Those two woman are children. If I were trump I would’ve fired them both right in the middle of their arguement. ---

Jen has [ul] [li]Chris[/li][li]Pamela[/li][li]Little Stacey[/li][/ul] Kelly has [ul] [li]Raj[/li][li]John? I don’t know because he was so forgettable[/li][/ul] It looks like Raj is plotting. This could be fun. ---

> [@Rysler](#): > > Trump totally gets off on watching those gals fight. 😃 No joke. He perfectly set it up for them to fight too. :rolleyes: Bye Kevin, Kelly you’re in – now as for you two ladies… I’m with **twickster** here. I hate it. **MrValley** hit the mute button. ---

How long did it take Raj to start talking about his penis? Five minutes? With Sandy gone, I throw my alleigence to Elizabeth! (Who is on Kelly’s team. And Kelly loves them. Heeeeee.) ---

Four against three? that doesn’t seem fair. I have no doubt Raj is plotting something – is it task-related or about getting some woman’s phone number, though? 😃 ---

I think Kelly is a complete jerkwad. He bragged about his leadership ability and likes to come off as a manly man, but he whispers behind Jenn’s back like a 7th grade girl. Jenn overhears him (I think they deliberately made the walls of that apartment wafer thin), confronts him, and he totally pussies out: “I don’t want to talk about this with you!” My god, what a weasel. Talk about someone for whom I have no respect. I hope she kicks his lily white ass. Another coupla things about Kelly I don’t get: why pick _Elizabeth_ first? If he were smart, he’d have left her for Jenn, who bitched her out and who I’m sure she doesn’t like. Then he picks Jon, a doofus who apparently hates him. Hmmm. What was that about “I love you guys”? That fell totally flat with them. I get the sense that neither Jon nor Raj like him. ---

Jon and Raj have both come out and said they don’t give a crap about Kelly. It’s a lot different from last year when both finalists had genuine friends on their teams. ---

I’m sad. Sandy or Andy would have nailed the NBA task. It’s good to see Kelly up to his old tricks–picking a female to ride to victory. ---

That lady in the red coat who was breaking Jenn’s balls about the seating = bitch. I hope it keeps raining forever on Kelly’s event. C-Webb better show up or Jenn’s going to hunt him down and physically beat his ass. ---

You know what I don’t like about Jenn? Her voice. It really grates on me. ---

Okay – let’s draw the battle lines here. Who are you rooting for? (Not “who do you think will win.”) Jenn: **Diogenes Rubystreak** Kelly: me **Rysler** Anyone else? ---

What a big fat meh. I’ll watch next week, but I really don’t care who wins. The whole bunch of them are schmucks. Fire em all, hire Troy. (Forgot to say earlier: Bob Kraft, loved the thumbs up. :wally ) ---

Does anyone else think that it’s pretty obvious from the preview who’s going to win next week? I’ve seen a hundred beauty contest winners do the same thing. “Me? Really? Me? I’d like to thank all the little people, and mom, and my grandma, who’s watching from heaven, and oh, I’m just so happy!” :mad: ---

I’m rooting for Kelly, but I’m hoping that Amy will make a comeback. ---
