Be sure to watch tonight as there will be a star studded cast of Olympians, mostly swimmers, taking part in the episode. Coughlin, Beard, Sandeno, Phelps, Crocker, and Krayzelburg just to name a few. I personally think that Trump is a pompous ass but I will watch tonight to see some of my heroes on TV.

Actually he trains very hard, including dryland work. At one point he was lifting so much weight on the lat pulldown that Mike Bottom was afraid it would be detrimental to his speed. And he has to adjust his insulin accordingly, which can be tricky under the circumstances.
I've boycotted watching this show since the episode (I think last season) where Trump fired the overconfident guy when he relinquished his immunity before the vote. It was at that point I realized Trump didn't care about any of the contestants (in my opinion) and was just interested in TV ratings.

You mean to tell me that you belive this show is really about ratings and ad revenue? Wouldn't that be unusual in the land of TV these days?

holy crap!.. that's EXACTLY what I did!... I think that was the only episode I saw, but when he fired that guy, it was totally obvious that it wasn't about finding the best person for the business, you're totally right!.. I stopped watching after that as well! lol...

C'mon, that was pretty stupid to give up his immunity. It was a good call. He wouldn't have won anyway.
perhaps not, but the decision to fire him wasn't based on what would be best for business, it was obvious Trump did it cause he saw an opportunity to get ratings, which obviously means it's good for his own business, but still pretty silly I thought, considering the others in question had made obvious actually business mistakes..
just my two cents :rolleyes:
