Karuuna, I agree...and I think that is why Brian bailed on this whole thing...he wanted out, he prob saw what was going on and said, DUNN...

Chew, I agree. I think Brian is quite relieved to be gone.

Person I felt bad for was Natalie trying to clean up the pillow and the mess Joan made with her tantrum. Annie threw insults but on a different level than Melissa would have wanted. Plus why the heck is Annie doing dinner with Joan when Joan said in the begining she could not stand her?

I don't fault Annie for placating Brande during the task, she is the one with the modeling/fashion experience and who is bringing in a big buyer, why would she not get a bit more easy going with her.

I understand Jesse wanting to save his real big guns till the end but could he not even bring in a small one? I am pretty sure within his wife's circle of colleagues he should be able to at the very least pull in $20,000 without even skimming the barrel reserved for his turn. But I guess he is looking at the end game cause that is how Piers won last year big guns at the end.

Speaking of Piers glad to see him back he has always been a pistol, wasn't glad he won last year but did not hate him.

As for Clint I thought it was smart to move out of ear shot of the competition but he could have done it a bit more politely.

I either want Annie or the Rivers duo to hit the road.

Maybe at the next board room they can all take turns standing up and saying....."I have a DUI...NO, I have a DUI...."....and then...we can just get this show over with and put them (and us)out of our misery....Your all fired...game over.

I agree Joan went over the top, and very dramatic ( what did we expect, she's in show business). I also agree she's acting like a mother bear, but I do feel there is a tiny amount of "get Melissa", just a little, and it may be because many there feel she has an unfair advantage having her mother there and some may feel she's only there due to her mother. (All of which may be true). It could be argued, however, that a model who carries a briefcase for a living, a playboy playmate, and a girl who's father was a lawyer or something don't exactly qualify for "celebrity". Of course there are different levels of celebrity. I would think that Melissa, who's worked the red carpet and does a fashion critique show, has earned the right to be there as much as the previously mentioned "celebrities".

As far as Annie, I think she's a snake, but I understand here "snakiness". The object is to win, if you have to be duplicitous, well, she'll do whatever it takes. It doesn't mean I admire the trait to be able to do this, I just see what she's doing.

Joan will probably leave if Melissa get's voted off ( which shows poor sportsmanship), I hope she doesn't, but she is very protective.

JMO

"High maintenance" Annie is PM and has bragged about having unlimited resources, so let her bring in the money for her team.

Brande made phone calls that sounded good at the time, but it wasn't clear if that team really got first pick of the models. They also were looking for clothes off the rack just like the other team, not all the evening gowns that were available. Plus once she became one of the models she didn't seem to care what the others wore.

Melissa has a good defense for herself that she picked out the jewelry and took over the dressing of the other models. Anne consistantly tries to keep Melissa from having anything to do, so Brande getting self absorbed was good for Melissa.

I don't know how long they really have between tasks, so I'm not sure how well Jesse is feeling yet. I agree with him that he shouldn't put all of his donations in Anne's task. But he does need to get enough money to stay in the game.


Joan may have made a mistake having Natalie pick out the jewelry. I don't think it will show on a runway well. On the other hand I did like what Natalie picked out more than what Melissa picked out.

Clint and Hershel were just plain goofy when they were picking models. Joan should have coached them better.

In the end, what the models look like, what they wear, and what jewelry they wear only matters to the losing team. Who will win is who can bring in the most money on this task.

Regarding the other task, I don't know if Joan's glass throwing was scripted or reenacted. Joan did know why Clint was walking away with the phone and even told him to go. Hershal got upset because he wouldn't stop talking long enough to know why Clint was walking away. Clint got the phone out of ear shot of flirty Brande and then let Hershal have the phone. Like I said at the top, JMO. Joan did come up with using thier celebrity for the campaign, but did you notice it was Clint coming up with the funny lines for the bubbles?

Brande was useless on that task. When she knew Jesse was ill she should have called her team so they had the choice of sending someone else over there. I give Jesse props for doing as much as he could. In the end I don't think it mattered who did what for that team. I think Brain wanted out and tanked the task by not managing things so he could get out of dodge. As usual Anne tried to lead while at the same time dismissing anything Melissa had to say. I would like to see a continuous clip of Anne saying how much time they had left. It would be like a fast forward cuckoo clock.

I think a lot of Annie's behavior is just so she can say she tried to warn everyone. I don't think she panics as much as she wants people to believe. She just wants to state things for the record in case it comes up in the boardroom, and her teammates have figured this out.

Clint and Hershel both acted childish. Hershel was all pouty when he was finally given the phone. However, Clint could've just as easily handed Hershel the phone and then ushered him away from Brande. Insisting on holding the phone until they were out of earshot was like telling Hershel "I don't trust you to have the brains to get away from Brande." Basically his attitude was "I won't give you the phone until I'm satisfied with where you're standing." Controlling behavior. Hershel has been working with Clint all along, so he's probably had quite a few moments like this by now.

Chewpito, that's an intriguing idea about Brian's motives for bailing. I wouldn't blame him one bit if it were true. I can't imagine this show will help any of their careers very much.

It's worth mentioning that while Melissa Rivers is higher on the celebrity totem pole than the Kardashian girl, the others who were mentioned do have more credits than just professional briefcase carrier and playboy playmate. Brande is also an actress, appearing on Baywatch as well as having small roles in other shows and movies. Claudia was also a sports reporter, actress, and is currently hosting her own radio show as well as co-hosting another radio show with Jamie Foxx on Sirius.

What it all boils down to is that all these women have been working hard at building successful careers, but Melissa may have had more doors opened for her because of her last name. That's all well and good for Melissa in normal life, but it puts her at a disadvantage when it comes to being respected by her teammates in this contest. Her behavior hasn't helped the situation, particularly her behavior when she doesn't get her way. It emphasizes the spoiled child image, which is the last thing she needs to be doing. These are choices she's making, as there have been other times when she has worked very well with her teammates and gained their respect.

At this point it's unimaginable how let down the audience will be if they ever hear "Jesse, you're fired." It would be like watching Trump kick a puppy while burning the flag.

I ask once again, has anyone checked to see if the cord was ever cut between Joan & Melissa?

Isn't Joan in her 70's? So she is probably a good 62 years too old for her jr high behaviour. And Melissa must be close to kissing 40 and too old to act this way also.

I like Piers also.

From what I can find, Joan will be 76 on June 8 and Melissa was 41 on January 28.

Just have to say....I have never seen contestants on this show looking so demoralized, and disillusioned wrt Trump. It REALLY jumped the shark with that double firing, imo. They almost look like they feel trapped in a nightmare...it is creepy. imo.

And on Larry King Live last night, Trump notes that they have been renewed for two more seasons because of the show's popularity... AND.. he's filing legal documents to copyright the phrase "You're Fired!"

I think they are trapped in a nightmare, Sharinia.

Are we really supposed to believe the promos that Joan and Melissa get into a serious fight?

Pamy, it appears that was actually a new show. Donald Trump was live on Larry King on April 15. It repeats tonight. :-)

He did start talking about trademarking it in 2004. Don't really know why so little progress has been made.

SHOCKED!!! I am shocked. I cannot believe they just aired Annie saying "...and I give a good <bleep> job."

Sad really. And Annie knew she was being taped for national TV. Bet her kids are proud.

Maybe I'm in the minority here, but, I really can't stand Annie. She toots her own horn way too much. I'm sure her entire family is so proud of that comment about the bj. My kids would be horrified if I ever said anything like that, especially on TV.

I thought Piers was really trying to rattle them. Those comments to Jesse about using contacts of his wife's to raise money, were over the top. Jesse looked daggers at Piers.

I started to explain it and he stopped me and said OOOHHHH!!! you mean a BJ! again I gasped and almost swallowed my gum, then he goes I thought it meant talking about sex, ya know like an oral exam! LOLOLOL!!!!! I would pay to see the look on his face the next time a teacher says they are taking an oral exam!

Maybe I'm a bit odd but I thought Annie's BJ comment was priceless and I will have to use that line someday.

All in all this is a great season for me. The River's are acting like perfect reality show nut jobs, Jesse is the sexy guy, Annie is the Hatch personality but better with taxes, I hope. Clint is the love to hate character. Great casting this year.
