I'd enjoy Joan without Melissa, because I'd love to see how good Joan is in business without holding herself back to showcase her daughter. I think Claudia didn't behave in the most mature way, but given how Joan has spent a lifetime making fun of people for laughs it was almost like watching karma in action to see her daughter being the butt of the jokes. Melissa also acknowledged that she was naturally sarcastic, for which she apologized. We weren't shown this sarcasm, so it's left to our imaginations what she did. I read Claudia's bio and was impressed to see that briefcase holder is not all she's done in her life. That's just what she's currently best known for.

I'm going to keep watching to see why they keep showing us previews of Joan blowing up at someone and calling someone else a dumb blonde. I thought this was going to be part of this week's episode, but I guess it was just a misleading promo. I just really wish they'd cut this down to one hour.

Ditto on the one hour thing, Curlyq. I watched it online this week and couldn't believe how long it took to watch it. I finally concluded it must have been a two hour show, which it was.

I too would like to see Joan operate without her daughter but as we can see, Joan is called away often and I doubt if Melissa would leave the set if she got booted so Joan would still not be alone.

I'm hoping Trump mixes things up and puts Joan or Melissa on the men's team.

Did anyone ever see Melissa when she was on "I'm a celebrity, get me out of here"? I really liked her on that. It showed a different side of her. She talked of wanting to have her own identity separate from her mom. I got the impression that her mom was the one who wanted the duo things and because of her dad's suicide, Melissa felt she needed to 'take care' of her mom.

Regarding the two hour thing, Ugh! Way too long. I missed the show on Sunday so watched it online. It was still 80+ minutes! Took me all day to watch as I'd watch a little, pause it, watch a little...

I too hope Joan and Melissa get put into opposing teams soon. It will be interesting to see if Joan tries to sabotage her team for Melissa's sake.

Texannie, Joan and Melissa were estranged for a year after the husband/father's suicide. Melissa blamed her mother.

Laura, I agree with everything you said about Joan and Melissa. I thought it was terribly unprofessional of Claudia to make fun of Melissa's appearance, when she knew she was being filmed. Joan makes fun of people in her act, but I haven't seen her criticizing people in that way. Claudia was not performing on stage. It was personal.

And if Spelll's allowed to see phones here, can I advertise my Avon? Derma-Full anyone???

That is a bit different than if she were making fun of something like a big nose or fat thighs... To make fun of someone's botox, to me, is not as nasty.

I think that insulting anyone's appearance in any way is nasty.

What happened to the rule if you can't say something nice? I've tried to teach my kids that.

Hey I still think it IS nasty. I never really liked Claudia and seeing her in the boardroom really made me like her less. Not a very classy person. Glad she's gone!

Rewatched it and Claudia was horrible how she was imitating Melissa. She also said that she was working with babies and another b word. She said they were like a team w/out a quarterback when they thought they didn't have Joan. Isn't the PM (liek Claudia herself) supposed to be that QB?

There was more, but suffice it to say; GOOD RIDDANCE CLAUDIA!!

(And what was with that cleavage of hers when she went to talk to the ACN executives??)

Found this BLOG POST by Melissa. If you don't like personal insults, avoid the comments section because those people can get pretty vicious both ways.

I will say this. I don't see much difference between making fun of people in a van with a camera and making fun of people on a stage with a camera (especially if the people you're making fun of are only guilty of existing). I still remember the time Joan took one look at Sela Ward's gown and said to her face that she must be the new spokesperson for KMart. I think that was her last year working for E.

I'm sure all those celebrities have their catty moments. We're just not shown all of them. Goodness knows what Melissa must've said that warranted an apology. Melissa said in her blog post that she was hoping Dennis would beat up Clint. That's not very nice, is it? And yet she calls Claudia the bully.

What Claudia was guilty of was being the PM for a failed presentation. Melissa lives to see another day, but it won't be long before someone else has a problem with her.

If it's true that Melissa would rather have her own identity and not be known for her famous mother, she could start by using her own name instead of her mother's stage name. To me that says it all.

I didn't realize Annie Duke had been blogging about these episodes as well. Very interesting insights and behind the scenes info. http://www.annieduke.com/category/blog/

I respect her more now that I've read her blog than I did just watching her on the show.
