figured I'd start the thread for this week. I like that the women got together to clear the air. Let's see if it works... What was that music they were playing when Trump was coming down the escalator? btw - it looks like Saturday's repeat is only an hour, so I wonder it they'll be showing any different footage.

thanks. I started laughing when I heard it! I didn't know the name, but knew it indicated "here comes the bigshot". I used to work in an advertising agency that had P&G as a client (Crest being one of the brands we had), so it's interesting to watch this assignment.

What's the assignment???? (I missed that part because of a telephone surveyor. I have to do those surveys because I used to be a telephone surveyor myself while in college and I feel for them folks. It's a hard job!)

marketing for a new flavor of Crest toothpaste - Vanilla Mint. Each team is given a $50,000 budget And 20,000 tubes of the toothpaste. (ETA that I missed some of it too, so I may be missing some other details of the assignment) I missed what determines the outcome though. How many they give away?

Oh wow!!!!! Another very interesting board room! Calling all the girls back to decide whether Stacy J. is crazy or not believing in the Magic 8 Ball. ROFLMAO This is hilarious!

Saturdays extra 15 minutes of boardroom chatter should be very interesting.Who thinks Stacie J got the raw deal? Who should have really been fired?

Other than that 8-Ball freaky act, what has she done wrong? And that just seemed to be her getting a little punchy with the stress and nerves. I may have missed something,,,but it seemed like she was a good worker from then on out and that the others just had it out for her. I felt sorry for her.

I thought Stacy J acted weird with the whole 8-ball episode, but crazy?? I thought some of those girls were a little overly dramatic with some of their comments..."I was horrified, I've never been so scared in my life, I hid in the corner," Please! I think they saw this as a grand opportunity to turn up the volume on the accusations about Stacy's behavior while they had Trump's ear and get her fired. And I do think she acted weird and the competition is too fierce to be doing anything to alienate oneself, so in that regard, she deserved to be fired.

I thought the whole boardroom thing was the biggest hokum fake let's have something new yet. Surely Carolyn, George, and Trump had seen the video of what happened with Stacy the week before. Even if Trump doesn't look at the tapes, I can't believe that someone didn't tip him off. So they went through that baloney of calling down all the members of the team just so they could say in the promos that it was a new boardroom event. When someone said that the leader wasn't effective because she was putting out Stacy's fires, Trump had all the info he needed. Stacy was used and abused. She could have been fired without all that humiliating drama.

Puzzled - good point! I'm sure they saw the footage from that day. I was also surprised that Stacy got fired - in the way that she did. They only showed her acting "strange" in the first episode. And they didn't show anyone talking about her acting "strange" any other time. Last week they made it look like she was off in her own world again when she was calling the temp agencies. Then we find out in Saturdays repeat that Ivana TOLD her to call the agencies. I wish I still had the first episode on tape. I seem to remember more bizarre behavior than just the 8-ball. I seem to remember that she was freaking out because she thought people were ignoring her and started spouting off and no one understood what she was talking about. But I didn't find her to be "scary". Now Sam scared me - especially when he got fired!

I don't remember the Stacy 8ball deal on the first episode. I thought it was taping and something went wrong, as usual. Grrrrr.. Can someone recap exactly what she did? Thanks!

Watching, Stacy had an 8 ball (still in the package I think) from Matell possibly and asked it questions about whether they would win. She asked several questions. That did not seem all that strange. Inappropriate, perhaps, as the others were trying to get things done and she became a tad overberaring. That is my memory anyway. It was more than the 8 ball. The strangest behavior was when they were all gathered in a room, some of them eating lunch, waiting to hear who won the toy competition. Stacy jumped up and said she knew they won. She repeated over and over, "lets just go right in their", "I know we won", "lets go in get our prize".....She was definately acting strangely and a bit hyper. The tension with her team was evident. One woman said who are you and what have to done with Stacey? One told her to calm down but most were stunned, quiet and exchanging glances. It was definately strange. Trump may or may not have seen the footage of Stacy but that is not the point. In his real business life he has no footage to see. He has to get his information from his team or collegues. He is replicating that process. He had to fire someone and I got the feeling that though the team leader and Maria made mistakes he did not think it was worth firing them. He may have been impressed with the job they did for the most part. In business he would not keep someone an entire team rejected. Stacy did screw up on getting sample sized toothpaste and they showed up 3 minutes before closing to pick up what looked like hundereds of pounds of full sized tubes. The bigger issue is she failed to work well with the entire team from the start. This show met my expectations of grand entertainment last night. They all signed on knowing that the board room can be humiliating. Bradford certainly was, too!

Just my 2cents. StacyJ's behavior at Task 1 was strange but frightening? No way. So yes I agree that she shouldn't have been fired due to that one circumstance......But, on the other hand, I would have taken her to the BoardRoom myself when she started taking it upon herself to call the Temporary Agency (Task 2) and when she botch up a simple job like picking up the toothpaste (Task 3). Her line last night that she was the "best candidate" there was hardly the case. I'd have been looking to get rid of her too........JMHO

I missed the first episode of the show so I didn't see Stacie's "strange" behavior but if I were her I would have told Trump last night that she and her team had discussed and resolved the matter and that her "strange" behavior had not been an issue with this latest task. The other two woman were simply resurrecting the issue because they were on the hot seat. I don't think that Stacie would have gone far in this game because she is too cut off from her teammates but I think she could have saved herself last night if she'd told Trump that they had discussed the issue of her behavior that day and put it behind them.

Stacie J. was on the Tony Danza show for like three minutes. She claims she was voted out because she was strong. She claimed Trump was manipulated and "bamboozled" by the women. Tony Danza gave her an 8 ball as a souvenir. She said the vanilla toothpaste tasted great. She owns a Subway franchise and also models.

Stacie was right about one thing. The women did manipulate and bamboozled Trump. I fully understand Trump's decision and would most likely have made the same choice if I were in that position. I don't see a man like Trump getting to where he is by taking chances on people who have others thinking they are nuts. But I don't see this as Trump's bad. I see it as catty bitchy behavior on the part of the women. Even Caroline saw it that way...she was really surprised at the decision. I honestly don't think Stacie is Omarosa like, nor is she CEO material and I fully believe she would have been voted out earlier than most in the game. But I would prefer that people get outsted because they screw up, and not just cause the mob mentality doesn't like them. Oh well... the women won't have Stacie to blame anymore... wonder what their excuses will be next week?

Could it be that Trump fired Stacie primarily because the others unanimously disliked her (teamimg is a key component of his tasks for the first part of the season which he stresses often), and secondarily because she displayed a lack of control (what others called 'crazy')? He mentioned her team really didn't like her last night at least a couple of times...
