SPOILER if you have not seen last night's show read no further.
********************I don't usually watch The Trump Show but it has been pretty entertaining the few times I tuned in. It could have become a regular thing but after last night? It ain't gonna happen. Aaand here's why:
Evil triumphs-Omarosa avoids the chopping block yet again! UGH. After we were led to believe it could actually happen this time (really! truly! Yes, indeedy, you gullible fool! YUH HUH!) And yet...not to be. She was dismissed from the boardroom-much to Trump's supposed surprise. Why Lil Jon (who the heck is he, anyway?) was there is anyone's guess. Bad move by project manager Claudia. Buh bye to her. Allegedly for NOT bringing Voldarosa up to face Trump and his minions. But was it really her move? Ya gotta wonder. Because the thing is, Claudia had complained about O to son of Trump during the Biosilk commercial/event but backed down when called on it in the boardroom. Huh! She seemed pretty sure at the event that O was on the boot list. So why the sudden change of heart? Straaaange, huh? Riiiight.
I put on my glasses and saw the writing on the wall: Omarosa and Dennis Rodman are teflon coated, and the drama around them is enough so that come what may they will be magically saved week after week. It's not the first time I thought this show must be rigged. I'm just disappointed it's so predictably done.
Thank you Donald, for giving me back my Sunday nights.
Donald's personal Agenda has become increasingly transparent since the 'celebrity' editions began and reached an all-time I Don't Care when he made The Hag into his winner after the majority of the set criteria went to their deaths screaming in denial. To me, this isn't even his most blatant. The Drama Preservation Society has been running for years and always works the same way: cast people who will cause problems and then protect them at all costs to their teammates for the longest time possible. It's a miracle we didn't get Not-A-Star Jones back. (I do wonder how Dennis would have been treated if the season had been filmed after his North Korea visit, given Donald's political tendencies to find the latest Tea Party position and then establish a beachhead eighteen miles to the right. Just business?)
I feel he went into this season with a rough boot order (because he usually can't completely control who wins the task -- but count your sales money before you hand it over, kids) and Points To Make. Bret had to die ASAP because resentment over being forced to take a sentimental winner had been building. All troublemakers must be kept for drama, as per standard procedure. All liberals, Democrats, and free thinkers must die by his hand. Anyone who nods off during his Boardroom lectures is toast. (See Penn's article, linked in the other thread.) And whoever opposes the same things he does wins. In fact, factor out the confessional inducers and you could probably put together a firing line based on visible politics.
Once a minicorp winds up in front of him, he's the final (and only) judge of who goes home and why. He used to make up a courtesy excuse for the firing. He's beyond that now.
Celebrities play to 'work' for him. I'm not sure many qualified real life candidates still want to bother.
