Well, I shouldn't be so callous. It IS too bad that she's going through this. One remark, which may NOT have been racially charged when spoken by the person who said it, ended up costing her more than she realized.
Im very happy to know that her company chose not to keep her on after comments like that. It puts my faith back into people knowing that they wont stand for that!
She may not have meant it as racially motivated...but just adding the word Jewish in with the way she said it..well, to me it meant more than her just saying it in general.
She could have just said "old ladies" but she chose to add in the Jewish part...as if that was a bad thing.
I feel no sympathy for her.....at all.
Of course thats just my opinion....I could be wrong. (Dennis Miller)

But did you know that Jennifer Crisafulli is half Jewish by heritage? Yep, she went on TV the next day and said it wasn't about race nor did she harbor any ill feelings to Jewish people because SHE IS JEWISH too.
Stacy Wreaks Havoc
Last week she pulled Elizabeth's strings. This week Jennifer C's. She preys on project manager's vulnerable spots. It was Stacy Rotner who ACCUSED Jennifer C and played up the Jewish comment. But what happened in the boardroom? Stacy R could have elaborated her answer as to why she felt Jennifer brought her into the boardroom as being personal. As much as I don't think Jennifer is a racist or bigot... it's just that she has a MOTOR MOUTH! And Stacy R knows how to push people's buttons, being a little sneak.
I agree. If Jennifer really IS half-jewish, then Stacy was just pulling levers and pushing buttons to get rid of Jennifer. Still, it's possible that Jennifer resents her jewish side as well, and maybe it WAS racially charged...
I don't know for sure because we only see what is shown on TV and none of us know Jennifer C from any other way. I rather say that she was trying to do her part as the project manager and take the leadership role in making sure everyone is working and doing their part. What I sensed from watching episode #4 was that finally the first female PM who asserted herself. She did a Bradford by invoking The Executive Final Decision because Stacy Rotner kept talking during the planning session and there were more things on the meeting agenda. I've attended and conducted enough meetings to see through the group's dynamics and conflict resolution. Jennifer C was a feisty leader. I like how she can see through the real causes of problems and secondly isn't afraid to confront it. If Stacy R isn't part of that Apex group, I can see Jennifer C being an effect female Apprentice, get the Apex team back on track and give the Mosaic team a run for their money.
I could agree with that. She was definitely headstrong, but I don't think she's personable, which was definitely one of the reasons why Stacy clashed with her (not even mentioning Stacy's own personality issues...). It might have been more appropriate (at least with the group she was dealing with, who take things so personally...) to utilize more tact, and be less short with people, especially the likes of Stacy R. That girl is Napoleonic in both stature and attitude...
I noticed that in the boardroom we the viewers didnt' see Stacy R. bring up the "jewish" issue, but I'm wondering if she did - or she just used that as an excuse to fuel the fire between Jen C and the rest of Apex.
Also, from what I've seen of Jen C's personality trait...she'd be wise to hold her tongue and listen when people are addressing her, instead of interrupting.
Overall, she deserved to be fired in the boardroom. She brought the wrong people in there, she should have picked Stacy.
"it's not business, it's PERSONAL" -- should be the new tagline for the Appentice II imho.
That's true, Jennifer C is highly sensory and extremely vocal, with both her ears clipped wearing ear rings. I was wondering what was blocking her audio perception while in the boardroom.
I want to know who was playing the "J" card more. Was it Stacy Rotner more or Jennifer C? Maybe both? Who started it and who kept crying victim? Are there victims? Who has a clean hand? Or were both pushing the envelop?
Those out-takes will speak volumes. Jennifer C said on TV the next day that there were too much editing and we didn't get to see what really happened.
Hmm...well based on what my Grandma Rose told me a long time ago...and that was,
"..never trust a woman with skinny lips".
I'd say it's Stacy R who can't be trusted and is DEVIOUS. Jen C is an opinionated loudmouth but it's the Stacy R's that are the devious, conniving, manipulating, vengeful, spiteful, egotistical and greedy personalities you must be on guard for. She's a lawyer after all...she does this for a LIVING! AND....she has skinny (thin) lips!
Stacy R. will not be in the top 4. I will wager now with anyone who thinks she will be. Here's why I think this. Try to imagine that conniving little wench as a PM. How will she lead a team in which everyone knows she would stab them in the back in a heartbeat. If these women are smart, they will nominate Stacy as PM as soon as possible, lose on purpose, and get her the heck out of there. She is a cancerous personality, that would be a drag on ANY organization she was a part of. She is this year's Omarosa -- she'll be kept around for another episode or two, but fired WELL before the final four.
Are they nominating PM's? I thought they picked names. If they are picking names..then Stacy R might get lucky and not be PM and not have to worry. She can just manipulate behind the scenes. If she is picked as a PM, then I think she's savvy and clever enough to weasel her way out of blame if they make it to the boardroom again. If they WIN when she's PM then there might be a chance she'd avoid the chopping block a while longer and remain standing.
Heh, I know your'e not a big fan of her, nor am I-- but she might just surprise everyone.
Besides, these Apex women don't even know better. She could backstab them and still NOT be taken to the boardroom. Come on, you think Apex is smart? If they were smart they wouldn't be in the boardroom catfighting! They would work together to WIN instead of letting personal conflicts interfere with business.
Good points all. However, I believe that with Pam switching teams this week, Stacy will be unable to shift blame to her, because she doesn't have the history with Pam that she does with the other girls. If I were Pam -- and it appears she's the PM in the previews I've seen -- I would set Stacy up for failure, take her to the boardroom if we lost, and get her conniving little butt fired.

I'm not too sure many outside of this BB knows how crafty Little Stacy is yet. She's under the media's radar. We're the ones here exposing her devious ways.
Stacy Rotner has her role in society, it's part of the counter-balancing forces at work. Keeps things at a happy or unhappy medium depending on one's focus. The victims are those who are naive. But I would agree that Stacy will survive for some time in the Apprentice series. You think the rest of Apex will figured it out and team up against her, but I'm thinking different that Stacy Rotner will make it much further closer to the final rounds, unless The Donald shuffles the two teams earlier. My reasons are that the remaining team is in shambles and each Apex is fearful of losing and being fired. The only exception was Jennifer C and she stood her grounds even facing the wrath of The Donald and against the wishes of BOTH Carolyn and Bill. Now she has guts, going down without glory. I can't see any other Apex, with the exception of Ivana the next who might step up to the plate once again swinging.
