April 11, 200521 yr http://staging.hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stori...-04-11-07-44-07 Apr 11, 10:58 AM EDT 'Apprentice' Shelton Contestant Arrested TAMPA, Fla. (AP) -- Real estate millionaire Chris Shelton, a contestant on NBC's "The Apprentice," was arrested on a disorderly conduct charge. Shelton, 22, one of six remaining contestants competing for a job with Donald Trump, was taken into custody early Sunday at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino. He was released after posting $250 bail. A tribal police officer said he heard a noisy Shelton in the hotel lobby and asked him twice to calm down before arresting him, said Seminole police spokesman Gary Bitner. "He was loud and he just wouldn't calm down," Bitner said. Shelton was peeved over a $20 cover charge for the hotel bar. Shelton "was at the lobby causing a scene," the police report said. "There were several patrons in the area who were visibly shaken by his actions. After several attempts to calm Shelton, he continued to yell and curse, refusing to calm down and stop causing a scene." Shelton and some friends were staying at the hotel and celebrating his continued success on "The Apprentice," Bitner said. "We don't really have any comment," NBC spokesman Jim Dowd said. "This is clearly a private matter with Chris." All but the final episode has been taped, and it isn't known if Shelton makes it that far. That guy is a total moron. No idea at all why he hasn't been fired.
April 11, 200521 yr is that guy who was directly asked if he's always had a problem with his temper by Trump?

He's gotten into a fight with nearly everyone on the show.. and got busted chewing tobacco while dressed as a clown entertaining children at a mini golf course.. :headshake He is nasty.
April 11, 200521 yr Those reality shows have to be fixed sometimes. Ever notice the more controversial people stay on a long time?
April 11, 200521 yr Author QUOTE(EvilJester99 @ Apr 11, 2005 -> 03:19 PM) Only thing you will hear for him now is the Donald saying "You're fired" All but the final episode is filmed so he might have made it to the last show. I hope not though.

Regardless of being likeable or not.. he knows business which is the only reason he is still there. That and the others on his team when they lost have effed up worse than him. He does have good business skills.. just horrible people skills.

If you don't have people skills, you really don't have bussiness skills, just my opinion. He's still on partly cuz he's a jerk. Jerks get ratings, even if it's just people rooting against him.

I know plenty of successful people with horrible people skills. One has very little to do with the other in many fields. Especially in real estate, which he is in. Do you even watch the show..? He's a very smart guy.
April 12, 200521 yr I'm a couple of shows behind, but from what I've seen from this season, the contestants are definitely on a lower level talent wise, than with the previous 2 seasons IMHO.

April 12, 200521 yr He's a jerk on the show, but Trump does like some things about him. He likes people that are fired up and excitable. Not some drone spouting off statistics and numerous degrees.

I can not stand Craig.. he's is an idiot. I have no idea how he's stayed out of trouble. And he's got a nasty mouth.

That dude has some serious issues...he needs counseling. As for who I want to win...it has always been Kendra...she has come up with the best ideas...even when she wasn't project manager...She has made her team win so many times.
April 15, 200521 yr I've never watched a single episode, but I heard about the whole "blow up" story this morning. Apparently, he got pissed off about the $20 cover charge because he was already staying at the casino hotel in a $1000 a night room. I think he had a legitimate complaint.
