I figure I'll start this, and seeing as I have the Update tonight, does anyone on the EASTCOAST want to spoil for me(and Costacat)??? I'll watch, but come back on commercials.

Everyone up in area outside of boardroom. Various contestants give private 1st impressions of others (trash talk). Robyn, send them in. Girls must sit on left, enter first, men sit on right. Trump Introduces George Carolyn. says, I bet you think its guys vs. girls. No. Explains the TWIST. They go up to room. Separate into teams. Must pick name. Commercial. Oh Street net worth is THREE TIMES as much as college team.

Alex is restaurant manager. Alex: Todd just sat araound didn't get trained. Todd dismissed Alex. Street - Brian likes John the PM. Going to do a Western cowboy theme? Contest?

Book - Marketing Danny and Steph meet with BK bigwig. They have no NAME for the burger (they actually chose same as other team), they have no ideas. They look stupid in the meeting. Taking too long. Steph keeps coming up with ideas, Danny says no, they start from scratch. Todd calls, how are things going, is there ANYTHING I can do? Danny says no and hangs up. Danny hard to manage. Street - Trip for 2 to vegas, ticket guy is in an APARTEMNT, sketchy. His dog pees on Tana. Book - Danny steph still thinking.... .... .... .... Todd calls, theme is TRIPLE PLAY like in baseball. FINALLY. Todd is happy, he thinks the team is good because it has UNITY. "UNBELIEVEABLE" is their cheer. Commercial.

Street - asks BK staff "Have any of you gone to college?" Neither have WE. We are one of you, lets have fun,and kick butt. Book - "WAnna buy the burger" No. Danny has horrible marketing setup. A bunch of cardboard boxes stacks, with a cutout hole. Throw a ball. He plays guitar. Todd does nothing. Street - nice marketing, signs, costumes. WIn trip. Tana talks ppl into burgers. Good sales. Book - 1230 lunch rush, they can't handle it, not enough trained cashiers, Erin sucks. Todd is useless as he did not bother to get trained. Street - draw the winner of the trip. One girl feels confident, but not counting chickens before they hatch. (Ed - I think Street spent a lot of money)

Boardroom - Magna 139 units, NW - 182 units. Street wins a tour of wine vault/cellar at 21 Club (exclusive place). Trump/Melania meet them, they take tour, go through this HUHGE brick wall, to this GORGEOUS wine room, with a big dinner table. They have dinner. Brian asks Trump about some story about a good samaritan that helped with Trump limo trouble, Trump paid the deed on their house for them as a thank you. Trump says yes it's true, Brian replies with swear words. F-ing awesome!! Crass. Magna in loft - Todd leads lynch mob against Danny, Danny is shocked. No mention of what ppl think of Todd's job as PM. Danny says Todd has a misperception of reality. Commmercial

Loft - Todd says he's bringing Danny/Alex. Alex is pissed. Steph allies with Danny, saying it's not going to be blamed on MARKETING. Erin goes into Todd's room and cries, doesn't want to eliminate a teammate. Boardroom - Trump - Do you feel dumb you lost to HS grads?? Caroline - promo was AWFUL, George agrees. You look like a street performer, didn't sell specific product. Todd blames Danny, trump says you didn't MANAGE. Danny - debate over how he dresses, no one agrees with it. His ability doesn't follow through. Who would you fire? Danny - Todd Steph - Danny (backstabs Danny) Bren - D Kendra - TODD Alex- Danny Trump - You were difficult to manage. Todd takes Alex Danny.

George says the loss was at point-of-sale (POS) Missed what Caroline said. Todd why Alex? He was responsible for kitchen/front. Alex you were responsible for the decision to have only 2 on POS? Yes. Alex, you're no longer safe, you were 2 minutes ago. George - Team leader should know about these issues. Trump - Todd couldn't manage, Alex did a bad job, but Todd didn't lead, no one respected you. Danny, you were a TOTAL DISASTER. But Todd, you have no leadership skills. These guys can be lead, but you can't lead. You're fired.

I thought so too KL. He was portrayed EARLY as not learning the POS. I knew that would come back to haunt him. But hey, we KNEW the Street Smarts team would win right? It sets the dramatic stage for the entire competition.

You know, the more I think about it, the more it makes me mad that Danny wasn't fired. The guy is SOOOOOO not what Trump is looking for. He is around for pure entertainment value being the "eccentric guy" role. If this show were for real, they would have fired Danny, and given Todd a real scare, by saying something like "Don't think we haven't noticed your crappy leadership skills". There is more room for improvement in Todd than there is in Danny. (Maybe I'm just mad because I picked Todd as my season long choice in the Poll, even though my first instinct was to choose Alex. Grrrr.)

Two observations - The clock that hung in the reception area of the board room is gone. Now we won't be able to figure out how long they were in the board room. There are two pictures there now. The cab that Todd got in had a sign on top advertising a Yahoo job site saying "find the right job". I thought that was hilarious!

DT kept Danny just because everyone hates him. This year's Omarosa. Can you imagine being locked up in an apt with his singing 24/7? Maybe he should have tried out for American Idol instead.
