fascinating! T&A is a good addition to any reality show. Come to think about it, reality shows are just an excuse for T&A. hmmm. I have become convinced that the timing of the phone calls is chorographed. This episode they probably waited for Whitney to be close to the phone so NPT could call. In E2 I believe that they wanted Tonia to answer the phone so that she would go to the brownstone (rather than the boat this week). The guys presentation seemed to produce a much more favorable response from the kids, I am finding it hard to believe that they only won by one vote, and I am finding it hard to believe that there were 39 kids in that class, I think some kids voted twice. Tonia didn't do anything during the class presentation. I think the red head was nominated for the board room because Tonia is not regarded as a threat to win by the other women. Some how I am not surprised that Whitney stayed and the red head got the hell out of his office. Although it will be most likely be claimed at the end of the show that the firings were random, I think the producers had too much time invested in the NPT/Whitney relationship to let the choice come down to chance.

Red was fired because she wasn't playing the game right. She refused to strip down to her bikini and jump around.

'Okay, best twenty-one out of forty.' They were going to keep flipping that coin until it came up Elli if it took all night or risk an Ingrid incident: I think she was coming close to putting the first piece in the puzzle. Not yet -- not in this episode -- but one or two more days with NPT, and the suspicions would have come up.

I thought it was a pretty slow episode up until the presentations (which were painful to watch) and the Office sequence (which had moments of near-glory -- imagine Maria wearing a harpy head). If only they'd all come in wearing their costumes and stayed that way for the rest of the week as their consequence... well, maybe not Robert.

I found the challenge with the kids to be very long and boring. I kept looking at the clock wondering how long it was going to go on. Boring...

NPT calling Whitney fascinating a dozen times or so and Whitney eating it up was the best part of the show this week. I think she's onto the show's gag and is just playing along now. She can't be that dumb now...can she ?

I don't think she is 'dumb', but I do think she is gullible. Guys have probably talked to her like that her whole life. She likes it, it is flatering, therefore she believes it. She doesn't question flatery.

I rewatched it a couple of times cause I saw no WAY that the guys didn't win this in a landslide and I noticed that more than a few kids seemed to vote twice - like they didn't want to hurt anyone's feelings or something.

Just imagine for a HALF a second that anybody tried anything anywhere near this pathetic and awful on the Apprentice. Trump would fire them all, kill both teams, implode the building, nuke it and then spread the ashes in three different oceans. Did these guys seriously think that THIS was a professional presentation.

And my gift to you? You can now come away from this with an image of Andy as Captain Drycon.

I thought I noticed a couple of kids voting twice as well. I'm guessing most of the challenges are rigged on this show. The producers just pick who they want in the boardroom. The lemonade sale was another example, who knows who REALLY made the most money - only the producers.

"And my gift to you? You can now come away from this with an image of Andy as Captain Drycon."

Thanks a lot, PRE! I was very content to fantasize about David, the original Captain Drycon, in that superhero suit, but you had to go and ruin it by inserting that little rodent from the Apprentice.
