West Coast – if you haven’t gathered – we’re well into spoilerville here! I saw the preview and I still couldn’t believe when she did that. Yikes. ---

They haven’t been doing a good job of not telegraphing the loser lately. Buh bye, Ivana. That was embarrassing. And didn’t she call Sandy and Jenn “strippers?” Pot kettle black. ---

Well, in her defense, at least she wasn’t wearing a thong? Any guesses as to whether Trump will fire her immediately or let her dangle for a while? And will we hear some kind of rationalization for this? Nice cliche-flinging, btw, Billy-Boy. ---

Is Kevin going out? They’re really beating up on him. And Kelly got a little slap from George. And nobody has touched Ivana. ---

> [@Green Bean](#): > > And that’s exactly why I said that I could see her working for a huge firm, and not for herself. I don’t see her as having what it takes to be a successful business person. Large firms _are_ private practice, as opposed to working in-house at a company or in a government position. And if you think the managing partner’s the only one acting as a businessperson, you’re sadly mistaken. Where do you think clients come from? Magic client trees? And to return on-topic: wow, Carolyn is so not amused right now. ---

My god, this is the most pathetic board room defense I’ve ever seen- even more cringe-inducing than Omarosa. “Fire Jen.” WTF?
