Thx for your understanding words Sunrvrose. Back on Track LOL ((soon to wander off again as usual hehe)) Now that you mention Marcella as a possible winner I think you may be correct. She definitely is a great cook and although Marcella doesnt have the strongest personality she seems to quietly work well in the teamwork atmosphere. Martha seems like someone who would appreciate a quieter personality in an employee. We shall see

Sunshyne4u, I had to go and read your profile since you commented on it above. "Time to up the meds," indeed. I'll never forget when I was in college, I wrote my mom a letter and mentioned that I had cooked "spagetti" for dinner. My dear sweet mother, ever the school teacher, could not resist writing me back and suggesting that I had "cooked the 'h' out of the spaghetti." I swear, every single friggin' time I've written (or typed) that word in the subsequent 30 years (!), I remember her correction of my spelling. Sometimes people intend to be helpful or humourous, but at times it does hurt. I don't think my mom or Costa intended to hurt either of our feelings. Bellinis!

I have a tendency to be irritable and rant when my pain meds are wearing out LOL then I cant sleep. Thx Ketchup and Babyjax Anyways...yeah, I'm overly touchy about my losing my ability to do 'the basics' I am sure I am forgiven for my rants. we all seem to go off now and again. Anyways, I am looking forward to the next MS show. I saw some kind of a blurb which said Jim was the New Omarosa!! so I guess he is going go "Diva" on us tonight LOL

I think it is interesting to see Jim compared to Oomarosa. Maybe it is justified because of the negative attention they get but that's about the only similarity that I see. He knows very well what he is doing and how he is trying to come across. He has a definite 'game plan'. Omarosa is just plain old delusional, with a capital "D". She has no clue as to how offensive and abrasive she is and seems to think she is perfectly normal. I think Jim had a game plan as soon as he saw the "competition" (in his eyes anyway) and has enough arrogance to think that Martha will value that above all else. Unfortunately, he is not well rounded, nor to be trusted! I kind of think he will get the boot before the final two.

I figure the Jim/Omarosa comparison is a blatent attempt to boost ratings. I don't see much of a similarity between the two either. Jim is loud and obnoxious. And as Auntie says above, Oma is delusional at best. I think they BOTH had an agenda coming into their respective shows - Oma to play the diva, Jim to provide snarky (did I mention loud?) soundbites on cue. Neither are worthy of the position offered as the prize on the shows. This show can be tough enough to watch as it is at times. If Jim does not go soon it will be unbearable. Less people = more air time per. Ugh.

OT: It was not an attempt to be mean. It was (seriously!) an attempt to educate. I've noticed many occasions where posters use the word "casted." I'm a writer. Words are my life. Somewhere around the 100th time I saw "casted" I felt I had to say something. It truly WAS an attempt to educate. I'd also attempt to educate you if you used the word "insure" when "ensure" was the appropriate word to use. If you were offended, I'm sorry. But I was pretty clear when I said it was an attempt to educate.

LOL. I'd watch but it's not on. And since it conflicts with Lost, I'm not gonna watch it. Did he get kicked off yet?

AAAARRGH!! I totally thought Bethenny's decision for who to send up to the loft (as safe), was IDIOTIC. I felt so bad seeing them go. I like the Misfits (Howie, Jim and Bethenny). They are like watching an accident in slow motion. You know it's going to happen, and there's nothing you can't do to stop it, no matter how much you don't want it to happen. Bethenny's final "suit set" looked too big for her. Made me think of those of Frosted Mini Wheats commercials from the 80s. And the little cami underneath? I don't think her style "fits" with Martha. On the other hand, how over-the-top was Amanda's one outfit, with the matching oversized beads and bracelet. Yuck!! Amanda was obnoxious. Even though she seemed OK this week, I think she'll go soon. Last week, when I was making my predictions, I totally forgot about the red-headed, Judd-Nelson-nostril woman. Everyone seems to love her. I just can't handle the nostrils. She sorta reminds me of a woman who used to be on General Hospital in the 80s (Bobbi?), but I watched that show for only one summer, so who knows where or who she is now.... Couldn't this version show get it's own TASK IDEA? Why did they copy the Trump idea from a few seasons ago?

I think Bobbi's still on GH, and I do see the resemblance. I like Leslie so far. This is the first time I noticed Trump's name as an executive producer in the end credits. I guess I'm not very observant. Maybe that's why some of the tasks are similar. Bethanny's decision was wise if you consider the fact that they told Martha in the beginning that Dawna had the best track record. Bethanny knew she'd be the least likely to get fired, and since Jim has been in the board room so often he was a better bet. Bethanny's mistake was in trying to slam Dawna after she was gone. It made her look silly. The three stooges were driving me crazy, but I'm disappointed that the least obnoxious was fired even though he deserved it. Once again Bethanny and Jim skate by. Those two must have the worst track record out of all of them. I think the auction was their one and only win. The misleading promos have got to stop. I'll bet Marcela doesn't even come close to quitting and her comment in the preview was taken out of context. She sure looked like she'd been through the wringer, though.

Costa, I have no need for further education. I've had many years of advanced education and used to work in a medical field which required 100% accuracy. To now have trouble even spelling is a major thorn in my side. Feel free to ignore any further typos or incoherent sentences as I KNOW that I'll do it again. ********* I am surprised that Bethanny choose such a cheap item to sell!! Surely she should have been thinking of total money collected? you know, maybe she figured points counted were per unit sold not Dollar Value of sale. I was rooting for Howie but he sure sucked this show. He seemed completely out of focus and wasnt giving his all. Glad to see him gone. Jim did a great job considering he was thrown into it at the last min! red-headed, Judd-Nelson-nostril woman Eeyore you always crack me UP!!! you know, I miss WICKEDLY PERFECT. the tasks done for That show would have worked great for MS. Having DT as the producer is ruining this show. It is just the Apprentice part 2...I am getting a little bored.

Well, I'm thinking the logic behind the differences in price were that more people would BUY a cheaper item. It would have been interesting if they were judged on how much they marked the item up, and how much "net" sales they made, after item cost was taken into account. But then we'd TOTALLY be copying the Trump episode. Chewpito - you made my morning by using a capital letter I at least once. Leetspeak and typos are understandable on a public board. What REALLY pisses me off is the 3rd year university student who uses leetspeak in our professor-administrated, course-specific, web discussion site. I'm sure the professor must have been overjoyed that after decades of academic work, he would be reading posts written at a sub-first grade level. LOL

Leetspeak Also known as hakspeak, leetspeak is a type of communications where a user replaces letters for numbers or other characters. For example, "leet" in leetspeak would become "1337". Below is our basic conversion tool to convert your text into leetspeak. Please keep in mind there are hundreds of different ways that someone may speak leet, therefore someone may use "5" or a "$" to represent a "S".

Dang! Leetspeak is over my head, but I do typos real good. I thought it was a good show and was glad to see Howie go instead of Jim. Jim is more entertaining for me, but I don't see him winning. Dawna reminds me of Maggie from BB2005, which is not good for my viewing pleasure. The blonde on the winning team that kept talking over people needs to be told to put a sock in it. Jeez lady, let somebody get a word in.

I know what you mean. I hope Dawna is gone soon. I think Bethanny will be gone soon too. I was disgusted at the way she turned on Jim and Howie last night. Yes, Howie wasn't contributing anything, but Dawna doesn't have the adaptability she needs to survivie a business position such as the one Martha is hiring for. I think Leslie has the biggest shot of winning. She seems to be the most like MS herself out of the group. Speaking of MS, can anyone explain how in the heck MS can be an animal lover and collect taxidermy!!!!!????? Or does someone need to inform her decorator that killing animals does not love equal???????????

Denecee ITA about the loudmouth blonde on the winning team.. Amber? oh what's her name? anyway... she officially became the most hated for me last night when she wouldn't shut up, was glad the guy (don't know anyone's name it seems) stood up for himself and wouldn't let her have her way, seemed she wanted nothing but airtime. Leslie did a great job... Not sure why your all down on Dawna, thought she did great last night and think she's a lot more tolerable than Bethany, Jim or Howie, as frustrated as she was she still kept her cool and did a great job... I personally can't stand Bethany or Jim, they are ridiculous.. MS will never hire them, talk about unprofessional!
