The Apprentice Insider: 1...2...3 Strikes You're Out

Jen Hoffman, The ApprenticeEvery week on BuddyTV, former Apprentice contestant Jenn Hoffman will share her unique insights on the current season.  Find out what happened in last night's boardroom from someone who has actually been there.

"It's a terrible world!"

Those were the words straight from Donald Trump's mouth right after firing Jennie Finch. And he is so right. This now makes 3 out of 4 episodes in which an Impresario member is fired simply for general suckiness, rather than for doing something specifically wrong. Last week Gene Simmons was fired with purpose, but Jennie Finch was simply out-bitched by the claw wielding clan we call Omarosa, Nelly, Carol and Marilu. Frankly, I wasn't sad to see her go.

Jennie seems like a nice person, but she didn't give us a real reason to root for her. Or perhaps more accurately, the producers didn't give me a reason to root for her. Maybe it was the editing, but she seemed quiet, reserved and worst of all…sane. Fortunately for viewers, sanity is definitely not a requirement for becoming The Apprentice. So let the train wreck begin!

The innocent little lambs have been slaughtered and only the she-wolves are left. The men are all awesome and horrible and goofy and somehow winning every week, so I don't care about them right now. Let's talk about the remaining ladies:

Omarosa: The woman we all love to hate. I bet some days she wakes up and wonders “How the hell did I become one of the most notoriously evil personalities in television history?” Omarosa is a strong woman who is full of surprises on television and in real life. But as Nathaniel Hawthorne wrote “No man, for any considerable period, can wear one face to himself and another to the multitude, without finally getting bewildered as to which one is true.”

On a personal note, I was actually rooting for Omarosa until I heard she is upset with me for writing THIS. (See paragraph three). Apparently some kids were traumatized by the suggestion that Omarosa eats kittens. Please. Now I can't wait to see her ass get fired. Godspeed, Lady O!

Nely Galan: Whoaaa Nely. Rumor has it; she is a very impressive woman. Too bad she hasn't performed as well on The Apprentice as in real life. Actually, I take that back. Narrowly avoiding your firing for like, 100 weeks in a row, just because Trump heard you kick ass in real life is pretty awesome. Nely deserved to be canned millions of times for an assortment of compelling reasons, but she is just too dynamic to fire. Her previous boardroom adversaries were too scared to attack her, but the remaining competitors won't be so shy. The men are not afraid to fight and they will go for her jugular. I think Nely can win The Celebrity Apprentice, but her edit has been iffy, so we'll see.

Carol Alt: I like her now. She is not afraid of anyone and speaks her mind. Plus, she looks like a hot cougar. Team Carol!

Marilu Henner: Who knew Marilu has such an awesome body? She is hocking her diet and lifestyle products on http://www.marilu.com. Hot bod aside, so far the former Taxi star has proven to be a great teammate and a good project manager. She led her team to the first (almost) victory, and seems to have the respect of her team. Her smartest move so far was to keep her yap shut in the boardroom last night. She stayed out of the line of fire by letting Jennie Finch sink her own ship. And we all know strategic silence is golden in the boardroom.

Who is your favorite remaining member of Impresario?
