Did Erin just say she was “poignant”? ---

Angie fears Erin. This makes me lose respect for Angie. Who else thinks it was cool that Craig took people aside and talked to them about their attitude in a way that, apparently, worked? For everyone who thinks Carolyn and George are just stooges… I think they’re fulfilling their purpose tonight. Trashing Erin when she had her team cowed. Suh-weet. Dear Editors: Erin’s quote about poignancy right before her snide meltdown. Brilliant. ---

Erin certainly can sling the poo, I’ll give her that. ---

What did Erin say? Could I get a summary? I wasn’t listening ☹ ---

I am ashamed of Trump. He’s just looking for an excuse to keep Erin around. ---

Yeah. I definitely get the impression that Trump just likes Erin and nothing she does or says is going to hurt her. ---

One snide comment too many. And insulted George & Carolyn at the same time. Not bright. ---

When Carolyn said “that was a dumb statement,” that was the first time I’ve thought she was just being a bitch gratuitously. I didn’t think Erin was being a wise ass, just trying to save herself. ---

Boy, those wisecracks’ll come back and bite you in the ass, all right. I just don’t understand how not knowing how to do home improvement stuff excuses her from the brainstorming portion of the task. I mean, she lives somewhere, right? So surely she’s got opinions about what kind of stuff people would like to do to the places where they live. What a twerp. ---

**AuntiePam** , I think you’re right, and it was rather disgusting to watch. He really wanted to fire Angie or Chris. Way to go, Erin, insulting the henchmen! You backed Trump into a corner and forced him to fire you! He has to work with those people tomorrow! **Dio** , Carolyn just hates women. I thought that comment was bitchy, too. However…best cab ride speech **ever**. My love is redeemed, sister. You can be my wise-guy, anytime. Dear Chris: Learn anger-management skills from Erin. Learn speaking skills from Tana.
