Maria Boren: Domo Arigato, Mrs. Roboto -

Click on Maria to play (Quicktime required)
In honor of The Apprentice 2 wrapping up next week, I decided to put together this little montage of Maria Boren during her final blazing episode. Note her robotic movements, her spastic blinking, and her manic hands which flap and gesticulate so violently you'd think she'd need a license to operate them. Most impressive, however, is Maria's keen way of balancing between passive aggression and full out hostility. Repressed rage never looked so manicured.
Truthfully, I'd never want to get on this woman's bad side, which is exactly what I'm doing every time I post about her. Oh Maria, we'll always love you. Here's to hoping you'll be on Apprentice All Stars four years from now!

Was that a wedding/engagement ring I saw on her finger?

yeah, she's married - I just read her Friendster profile! one of her hobbies/interests listed is "spending time with my husband". I'm sure he loves her Maxim cover.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Ahem.
Sorry.
Yeah, like the only thing keeping me from Maria is the fact that she's already married.

I was diggin' the music in the background. I liked the montage, but lets face it, nothing can top the Scott and Jase video. That was a classic. You have a lot of talent B-Side. I like how you waste it on making people on reality TV look stupid. What could be more fun?

Thank you Lisa. You're right - absolutely nothing can top Scott and Jase. I'm so proud to have made my mark on the internet lexicon.

The video was good, what I could hear of it. The music was about twice as loud as needed. Otherwise great.

I am convinced Maria is a Romulan(her hair and attitude are perfect for it). One vidcap on this site even showed her ears in an almost pointy fashion. That first pic of her could have easily been her yelling at Jean Luc Picard in his ready room telling him to get out of the Neutral zone.
Still she is/was my favorite apprentice of this season. Still the hottest. I better go buy that Maxim issue. :)
On the clip, I would have omitted the Strut song. Where was the footage of her flapping her arms like a madwoman on the QVC bit? That was classic(that and the "me me me" comment).

I really want to see this, but can't get it to work. It says, "click on Maria to play", but I don't see a photo of Maria. I've tried several times. Can you help? Thanks.

in the sunday times, there was a full page ad for some event at Macy's with some Apprentice cast members. in the picture were Pamela (lookin' good), John (model looking I guess) and....Maria! sans makeup and looking off to the side like an angel in repose. an angel named Lucifer.

Loved it!
Yeah, I agree w/ some others, could have done without the music. And maybe the QVC episode bits thrown in.
But otherwise awesome job once again :)

Maria's haircut is a real turn-on for me, and it suits her perfectly.
