OK, sounds like a deal. Better send Hugh and Omarosa on different planes, though – not sure they’d get on…

Bill, that’s fantastic! Tell you what… we’ll keep Piers if you take Omarosa. Heck, we’ll even let you have Hugh Laurie back if you take Omarosa!

Stoney, now that Piers has won do you think you guys can keep him on that side of the Atlantic? We really don’t want him back over here, especially as there’s been a rumour that he might be on the next season of our version of Celebrity Apprentice.

You’re welcome to Simon Cowell too, though we’d quite like Hugh Laurie of “House” back at some stage, please

Stoney … I agree … that would be a fun & educational season.
It would be like an “All Star” game.

I really thought that Trump was going to give the win to Trace. In this game it really could have gone either way… it’s not like Trump is hiring the guy. I was surprised that he didn’t. I don’t know if Trump was knocking Piers or just trying to keep him in his place.

I agree, I enjoyed this season, but I don’t know how much more of it I can handle. It just doesn’t feel real enough for me, at least in terms of holding true to the concept of the show. It’s a great novelty. I’d like to see one where they bring back past winners or past final 4s. to compete against each other. That could be fun.

Stoney … didn’t it seem that Trump was putting down Pierce in the final? It seemed as if he really didn’t want Pierce to win this thing and yet he had to award him the prize.

I was a never a “huge” fan of Trump. For some reason I would not buy his ties, shirts or anything else and for some reason I do not favor his hotels if I travel. I don’t know why … maybe it’s all the hype around it that doesn’t get to me. I do however respect his success and I am sure that people can learn a lot from him.

I didn’t like him saying that “Pierce is great but maybe not brilliant”. So let me see ….. every season when there were 3 people left in the game he called them all brilliant and Pierce is not?

Then during the speech near the troops, Trump said that he is not as courageous as those men and women and neither is Pierce. I mean … Donald …. speak for your self. What’s with the comments? It was clear that there were tensions between Trump and Pierce.

I was disappointed with Trace. When he said he’ll get a jet and get country stars into NYC I thought … oh now he is going to shine. Who did he bring? 5 people? He over promised and under-delivered.

Overall, I enjoyed the season and will definitely watch the next one. I think the “celebrity” machine will live on longer than when it was just us … “regular folks”
