What is with ALEX? He is LOW under the radar for sure. Does he EVER get sound-byte or camera time?

I am puzzled!! $5000 startup money given...used to set up trailer and WAGES?? of workers. Okay, so let me get this straight. The casting agent was promised $1000 for a day of seeing prospects in the trailer. Was this 1000 OUT of the 5000? the actor/actress wannabees had to pay $25 each to see the casting director. HOW did the total end up to be the weirdo number of $961??????? Anyone know? Surely that question should be answered. It just seems a little fishy that ONE casting director could see more people than THREE spa staff. * OH FINAL THOUGHT! Massage a go-go GEEEEESSHHHH!!! I am glad michael is gone! I bet he would have done a really good job as pimplike barter trying to get guys into the sleazy-sounding SPA ROTFL I truly see him as one of those guys standing outside a Skinclub trying to coherse customers in to see the strippers. Ah yes, my inquiring mind must know LOL

Thanks, Sunshyne--that makes a little more sense than if they were in Manhattan.

Sun -- I think the casting director won over 3 spa staff because of pricing. To achieve $1000, she'd need to see 40 people. If the spa people were focusing on 10 minute chair massages or hand treatments at $1 a minute -- they'd need 100 people to hit $1000. The spa probably had more customers but their price (while appropriate and "usual" for the service) took them out of the running. I have to say, although there are people on both teams I'd like to see banished from TV forever -- I actually thought the casting idea was creative. Given the number of actors in NYC, it seemed like one of the more appropriately placed risks. Glad they won -- they finally thought outside the box!

They also spent money on decorating the trailers and making flyers

What cracks me up with Michael is how he claims to be so smart but last week he said "mediocrisy" and this week he called himself the "escape goat" for the team. I rewound numerous times on that one. Those both had me LOL. I like Erin for some reason. She has spunk and she doesn't seem to get too emotional like alot of women on this show do. I hate seeing the major eye rolling and attitude in the BR.

I agree Fab...Erin is my favorite BookSmarts contestant. John is my favorite StreetSmarts contestant. I sure would love to see them work on a project together....

She does need to do something with that hair, though. It's pretty, but doesn't look very professional. She looks like Cher 40 years ago!

I originally liked Erin, too, but after seeing her hypocrisy with putting out that tacky commercial and then feigning offense at Michael's a-go-go suggestions and models serving coffee ideas I lost respect for her. Then there's the way she foolishly led the charge to try to circumvent the exemption rule. I do give her props for being able to pronounce "shmexemption", though. I can't wait for Kendra and Craig to start making themselves more noticeable. So far I like Angie, Tana, and John. From Magna I liked Stephanie before she made a habit of criticizing every decision to hedge her bets. I just noticed that Magna is down to 5 people while Net Worth has 7. I wonder if Trump will continue Book Smarts vs. Street Smarts for the whole competition, or if he'll cave and take one from Net Worth to give to Magna.

I have liked Angie too and thought for sure she would be F4. Then last episode they made her appear weak & I thought uh-oh....

I like Erin in the Boardroom. She tells it straight and articulate. But she is getting lots of camera time. Where is Craig & Alex? And Kendra. Not much on the interviews (wait, I think Craig had one the other night - after having that crown put on his head). Trump did ask whom would you take from the other team. But if he wants to play by his own rules, then he has to keep the teams as is. Two weeks ago the numbers were also uneven. Maybe if it gets to 4 against 7, but 5 to 7 is still a competition if it's about brain power (not manpower). 'squeek'

Y'know, Michael really DID have to go. I'm not sure how he made it past the selection process. But his argument how difficult it was to sell a massage to a man was just totally an excuse. He should've been selling DAY SPA services. Seeing as the metrosexual was practically born in NYC (OK, that's an exaggeration but y'know what I mean), they should've been able to get a ton of men in for a quick massage or manicure. I actually like Erin, up to a point. She does articulate well and handles herself well in the boardroom. But at this late date, there are still too many who are flying so far under the radar, they are just not even getting any air time! Should be interesting to see what happens next week. I like the 7 vs 5 dynamic... I'd hate to see Trump move a street smart over to the book smart folks. I'd love to see him keep it uneven, maybe requiring some of the extras to do only behind the scenes work...

Keeping it even would be fun if DT took a clue from Survivor and made the team with extra players "sit out" the extra players, and then the people who "sat out" the challenge were exempt from the final board room... Would LOVE to see the scramble for those seats...LOL

It's an interesting premise Kep - but I think DT would think less of those who chose to sit out since he's looking for go-getters. It would help separate the wheat from the chaff from that angle though.

I think it would be cool if the people who were sat out were NOT EXEMPT from the boardroom, but we never know how DT chooses who to fire. The PM could choose to bring someone that sat out INTO the BR, and you'd never know if DT would fire them because they wanted to sit out (lazy), or if that increases the odds that the PM would be fired (as the person who sat out had nothing to do with their loss). I wonder what gambles people would take in THAT situation.

Yeah...maybe the ones who sat out should still be eligible to go to the board room. On Survivor, the non participant would still be eligible for booting if the tribe lost.... I could see Trump firing someone who sat out a project, especially if that person had specific skills for that particular project but chose to sit it out anyway... Anyway you look at it, making the extras sit out the project could add dimesion to individual strategies....
