I don’t know if you guys intentionally avoid the trailers for the next weeks show so:
Heidi and Assorama together working some task and virtually coming to blows! Thats gonna be freaking delicious. Plus they said that finally someone has a meltdown in the boardroom and they dubbed in what appears to be a female voice sobbing…hmmm, who could it be?
God damn that Assorama is a peice of work. “I think I have been quite the trooper.” GAHHH ::
Freakin’ bitch, I can’t wait to see her go.
P.S- I think Nick deserved to go, but I agree that Erika would make a lousy President, so six of one- half dozen of the other.
I think it’s going to come down to Troy, Amy and Bill. Troy performs well in certain situations, but he relies a bit too much on inspiration rather than planning – and sometimes his inspirations aren’t so hot. Remember when he was trying to get them to sell dirt at the flea market? Maybe it was just editing, but it appeared he wouldn’t let that idea go. Inspiration might be enough in this context, I don’t know.
If Troy is smart, he gets a free pass next week. The next task has to do with art and in the promos, Troy says “This country boy don’t know nothing about art.” If he sticks with this line, he’s home free. Good team members knows what they don’t know and step back and “simply follow orders” when they’re out of their depth.
I think, BTW, that they’ll stick with the team thing as long as possible, since half the show is built around the drama in the board room. Maybe they’ll drop that format when they get down to just three.
I really hope the last task is a poker game in the boadroom between the last two contestants, Trump and his two aides. That would be just too cool.
Do you think? See, I’ve been relatively impressed with Bill. He’s shown himself capable of good ideas and smart leadership (I’m thinking of offering the Planet Hollywood employees incentives to bring in the higher checks) and he can be good in the clutch: last night he totally saved them when Ereka was crashing on that one sale. Bill started talking and the guy went for it whole-hog. I don’t think he’s nearly as diplomatic or as shrewd as, say, Troy, but I’d put my money on him lasting to the last 3 or 4.
But who knows, right? The moon could get sucked into the sun and it could come down to Omarosa and Katrina.
atrain, have you been watching this show, other than last night’s episode. All of Nick’s performances have been sub-par, and the only times he’s won, it’s been because of the other people on his team. He’s not a deal-closer, he’s not a salesman (for the life of me I don’t know how he keeps a roof over his head), he’s not a motivator or a diplomat, and when something doesn’t go his way, he just shuts down. Near as I can tell, he’s never contributed to a team in any meaningful way.
The size difference in the teams thing has been tried before–the guys were outnumbered 8 to 5 when they did the Planet Hollywood task. Donald told them that all being outnumbered means is that you have to hustle more. If he’s not willing to accept that as an excuse for that kind of difference, he’s certainly not going to accept it for a 1-person difference.
The Nick/Bill/Kuntrina team will probably get to choose someone from the other team, and they’ll almost certainly take Amy back. Sure Troy’s an inspired wheeler and dealer and he works hard and smart, but Nick and Kuntrina both hate his guts and think he’s a slimy weasel. Nobody in their right mind would take Assorama, and Heidi can be a real pain in the ass, too. So that leaves them with the choice between Amy and Kwame. Amy’s a far stronger team member than Kwame, Nick likes Amy a lot, and he’s not overfond of Kwame. So, yeah, Amy will be switching teams again if they get to choose.
I was hoping that Trump would call Nick on his blatant (to me anyway) lie: “I got up early and went to the web-site to check up on that company.” Yea, right! :rolleyes:
BTW, anyone think that O will play a race card – or a least an “I was born a poor, black child” card – next time she’s in the boardroom? She more-or-less did that after the flea market fiasco. “I know all about flea markets. My mother used to buy all of our clothes at flea markets! Sometimes she would make our clothes out of garbage bags we scrounged at flea markets! etc., etc.” (I don’t remember the exact wording, but it was, at best, a blatant play for sympathy.)
You know, maybe it’s her that melts down. I remember being surprised at how teary-eyed she was getting when she thought she was going to get the ax before.
Yeah, that was pretty lame. One thing you have to say about Nick, though: he was totally ready for Ereka in the boardroom. As he promised on his voice-over, once she opened her assualt on him, he came at her with both barrels. Sometimes his excuses were lame, sometimes they made sense, but he always came across with absolute conviction. I bet that played more than a small part in swaying Trump (despite the Don’s knocking of his braggadocio).
Ereka carried herself well for the most part, but she got flustered one they started hitting her all at once.
Erecka was fired because she had no strategy at all! She could have saved herself because Nick was this <–> close to being fired! It was between her and Nick.
She should have sent Bill back up to the suite (at the same time getting back into Bill’s good graces) and picked Nick and Katrina to stay in the board room.
That way both Katrina and Erecka would have had the chance to convince Trump that Nick was the weakest link.
Instead Erecka picks Bill and Nick to stay in the board room, paving the way to having herself eliminated!
stoopid!
