Trump Axes Carolyn

Carolyn Kepcher, who's sober no nonsense demeanor played well against the flambouyant Donald Trump, has been fired. It was Kepcher, who called the women's team to task for winning projects by using their sexuality. The seriousness of Carolyn and her counterpart George Ross, I believe gave the Apprentice a credibility that Trump alone could not have. It made the show popular with people who probably generally disliked so-called reality programming.
Trump spokesman Jim Dowd confirmed the firing to Newsday magazine saying "Mr Trump wishes her the best." Posted by Picasa

I agree.
I don't mind seeing Ivanka filling in, but the show needs someone in the board room with the business and experiance and savvy that Carolyn provided. I'm really disappointed

I wonder if the show really has a future. It looks like networks are moving away from reality programming except for American Idol and some of the more successful shows.
You know that Ivanka and Jr Trump won't challenge the Donald on the show. They don't want to lose their allowance.
Of course from the standpoint of the business, It remains to be seen. Trump could keep the position open and put the winner of the show in her spot.
Thank you for your comments, it's not the same without your imput :)
