Julie, if you still have the tape, try going further back to where Nick, Amy, and Katrina are brainstorming around the round table in the hotel room. I though that's where Katrina says something about a car and Amy came up with the car rental idea.

I also have to say how much I laughed when the winner was announced and WASN'T THERE! How anti-climatic!

Julie - Prisoner is correct. When they were sitting around the hotel room brainstorming, Katrina started throwing out ideas - belly dancers, etc. Then she said they could give away a car, and Amy looked as if a lightbulb went off above her head, and said "No, we can give away a free weekend car rental!"

So Katrina thinks she is a sex symbol. RLMAO
She is really climbing up there with Ms. O in the excuse department.

I was favoring Amy and not favoring Katrina until tonight. Amy sure thinks she's hot stuff. I couldn't believe the smarmy faces she was making in the Board room. And she didn't own up to the car rental being her idea! What a schmuck. Get her outta there!

Still lovin' Troy.

Has anyone else noticed that when Amy smiles she bears quite a resemblance to Marla Maples, one of The Donald's exes?

When this show started and the teams were by gender, I thought it was unfair how much the women were using sex appeal to win their tasks. It gave them an edge, IMHO. However, once the teams became coed, the women have been killing each other off by becoming very competitive with each other and backstabbing in the boardroom. So, we have advantages and disadvantages of being a female competitor in this show. In the boardroom, the guys seem much more constructive in their criticism of each other and tend to keep their mouths shut better. As someone else has already mentioned, the females seem to be protecting the male players, and I think this is due to the amount of competition they feel with their female teammates. I think we've seen this same phenomenon occur on other reality shows like Survivor and Big Brother. I would love to see a female player who understands how this all works play one of these reality games.

Wow, an original GAME?? With the services of a carpenter at their disposal? Amy's team didn't have a game at all! What a bust. They didn't even discuss games, as far as we saw, only prizes. No wonder Katrina was talking about belly dancers and stuff--they were supposed to be original, not just stick a car there and hand out pieces of paper.

Oh Jan and Realmom I am so agreeing with you both, why do women do that to each other...? it's everywhere unfortunately and really saddens me when I see it. The other thing I was cringing at were the skirts last night. Carolyn looks so 'professional' in her suits and Amy and Kat's skirts were as short as their jackets... what is WITH THAT!? (ok breathe dahli..)

Dahli, I am so glad to see you say something about those skirts!! I thought maybe it was my age and not being in the work place during the Ally McBeal era, but holy cow, those girls dress inappropriatly for the work place.

Now that we know it needed to be an original game, Amy's team really did mess up!

They have been dressing that way since the first show. All of them wore skirts that were way too short. I remember Tammy sitting down with a client and her legs were spread apart. Omarosa wore a skirt that was barely longer than her jacket and it had a slit. I dont know where these women worked before but they dressed like Melanie Griffith in working girl.

It isn't being a grump. To me it just looks unprofessional and if they came in to see me in any sort of sales capacity, I would think they were probably a little light in the intellectual department. They dress like they don't have a brain in their heads.

That's what keeps blowing me away and making me think that somehow I missed the change, but I honestly can't believe how unprofessional all the gals look.

Their skirts are WAY too short. It's unprofessional, and impractical, too. (Being so short, they have to constantly tug on the hem when they're sitting so as to avoid flashing anyone!)_

In case no one mentioned it:

I just saw Katrina on Access Hollywood. She claims Amy used her sexuality much more than Katrina did. She claims Amy slept with one of the cast members during the show and slept with another one after the filming was over.

quick story that happened to me.

I worked for a company and reported to this guy who had a huge ego and loved to be flattered. Anyway, we were in the process of negotiating long distance contracts and meeting with various vendors. This one vendor, who shall remain nameless met with me and I wasnt impressed with them in terms of their overall proposal. When the sales person came in to meet my boss, I noticed she had unbuttoned two buttons on her blouse and kept leaning into my boss, and he was giggling like a school girl everytime he got a glimpse of cleavage. I swear this is a true story. Anyway, he decides she, I mean her company, should get the contract. This was over my objections and the objections of another manager. Well, our long distance kept crashing so we ended up having to get back-up AT&T lines to cover this company's lines when they failed.

Now, fast forward three years or so and I am now in charge of all communications for this company, the giggling boss having long since been fired for incompetence. I am in the process of putting out my long distance traffic (million dollar contract) to bid with the big vendors, MCI, SPrint, AT&T, etc and leaving out this other company. One of the major vendors was waiting to see me in the reception area and when I walked in to meet their area director and he brings the person who will take care of my account personally. Now the area director is so proud because he has brought the sales person from my previous long distance company and there she is, little miss open-up-the-blouse. She took one look at me, her jaw dropped and she asked whether she would be meeting with my boss and I said, it is me.

The area director realized immediately that there was some sort of issue not sure what. We had a very quick meeting. He called me later and asked what the problem was and all I said was that I would not give his company the contract if he assigned that person to my account. I didn't care for her sales tactics.

As a gambler myself and someone who loves a good casino, it was obvious nobody on Amy's team frequents them. I could have come up with a million great casino gaming ideas. All a gambler really wants is a way to try to win. So how about a game that gives them varying amounts of match play tickets. Then brainstorm and come up with a fun game to give them. The wheel was a good idea but I think I could have come up with something better! Maybe a craps like table with match play tickets equaling the total amounts thrown by 4 dice. The most commonly thrown numbers could get a $5 match play, but if you threw 4 matching dice, such as 2,2,2,2 you would get a $50 match play coupon.

I think it would go over better than the wheel if you throw in the same amount of hype since most real gamblers know its better to go with a sure bet, such as we would give (at least a $5 coupon), then one chance at the big win ($1000)!

Am I the only one who thinks that Amy might have blown any "Nick advantage" she might have had when she told Donald that Bill was her biggest threat?

I don't recall who posted it, but I do agree that Nick is the upcoming evictee. His self-absorption has been growing with each episode and it's extremely unflattering considering he, seemingly, is only impressing himself.
