I can't spoil tonight, as I have a presentation due tomorrow morning, and I am only 1/3 finished. If it wasn't a PRESENTATION, I'd probably readjust my priorities and spoil, then hand the essay in late. Could be the explanation behind my GPA. LOL I hope someone can fill in. Costa needs her fix!! Have a great night all.

Clay is my first example of an angry gay man.

Well Clay asked to get moved to a new team. Rebecca and Randall at first were happy. But now that they are working with him, they are seeing how he is not easy to work with and is bringing them to a stalemate. Other team seems to be gelling and having a great time. The task is to find new talent and write a song for XM radio. Team Clay (with Rebecca as PM) has Gee-day (sp?) A young black guy from Nigeria. The guy seems very talented, but Clay is seemingly ruining him.

"I'm going to push him to his limits and make him a superstar." Clay, about Geeday.

Rebecca is very disturbed with Clay. She is not happy at all. (I hope they do lose and he does go.) Other team wants less jazz and more pop--Felisha talks to producers and musicians and they comply...

Thanks, Julieboo, for the spoiling. I should probably lie, and say that there's a room of 20 people here, awaiting your next word, but it just seems to be you and me, in reality

Looks like Clay's "I don't need to respect my teammates" lesson learned last week just came back to bite him. Thought Trump would never get to the point on that one though...when he started in with the history blah blah.

I am so sorry! I was watching my tape of last night's ep of "Lost" and totally forgot about this show. Since no one was spoiling "Survivor" I just spaced out. But can I just say... YAAAHOOOOO! Clay is gone! And good riddance. Bellinis to the spoilers! Thanks y'all! Good luck with the presentation, Eeyore!

Yep, Clay was fired. Trump said none of them should be proud of their performance, but Randal and Rebecca had been solid up to that point. However, since so many people (Rebecca and Alla among them) said they never wanted to work with Clay again..and his ex-team seemed so happy to have him gone, Clay was the one fired.

Clay <KA> should have been gone long ago. All that flap over Randal's mistake. In the Real World, there would have been more time and plenty of people to vet the poster. Even the radio guy said his mistake wasn't that big a deal. They just made a big deal out of it to make us think maybe Randal would be fired. As if any of us believed that.

Well, Clay was a <ka> during tonights episode. I understood completely when Rebecca rejected Clay's first attempt at the song. As she said, it just wasnt something that a man like Jid`e would say. Clay absolutely baulked at changing the words. I really think that the man sees everything as a personal criticsm and insult. Unfortunately, it wasnt the song that lost this task. When Jid`e first came out and sang I immediately thought of Seal....but this man's voice wasnt as clear. As he was singing Clay's song I couldnt really understand the words. The beat/ background music was not suited for Jid`e's voice either, in my opinion. The other team chose the perfect 'voice' for their pop song. Jid`e's voice is more 'easy listening World' type music. Rebecca made the wrong choice of musicians in my opinion. Then randall screwed up the Station numbers during presentation. however, Clay needed to be fired just for that childish stunt of calling Jid`e into the Office PRIOR to Rebecca concluding her intro. Clay just stood there smirking as Rebecca quickly regrouped and shortened the intro. Glad clay is GONE!!! Woo Hoo!!

It was foolish for Rebecca or Randall (forgot who said it) to claim they were out to push the boundries of the station by offering a song that was not safely within their format. It made no sense and was not true. They wanted to get it right and win. Rebecca impressed Trump with her honesty, again. I didn't expect her to say anything negative about Randall. It was a good move to show Trump that she was not going down the same old road everyone else travels. That being, blindly sticking by her ally, no matter what. False loyality is as bad as none at all. Though Trump was harsh on Randall and Rebecca I still think he has his eye on them as contenders. He seemed a little more perturbed with Randall. Alla has got to be high on his list, as well. He definately does not want one as inexperienced as Adam and Felisha only succeeded because the singer was better. This was not a task to showcase strong leadership. The promo showed a caller saying some song was terrible and they did not air that clip. Randall or someone(?) made a negative comment about Rebecca's broken foot. They are not using any footage showing her limitations but there must be some. I think Rebecca is going to win this.

Ms Bat...it was Clay who made the boundaries comment. At first I thought Trump was a bit harsh with Randall, but then I realized that Trump might be putting Randall under some pressure to see how he responds. Its not easy to test someone's mettle when everything is going smoothly...and up until now Randall hasn't really had a hair outta place...he's been quiet, focused, on track, etc. I think Trump wants to see how Randall performs under a bit of pressure to recover from an error in judgment. Will he sit around and whine about his teammates and the world being against him, ala Clay....or will be strive to improve his standing with Trump by giving 250%? I'm going with the percent....

Kep, I just rewatched the BR scene. It was Randall who said it.

Fruit, I agree that both Rebecca and Randal are contenders (in Trump's mind). He was quite clear in that he thought they were winners, at least until Clay joined their team. Trump really did have no choice but to fire Clay. He really didn't ever contribute to any wins (not that I remember) and instead contributed to a lot of dissension and ill feeling within all the teams. Definitely good riddance. It was also interesting to see how Felisha, Alla, and Adam got along during this task. Without Clay, they really did seem to enjoy what they were doing, and really agreed with each other. And Felisha? Finally, she's impressed me. She really did have a handle on this task. Up to now, I'd have said she's not a contender. I'm now curious to see who F4 will be. Unless Alla, Randal, and Rebecca do something really REALLY stoopid, I think they'll be in F4. But I can't decide if it'll be Felisha (who's really been under the radar) or Adam (who I think is too young for Trump). I really think Felisha might be a better fit. However, I am really hoping that we don't end up with 2 women and 2 men in F4. That just kinda almost smacks of something not quite right, since I really do doubt Trump would hire Adam.

Oh Sorry Ms. Bat... I thought you were talking about the comment Clay made in one of his camera confessionals... He did make an arrogant statement about somehow "changing" the singer... I remember thinking what an idiot thing to say...

I love Rebecca. She is a breath of fresh air on show like this. She is honest and a straight shooter. I would guess Randall is the same way, but it just has not stuck out as it did with her. If only I was not blissfuly married for 15 years with 2 dogs. I am sure she would come banging down my door. LOL. Dalm.

It is really fun to see some serious contenders this season. I am glad that Trump will have a difficult choice. I see several that would make good employees for him, depending upon what task he wants them to accomplish for his organization. I almost think Randall is 'too good' for Trump's organization. That man has so many fine qualities, maturity, good education, etc. I think he is highly employable and if Trump doesn't get him someone else will recognize that and snap him up. The others are all good possibilities. Yes, even young Adam, can get in the ground floor and learn lots. He can be groomed the way DT would like him to be. I'm glad Clay is gone. He was too self-focused for me. All about 'him' and not enough about 'team'. His niche was not with the Trump organization.
