According to TV Guide, tonight “Trump wannabes scream at each other.”
Is this season gonna start getting good soon?
Well, that was about a week late.
That chicken suit line was the best foot-in-mouth ever. As the kids say, “Burn!” 
I’m an atheist, but I’m thinking now about signing up for that religion where you’re not allowed to do embarassing things.
I have to admit that Toral was making such good TV that I thought Trumpy might not fire her. Honestly, I was feeling a tidbit of sympathy for her, as she seemed so ganged-up on, but her monstrous ego just shot it down. Song and dance girls with cheese plates? :eek:
I think MrValley now wants the genie costume guy to win.
Oh yeah, forgot to ask…
Re: that Zip thing – Was anyone else reminded of that weird Atlanta Olympics mascot?
Yeah, that Atlanta thing. Said that to The Wife, I did.
One thing that Toral necer learned – You are going to have to work with people who are not as “samrt” as you. If you want to work with them you cannot rub their faces in it.
If she was so smart, how could she not see that she was there on sufferance? She had to SHINE this week, not just be condescending and bitchy.
(Monumentally stupid not to brand the mascot. And it would have worked better as a 'toon.)
WTF was that Zip thing even supposed to be? That was an awful, awful presentation.
having said that, Toral takes being an imperious, self-important bitch to brand new levels. Yegads, what a snob. And her attempt to play the religion card was so cynical it was insulting. Good on Trump for not falling for it even a little bit.
Whew, kinda like having to finish yourself off after a promising date ends early, the Raj Ratings considers that episode of The Apprentice, irritating yet ultimately satisfying. Irritating because no matter how much one tries to pound it into Toral’s head, she just doesn’t get it. Satisfying because the pounding of the head is so much fun. Lots of movement this week because a lot of previously quiet people made some noise. But, really, this one is all about Toral. On a side note, if your mascot is reminiscent of the worst Olympic mascot ever, you should probably go in another direction.
** Looking for Love: Bachelorettes in Alaska** - Or, these people are in a cold, lonely place with no hope for love or revival
Melissa, Chris, Jennifer W - I still can’t figure out what they were thinking with Jennifer W. She seemed as likely to succeed at this as a black chick on The Bachelor.
Toral (BC)- Well, that boardroom was much less demeaning and reputation damaging than wearing a mascot costume. If anyone still had any love for Toral and thought she got a bum deal, I offer you a simple quiz. Which Wharton attendee apparently got kicked out of school for cheating? Hint, (it ain’t the Donald.). The sense of awe this loser has for herself is unbelievable. I bet her religion has some rule against false deities but she clearly breaks that rule every time she passes a reflective surface. I really could probably write pages about this one’s ouster, but I just want to leave you with one passing thought. Imagine actually having to be her admin assistant. Ugh.
Boot Camp - Or, in major need of a butt-kicking, but actual physical contact isn’t allowed
Markus (BC)- A behind the scenes type of week (mainly due to the Toral focus), but I don’t think there are enough quiet weeks to rehab your fractured image.
Big Brother - Or, beginning the downward spiral into ultimately being canceled
Kristi (BC)- You are a fairly bitter person, but Toral will bring that out in even the most stoic of mimes so you can be forgiven. This is a one week bump unless your attitude improves.
** Brian ** (N:N&J)- You have to drop at this point simply because so many on your team have stepped up during this winning streak and we still don’t know anything about you.
Adam (N:N&J)- See Brian. Singing is nice, but Trump can’t carry a tune and that hasn’t exactly stopped him. Again, you drop mainly because the competition has stepped it up. If you were on the women’s team, you’d be a star.
Felisha (N:N&J)-
Ouch. No logo? Way too Toralcentric? Dead silence at questions? That wasn’t very impressive. I think you gave Trump no reason to keep you which is not a good thing.
Newlyweds: Nick & Jessica - Or, ultimately harmless and forgettable fluff in need of a shot in the arm
James (N:N&J)- I think you have some potential. You didn’t get much strategic air time, but you did get a positive edit. Mark Burnett wouldn’t do that if you didn’t have some promise.
Clay (N:N&J)- I just don’t know what to think. You led the team to victory, but did so in an authoritarian manner. You whined and complained last week but actually had valid points. A dichotomy. I doubt you can win, but you should at least provide a couple of fireworks.
Mark (BB)- Heh. That was funny. You really stepped up to the plate so you get a bump. Trump can appreciate the move you made.
Rebecca (BB)- Yup, an upgrade in a week her team lost and her BFF flamed out. This is mainly because I think I had her too low last week. She was tough, abrasive, and brash, but she did a pretty decent job as PM and faced Trump head on. So, much like the umps owe the Angels, consider this a makeup call.
Jennifer M (AI)- This downgrade is based solely on the previews. Pronunciation has doomed in the past and it will in the future. That isn’t a good sign for you. Also, I am pretty sure she could hide small children in her hair.
American Idol - Or, mostly positive so far but still in major danger of falling apart when a tough theme night comes around
Alla (AI)- Still solid so no change.
Survivor - Or, when they’re good, they are really good. But, there are enough rough spots to keep them from the top spot
Josh (S)- I am this close to moving him up to TAR level. He just seems to have his pulse on the team and the dynamics. But, he needs to be a winning PM first. Still, even if he loses as PM he should survivor because most people will give him some leeway unless he really screws up.
Marshawn (S)- She hasn’t done one spectacular things, but she seems to say the right thing at the right time. I get the feeling she will do great as a PM even if her team dies a slow death. She just seems really on the ball.
The Amazing Race - Or, the king of the hill. A well oiled machine that shows no signs of slowing down unless a taxi gets in the way
Randal (TAR)- Really, no air time which is understandable considering the female meltdown.
The Rancic-Perdew Corollary – Markus and Kristi are toast based on goofiness and meanness. Mark is safe, even though he was mocked as the genie. There is a difference between idiotic buffoonery and buffoonery based on helping win a task. So, he is off the edge and back in happy land. Jennifer M does bear watching.
Seasonal Rankings No really horrific character have lasted long, but while they did shine they did so very brightly. This is a good thing. I also think there are 3-4 superstars in the mix. 1,4,2,3. I also just realized that I couldn’t name 3 people from last season. And I write a lengthy post about this show each week. That really says something about them.
If Toral were half as smart as she thinks she is she could have easily talked her way out of that firing.
Why didn’t you wear the Zip suit? Because it was never put up as an option for the group. It was demanded of me because the others don’t like me, and I resented their reasoning. Besides, we didn’t lose the task because of the person in the suit.
Instead it was something about serving cheese? Wha?
Rebecca, Marshawn, you go girls. The rest of you? Just go.
This show is ripe for the MST3K treatment, don’t you think? “Hey Alla, I see Janice gave you back your leg!”
I think the mascot looked like a butt. A big white butt.
Couldn’t believe Toral was so happy to see her team lose. I think I’ll set the DVR to record The Today Show tomorrow, see if anyone asks her any tough questions.
Maybe because I missed the last week - but the choir of shrieking harpies seemed way worse than Toral this week.
Where do they find these women? Why does it happen every single season?
favorite comment of the night was Jen M saying they don’t take her seriously because she was an ex-beauty queen, and not realizing it might have something to do with her dressing like a young Patsy from Absolutely Fabulous.
I was very unimpressed with both mascots. The mascot on the male team was vaguely sexist. The mascot from the female team was just stupid.
I missed the last five minutes – did she say anything of interest in the cab?
Dunno what google ads y’all are getting: I just got this. 
My apologies to the ad-irate amongst us.
Her taxicab confession was just more insufferable snobbishness about how much better she was than everyone else and how she “wouldn’t hire them as her administrative assistants,” etc. She learned nothing.
I was commenting on this to my wife. I’ve known people like that, and as far as I can tell, they’re not capable of learning anything that impinges on their sick fantasy world of total superiority.
I would have loved to have her come up with some justification for the “religious reasons” crap. What religion forbids a woman to be totally covered? The Church of Hefner?
In the Shot we See of “The Donald” when the DQ execs are making their decision there is box on the desk to his left that looks like a Ham Radio Set, is that what it is? I had flashing lights and what looked like a mic on the top of it, can’t imagine what on earth it would be and why it would be in his office.
There is always one line in the Raj ratings that totally makes it for me, and this week, it’s this one:
What the f was with all the women thinking they shouldn’t ‘clutter up’ the character with the DQ logo? In what world is marketing a game where only the subtle win? I wanted to beat my head against the wall at that point.
My friend’s husband pointed out that their character looked like the DQ Scrotum. Mmmm, nothing says ice cream like a scrotum.
I was truly stunned by Toral’s insufferable egotism. Rebecca, however, played it like a pro – deeply saddened by Toral’s failure to step up (can we retire that phrase now, PLEASE?) to the chance for redemption that she was given last week, showing that carefully calculated touch of weakness while still remaining otherwise tough and competent. She’s definitely one to watch; she’s playing Trump like a violin right now. He doesn’t care if everyone else doesn’t like her as long as she does a good job, which the rest of the Blonde Brigade hasn’t realized.
No. We need it for the Drinking Game. 
Ah, good point, AuntiePam. Although anyone who drank to it this week would have been comatose by the time the first 15 minutes of the show were up.
