So much for Bren making it to the final four? ---

> [@Dio](#): > > I like him but how could they have thought a porn angle was the way to go for a mass product like that? Maybe he got the _urge_ to make masturbation noises while showering in the middle of a court room… Who knew what worked for shampoo wouldn’t work for body wash? R-rated art house film, though, will not sell _anything_. It doesn’t even sell tickets to R-rated art house films, for crying out loud. Bren seems to be taking responsibility for his mistakes, not covering his ass by teaming and backstabbing. I think everyone likes him, too. ---

Chris: “I am not a homosexual.” Seriously, why do I even watch this show? ---

Chris is insane! Where does he bottle that stuff up that it all comes spewing out like a firehose in the boardroom? ---

I hope Bren survives somehow. Hopefully the other team can get across how badly Kirsten fumbled that joke. ---

“Bren came up with the ridiculous cucumber idea.” Carolyn has definitely been having a good year. ---

Magna is a very, very smart team. Erin, Bren, and Michael sitting like stones. Damn, I have respect for all of them. Erin, especially, for just nodding when Trump cut her up. “Dove was better off making their own ad.” :dubious: Hey! That was a pretty good ad! I liked the whole idea of washing off the makeup and discovering the woman underneath. ---

I haven’t liked Erin before but I give her props for sticking up for her team and saving Bren. She didn’t even try to throw Michael under the bus which would have been easy to do. And she did show better leadership. Her team functioned, they just took a very unwise risk. ---

Second line of the night goes to Trump: “They have Michael, who everybody HATES.” Wordy McWord ---

My god, that might have been the most clueless cab speech in the history of the show. ---

This seemed like one of the very few episodes where the firee (is that a word?) appeared to realize that other potential employers may be looking at their taxi cab confessions. It sounded like she was in a job interview as she rode off into the sunset.
