I wouldn't trust this group to sell Hostess Fruit Pies.

Thank goodness you're here, Argues About Everything Man!

Thank goodness those pretty much sell themselves.

The following link contains all you'd ever want to see for originals, but some of the commentary is beyond PG-13: approach at your own risk.

I have to say, I'm really disappointed in Clint Black. I would have NEVER expected him to have such a harsh personality! He always seemed so sweet, loveable, and those dimples...I mean, wow! Who'dathunk? WHAT A JERK!

And Scott? I know Tom Green is beyond help, but you still gotta give the guy credit for a few brain cells that haven't been burned in the fire...and the whole 'Z' thing, well, that speaks for itself! Sorry to see Scott hit the road, but sadly, he totally deserved it. And if these guys don't get their act together, they will be a merging of Jesse James and Bryan McKnight with the women's team in a few more weeks...that's MY humble opinion, anyway.

Donald likes to keep the teams fairly even, so the next merge we should see is the reluctant crossing over of one woman to Kotu. (That still sounds like an exceptionally dump Survivor tribe. Wonder why...) He'll probably ask for a volunteer rather than just pick one to send across -- but if he asks Athena to vote someone out, Annie may get chickenapulted over the suite.

I was surprised at how rude Clint Black was, repeatedly talking over and interrupting others on his team, and then pointedly telling them "let me finish!" *eye roll*

I like Scott, but it was poor leadership to simply choose to ignore Tom Green altogether. I understood he was doing that in self-defense because he probably felt like he was being peppered constantly by Tom's ideas, but give the guy something to do!

Of course, the big glaring mistake was EEE!

I'd love to see Annie and Clint Black go head to head, each out-interrupting the other.

I'm looking forward to the Claudia (Deal/no deal model?) vs. Melissa Rivers smackdown!

Oh yeah, bring it on! I couldn't believe Melissa blatantly claimed ownership of Claudia's idea.

And good on Khloe. I was actually pleasently surprised by how she handled herself.

Just how hard would it have been to add "Z" in front of "EEE"? I mean really, couldn't her name meen Zappos - Every...blah,blah, blah?

Scott Hamilton is an idiot, just for that alone.

I yelled at Scott but Ron was louder so he didn`t hear me say to put Z after E. EEE-Z.

My hubby and I were discussing the whole Scott/Tom conflict. They have such different personalities and Scott did not really take the time to think about this. He just perceived everything Tom did as either annoying or attempts to undercut him. Then by the time Tom had something valid to contribute (the name and protests against the infamous "Eee") Scott was tuning him out. Scott didn't perceive what Clint was doing as annoying because he clicked more with him (they seem to have more similar personalities). But Clint was just annoying in different ways.

I liked Scott and I wish he had been more assertive in leading the project. He had such good potential. I think his downfall (other than the name) was not reading his team mates and using their strengths for the best and also not giving more direction.

Yes, but Tom was being VERY annoying. I don't think it's 100% his personalitly. I think he's putting on an act for the show. Tom kind of does that sort of thing for a living. Being annoying pays his bills.

I think people are confusing the "characters" on the show with the "actual people" - which we really don't see a lot of.

Posted by Cyndimaus on 03-12-09 at 10:56 AM
Oh, I don't deny that Tom was "acting up" for the cameras. But I do think that he is in the profession he is in partly because of his personality. So I don't think all of it was on purpose, he was just being himself. But as an adult he should be capable of reigning himself in when it is needed. Most people know when it's okay to be goofy and when it's not.

I do recognize that he's sort of out of his element when it comes to the corporate business world but I think he is probably able to chill out and work as a team. Then again... who knows!

It will be interesting to see what he is like when (and if) he is project manager.

OMG! Scott had the WORST. IDEA. EVER!

Ouch! Shame! The men would have won with a better name.

That said, the men would be better off firing at least 3 more team members.


"Two hours too long"
Posted by Ricky on 03-14-09 at 04:59 AM
Am I the only one that thinks there is no need for the two hour episodes? I DVR it and watch it in about an hour and a half, but I can barely make it through it. An hour would be about right.

Totally agree Ricky. We DVR'd it, and when we started I noticed it was 2 hours long. I fell asleep in parts too.
