Duly noted, sir!

Yes, it's amazing isn't it? And this totally smacks of racism AND thinking below the belt. The Donald has a "thing" for Rebecca. It's been apparent from the beginning.

You take every other year the Apprentice was on and ... IN EVERY SINGLE INSTANCE WHEN A CANDIDATE ALLOWED PERSONAL LIKES AND DISLIKES TO CLOUD WHO WAS BROUGHT INTO THE BOARDROOM, THEY WERE SUMMARILY FIRED ON THE SPOT!!!! And it wasn't even that the audience had to guess as to why they were fired, The Donald made perfectly clear over and over again that PERSONAL FEELINGS HAVE NO PLACE IN THE BOARDROOM!!! But when Becky does this, she has INTEGRITY and LOYALTY!!! Why? Why were these attributes attached to Rebecca when she has no loyalty except apparently to corporations with money and hence raised no money for her charity? And she displayed NO loyalty to Randal when she skewered him in the boardroom with an unfair remark about him losing his luster. She should have taken the responsibility for the mistake since she was PM. It was her job to proofread and make sure everything was correct. And as for Toral, it was strategy. Number one, she got to say how much she admired Donald's old school and number two, who wants to bet that Toral is well-connected and will be helping Becky out after the show? And why ask Toral her opinion? Toral already LIED about the reason for not wearing a cartoon character suit saying it was against her religion! I've been looking for the scripture that says:

THOU SHALT NOT WEAR A CARTOON CHARACTER SUIT ON TV

but can't seem to find one. Could it be that there isn't one? Oh, no! That would make her a .... LIAR!!!! Any wonder she's friends with Becky?

And as far as turning up the lights go, let me see, Mark Burnett and his TV crew didn't have time to turn up the lights? And yet, they have time to switch the camera angle so that there's a shot over Randal's shoulder? Huh? Camera angles don't switch on their own. Someone has to make a decision to do so. If this someone made that decision, they could have made the decision to bring up the lights.

I held my breath when Randal was put on the spot. He's such a gentleman and I couldn't believe he actually helped Rebecca win and did not answer her back in the boardroom. When he came through like a champion I was so very happy.

Also as far as this broken ankle thing, what does he mean other candidates would have gone home? Like who? Heidi's mother was diagnosed with cancer for Chr!!!!'s sake! Actually wasn't Beth on the Real World like Rebecca? She milked her sprained ankle for the entire season to get out of competing in challenges even though she was walking around in heels on occasion. And in the beginning, Rebecca 'SPRAINED' her ankle, and then all of a sudden it was broken. Which was it?
