The teams are involved in opening hair salons, and the winner hangs out with Burt Bacharach. Need I say more? Yep, and I shall begin doing so about 9:00 tonight! ---

Charmaine is being a dumbass for focusing on shelving the products at this point. But, Lee is a sexist little twerp who needs his ass kicked. ---

How is he sexist? Did I miss something? I think he just has a low tolerance for morons. ---

“Three guys being ordered around by one lady?” What does her gender or their gender have to do with anything? ---

Are they just being jerks or are they actively trying to sabotage her? ---

I think they were doing what she told them to do. Even if they were trying to sabotage her (how exactly?) she’s such a bitch I think it’s justified. ---
