I think Trump's golden boy was losing his halo tonight. If Bren had closed his mouth about his weakness for not taking chances, he could have been a contender....I think the final 2 will be Kendra and Alex and I don't see what Alex has done to warrant being in the final 2 other than get on Trump's good side.

Judging by the preview, it doens't look like there will be interviews next week. Did anyone else get that impression as well? It looked like they had to dish their thoughts to Trump. How else would "backstabbing" come into play? I can't see how someone could "backstab" Alex in the regular interviews that they had the past 2 seasons. I just can't figure out what it is. It showed Kendra nad Craig in a car arguing (shocking), so maybe there is one more team event? Maybe Tana and Alex go together, and Tana sabotages the task? Anyone else have any theories about next show?

That's too funny! I felt bad for Bren and Alex. They don't seem like bad guys, but they just don't get it right. I don't know what Trump sees in Alex, but I guess Bren just didn't give him much of a choice. It was obvious that Bren was tired of playing the game.

I'm a slacker. lol I'm going to order the organizer for my DH...you get a $10 off coupon after playing the game. I missed part of the show. Was the cube idea all Craig's idea?

Oh, my--I haven't laughed so hard in a long time. Calling the office managers and getting hangups wasn't a clue this wasn't working? Then the desk, oh the desk. DD and I had tears running down our faces. It was so hideous and ridiculous. Can you imagine someone lifting the top on and off to get to those ugly baskets? The look on the designers' faces was hysterical. They looked on in disbelief. Even funnier was the look on the office managers' faces when they saw the darn thing, but Bren and Alex never noticed! They just happily carried on and were sure they'd win. Even in the boardroom they were defending this wreck. Not until DT called it a "piece of crap," did reality begin to sink in. Then Bren stabbed himself in the chest by coming out with the statement that he had a problem taking risks. (Of course, he just might have really wanted out of this mess.) Zing--you're fired. Have to say, he left like a gentleman.

Legal, Tess - I found it took a VERY long time for the game to load up. I actually went to another window and surfed for a few minutes. I don't get why the organizer goes EMPTY every once in a while. I couldn't figure out which things were emptying it either. I put the bowling ball in, and it let me, but yet normal notebooks or pencils would empty it. So then I thought maybe I could only get one of everything, but even some duplicates went in. Maybe that's why the game called me a CHUMP.

I noticed the picture for the organizer has file folders in it...I didn't understand Craig's vehement argument against file folders. BTW-Bren doesn't take risks? is this the same Bren who thought up the whole porn commercial? Thats not a risk???

I was coming up as unrecognized the first two times I tried it but I did get in a few minutes ago. I'm a CHUMP right along with you, Eeyore. I did like getting the $10.00 coupon just for playing. I wonder how many times one can do that. hmmmmm.

quote:I didn't understand Craig's vehement argument against file folders.
Because they were Kendra's idea, and frankly, I thought she was right. I don't put papers into vertical folders (the ones with the pockets Craig wanted to use) on my desk, I put them into horizontal file folders. With the exception of the pens and stuff, most of what I saw them put into the holder (reams of paper, packets of tape) I would store in a cabinet. I thought it was a great product, and Kendra and Tana did a great job with the research for it. I don't know what Craig's problem with Kendra is -- I would have been hard pressed to maintain my cool as well as she did if he spoke to me the way he spoke to her.

Craig was such a <LC> to Kendra. The "young lady" comment, especially after she asked him not to talk condescending to her, was so out of line. And the "let me talk slowly for you" comment was horrible too.

I have to admit that it was pretty funny. Puzzled mentioned the looks on the designers and the office managers’ faces but did you also see the look on Carolyn’s face? It was so funny we rewound a couple of times just to watch it again and again. George and Carolyn are awfully funny in that I think they just can’t believe what some of these people come up with and how they perform. Their expressions are hilarious. Bren just wanted out – plain and simple. I think he was fed up, tired of being beaten around and ready to throw in the towel over the entire process. He knew he had no chance of winning, he didn’t really want it and all he was doing was wearing himself out and looking bad in the process. Trump had no choice. I don’t know what the issue is with Craig and Kendra but they sure don’t get along. That was another funny moment when they were arguing back and forth and Tana was just sitting there calmly eating her sandwich and taking it all in.

I wonder if Kendra is upset with Tana. Tana was smart to not say anything, but if I were Kendra, I might want Tana to say something to Craig about his condescending comments. I think Bren just didn't have the drive. It was sweet (though somewhat cliche) that he said what he really wanted was always just under his nose...

I think (hope) we'll see Tana & Kendra in the final two this time but then again the blonde made it to the final 2 last time so maybe Alex will squeak in there. I can't stand Craig and the more airtime he gets the more annoyed I become with the show. I don't know that I like Kendra as she seems very whiny but of the remaining she's my 2nd pick, Tana my first. It was nice to see a human side of Carolyn!

You're so right about George and Carolyn, Jimmer--it just added to the comic drama. Alex and Bren were getting cues all over the place that the desk was a disaster, but they were oblivious. Yes, Buggles, Tana had that look while eating her sandwich that said she wasn't getting in between those two!

I kind of thing that Craig's "young lady" comment may come out of habit with his kids. I think of when my mom used to aggravate my grandmother all the time, and my g-ma would yell "Gayle!!!" when she was angry. Years later, when I would aggravate my g-ma, she'd call me Gayle out of habit. When I've been aggravated at work, I tend to call co-workers by by boyfriend's name too. Even though there is no love loss between those two, I think the young lady addition to the end of the sentence could have been habit. I'm not sure which I'd dislike more: being called young lady, or an expletive.

On the game, the organizer empties every time you fill it, and then you get bonus points. You lose points when you catch something you shouldn't (the cat?) and when you miss things you should catch. I got to yes-man, but just barely. I need to get a life....
