I honestly think he enjoyed working with the girls and was totally committed to them once he started interacting with them. At first, it was a fluke, but he got involved and received respect for his ideas.

I was ticked that the girls in the boardroom would not acknowledge that they used some of his ideas. That was terrible, and I actually felt sorry for Vinnie.

I was also glad that Weasel Baldwin did ally himself in the boardroom with Piers.

That is the way I took it too. Vinny started being a spy for the guys. Then realized he really liked working with the women and started to feel guilty for what he was doing. So he confessed to Marilu. He also realized he hated Piers so much that he wanted to do whatever it took for the guys to lose so just maybe Piers would be fired.

I was upset that Tito got to be exempt for the week. He didn't have to do the challenge and was not at risk of being fired. And he still gets to be around next week.

But would you be this upset if Tito was Jewish?

or in the mafia?

I was just surprised Donald didn't shoot around their schedules. It isn't like they are living in a loft together. They show up for the challenges and then go back to their lives.

I thought it looked like a real interesting episode...too bad I missed the first hour because I was watching Lost.

Vinny deserved to be fired the minute he volunteered to go....even if he recinded it.

I thought what happened was completely obvious.
Vinnie is an actor. I don't think he ever saw it as spying. The guys were acting childish, it was a big game, they sent him over to pretend-- the man's an actor, he likes to act. He jumped at the chance.

When it stopped being acting and became genuine espionage, and he realized what was going on, I think he had a change of heart. He clearly wanted the girls to win and started resenting the position that Pierce had put him in-- he's an actor but evidently a more or less genuine guy, and I think sitting there with a nice woman like Marilu, he decided he had to come clean.
Then the guys threw him under the bus in a really childish, stupid manner, and the girls threw him out.

So there's Vinnie, feeling like the guys screwed him over twice, feeling like his good intentions with the women were rejected and trashed, and he goes back in and sits with the guys. Instead of a welcome and some sympathy, Pierce acts smarmy-- and Vinny gets more and more pissed.
Well it came out, Pierce acted like a jerk AGAIn and if I were Vinny, after being treated to that kind of crap and having a bad day and having my good intentions spat on, I'd react like that too. Pierce owed him an apology, but all he gave him was nastiness. No one recognized what Vinnie went through. The guys really showed some weakness there.
