15. Trump may own a stake in the show, but Mark Burnett controls everything

And the network (NBC) said it could not legally release any footage without Burnett's nod.

If there are other tapes, then release them.

Otherwise, shut the fuck up.

But it just reminds me of all the Anonymous teasers, the WikiLeaks teasers etc.

Put up or shut up. (Not you of course)

The executive producer owns them and is getting pressure to release them. It wouldn't surprise me if NBC is betting then first though as to protect themselves. After all, they let him sexually harass all sorts of workers for years.

behind the scenes at this stupid reality show. Drumpf continuously harassed the women who worked on this show and NO ONE thought this was of any importance. And all those years of promoting beauty pageants. How many girls were victims of this jerk over two decades, because you know that was his reason for being involved with it, not the money. My God, what have we become as country? Who could watch this going on day after day and continue as tho nothing was wrong?

liked to see the girls changing clothes, even though men were not allowed back there.

He said he could pretend to be checking that everything was okay, and thus get to ogle undressed contestants that way.

22. My First Thought When I Heard Drumpf Was Going To Run

One of my good friends has been enamored with Sniffles The Clown since the day he declared his candidacy (the extent to which he's become a Drumpf fanboy is a topic for another discussion, but it's really disturbing). In our discussions, I told him that there was no way Drumpf could EVER be elected President. When he asked me why, I told him that this is a guy who's been in the public eye, doing talk shows and giving interviews and putting his face in the media in every conceivable way for over 30 years. Just imagine what kinds of things exist on all those hours and hours of tapes he's put out there.

At the time, all I knew was that he was at one time a Democrat and supported most of the Democratic positions on things like abortion and the economy. I figured those comments alone would have caused all the hardcore right-wingers to run screaming from him. Little did I know what all else was lurking out there in all those tapes.

I just think it was funny that I expected his history of recorded conversations to keep him from ever making a serious run at the White House. Little did I know he would make it this far, and that something like THIS would be the thing that surfaced to derail his candidacy.
