Okay – why are we in the last week of sweeps but not yet at the finale?

Maybe the producers were afraid that the show couldn’t stand up to the competition of other sweeps shows, given the suckfest that is this current season.

I forgot it was on – that’s how dedicated I am. This is the second of former favorite shows to be dropped. Desperate Housewives is the other. I haven’t felt this good about my choices since the last time I quit smoking. 🙂
(But I’ll be checking the thread to see what happens. Cold turkey’s a bitch.)

**Rysler** raises an interesting point – namely, haven’t they all violated Rancic-Perdew at this point?

WHY DID DONALD START SHOUTING WHEN HE WAS TALKING ABOUT THE TASK?
Good Lord, the Estee Lauder woman looked frightened.

Did you see the look of horror on that housekeeper’s face when they said the word “culottes?”

Was the Donald’s commentary about friendship foreshadowing a rift between the Roxanne/Allie alliance?

I’m not sure it was horror as much as it was utter incomprehension.

Oh dear! Allie’s getting the loser bitch edit!
The women expressed overconfidence, which is the kiss of death in this show…
Roxallie… or Alanne… seems to be heading for the rocks.

Ally is really showing her ass this week. That designer looked like he wanted to smack her.

Synergy’s uniforms were hideous. The models looked embarrassed to be wearing them. Gold Rush’s uniforms actually looked kind of sharp while also having the advantage of looking normal. The guys should win this in a walk.

Those are the ugliest fugging uniforms I have ever seen.

With the edit they’ve been using, I expect the guys to win and Ally to get fired.

Why is Lee not wearing a tie? And why has he never learned basic table manners?

Damn. The girls forgot that real people would be expected to do real work in those clothes. Including short, round immigrant women.
They looked like costumes from the crowd scenes in the Emerald City.

Hee! Esp. the puff-shoulder cleaners’ uniforms.

Kind of cool that Trump didn’t spoil his kids and make them earn their own money. They seem surprisingly normal and well-adjusted. Ivanka seems sharp as hell…and she’s hot too.

Either Sean wins this thing or Trump is an idiot.
I just find Lee so…so…annoying.

Each and every one of the final four was/is so annoying.

Well, that was fucking stupid.
What happened to those two is what happens in every freakin’ boardroom!
Trump, that’s the dumbest firing you ever executed. You fuckin’ dumbass.
