Q: How much do you hate Omorosa?
A: Omorosa is a total phony...great at putting on the good face to get in the door, but sucks at execution and that leads to her getting shown the door. On top of being a liar and a complete bitch, she's an absolute moron. My condolences to Mr. Omorosa...poor guy is probably a little slow in the head to be married to her.
Q: Did Bill pick the right job?
A: Yes. Definitely. The Chicago is in his home town and the building will become part of the city skyline and could one day come to become one of the symbols of Chicago similar to San Francisco's TransAmerica buiilding or New York's Empire State building. While the golf course would have had the nice views and great weather, it would have been just another course...a building has more impact on a populatiion than a golf course.
Kwame, showed his true colors in the last episode. He stepped up his game and deserved to win except for his Omorosa decision. Just choosing her before others shows extremely poor judgement. Letting her get away with murder and not reacting shows that he may be a a little too mellow (although it sounded like he did want to fire her). In the end, Kwame probably has enough job offers to last him a whilee, but it still would have been nice to see him win (eventhough I was rooting for Bill the whole way).

OMOROSA IS A MR ED ON CRACK IN THE WORDS OF JANICE DICKINSON!!! GO JANICE! YOU WON THE BATTLE! STRONG BLACK WOMAN??? I THINK NOT, MORE LIKE FAKE BLACK WOMAN!! IF SHE WOULD PULL HER HEAD OUT OF HER ASS AND GET HER DAMN GRILL FIXED SHE MIGHT MAKE SOMETHING OF HERSELF.

Why hate Omorosa?? I find her a very confident,smart,educated woman.Look a little deeper and you will also see,sensitivity and compassion.
Omorosa, you have my vote.Most people do not like a confident, strong woman.It intimidates them.Maybe she would be better liked if she stayed barefoot and pregnant waiting on a man.

I too am from South Africa. However I have to disagree with the other South African who says Omorasa is "straight talking". How can that be said of someone who blatently lies on TV!I think it is a very sad state of affairs when someone who lies on national TV can still be succesful. At least Bill & Kwame have integrity, which Omorasa is sorely lacking in. For those of you who want to make it a race issue, there are plenty of strong, succesful black people who are shining examples of leaders. Unfortunately Omorasa is not one of them - and that has nothing to do with her colour.

I am not American, in fact I'm in South Africa and I know Omarosa is one of the most straight talking and confrontational people I know. And many people fear both confrontation and the truth.
So Omarosa must come to South Africa. Where we've had 'the truth and reconciliation'

Omorosa .... haha. The comments above speak pretty much for itself...
Lawrence | October 14, 2004 08:24 AM
This woman epitomizes the "I'm getting over on the world" mindset. She feels that she can con and manipulate anyone and once they're ask to be accountable for their actions, its everyone elses fault, racism, etc. It's sad commentary that this African American con artist was able to and continues to get attention on national tv.
Now the name "OMAROSA" has become a word associated with people who are liars, schemers, con artists and/or have an over inflated opinion of themselves.

Did anyone see Ogrerosa on the Tonight Show last night? My God, she looks like an ugly man wearing makeup, on steroids. She burned Kwame good in the final "Apprentice" show and then lies about it to Jay Leno. OGREROSA GO AWAY!!!! Your 15 minutes of fame ended BEFORE the last "Apprentice" show.

Thanks to all who responded. While this has taken up entirely too much time, I felt the need to comment that I believe that we all have a responsibility to do our best and not rely upon non-issues such as race or backround in order to justify or excuse any inadequacies, shortcomings or poor performance. I believe that that the latter is exactly what Omorosa has done, probably throughout her life with her behavior not only having been tolerated but has been rewarded and thereby reinforced.
On the show, and I expect elsewhere, she repeatedly messed up, and whenever she is or was called on it, and I suspect not nearly often enough, she plays the victim by alleging racism. Now it seems to me that you either do your job or you don't, regardless of color. That's it. End of story.
I seem to remember something about the need and right to be judged by the content of our character rather than the color of our skin.
Anything else is true racism, in my opinion.

I AM "STILL" SHOCKED!
I attended Central State University with Omi back in 95. She was Ms. CSU that year. She has totally disgraced herself, family, friends, alumni, professors, teammates, co-workers, and whomever else knows her personally. (Was that grammatically correct?)
Omi played on the volleyball team at CSU. I am still baffled about her panic-attack regarding a frickin piece of plaster. Omi was completely selfish on the "Apprentice". She never took into consideration the "main" group of people she represented: African-American women. She has given an image to the world that black women are liars, lazy and incompetent, regardless of how many degrees we obtain. I hope that people of other nationalities/races do not believe that Omi represented all black women of America. She certainly does not represent ME!
Loquacious | May 14, 2004 11:28 AM
Unoyalldidn!!
Wa is wrong with a perpetually perturbed, tooth-sucking, eye-rolling, finger-wagging harpy, creating confrontations in her wake and perceiving racial slights from the flimsiest of provocations? Cant a sista move on up to the East Side too??
Yall just angry cause Sista girl brought the brother-man down.
Shit!
He be all uppitty wit whitey

Ummm...the word "skank" comes to mind, though that would perhaps insult skanks. There is a sense of entitlement about her, to which she of course has not earned (it's not surprising that she threw a hissy at the airport). Unfortunately, we DO know who she is. A total loser, tolerated far too long in jobs where her employer simply could no longer tolerate her incompetence and shiftless, slothlike behavior, and finally canned her. She has simply gotten away with trading on her color and attitude, and has cowed others into letting her slide far too long simply because she is black. There seems to be a lack of cojones in this country...you can't discipline let alone fire anyone who is a member of a self-declared "group," lest you be called a racist.
Omorosa quite clearly has a chip on her shoulder, and if, God forbid you were to ask her, "Pardon me, would you please pass the salt?," she would no doubt reply, "Oh...you don't want the pepper because it's black!" You surely recall the episode where someone said to her, "That's (or you're) the pot calling the kettle black," with Omorosa's response being, "That's another racist remark," or something equally idiotic to that effect.
Anyway, good for the American Airlines agent who put her ass back in coach where she belonged, according to her ticket (and her persona).
Let us get to the place where we are truly colorblind, and reward excellence and decry whining, victimization and incompetence.

She i now this year's cry baby according to bob costas, she's just a bitch, i hate her!!
maria | May 8, 2004 10:20 AM
Yes, she made the show interesting, just as you slow down to see a gory car accident. Being a loud mouthed, obstentatious, condescending bitch seems to come very natural to her. I would never buy any product or watch any show that she is connected with. Ughhh!
Patricia | May 4, 2004 01:01 PM
Omorosa, well....what can I say? She's a time bomb waiting to explode! Poor kid...All that education and she still acts as if she was ten years old! Omorosa, grow up! You think your hubby would have sense to tell you..I guess he's enjoying riding your coat tails with your fame and soon to be fortune! Stop with the "racial" non-sense also...Only in America!
Lon | May 3, 2004 06:21 AM
OK LETS ALL JUMP ON THE " I HATE OMOROSA BANDWAGON" OMOROSA IS A WELL EDUCATED EXTREMELY ARTICULATE WOMAN WHO WILL BE AN ASSET TO ANYONES TEAM. THE BOTTOM LINE IS IT'S TELEVISION. THE CONTROVERSY HELPED BOOST RATINGS WHETHER YOU BELEIVE IT OR NOT. AND YES PEOPLE IT IS CONCEIVABLE THAT THE PRODUCER OF "THE SHOW" APPROACHED OMOROSA AND SHALL WE SAY COACHED, RECOMMEND,SUGGESTED THAT SHE TAKE ON THAT ROLE. I BELEIVED ONE THING LED TO ANOTHER AND THEY RAN WITH IT. IF YOU RECALL FROM THE BEGINNING, OMOROSAS' CHARACTER WAS VERY DIFFERENT. INFACT, IN MY OPINION,SHE WAS A TOP CONTENDER. IF NOTHING ELSE SHE SHOULD DEFINATELY GET AN ACTING CAREER OUT OF IT. OMOROSA'S ROLE WAS STAGED!!!!! SHE A SMART GIRL EDUCATED BLACK WOMEN ARE NOT THAT STUPID TRUST ME.
CONTRARY TO "POPULAR OPINION"
GENE | May 2, 2004 01:41 AM
Are you kidding me? Get over the race issue...her being black has nothing to do with her incompetence. Race has nothing to do with it. If race did have a part to play, why was Kwame in the final? And why did Donald think so highly of Kwame?
You see it's like this...Omorosa likes to talk about the things "she's done" and "capable" of, but when it comes down to crunch time, you saw what happened. She freaked out. She lost her cool. She plainly, boldly lied. Why do people seem to think this is a symbol of being a "strong, opinionated black woman"? If that's what people equate to being strong and opiniated, I'd hate to see what standards they use to judge incompetence and lack of ethics!
Those of you who like Omorosa, I salute you for your extreme idiocy. You should try to hire her to sink your business and give you the run around when you ask why her tasks were not completed. For the rest of the working world, I think we see people like Omorosa everyday...those that put on the "I know what I'm doing and you don't" but really don't know what they're doing act...those people that use their credentials and name dropping to try to get ahead. Those of us who have experienced our own "Omorosas" know that this is not a matter of being "strong or opinionated." It's a matter of a person screwing up other people's work and not owning up to their actions which is exactly what Omorosa did and probably will continue to do.
Tommy | April 30, 2004 05:19 PM
Don't be hatin'. Omorosa was robbed! That Trump dude is a racist who hates strong, opinionated black women. I still don't know how she lasted that long on the show. I thought her outspoken views would get her fired immediately. You go girl.
Otis | April 30, 2004 09:19 AM
Omorosa is the poorest example of a capable business woman or a strong black woman that I have ever seen. She is lazy, incompetent and a bitch. The lies are unacceptable. And the race card? Please!! When all else fails, and for Omorosa all else will fail, it's the only leg she has to stand on. She needs to accept her 15 minutes of infamy and disappear!!!!!!
Susanne | April 28, 2004 11:31 AM
Actually Anna, I think most people hate Omorosa because she's a lying, pretentious bitch. Condolezza Rice is a strong, black woman. Nevertheless, this has nothing to do with her skin color or her "strength." She pretty much lied through her gap teeth about everything (her background, her abilities, etc.). So you tell us...do you think Omorosa really is strong? Does making an ass of yourself by lying through your teeth make you strong?
Tommy | April 26, 2004 07:06 AM
Could it be that all the people that claim to hate Omirosa's guts be intimidated by the strong BLACK female that she is, she didn't resort to using her body like the other girls did when Plan A didn't work because that seemed to be all they had going for them.
Anna | April 26, 2004 05:44 AM
The apple doesn't fall far from the tree --
When you've got complete asses and blatant liars like Bill Clinton in the White House, you can only imagine the type of people like Omorosa who work for him.
Not a surprise at all -- should definately not be a surprise to any democrats, who are a bunch of liars and cheats. Wouldn't be surprised if Omorosa cheats and lies to her husband too.
Nancy | April 23, 2004 08:21 PM
she says she wants to go into politics, well she's got the lying down pat!!!
david | April 23, 2004 04:59 PM
Hmmm...makes me want to find a reason to sue Detroit. But seriously, I think there may be a few thousand Omorosas running CA as we're in the hole for 20 billion. Maybe it's the Omorosas of the world that are the ones who have power...go figure.
Tommy | April 23, 2004 03:50 PM
Omorosa is a lawsuit waiting to happen. I work for the City of Detroit, and there are dozens of people like her around me. Any little mishap is grounds for civil action. Detroit is known for paying off BIG money in lawsuits against the city. Why do you think we are $333 MILLION in the hole right now. Omorosa needs to GO AWAY, and never be heard from again.
