I thought that I would get this started early to let people know that there are two shows tonight. One at 9:00 and a second one at 10:00.

Looks like the task will be some type of construction as they all have hardhats on.

Lenny's group:
wants to do music
When meeting with the execs Charmaine seems to put Lenny on the spot. Lenny doesn't look so smart though. He thinks Ace is a small store.

Meeting not going well at all. Lenny is dying.

I am sooo sorry, my dh had to use the computer for work...

In a nutshell:

First show,
Michael's group got very irritated cuz he could not make a decision at all. But their group won anyways. They used the ideas that the Ace/Boys&Girls Club liked. They had several areas in their room.
Lenny was not all that great of a leader (though I like him a ton) and their room was painted kind of dull. A lot of time and effort went into the floor. They only had one concept-music.

Michael's group had multiple areas: TV, music, girls area, board games, video games, etc. They had bright fun colors and listened to what the executives wanted. They had ACe signs up. You could tell they would win from a mile away.

Lenny was fired. Lee really tried to stick up for him. DT liked that. I like Lee a lot too.

Second Show:
They started off with Michael's team (headed by the meanie Andrea) ripping into him. Not necessary if ya ask me--as they won!

Anyways, Michael volunteered to go to other team to even it out.

Task was to sell P'eatzzas at 7-11.

Leslie was PM. She was not very good. Lee really was good. Long story short, Leslie got booted.

After these 2 shows, I really love Lee a lot and I really dislike Charmaine a lot as well as Andrea.

Different POV -- Leslie was quite capable as PM. She messed one MAJOR item up: the pricing of the sandwich. They had IMHO a better promotional product (cooler as opposed to the baseball cap of the other team), she did her research on pricing, and honestly, Lee's price was only $1 different -- not enough to make up for the $4 price difference w/the other team.

Lee did have some good ideas (clearing all the other sandwiches out of the shelving area) and tried to make the "BIG" deal (selling 1000 sandwiches), but that fell through. What stood out to me, though, was his complete lack of cooperation. The ENTIRE team agreed on the price, not just Leslie. Lee point blank told Charmaine that he will always stick up for his friends and NOT be objective -- no matter what mistakes they make. While I admire his principle, at some point in business, the facts and being objective matter over incompetence.

While Lee was trying to make the big splash, the only thing he truly accomplished was NOT helping the team for almost an hour. Leslie had jobs assigned, did the research, helped the team decide on a great promotional product and had the trust of her entire team, except Lee.

Lee, again IMHO, fancies himself a "mini Trump" (as he keeps spouting facts from Mr. Trump's book back at the boardroom), but he's not the whole package.

Just watched the first hour - Not a surprise that Lenny is gone. He didn't fit in but I wish him well. Lee has completely won my respect ten times over. Charmaine? Hope she's gone soon but I doubt it will happen as I think her type of ego fits in very nicely with Mr. Trump's company.

The most unpleasant part of that last boardroom was the way Lee just went on and on and on and on and on and on. If Leslie had been able to get in more comments without interruption she might've been better able to give Trump a clear picture of Lee's strategies.

I thought it was hilarious when Charmaine made a point of telling Trump that Lee should go, even if he didn't listen. I wondered if she was getting revenge for him trying to sell her out for Lenny. I can't believe she was so upset that Lenny wouldn't say goodbye to her. She's got to learn not to expect everyone to be all sunshine and lollipops. Trump will see that as weakness.

So twice we saw Synergy win in spite of their PM. Now the superior redhead has two wins on her record. Yikes. At this rate she probably will make it to the final round. I can't see anyone on Gold Rush making it that far.

I don't care for Lee. He knew Trump valued loyality. Had a previous season showed Donald to criticize this trait he would not have taken that route. It was a totally self serving gesture. No way will he win this.

The only stand out to me is Sean. Maybe it is the begining of a long slow death for reality TV but I don't find anyone compelling on any of the shows, this season. Is it the contestants or are we feeling bored to some degree?

I'm amazed he doesn't just fire the entire Gold Rush team. Lee really blew it in the boardroom. If he had just let Leslie talk, I think she would have hung herself without any help from him. Tarek is like a non-entity at this point. And Charmaine? Her strategy from what I've seen is to target the person she feels is next to go and through using words, downgrade them to everyone from her fellow teammates to the Donald. Lenny was right about her having 10,000 faces. You can't insult people and stab them in the back week after week and then wonder "why won't you say good-bye to me'"? Eee gads I hate people like that. But I also think it's one reason she'll fit into the Trump organization easily. She's a very pretty snake.

I agree with Fruitbat about the slow death of reality tv or at least for me my interest is really waning. It's not just the people they're picking for the shows so much as the outcomes seem so pre-decided.

I am doing a happy dance that Lenny is gone. I intensely disliked him from day one, and now I don't ever have to see him or hear him again. Yippee!!!!!

I love Lenny! So sorry to see him go. Now I will root for his buddy Lee.

I look forward to Andrea and Charmaine leaving. Oh Allie too. She was so mean to Brent.

I am not sure if I like Tarek or not. I think I do. At least more than I used to,

I like Sean. I like Michael even though I don't see "it" in him. I also like Roxanne a lot.

Lenny was the only one who was interesting. I think he saw through all the BS and didn't care if he got fired.

Loved his retort to Bill when he brought up the presenting thing but said it didn't cause them to lose and Lenny asked then, why did he bring it up?

Can't say I'm all that interested in any of them, either. Only the board room is fun, to see what wacko things DT says.

I liked Lenny too. Out of all of them he seemed concerned with getting the job done. He was very funny. He wasn't a very good PM though.

I was pretty frustrated with Lee getting two bi weeks but he has won me back over. He stood by Lenny and he had great ideas for the 7-11 project. I hope he does well. He seems like a person with initiative, originality and ideas.

Sorry Ginger but you probably will get to see Lenny when he tries to help someone lose, at the end.

So not a team player and obnoxious to boot.
