Lou had to go; he's a nice guy but he makes me wonder if he did a bit of boxing back in his early years and got hit a few times too many - IYKWIM.

There was no need for Lisa to go all ballistic on him tho.
Explaining that he didn't do anything; couldn't do the banners/posters; couldn't send an email. That was pretty much enough. Lisa is an explosive person.
Can you imagine how these people must feel watching themselves now (Lisa & Arsenio especially)? & how those on the receiving end of the nastiness (especially the confessional rants) are feeling?

Dayana handled herself very well. To work that well with Lisa after all she had been put thru says she is a mature level headed woman.

I laughed when Ivanka told Aubrey exactly what it is that the others take exception to about her! Way to put it out straight Ivanka!

In this ep, we saw that Paul Sr doesn't do much; and the editing emphasized that.

2 reasons paul is still there.

1. his team has won almost every task.

2. the times his team lost, there were much bigger, more annoying fish to fry.

if he doesn't screw something major up, he'll probably make it final 4 and then be fired.

He does have that feel of The Guy Who Always Gets Tossed During Interviews.

I'm surprised by how quiet he's been, especially in the realm of letting other people take command. Looks like he's only a know-all hothead in his own field (and possibly with his own family). It's definitely a different side of him than the camera usually presents -- but at the same time, he's not vicious and hateful enough to take the top prize, and 'vicious & hateful' have been Donald's default criteria in any year without a medical emergency.

I have to disagree with what you are saying about lisa. Only for this reason: Women cry. We can all be tough as nails and the bitchiest woman you've ever met. But we have hormones. Sometimes our anger comes out with tears. Other than that, she is coming across as very nasty. I'm starting to like clay aiken. WIll wonders never cease?

I never liked that they can just leave to go do other things, like Penn did. I understand they all have jobs outside of this, but either commit to being there or don't be part of it.

I think Penn needed sanity breaks. I sure would.

Thanks, Ag-Dude!
