Color, Yes that was Carolyn. Can I just say how much I dislike Piers? With him there on "watch" I see bad times ahead for Jesse, who right now is my favorite.

Piers isn't on "watch".. Trump told him what to exploit and look for I thought Clint was out of line to be hogging the phone from Herschel.. he really does seem to have a grating sort of personality and not just in relation to Joan (but of course it could all be scripted..) Now, I DO like George, but since he hasn't been around this season, I was surprised when he jumped on Melissa so hard (but of course it might have been scripted) as opposed to some others. Why not question Brande about her behavior when How funny.. I thought I imagined something.. seeing Carolyn.. was she in one of the real life lock commercials? I miss her. I also thought it was sort of bogus when Jesse was so sick and she was just randomly chit chatting and flirting and throwing around innuendo, rather than maybe calling in or checking on deadlines or anything to do with the task at hand? Melissa got trashed by George for daring to do SOMETHING while they were sitting around. Costa and Biloxi.. FWIW, unless you are really bored, it is a frustrating, messy, waste of time.. And Annie.. I don't expect sugar coating (though she was using liberal doses of saccharine-sweet with Brande on the second task) but I just don't like mean people like her. Well I really don't like HER, period. (and I don't think that is scripted, lol) I sort of liked that Jesse was thinking, why should he bring in money for Annie's charity? Play Annie's game and manipulate things for your own leading role. That said, I really would love to see Annie's team go down in flames, though I fear that Melissa will be scapegoated by Brande and Annie for the firing and in this task they really aren't letting her do what she could do. And if not Melissa, I worry that Jesse will be the one to go. But no matter, I'd love to see Annie not win this one. I'm sure Trump loves her.. but that endorsement does nothing for me.. just like when he praised Oprah for buying up all the oceanfront property in Hawai'i because there wasn't much left and because she COULD. Piggish, IMO. Wow.. Monday morning RANT..

I absolutely love Natalie's idea to try to find people who dislike Annie from the poker world. I bet there are quite a few.

"I absolutely love Natalie's idea to try to find people who dislike Annie from the poker world. I bet there are quite a few." I'd guess there are also quite a few people outside of the poker world who dislike Annie. I find her thoroughly phoney and unlikeable.

I suspect that Jesse will hold his own in the boardroom, if their team loses. All he has to say is that Annie said she would take them into the board room according to whomever had the lowest money. Not ever seeing Jesse's show, I am convinced by Jesse's actions on the show that Sandra Bullock is a very lucky woman. I also hope that Phil H. shows up for the other side and outbids Annie's poker players. That could make for a fun show.

Yea Natalie ! What a good idea to bring in those who are not fond of Miss Annie.This is turning out to be much more interesting then I ever would have expected. Jesse is a good guy as well as Hershel.

I will be stunned if Phil H. donates money to Natalie's team. Phil and Annie are very good friends and they both play for UB. The poker community is a very tight-knit community and I just don't see him backstabbing Annie.

I don't think anyone is 'ganging up' on Melissa and I agree that both she and her Mother were very whiny last night, with a lot of trash talking going on. Joan really gave it to Annie, so I think this was Annie's way of getting even with Joan for calling her out. Perhaps Joan might have wanted to control her temper a bit more with her daughter on the team of the gal she is ripping to shreds. I never noticed Joan and Melissa being so negative before and I, too, saw a lot of jealousy on Melissa's part when it came to Brande's looks. Lexie girl, I have to agree with you about there being very little chance of Phil H. donating to the other team. You are so right that the poker community is very tight and will support each other very much.

Phil H is a notorious turd, for lack of a G rated word. I would not doubt he could or would do something to insult Annie.

I agree Joan and Melissa were a little on the whinny side but I think Melissa's and Joan's anger is due to the total hypocrisy of Annie and her statements regarding Brande. For Annie to go on in great detail to Joan over dinner about how much she hates Brande then act like her best friend is more then Joan and Melissa can take. I can see that Joan and Melissa don't suffer fools and hypocrites lightly. They seem to come from the school of "I say what I mean, and mean what I say", so anyone who is terribly two faced really gets on their nerves.

Joan is such a bad actress. Throwing the glass looked so phoney, and Melissa is such a big baby. Joan acts like Melissa is a two-year old who needs Mummy to come to her aid. Looks like Melissa never cut the apron strings.

We don't know what their dinner conversation actually consisted of. Joan seems to be a bit iffy with her mental health where it concerns anything to do with her daughter. We all have a bit of mommy bear in us, but Joan's bear is on steroids.

It always shocks me when I see someone that doesn't like Peirs Morgan. That man is so wonderfully fair when he is put in the position of judging. I know, others may not agree, but I think Piers is wonderful. I hate to admit it, but I think he is a sexy, too.

Jesse & Annie for F2!! I like Annie. Thought Joan was off her rocker. What a bizarre boardroom. Her rant on Clint the other time and now this....boy oh boy..scripted to cause drama or as Lilfair says, a momma bear on steroids. I don't see Annie as mean, shes very matter of fact and doesn't hold back, probably speaks before she thinks sometimes but I don't see it as mean. Joan on the other hand.... wow

For me Piers is just a sad reminder that the celebrity edition of Apprentice is not about who has the best business mind but who has the richest friends. Annie is the new Piers. One thing can be said about this episode. Everybody was treated equally by the editing. They all came off poorly at one point or another. Clint and Hershel acted like children over the phone. Brandi acted like the bimbo Trump always thought she was. Joan threw a fit about how everyone was after her daughter, even though everyone had targeted Brian. Melissa once again claimed to be the expert on a task and griped when a job is given to someone else. Annie was her usual high maintenance self. Natalie was so wishy-washy as a PM. Brian just lost interest completely. I guess Jesse came off alright due to his illness, but even he was off his game creativity-wise. I just read Annie's two blog posts about this. I gotta say, some of it sounds a bit like malarkey. Claiming Joan owes her mother an apology is stupid as the insult was not against her mother, but about how Annie would treat her mother. She owes Annie an apology, not her mother. She credits Natalie with the Lifelock win because of how she used their celebrities, but doesn't acknowledge that this was at Joan's urging. Natalie was content to leave it as a safe. It was Joan's idea to use the celebrities and humorous blurbs, which is why they won. Annie gets that part wrong by claiming Joan just wanted to use a bodyguard and was bitter when Natalie didn't use her idea. In any event, Annie seems to be writing her blog to flatter her current friends Natalie and Brande. It looks like Joan will probably quit the moment her daughter gets fired. I don't think Melissa would do the same for her mother. Just a feeling I have. I don't know if any of that was scripted. They're not exactly portraying themselves in the most flattering light. The reappearance of Piers just underlines how out of touch Trump is with what the audience wants to see (except maybe for Naja )

Ahh.. "high maintenance" Annie.. yes, great description. She would just wear me down.. well actually I wouldn't be around her, too much noise.. Annie's blog, didn't read this one but they seem to create a whole scenario in her own mind, self serving and also skewed against whoever she's on the outs with.. usually Melissa. I have no idea what Annie might have said to Joan, but I did hear what she said on camera about Brande and how she did an about turn later. And I did hear what Annie and others said regarding the firing of Khloe, and how they were all struck dumb, except Joan, when Trump asked what they thought. Annie wants to be seen as direct, straight shooter, tell it like it is, but that isn't what she is, to me. I loved Ivanka calling her out, though it didn't really seem to register with Trump. Of all of Trumps minions, Ivanka stands head and shoulders above, IMO.

I don't fault anyone of them for not saying anything about Khloe's firing. They are all trying to stay in the game, why deliberately piss off Trump. And really, maybe that was creative editing and some others did talk..who knows. Annie did call out Brande in the boardroom, she just didn't bring it down to a 5th grade level like Joan obviously expected. Annies blog is a fun read. And I'm sure Melissa or Joans blog would be just as self-serving..

Annie said something like -Brande needs supervison she's not a self starter. Unless you tell her what to do she does nothing on her own.-somethong to that effect.

I honestly can't imagine why any celebrity would agree to be on this show in the future, after watching this season. It seems every one of them is being portrayed as badly as possible, and except for perhaps Jesse, they all look bad.
