Watching a doe eyed lamb get slaughtered wasn’t easy. Star is one formidable, bad ass game player. All those years in the courtroom makes her very intimidating. Not every celebrity has any training in leadership. It was painfully obvious Lisa R. was way in over her head. The Apprentice is not the place to “learn” leadership. Everytime I see LaToya I get grossed out. She reminds me too much of Michael. They must have shared the same bad plastic surgeons. \ ---

> [@twickster](#): > > What the fuck is this “I want my name on the cover” bullshit from Star and Dionne? Yeah, that was off the hook showbiz ego. Lisa wasn’t the reason they lost, but she was a defebnsible choice to fire just because of the way she let herself get bullied and pushed around by the others. She should have stood up to them. How about Trump being surprised that Marlee wasn’t too familiar with the song stylings of Dionne Warwick? ---

Color me impressed by Star in the boardroom. I thought she sucked as a PM and did a lot of weaseling on the task but there was some serious pwnage in front of the Trumps. Poor Lisa didn’t know what hit her. Lisa could have exploited the egocentrism of Dionne and Star as evidence of their inability to take direction, but that was fairly hopeless. It’s true that she was unorganized and the others smelled blood in the water. Star and Dionne just provided the biggest WTF moments in CA history. You want a credit on the cover of a shittily written kids’ book? Do you also want acknowledgment for breathing, walking, and defacating? Seriously, that was crazy. ---

Without looking anyone up Heard of: Gary Busey - actor, known for heavy drug abuse Hope Dworaczyk - Playboy model, was married to a professional athlete (baseball player?) Richard Hatch - Reality show star. Convicted of tax evasion. David Cassidy - Partridge Family actor and singer. Niki Taylor - I think she’s a model. Had a sister who died a few years back. Dionne Warwick - Singer Jose Canseco - Baseball player? Star Jones - TV interviewer. Known for her weight gains and losses? Lisa Rinna - Actress. Had some bad plastic surgery. Sued a show she was on. I think she did a recent reality show with her husband, who’s also a minor actor. Marlee Matlin - Actress. Deaf. Phenomenal breasts. Meat Loaf - Singer and occasional actor. La Toya Jackson - Sister of Michael Jackson. Probably has done some singing and acting but nothing major. Don’t know: Lil Jon - I’m guessing a rap star John Rich - Is he a country music singer? I know there’s a group called Big & Rich. NeNe Leakes - No idea Mark McGrath - Thought he was the baseball player with steroid issues. Wrong. ---

Lisa Rinna placed 4th on dancing with stars a few years ago. She got some good scores from the judges. She was also in a sci-fi movie _Robot Wars_ with Scream Queen Barbara Crampton. I really liked that movie. It’s pretty good considering the low budget. Most of this cast I’m unfamiliar with except Richard Hatch, the nekkid guy from Survivor. I’m hoping he’ll keep his clothes on for The Apprentice. ---

I have to wait till next week to catch the latest episode, but I just saw the first one. It just occurred to me that both sides have a "crazy wild card-type person on them. Gary is the men’s, obviously. LaToya is the women’s. With Dionne pulling up a close second. And as far as LaToya not being a celebrity, I’m not a fan of hers at all, but if I saw her on the corner trying to sell pizza, I’d be like “hey, girl!” Her family is sho nuff crazy, but they’re from Gary, IN. My mama’s hometown. So I understand. There’s something in the water there that makes you crazy. Seriously. Dionne, baby. Her ego was all tied up in that damn cashier machine. That marijuana must be a hell of a drug! Speaking of Dionne, when are we going to see her cousin Whitney on the show? I’d like to see the drama that would be bring. With her and Nene on the scene, the show would be off the chain. Oh yeah…David, get a “backbone”. Little man. And Richard, stop acting like a sociopath. That worked in Survivor. It’s just creepy on the Apprentice. All the other guys are cool, even crazy-ass Gary. I hope Consaco (sp?) becomes PM so he can show them how smart he is. Because I liked it when he said, “I like when people underestimate me.” In yo face, Richard. In YO FACE. ---

I was sort of rooting for Lisa last week, because I hate to see people get steamrolled on Celebrity Apprentice - it’s for charity, and there’s not a ton of need to get all Richard Hatch on everyone (unless you’re Richard Hatch - then it’s okay). But she really looked weak in front of Star, who is really formidable (I’d probably have underestimated her). I understand not being able to stand up to Star - but at least start tearing into Dionne! She was a bitch, and showed her incompetence last week at the register. I’m a little disappointed in Marlee - she should have focused on Dionne more as well. I can imagine it being very difficult for a deaf person to jump into the fray, because there’s only so much that her interpreter can convey - but I’d think her involvement would slow everyone down a bit. What’s up with Canseco’s constant blinking/squinting? Is that an effect of steroids? He still looks like he’s juicing. ---

As much as I’d like to see NeNe Leakes taken down a peg, I **really** can’t stand Star Jones and the way she’s playing/competing. I never thought I’d say this but “Go get 'em, NeNe!” Like **Munch** said, this is for charity, not a job with Trump. Canseco is way scarier to me than Gary Busey. ---

Looks like Richard Hatch turned himself in today to go back to prison. It’ll be funny if he is in the final two and can’t show up for the finale.
