angle and with the right makeup, "she cleans up nice". She has more of a glamourous face than a beautiful face. (The individual parts of her face are not great, but they kind of work together)

I think the main thing that detracts me from her beauty is what I saw of her personality in the show. I didn't like the way she handled herself, a bit of a turnoff.

If I can convince Caryn (the love of my life) to let me post a picture of her, you will see and absolutely beautiful and sexy face (and body) that looks incredible from every angle, with, or without makeup.

@TG
That's a good summation of Jen. I agree totally. I still think she was the better choice for Trump too.
The other guy was a stiff. Good at taking orders (as in the military) but he won't be as good a leader as jen would have been (and will be on her own as she will parlay this exposure into major financial gain).

Last season's blonde bombshell was a true beauty... I forget her name. But she wasn't as intelligent.
