I haven't seen this show. I keep missing it for some reason! Apparently the last women voted out who is a medical student is from here and I missed her. Darn. I hope I remember to watch it next week!

I like this show. You can never guess what is going to happen since he makes snap decisions at times.

I liked this weeks show better. It's definately not what I expected. It's pretty unique as far as reality shows.

"Rock Stars" attempt to be a rock star nearly did me in. Who in their right mind thinks they can learn to play guitar in a few hours and then for no good reason bust it up.

Obviously, Mark isn't always the best judge of people, imo.

The skydiving stunt was lame imo and didn't deserve to make the cut. Maybe Mark didn't want it to appear that he was slighted...that one of his "people" overcame a phobia of his.

The paten pending guy interested me most; I wanted to hear more...bet I'm the only one, lol. The music they played while he was explaining his paten was too funny along with all the bored faces.

I hoped the second grade kids were going to pick from the last two.

Why doesn't Mark just end this show and give the Guitar Guy the money! God! He has been drolling over that loser since the start!

Mark went way down in my book tonite, he didn't even have the balls to eliminate her, that's why he had the other pick.

By saying, get rid of your strongest competitor he hoped they would get rid of her.

Thank God they kept her or I was done with this show.

I loved the competition last night. I also like how he forces people to vote. Now it will create a little more tension.

Julieboo, I totally agree with you. They now know (actually, they should have already known after last week) that not only do they have to impress Cuban but they also have to watch their backs with each other.

Is anyone as happy as I am that Shawn is gone? It really bothers me that this woman is in a profession that is shaping the minds of our children. My son had a special ed. teacher similar to her and it really affected him as well as the other kids in the class.

Loved the show last night, it's fun and seems to have no rules. I thought for sure the sky diving chick was gone, but that's the fun, you never know what's gonna turn Mark on or not!

Native_Texan, I'm happy Shawn is gone too, her book was exactly as Mark described, all about the game, don't think children would really love it.

I told my husband that Mark really likes Dominic and I think he's going to win. If anyone else had wasted their $1000, he'd have booted them. And he said to go outside their comfort zone. He didn't tell them they had to make him laugh! Or did he? But he liked the fact that Dominic made him laugh.

I agree with all of you..especially about Dominic. I absolutely LOVE this show. I enjoy it much more than the Apprentice. But I hope that Dominic doesn't win it. That will spoil the whole thing for me. It is time for Dom to be gone now!

I agree with most of you that Dominic does not deserve to be there. His act last night was really lame and wasteful besides. I know Mark is intrigued by his entertainment factor but I imagine that in the end Mark will use his head and not award Dominic the money. I really think Mark would like the money to go to someone who shows some business savy and common sense.

Dominic will be crushed to find out he was there to entertain Mark but did not have what it takes to be a good steward of a million dollars.

I'm beginning to really like Famia who seems under the radar to me. And, as much as I personally don't care for Spencer, I think he got Mark's attention with his business sense last night.

Time will tell with these six. Yahoo that Shawn is gone!!!!!

You think Shawn would have at least colored the book. What did she spend $1000 on anyways? Markers? (which she seemed to have only used black and some yellow on the one page with stars on it.) Then to bind it with no real cover-just using a spiral thingy, well that would not cost much at all at a kinkos.

lmao Julieboo... you're so right about Shawn. At first I thought it was a great idea, but even she realized that she blew it with her cheap book and simple story.

Auntiemike, I agree about Famia, I love her! She had a fantastic idea, she's smart, beautiful and lots of other great things I'm sure, she's who I want to win this! But I do agree I probably wouldn't've worn those outfits either, lol...

I watched this show for the first time last night and I don't think I even care to watch it again. It made me sick that the guitar smashing guy and sky diving girl got to go on.

I only thought the patent guy and the fashion designer girl should have gone on.

Julie, I agree with you, that "book" was lame and couldn't have cost more than $10 to make. I hope the guy asked for a refund of the unspent money.

The thing is, the "cliche" rocker is one who smashes his guitar at the end of the night - Dominic did what he thought a "rocker" would do.

Azriel, the patent guy and the fashion designer both get to go on. He was impressed with both of them and they each had good business ideas. (We don't have to like the styles by Famia, just admire her guts to put it all together for a presentation). I thought she was smart to add that they would be available online very soon. Good way to sell/market items. She is so lowkey but has a great competitive spirit, as shown by her wanting to eliminate Linda. I think Linda wants sympathy for her "cause" and that should be enough for her to win the million....NOT.

The rocker cliche was obnoxious in my book. It's bad enough to see it done by famous people who can probably afford to get a new guitar daily but to see someone show such a blantant disregard for the item that is supposed to propel him into stardom....another story. Of course, in my eyes, he may be fun to be around but doesn't seem to have a lot to fall back on but his "good looks".....NOT!

I think Shawn knew she was going, so spent $20 at Kinko's and pocketed $980.

Cuban drives my nuts with his adoration of Dominick. If he wanted to give 1M to a clown, then give 1M to a clown!
Dominick is all about creating an image.
If he REALLY wanted to learn guitar and become a rock star, he wouldn't have destroyed the guitar!
If he wins, he will do the same thing, blow the money in a short time, and end up with nothing.

I don't think Watermelon Girl stepped out of her comfort zone at all with the skydiving. She didn't look scared in the least.

I can't believe dancer girl thought she was the best! Wha-?
