Edited on Sun Apr-10-05 03:57 PM by Bluebear
Who is still an active contestant, arrested for disorderly conduct when he threw a fit in a Tampa hotel after being charged for an item he thought was free, per CNN.

11. The shows were taped months ago.
The contestants are supposed to stay out of sight until the finale airs live.

8. Charged for something he thought was free?
Sounds like a Repug to me. But, they want everything for free don't they.

5. Why hasn't Chris been fired yet?
The only reasons that I can think of is that Trump thinks that by not firing him he is generating more ratings and/or in a perverse way Trump is getting a kick out him.

9. really ! no explanation. Can you imagine him screaming at
Carolyn in a Trump meeting? He had a foul screaming fit a couple times, lost the credit card, and chews tobacco. Jeesh...

17. yep

That whole group Chris was in- 'Network'- was chock full of relatively bad candidates. Trump really had so many of them to choose from every time they screwed up- which was every time they've touched anything, really- that there was no embarrassment to Trump to firing any of them. Of course he decided to do it in a way that maximizes ratings. A few shows ago he had that disgusted look on his face in the 'boardroom' of "can't I just fire four or five of them NOW?"

So far it sure looks like Tana is running away with the thing. Being an excellent marketing person and pretty organized and a driver has gotten her through a lot. She might not be so good at stuff that is intricate and requires a lot of care, though.

10. However
In all fairness to the Donald, he did say Chris was a liability due to his temper.

18. Chris is "good TV"
and even though it's a sure bet he won't win, keeping him around ensures fireworks, which is what viewers want. Mark Burnett ain't no fool.

12. I thought he was trying to work on holding his temper.
It must have been a pretty decent scene if he got arrested.

Reality show contestant under arrest

<snip>

"Christopher Shelton, a contestant on Donald Trump's The Apprentice reality show was arrested early Sunday morning at the Hard Rock Casino in Tampa.

Shelton was charged with disorderly conduct after a police officer twice asked him to calm down. He reportedly became loud and belligerent after becoming upset about something he thought was going to be free, but was not."
