As I currently see it, his tactics have one of two motives behind them.

1. He wants to be on the record as disagreeing with everything and presenting alternate options for each move, every thought, each and every word spoken, just in case something goes wrong. That way, he can immediately start on 'We would have won if only they'd listened to me' and potentially keep himself safe for another week.

2. He's a do-nothing, know-nothing, interrupt-everything pretentious jerk.

Pick your favorite.

I kind of pick number 1. With reservations, because I really haven't gotten to know him that well yet, and I'm still trying to figure out his little British mind. He reminds me so much of Simon Cowell. PLUS, he's constatly in the shadow of Gene Simmons, I do feel that anything he tries to project, automatically gets thrown off the table. So, he really hasn't had a chance to bring anything to the table yet.

So, IMHO, that makes him look argumentative. But in fact, he IS trying to cover his butt, add a bit of his own feedback, all the while, he's basically being ignored-by most people.

In last night's edition, he had Tito to side with, because Tito was already up in the air about the guys in the editing room taking things upon themselves. Now, I have to agree with Tito and Piers about that-they were all on the line, and it's not an easy task to put blind faith in people you really don't know all that well. And Stephen Baldwin?? Come on-what has been his greates challenge? Surreal Life, or Cowboy Whatever? I honestly don't know. I know he's done some B-movies, and a few other honorable mentions, but to be a PRODUCER?? And after watching Gene go off on the BOSS'S daughter?? I'd be a little wary, too!

So, to answer your question, which I probably won't, anyway (LOL-I'm still doing the drinking game this morning!) I'm keeping an eye out for Piers. I think he could bring some intellegent leading, if given the chance. Because of his personality, and reputation-the Simon Cowell of whatever-he is being micro-managed, and because of the super power personalities of Gene and Vinnie-not too many others are having much choice in many other things.

Time to let some of the others step up to the plate. Piers wasn't the only one disagreeing last night! Tito had a melt-down, child-like, tantrum! The CW Singer was not a happy boy,either, until they utilized his 'god-like voice-overs', and I'm sure there were others in that category that were edited out.

I personally feel that Piers is being focused on, and we are being led to believe that he is the MALE OMAROSA. I really don't think he is. Time will tell, right??

I think mostly #2 but with enough awareness that since that is who he is he might as well use that in a way that might get him ahead in this game.

I'm waiting to see if he has anything other than "I told you so" to contribute.

A suit of chain mail and absolutely no sales technique might be a start.

Realistically, Piers, most people in any city would have fled at the sight of you.

LOL-you got THAT right! Just don't send that 'knight in shining armor' anywhere near the south-they'll shoot him just for the fun of it!

But, he DID deliver, right under the wire, and caused the men to win, once more. Mostly fate and good timing, but he got the credit, non-the-less. How many of those other celebrities would have thought of calling Sir Richard Branson?? They all looked pretty impressed, I have to say!

Anyway, I have always kind of leaned on his side, because I think he's the underdog that no one has liked, going in, and now that Gene is gone, maybe someone will finally see he has some potential. Only time will tell.....

I wonder if Sir Richard knew this was for the Apprentice. I seem to recall that Donald Trump called him a loser because Rebel Billionaire did not do as well in the ratings as that season of the Apprentice.

If he did, he has more class than I thought.

and I am still giggling at the thought of some Good Ole Boys taking pot shots at Piers....(I was aiming for the bunny, honest!)
