Sassynegal-I don't think they should have had to pay for ANY of the shirts since they not only got one backwards but they also got paint on one of the others. I have no idea why it was so far away but I think it was a good idea to put the logo on the shirts. Jimmer-I agree it was pretty nasty how The Donald fired Angie. She did choke though. I haven't heard so many 'ummms' in a presentation since I was in high school!

LOL! What makes this show fun to watch is that it is so bad. I agree that her presentation was awful.

I thought it was almost misogynist, the way Donald T spoke down to Angie. He should have fired all three of them LOL

I haven't even watched the show yet, and I think Chris should have been fired... He just rubs me the wrong way...

Angie's presentation was bad, no doubt. Since Alex was the PM, how come he wasn't asked why he didn't do it? If anyone else had been PM, that question would have been asked. Carolyn seemed like she wanted Trump to come to the conclusion that Alex abdicated all responsibility, but unfortunately he did not. Trump was extremely mean spirited this week. I think he had set Alex up to turn that team around and justify all the praise being given to him. But now that that has not happened, oh no, it's not Alex's fault ... it's the other people on the team ... bah ...

Beside thinking that the firing of Angie was cruel and wrong, I was also upset with the way Bren took over the presentation for Magna. Yes, he did a good job, but it was Tana who was set to do it, she did the work. To me, he just wanted to hog the spotlight - "See me Mr. Trump". This happened last season too and the girl (can't remember her name) who did it got credit for it. That is just wrong! Also, why did it take Craig and Bren to go to the print shop? It was a job that one could do. What does Craig have against Kendra?

I too noticed in previous shows that Greg seemed a tad "different" when it came to Kendra. I like Kendra. She reminds me of someone I used to work with in appearance, speech, mannerisms and attitude. Not sure what Greg's problem with her is... hope it comes out later.

Rossbo, thanks for finding that on RealityBlurred. I had that same exact suspicion when I watched that last night. For one thing, I'm pretty sure last week, I remember Trump praising the meatball pizza and telling the candidates that Dominos was adding it to their menu. Now, all of the sudden, "nobody wants a meatball pizza, what they really want is...." Pretty feeble attempt to save face after Papa John's great coup last week! And, I agree with everyone's take here on how Trump had to set it up to make his Chosen One look good. May as well end the show now, since we know who he wants!

I am really disappointed after last night's show. In the past, I felt that Trump did have good reasons for firing whoever he fired. Last night, Trump was a disaster. Angie did a very poor job, but Chris' error was worse. He should have been fired for losing the credit card. Also, that made him unavailable to help his team with the actual task. I was amazed he even opened his mouth (with his angry attitude) to say something about 45 mins. making a difference but not a big difference. He was gone 2 1/2 - 3 hr to retrieve that lost credit card. I really wish Trump would've just said "I'm letting Carolyn make this decison tonight." I do think Alex was a really poor PM. I think Chris was worse in losing the card. I am very disappointed in Trump for his decision to fire Angie (not because I'm a huge Angie fan) and his decision to say Alex was made into a loser by two other losers. Very poor. It has really taken away from the rest of the season for me. I try to keep in mind the editing, but there seems to be no way to justify Trump favoring Alex, I think if there was, it would have been shown.

When asked on The View, Trump admitted to keeping Sam one more round because of his entertainment value. Mark Burnett must have given him a gag order shortly after that blunder. The next season, in another interview, he denied that contestants were ever kept for the spice they brought to the drama. He could have fired either one last night, it really did not matter. He does not respect either one and it was down to who would be better to keep one more time. Chris is a time bomb and will trip himself up next week. Angie could fly under the radar and he could miss the opportunity. I am enjoying this season.

I think Bren was supposed to jump in where he was - he had all the facts at hand and seemed like he knew his stuff. I think their team wanted to spread out with a male and a female presenting the merchandise. I don't care for Kendra- she just irritates me for some reason. And she needs to powder her forehead.

I agree Fruitbat "He could have fired either one last night, it really did not matter. He does not respect either one and it was down to who would be better to keep one more time. Chris is a time bomb and will trip himself up next week. Angie could fly under the radar and he could miss the opportunity. I don't think he has selected Alex as a favorite at this point necessarily - I just think he was not going to tell Alex he was safe as he he did last week and maybe even was hinting to Alex that this doesn't look good for him. But Ultimately her lack of presentation cost them the task (that is what the executives told him) and Chris was useless on the task so even though Alex wasn't a star by any means (of course editing only shows you part of what happened) Chris and Angie were worse than Alex - and neither of them were pointing thier fingers at him but only drawing attn to each other so it was only logical to fire one of the two of them. IMO! I think Trump may be keeping Chris for so long because he likes the fire in him and sees potential if he cleans up his act.

It looks like in the previews for next week, Bren moves over to join Alex and Chris on NetWorth... that should be interesting!

Bren? Oh, good grief. Yeah, that'll be a big help to Net Worth. I'm telling you, Trump's disdain for Angie started in that boardroom when he fired Erin. He wanted to fire Angie instead of Erin but George and Carolyn had gone to bat for Angie and pressured Trump to keep her. That's why Erin made that insulting remark (that Carolyn had to call his attention to) that left him no choice but to fire her or have George and Carolyn looking foolish. He really wanted to keep Erin, and it was just a matter of time before he found an excuse to fire Angie out of spite. Whoami, I remember that comment too (about Domino's selling the meatball pizza). It's interesting to hear how they had to backtrack. That Papa John guy must be getting a good laugh over this. Didn't the American Eagle people say the Net Worth designs were good, but it was just the presentation that wasn't so hot? You'd think they'd be more concerned with whether the items will end up on the clearance rack rather than with how smooth the pitch was.

I think Tana performed fantastically compared to Alex in the last challenge and Trump knows it. IMHO he was just doing damage control for Alex's reputation because he plans to have him sitting in the F2. But it seems far less likely now that he will get the job over Tana. I think DT just wants to make the finale interesting & was also molding Alex as a backup in case Tana falls through I agree with most of the comments here. Angie got crapped on bigtime even tho she had good reason to be fired. ITA she was probably too flabbergasted to defend herself (tho I wish she had!) One thing I can say in Chris' favor is that he defends himself very well, and I think Trump likes that. KUDOS TO CAROLYN for pointing out Alex's failures as the PM She went up in my book. I like the way she backed Angie a bit too. I know Trump was in a difficult position with Alex looking bad but imho it came off as insulting to us an audience to pretend like none of this was his fault. FWIW I think Angie was on DT's bad side because she was clearly disgusted by his interplay with Erin. She did not see him in a favorable light and he knew it.

Good points Buggles! Pixie, yes I remember that. The poor guy had a panic attack. Curlyq, they mentioned that Net Worth did not give them as much, so it was both products and presentation.

I have to agree with everyone who felt that Angie got the short end of the stick in the board room. Trump fired Angie because i agree there was something between them and he did not like her and it was an opportunity to fire her as opposed to firing either Chris or Alex. Again, i agree with everyone who saw through Trump trying to portray Alex as a winner brought down by losers. I can't believe they didn't edit that out because it was really an ignorant statement and a flat out lie. <QT> Now having said all that let me also state how thoroughly disgusting i found Trumps attitude and logic used in the board room. We all know they have access to all the taping of whats going on before the board room so Trump knew Alex and Chris did not contribute during this project.The fact that Angie stumbled through the presentation really gave Trump a way to not have to fire Alex.The Execs had previously stated that their project lacked creativity, didnt show knowledge of their target market,and that the presentation wasn't impressive were the reasons they lost. Alex as PM was responsible for oversight of those areas as Caroline pointed out so well. Trump however had laid the outcome out there with the way he positioned Alex against Chris and Angie. I so wanted Angie to read what Trump was up to and stand up for herself. I wanted her to defend his characterization of her as a loser so bad and expose him for all his bias because she should have seen she was the odd one out that night and had nothing else to lose.She could have defended herself with class and dignity and still showed she was not as he wanted to portray her. Especially after she saw and heard what he said about Alex and she knew what type of Manager he wasn't. She heard what was said about Chris and could see Trump wasn't going to fire him either that nite. When Trump told her she was fired she should have taken that opportunity when thanking him to clear up the mis statements. I think she was so shocked at his comments and behavior towards her that she couldn't respond. That was too bad!
