FWIW, don't forget that it's two hours tonight. Or rather, it's on for two hours (isn't it just two separate shows?).

I can't believe he told Alla that she was in no danger, to go back upstairs ... heck, she was the project manager, why was she so safe? She was just as responsible for too much money being spent on those darn carriages as Adam was.... but then we knew she was a pet ...

Felicia was horrible at defending herself tonight. She was the one I felt deserved to stay the most. ITA Ladytex about how Alla was the one who initially budgeted most of their money to Adam, and Adam had the WORST idea. Felicia worked with all that she had. But the team did suck, and they deserved to lose for sure. If I would have been Felicia in the boardroom, I would have said "I got the most people with the paltry amount of money you gave me to work with, and MY IDEA was the best idea we had. Alla, you're to one who invested more money into a crappy idea, and Adam, it was your crappy idea." And when Adam said he was successful, I would have called BS on him. I would have said "Um...your only time as PM got us a loss." I'm glad Adam is gone. I hope Alla and Felicia lose next week too. I think Felicia will go, and we will see the 3 strongest candidates at the end.

I'm not surprised Adam is gone. Why did Trump let him go, rather than Felisha? What was the task? And Eeyore, I think Felisha is gonna be next to go, providing they lose next week.

Oh PS - I LOVE LOVE LOVED that Randal and Rebecca bought the megaphones. I would have done it too. Do you think Trump goes "Oh that other guy was talking to the property people FIRST, I'll find somewhere else to buy..." I also loved how Bill and Trump commended them on snapping up the megaphones!! Woo hoo!!

Costa, The task was to advertise Shania Twain's new perfume using "wrapping" -- basically huge sheets of plastic wrap that have the product and phone number on it. The teams could wrap anything they wanted -- the goal was to get as many people as possible to call the 1-800 number to get a free sample of the perfume. Randall and Rebecca hired all people (60 of them) and had them go all over Manhattan -- Spanish speakers in Spanish speaking sections, etc. Adam, Alla & Felicia spetn 60% of their budget on hiring carriages and horses and then put the wrapping on them. They only hired 15 people (no money left) and still they only lost by 5 phone calls! I'm very glad to see Adam go, and I'm still rooting for a RANDALL win!

ACK! Costa - I missed your post earlier when I was posting the second time! Then I went out. I bet you're right in the middle of it all now.... Hey did anyone else think Shania was boring? I felt like there was a REALLY awkward dynamic during their dinner. Like Randal and Rebecca didn't care to hear her talk, and then when Rebecca toasted Randal, Shania goes "That's nice." but it sounded sort of insincere. Felicia looks like the type that would have KILLED to see Shania (and will go out and buy her stink juice). The look on Felicia's face when they announce the reward was hilarious.Such disappointment. Blegh. Shania.

I think Bill is beginning to look just as crusty as Carolyn. I think they need to do it with each other. On Trump's boardroom table.

How the heck could Carolyn sit there with a straight face and say that Felisha and Adam were the weakest contestants left, knowing how lousy Rebecca has been? Her record speaks for itself. The only reason she's still there is because of Trump's crush on her, not because she has any strengths. If I were Felisha I would've defended my record. Alla got to go upstairs because she was smart enough to point out that they needed to consider all of the work each person has done since the beginning rather than just their performance on one task. If the preview is any clue (which it probably isn't) I don't think it will be Rebecca or Alla leaving next time. It sounded like someone ran out of steam, and I don't see either one of those two giving up. I could see Randall losing interest and I could see Felisha getting frustrated and giving up, but not the other two. It may not have been unethical for Randall and Rebecca to impersonate Capital Edge to get the megaphones (though I personally thought it was sleazy), but I would've read the Radio Shack employees the riot act for selling items that were placed on hold without even getting names. When you're asked to put something on hold, you put it on hold for a reason. If Trump had reached an agreement with a company and they turned around and sold to his competitor instead he would not be applauding.

Just finished watching my tape, couple thoughts: I thought the Shania Twain posters were lousy, on or off the carriages. The teams weren't responsible, but who in heck decided to put two dark stripes on either side of the poster and obscure the last number in the phone number? At first I thought the stripes were some kind of defect in production, but I guess for some reason they were supposed to be there. What I liked about the Capital Edge team was the two women's high power individual selling. The idea of loaning their cell phones and even dialing the number for the person was great. Considering how much they limited themselves (Union Square only), it's amazing they came as close as they did to Randall/Rebecca. (And without the megaphones, too.) At one point, Capital Edge says they have 9 carriages on the street, but I think in the board room they referred to hiring 14...did all of the carriages NOT get put into use? I thought Rebecca's idea of putting Spanish speaking temps into Spanish Harlem was great! Captial Edge could have won if they had done the same with their Spanish-speaking temps. Wish there had been a DIFFERENT 800 number for the carriages, so it could have been known how much they contributed....because it took an hour and 1/2 of everyone's time to get them on the street.

Clutter, I was also wishing the carriages had their own number. Excel had 62 people out there to Capital Edge's 18. I would think the carriages had to have contributed something for them to only come up 5 calls short. One thing I didn't understand in the boardroom was Felisha saying they never thought they'd need more people. Early in the task, she fought Alla to try to get more budget for more people, because she thought the people idea was better than the carriages. I also felt Alla deserved a lot of the blame and didn't like it when she was sent back to the suite seemingly without getting any criticism at all. Trump is usually pretty rough on the PMs even if he isn't going to fire them. I think that since he knew he wasn't going to fire her, he sent her up so that he could truly see Felisha and Adam battle each other. He didn't want Alla helping either of them make their case.

I have felt for a long time that Alla will win this year. From the first hour. There was a shot of Clay talking about how proud he is of himself making it this far....being a gay man and all. I have never understood this comment whether it come from him or any other gay reality show contestant. What in the world does that have to do with anything? They are people, just like anyone else in my opinion so why centre yourself out like that? My intention is not to start a huge conversation about being gay.....I just hate seeing people centre themselves out.

Spitfire, I know what you mean... Clay's attitude appears to be: "I'm not different, I'm just like everyone else, unless I do something good because then I deserve extra consideration because I'm different and not like everyone else". *insert eye roll here*

I think Adam and Fel should have ganged up on Alla. Adam could have said he was just presenting an idea and Alla did not have to accept it. That it turned out to be a bad idea, is not his fault. Alla ran with it. Fel should have really hit home about her lack of budget, another Alla issue. She was weak. Then, Trump would have been forced to consider that Alla the Stripper was not so wonderful after all. Furthermore, I agree with Curly more than Eyeor on the megaphones. It is not as if R&R just beat them to the store. R&R falsely represented themselves. Finally, Shania looked aweful in that dumb hat. I still love Rebecca. Dalm.
