I was truly hoping Trump would fire all three of them and was very disappointed that he didn't. I like Andy but just think he is too young for the position that Trump is offering the winner. But Andy really lost my faith when he kept insisting that Jen had done more then Sandy. Say what? I love the fact that Ivana stoops to the low level she does next week as I don't care for her any more then I do for Jen. For all of her 'superiority' attitude, this behavior shows she is definitely not above anyone. And once again, I think it will come down to two men in the final with my vote being for Kwame ~ at least for now.

Any thoughts as to why Jen is skating??? i.e. why the losing PMs always jump to protect her. It seems to be the mystery of the season. DT & Carolyn are obviously disturbed by this but also seem fascinated.

I was not impressed with DT sending Andy home last night, especially if his grounds for firing him were because he 'got trampled in the boardroom'. All I saw of the boardroom was the two girls screaming back and forth at each other, with Andy sitting between them. If I were Andy, being a 22-year old male between two females who are 10 years my senior, I wouldn't be jumping into the middle of that, either. Jen and Sandy came off as completely unprofessional -- they were still bickering getting into the elevator!! -- and I don't blame Andy (especially being younger and trying to prove himself in the business world!) for not reducing himself to the same thing. For DT to tell Andy that as debate champion, he didn't do well in the boardroom, that's just absurd. That wasn't a debate that Andy was in the middle of, it was a catfight. One of those girls should have gone last night, not Andy. Just MHO.

DT is on to Jen, did you hear in the voice over at the beginning he mentioned how she took credit for Ivana's idea?? LOL He even asked her why she skates by...her days are numbered!

I agree, Karen! Jen just skates by, as Ivana indicated last night, because of her body and face. I think Andy was a bit smitten by her even and that is why he supported her over Sandy. I can't remember all the past boardroom meetings where she flew under the radar because the PM defended her. Has the PM in these cases always been a guy? (I saw something on TV the other day about how blonds get so much more attention than brunettes. It was a sex myths show. Anyone else see it? It was interesting...and frustrating as I'm not a blond.) All that said, I do think that Andy was too immature overall, especially with the money bribe last night and the insulting withholding of food until the project was finished. Professional people don't need to be motivated by such means because a job well done is what motivates most successful and creative people.

The voice overs are done in post-production editing, weeks or months after the actual 'contest'. While I'm sure Carolyn/George did fill him in on the actual idea-person (not Jen), he may not have been aware of that before the boardroom. I agree that he see's through Jen's manipulations, and if he didn't hire Troy because of the lack of college degree, he is not going to hire Sandy either. I'llnarrow my prediction down to Kevin or Kelly as the winner (although Jen may make it to final two). 'squeek'

I watched the extended boardroom stuff on Yahoo earlier today. Caroline makes a comment to Jen after Jen says she's such a hard worker, and that's why PM's defend her, and Caroline came back with something like "Well I SEE what goes on during work part of the task, I just don't get to see what goes on in the suite." She basically implies that she knew Jen sucked during the tasks, but somehow up in the suite is where she gets people on her side. Interesting footage regarding Jen. I actually LIKE Jen. My final order is this: first out Ivana, then Sandy, Jen, Kevin, with Kelly winning, although I would be JUST as happy if Kevin won.

I understood the girls bickering; they were fighting to stay in the game. Trump couldn’t understand why Andy couldn’t keep up and defend himself. It could appear that Andy isn’t as quick on his feet without the benefit of serious prep work that he’s afforded for a college debate meet. Although, I very much dislike Jen and would have indeed enjoyed her firing, Andy’s ideas like the $100 influence money and holding the pizza for ransomed…well he looked green. That being said…I loved the geography theme. I LOVED it! But I am a geography nut and not Pepsi’s target market. And indeed I rarely drink pop/soda. WTF, Ivana dropping her drawers?

I vote for Ivana to go all the way! I think Trump will pick her because of his ex-wife's name. He's not going to pick a white male again, is he? Otherwise I completely agree with Karen's above comments about the two women screaming, sandwich style, with Andy in the middle. How does anyone call that a debate? I'm also kind of tired of George and Carolyn. Are they anything but YES MEN? Trump will say something like, "Well I had to do that, right?" Invariably the yes men will agree with the boss. I am amused by Carolyn's steely ice queen routine. Not sure of George's appeal.

I would be floored if Ivana made it to the final two! Why would any CEO hire her or keep her if they did? She whines, she points fingers, she hasn't been PM since the first time she failed so miserably. How telling of her tactics, when she went to Andy to get him to get rid of Jen. They seem to forget that forming alliances is the "other reality" show. Personally, I would hire someone on their merits and strong points, not for their ability to fight or sound louder than the other. Jen, Sandy and Ivana need to go!!

Andy definately was the middle of the sandwich.He was eaten alive. He didn't stand a chance. If you were ever in a high powered meeting with much at stake, well you better know how to take a stand not...otherwise...like Andy you'll be eaten alive. Trump knows this. Shouting, loud voice, emotions and tempers are not uncommon in the boardrooms across the world.

Eeyore, he is the "fake" boss on Fox's "My Big Fat Obnoxious Boss"... he's an actor playing a Trump-like billionaire... BTW, it's actually Mr. N. Paul Todd and if you re-arrange the letters, you'll get "Donald Trump"

OMG that's funny. I love the name-anagram site. My boyfriend's name spells Greeks Amigo, or Greek Amigos, which is funny because he is greek. I also like the site that finds what your phone number spells.

Newman, if the most qualified person for the job is a white male then I hope Trump chooses him. I hate when these shows choose for a basis other than most qualified. Andy tried to take the high road with that catfight and lost. It was a ridiculous scene. What is so wrong with forming an alliance anyways? Isn't this business where anything goes? Since when do you have to be completely up front with the person you want thrown out?

Maybe the BEST PERSON to run one of Trump's companies is a white male. Afterall, he is a white male. Does he have any women bosses in his companies. I wonder... Speaking for myself I feel more comfortable taking instruction from a male who is older than me. OK, having said that...I change my mind, LOL. At this point few are older than me at work. Secondly I have had very good female bosses as well. I do agree with Annie's critique of the choice of Ivana. I guess I find her "entertaining". I think she's "cute", interesting, innovative, fun, sexy. Love her energy. OK, OK...I'm on a fantasy date, you caught me! We get to see what they want us to see. Editing is everything. How would we know that Jen stole Ivana's idea, or tried to make it like it was her own, if they didn't decide to show that? I just thought a woman would win this time for variety. I don't think it's going to be "the best person". If they just want white males competing bring Bradford and Raj back. I think it'll be the black guy now? Trump will do this to expand his audience for next season. Or a woman...I don't think it's really about the best person. Why is Kelly better than Bradford?
