Maybe that's the big shocker. Like maybe they catch Omarosa getting ideas from someone else on what insulting lines to use. She's made it pretty clear in the past that the villain thing is an act that she intends to keep up as long as it pays. Since Sally Jesse kept emphasizing that the theme was who's real and who's fake, it would make sense that this is what they were leading up to. Everyone else was given a pass on being fake, including Janice which still has me scratching my head. This whole thing was probably set up to expose Omarosa as being fake, perhaps through scripted lines.

We know she was waiting for a phone call from her agent about whether or not to leave, and then later she came out and started in on Janice about her children hating her. We didn't see what happened on the phone. Could you imagine her and her agent cooking up the plan over the phone to push Janice's buttons and make the fight last longer? She knew she was being monitored, though.

Donut, could it have been when CC was on Rock and Roll Jeopardy? I know that he's been on something as well. I think that might be it.

OOOHH!!! Curly reminded me of something...remember when oma got the call about death in her family/friend's family????? maybe they will show that was fake!!!!!!!!!!!

I think she knows it is comming cuz she looks really uncomfortable sitting there AND she made a point to tell the others no matter what to stick up for each other

I used to actually like Rock and Roll Jeopardy! Whatever happened to it? Did it disappear when Jeff Probst started hosting Survivor? Remember, he was the host of R and R Jeopardy. It's funny because I remember watching Mark McGrath on there from Sugar Ray and being amazed at how much trivia he knew! So I wasn't surprised when he eventually showed up on that entertainment show as a commentator. I get the impression he loves pop culture.

The fact that O has fans amazes and scares me.

I am not a lawyer, but couldn't Janice sue O for defamation of character? Or do they sign away those rights in their contract with the show?

My guess is that the reason the other castmates refused to give their opinions of Janice's alleged drug use at the Dirty Laundry show is that they were afraid of a possible lawsuit. You'll notice none of them said they didn't believe Janice used drugs. They just said they don't know for a fact that she does. The sad thing is that at least if she had been abusing drugs and alcohol there would be an explanation for the way she behaves.

That whole episode was way disappointing. Not a thing was revealed about Omarosa that was news, except maybe for the one shot of her saying she liked Janice. You could tell from the reactions of that audience and the questioning by Sally Jesse that either they had no idea that Omarosa wasn't the only villain on the show or they had been coached. They showed a montage of Janice's nastiness that included her calling that bowler "Rain Man" and the audience applauded at the end. Very fishy.

I wonder if the Pepa woman was supposed to play a bigger role in this show. She seems almost invisible. Meanwhile Caprice and Bronson seem to feed off each other.

Did Omorasa's husband leave her, or did she leave him? I missed it.
When it comes to choosing who not to like, I would rather not have to choose, there is too much to dislike here. Dirty laundry seemed to gloss over how each person acted.

Jose seemed to get an air of the bemused "I am just an observer".
Pepa was an enabler, nice, but an enabler
Caprice looking for her place in the house - she seemed to not know how to get attention, even with several scenes that she was supposed to be the start (the underwear, the bus ride with Bronson)
The tattoo guy, nice, capable, but no competition for attention. Seeems like a nice guy just coming in when there is no other opportunity.
Bronson - undecided role, is he a perv, is he a good guy. He seems to believe what people (Jancie and Omerosa) say at face value, can anyone be that naive?

I think people accept this job because they have something to promote, and basically, Omerosa and Janice are stealing that opportunity from each other. I do believe that this reality show has everyone assigned a role before they walk in and they are supposed to play to it, but Omerosa seems too over the top on her role and Janice seems to be changing the script.

Do you think the next VH1 reality show will be with Janice?

I don't see Pepa as an enabler at all.

Really, she seems to listen sympathetically without questioning any of her statements. Actually a lot of people don't feel it is their time to confront any of the more absurd acts.

Basically, I think everyone who got on this show to kick start whatever, may get some attention, but most of the TV time is being hogged by Omerosa and Janice.

Right she listens but I don't think she really cares too much to question.

I am sad that as you mentioned SadiesM we haven't really gotten to know the rest of the cast except for O and Janice. I'd like to know more bout the others. I mean they should get equal time.

If the interview on one of the archived pages is a clue, I doubt VH1 will be working with Janice on future shows. They made it sound like she'd burned those bridges, complaining about the pay to the interviewer. What's interesting is her comments on the final episode coming up. She was angry that there was a fight and nobody in the house backed her up. Maybe that's why she's seen climbing out a window. It must've been a pretty bad fight for her to go from saying nice things about Bronson during Dirty Laundry to calling him the nasty names she used in the interview.

Sadiesmom, that's an interesting point about coming on the show to promote something. Janice came to promote her book, and Omarosa is promoting herself lest people should forget about her. Caprice was promoting her lingerie. Maybe that's why those three get so much screen time. Pepa isn't seen half as much as Caprice, who I'd never heard of until this show (what is she famous for?). I also thought it was odd that both Caprice and Bronson can be as old as they are and still be so naive.

Curlyq (love the name!), don't forget Jose - he was promoting his book - he even had the book signing.

Pepa is part of the 80s hip hop/rap group Salt N Pepa, only song I know of them is "Whatta Man", and I only am familiar with the chorus of that song, not the whole thing.

she's promoting a new CD.
