Celebrity Apprentice Recap: The Bleepisode.

Greetings Gasmii!  This week had a bunch of “it’s about time!” moments, didn’t it? Things took an interesting turn and all I can say is thank you God I never have to talk about 110% again!

So let’s jump right into our 8th week of Trump torture and pull some more teeth, shall we?

Things start back up inside the Unanimous War room, where Arsenio is calming down from his Aubrey rant. As he deescalates, Lisa and Penn return to wait with them to see who has been eliminated.

Lisa queries as to where Aubrey is, then whispers to Teresa to be careful. She warns the men are “little bitches” who can’t handle a female who is smarter than them (she means Aubrey, not Teresa).

Uh-oh. Arsenio is telling Penn about why the win meant so much to him and he’s going over the whole death of his cousin again. This reminds him of how hard he had to fight for the win and struggle against Aubrey’s attempts to seem like the team leader. Which in turn, gets him all riled up again.

Suddenly he’s like one of those drunks who shouts at a park bench full of imaginary foes.

F*&% that whore!

That’s enough to get Lisa’s angry eyes bulging. She tells Arsenio he better be glad she’s not on his team because if anyone called her a bitch or a whore they’d have a lot more problems doing it.

I’m the only one who can call people a whore or a bitch around here!

She was a *%&$ing bitch to me, Lisa!

Now every f*&%ing bitch and whore in America is going to f&*%ing hate you!

We interrupt this regularly scheduled bleep fest to send a shout out to the wardrobe department:

 

Can we get a smoothing bra on set – STAT???

Suddenly Dayana returns from the board room looking AH-MAZE-ING in the following dress:

This be my resilient Venezuelan beauty.

There is a dramatic pause while everyone waits to see who else returns and the shocked silence at Lou emerging from the hall is best described by Penn.

 

Lisa loses it. She tells Lou she doesn’t care how bad he feels, he was not an effective leader and it was f-ed up that Dee got sent home. She tells Dayana she had no ideas and declares them both f*&%ing useless. Lisa mutters to herself that she has two *bleeped out* brain deads on her team. Great. She’s stood up and sat down twice already since arriving, so I guess her workout for the day is done as she stands up one last time and instructs Penn to get a lot of sleep, since he’ll be doing 50% of the team’s work with her.

Everyone is traumatized by the negativity.

Lou does his usual face twitches and then tells us that he will not stand for Lisa calling him a f*&%^ing loser. Actually, she didn’t call him that. She called him f*&%ing useless. I wonder if that is better?

The next day, Arsenio skypes Magic Johnson to tell him about the money he won for the Magic Johnson Foundation. Arsenio tells Magic about his cousin’s death and says if she had had an opportunity to be tested in Cleveland, maybe she’d still be alive today. Magic feels Arsenio’s pain.

This is a man with a deep soul. And a baseball team.
And a few restaurants, not to mention some gyms,
movie theaters and Starbucks franchises.

After announcing he was HIV+ in 1991 and not only remaining AIDS free for the last 21 years, but managing to create an economic empire, the man truly has proven his magic on and off the court. How does he do it?

My theory: a little marijuana a day keeps the immunity suppression away.

It would appear Arsenio and Magic are tight, as Arsenio refers to him as Earvin, rather than the name he is more famous for. Magic appears to be very appreciative. Arsenio tells us the foundation is starting a new program to bring free discreet mobile testing to inner city areas where people might not be able to afford to be tested. He’s happy to be able to contribute.

And Magic is happy to accept.
How can you not love that smile?

I’m all mushy and giggly with both of these boys radiating their gorgeous smiles that can’t help but brighten your day. Plus they’re playing manipulative music to be sure I’m feeling the love right now. It seems to be affecting Arsenio too, because now he’s saying maybe he didn’t handle things that well with Aubrey, but he’s going to put it all behind him and focus on his charity.

The teams assemble and guess who is still in the game.

Aubrey has decided to spin the whole episode and claim she was being bullied and now she’s going to tough it out and fight for her charity, which is about bullying. She’s a genius, but she’s also nuts. She wasn’t bullied – she was called out on the carpet for true actions that disrupted the balance – it is a very different thing! In fact, I think it’s terrible that she now claims she’s being bullied, when she admitted in the last task that she was not being sensitive to Arsenio’s desire to have a different picture be used. If we go back and re-watch that episode (but why would we ever?), I think it was her doing all the pushing around! She’s a diabolical hypocrite!

This week, the teams have to make a commercial for Entertainment.com to illustrate their new on-line memberships and mobile coupons. Blah blah blah, who cares.

Ivanka is looking particularly lively and fetching.

Dorkus Amongus…. meh.

Dayana immediately tells Sparky she will be the Forte project manager without consulting with her team first. I like that she’s grabbing the bull by the horns, since her team never gives her the time of day. I think this is a smart move, since she lost one of her only two advocates when Dee was sent home.

Unanimous does huddle up and it is decided that Teresa will be their project manager. I’ve got a bad feeling about that one. She tells us she wants to win some money for her charity, since she lost the last task by $14.00. Not really. You lost by $35,014, sweetheart. Anyway, she’s worried because she says Arsenio and Aubrey are like a ticking time bomb and could go off at any moment.

For some reason, Sparks is lowering his reward to twenty thousand dollars, but thankfully, Entertainment.com ups the stakes with an additional forty. Why the arbitrary amounts rewarded by the Donster?

Aubrey and Arsenio decide to hash out their differences. Aubrey says she heard what he said about her and the words hurt her feelings and she’s upset that he would think those things of her. I’ll grant her the words were hurtful, but never in what we see of the conversation does she address her inappropriate behavior which brought them to that point. I think perhaps our little genius just can’t see beyond herself, since it’s all about Aubrey, as her show was so aptly named. Anyway, Arsenio acknowledges that he was angry and he never intended to hurt her. For that he apologizes, which she seems to accept. It irritates me that she tells him she grew up watching his show and loving him. Didn’t she tells us before that she never really watched his show?

In the Forte war room, Penn informs the team that he won’t be around after 4 pm because he has to do a show.

Lisa imagines a world where she is left alone with Lou and Dayana.

She tells us she’s mad because Lou and Dayana don’t have a brain cell between them. This is an alarming turn of events, since she previously stated they had 5 brain cells between them.

Who is leaking do you think?

Dayana proposes an idea to touch the heart; a realistic scenario where a couple uses the coupon for each of the phases of their love life. The team decides to get behind the idea. Surprisingly, Lisa seems quiet and acquiescent.

In Unanimous, the team is throwing around ideas and Aubrey is also surprising me.

Her mouth is shut.

Clay starts talking about his grandfather clipping coupons every Sunday and Arsenio suggests they could get Paul to play that part in their commercial. They ask Paul if he would be willing to dowdy himself up for the commercial and he agrees.

He’s not as cranky as he seems.

And the guy on the show is much more lovable than the guy I’ve seen screaming at his kids on his own show.

The Forte team is now riding in a van and hashing out their plot line.

Does anyone know about this?

So here’s a shocking turn of events. Lisa thinks their idea is adorable. Holy kamoly has hell frozen over? What isn’t surprising is that Lou sits resentfully in the van, because despite the fact that he is now 60 years old, he thinks he could have played the young man wooing the young woman (who he wants to be Dayana) in their commercial.

Delusional much?

Lou tells us the team is full of shit and should be using star power. Dayana asks Lou if he will take care of banners for the presentation. Remember that.

At Unanimous, they are in their shooting space and drafting their script. It sounds pretty racy.

At least they are amusing themselves.

Forte is also working on their script. As Lisa tweaks Penn’s dialogue, she acknowledges she’s an expert at what a desperate woman will say to try to get a date. In testimonial, she tells us that Dayana is less annoying as the project manager because the pretty girl will defer to others area of expertise. Lisa continues that when Dayana isn’t in charge she tries to squeeze in ideas like an annoying kid.

 

What Lisa doesn’t admit to is that Dayana came up with their present idea, which she likes.

They are ready to start shooting and Dayana definitely seems to be in charge. Penn comes on to tell us that Lisa and Dayana are listening to each other and speaking respectfully and it’s as close to a miracle that an athiest like him has ever seen.

Lou wants them to do some more shots from different angles, but Dayana says they don’t have time for that. Lou is very concerned. Other than Lou’s worries, things seem to be going very well with the Forte shoot.

It’s so nice to see Lisa in a different light for once.

At Unanimous, they are preparing to start shooting. Teresa tells Paul it”s time to go into hair and makeup. She explains to the makeup artist that they want to make him look all fuddy duddy.

You want to un-do all that coolness???

P.S. Why is this girl behind the camera? I think she’s interesting and beautiful!

Ladies and Gentlemen,

It’s Wilford Brimley!

Hosting the BBC’s Playhouse Theatre

Paul’s having a great time.

Well, she’s been laying low and being quiet, but of course, Aubrey can’t contain herself. As Teresa is directing, she giddily turns to Aubrey just after she says action and laughs about the fact that she’s calling the shots. Aubrey reeks of condescension.

Teresa is so naive and cute. She thinks she’s a director because she said action.

She then goes on to refer to Teresa as a muppet baby. Whew! For a minute I thought our diabolical genius had been silenced for good from the last traumatic board room. Nice to see her coming around.
Forte is wrapping up their shooting. It seems like a cute story, although the male they cast is sort of dumpy looking.

Seriously, this is the best man they could find for the part?

Dayana loves it, though.

As they are prepping for the next shot, Dayana tells Penn and Lisa that she’s very happy with what they are doing. Lisa agrees. Dayana tells them they wrote a good script and Penn expresses his appreciation. Lou sits and stews because he didn’t get to act in the commercial. He says he can play a young man perfectly.

Penn has to go and he comes to tell Lou directly. After a few ear wiggles, Lou comes on to tell us it is wrong of Penn to be leaving and not fighting for his charity. Personally I think Penn is to be admired that he’s killing himself here for his charity and still meeting his performance obligations. I haven’t heard him complain once and this has to be at least the second time he’ll be operating on very few hours of sleep.

DJ comes to visit and the group tells him things are going well. He observes Dayana running the show and he acknowledges she may have done a very smart thing by assigning creative to Penn and Lisa early on. If she wins, it’s all great and if she doesn’t she’s got places she can point fingers.

At Unanimous, they are now shooting Aubrey’s scenes (she’s playing Paul’s daughter in the commercial). Clay tells us that the confrontation between Arsenio and Aubrey may have been exactly what they needed, as Aubrey has meshed into the group this week. Thankfully, he’s smart enough to understand that Aubrey is a loose canyon and she can’t be counted on to remain cooperative.

Arsenio appears to have a minor injury, which I find very distracting.

It’s 2012. Do we still need the Flesh Band aid rant? (RIP George Carlin)

Ivanka comes to check on the team and she must have had a really good meal recently. Because she’s lively and not at all animatronic.

She loves Paul’s look and says it was the highlight of her week.
She also secretly suspects he really is a dweeb at home.

She asks the team how things are going between Aubrey and Arsenio. He tells her that he wishes there could have been another way to get to where they are now, but right now things are perfect. And just as he finishes that statement and Teresa  starts trying to explain the concept, our little bright eyes can’t stand being left out of the conversation.

 

Ivanka, you should pay attention to me, because I’m an only child
and extremely special and really there is no one else who can blow
as much brilliant bull shit up your butt as I can, so just listen as I
continue to say absolutely nothing with conviction and confidence.

The bad news; they all see through you now, sweetheart.

At Forte, things are still rocking. Looks like Lisa is directing some of the scenes now and Dayana is pleased with the results. I can’t believe the word’s I’m hearing, and I’m guessing you won’t either;

“Trust me, no one likes to be annoyed and angry
more than I do, because it’s fun. And, I know
everybody is going to faint when I say this,
but, maybe Dayana is more than just a pretty face.”

And so, with that, Lisa zero’s in on another target to destroy.

But this one is with good reason.

Dayana had asked Lou to do banners to be sure they have branding available during the presentation. He still hasn’t done it and then he tells them he doesn’t really know how to do it and has no idea how to send an e-mail. Lisa has a good point when she asks what else is he good for besides flexing his muscles.

At Unanimous, they are running out of time. Teresa dispatches Clay and Arsenio to go edit the footage they’ve bagged so far. She remains behind to direct the remaining shots with her stellar actors, Aubrey and Paul. Teresa is nervous about the time left and she’s distracted.

Hello? I’m pointing with brilliance here. Think you could pay attention?

Aubrey tells us that this competition is about who is going to be the most efficient business leader. She says no one in their right mind would think that was Lisa or Paul.

Meanwhile, Paul thinks up another multi-million dollar idea.
(How many have you come up with, Aubrey?)

At Forte, the three team members in NYC are in the editing room cutting their commercial together. Lou thinks they should insert the company logo in the right hand corner of the screen, but neither Lisa or Aubrey like the idea. They do humor him by seeing what it would look like on the screen before nixing the idea, so kudos to them for not dissing him entirely. Although Lisa did say, “It was a good idea, Lou. But not really.”

They discover that their piece is exactly sixty seconds long and they celebrate with delight. Dayana turns to Lou and dares him not to love their commercial.

“Of course I love it. I would tell you if I didn’t.”

To which, he immediately comes on in testimonial and tells us, he doesn’t like the commercial. Because they didn’t focus enough on the branding. Personally, I think he’s just pouting that he didn’t get to act.

At the Unanimous editing bay, Clay and Arsenio seem relaxed and are having a great time. They are doing the foley for a zipper that is supposed to sound like pants being unzipped but is really a computer bag. Clay is joking that his nuts got stuck.

The FCC feels the need to bleep (and blur) out the word “nuts” if it refers to testicles. Yet if he had said testicles it would have been acceptable. WTF??? FCC is dumber than a box of rocks.

The rest of the team shows up in editing and that is when Clay and Arsenio realize they are running out of time and they have to step it up. As they continue to cut, Aubrey interrupts and points out that maybe using the word old fashioned is a diss to the coupon books and they would be better off saying old school. Clay gives an incredulous look and says they have no time to do a voice over to modify the concern.

Aubrey reverts to the age she was the last time some one told her no.

There does seem to be some concern on the team that the term old fashioned could be offensive, but they decide to try to slip it past the judges. Teresa tells us if they lose, she will be sure that it is either Clay or Arsenio that goes down, since they were the editors.

It is the morning of the presentations and the entire Unanimous team comes on stage to make their presentation. Teresa does a fine job relating Entertainment.com to being a mother of four and always looking for a way to save money. Her presentation is perfectly acceptable, but afer she finishes, Aubrey decides to speak up, making it look like she is a co-presenter and responsible for the material about to be delivered.

Is this attention grabbing behavior calculated or just a product of only childism?

Their commercial is very suggestive but also cute and funny. Still, the judges winced at the word old fashioned and although they clap politely, it doesn’t seem like they were totally in love with the finished product. Aubrey tells us that Teresa thinks everyone is friends, but she proposes that Clay and Arsenio will “gang bang” their project manager the minute they lose. Ummmm…. never mind – just gonna let that one go.

Team Forte delivers their commercial next and I personally prefer it better. I think it is a cute little ditty that does a better job of illustrating all the things entertainment.com covers in terms of their product line. It doesn’t show off the usage of aps like the other team, but it seems like the judges share my opinion as they are wearing bigger smiles and are clapping at the end of the commercial.

Lou tells us that fireworks will fly in the board room tonight. He says he doesn’t trust Lisa because she has two personalities. He points out she is negative, mean and abrasive. So…. what’s the other personality? Then he says he’s going to make sure they know he doesn’t appreciate being called a bleeping loser. Again, Lou, no one called you a loser. They called you useless. Get it right! Lou seems to have a very self-serving agenda and doesn’t really understand the concept of a team.

It’s about time for Sparky to make an appearance, so he chats with the execs about what they liked best from each commercial. For team Unanimous, they like how they presented as a team and how they presented a bold and gutsy story. They loved Paul and even Aubrey’s performances. The negatives were that they felt the term old fashioned was too negative and that perhaps the storyline was too risque. They also left out vital information such as the cost of the product.

For team Forte, they execs loved the creativity and story line. They were very happy with the parts of the product that were mentioned and they encompassed all the ways you could use the product. In terms of negative for Dayana’s team, they thought it was a snooze fest with boring characters. They used nicer words but I’m getting tired.

Boardroom Time!

Inside the board room, the Forte team quickly reveals that Lou was their weakest player. Lisa admits to Sparky that she was very impressed with Dayana and admits they had a lot of fun and that it went very well. She says Dayana was a great project manager and is excellent at organization. She also says Dayana may not have many ideas, but that seems unfair when they used Dayana’s idea both this week and last week.

Aubrey watches helplessly as Lisa changes her mind about the pretty one.

Lou interrupts to tell Sparky that Lisa is lucky she isn’t a man or he would through her right through a wall. He starts bitching to her about calling him a bleeping loser. The whole thing is bizarre. Lisa tells Lou this should be saved for outside the board room. She also tells him she doesn’t curse in the board room just before swearing at him. Then she warns that if he physically threatens her again there will be a problem, to which he says he doesn’t threaten women.

Team Forte should be called Team Double Talk.

Ivanka and Sparky want to know if she called Lou a loser. She can’t remember, but she says if he says she did, he’s probably right and she apologizes but tells him it is inappropriate to threaten people. But I’m irritated because she didn’t say that. I can’t believe I’m defending her, when she’s usually a bitch I can’t stand, and to be honest I hated her venomous rant after the last boardroom, but she didn’t call him a loser. She called him useless. It’s not the same thing.

This is quickly disintegrating into a Lou and Lisa bickering session. He calls her phony, except I don’t think that’s the case at all. She points out that he’s been kissing her ass for two days and now he’s bringing up all this discontent in the boardroom. Lou claims he says things right to her face as he stares at the table and brings up unaddressed issues in the most inappropriate moment possible.

Thankfully Sparky starts asking the other team if they heard Lisa call Lou a loser. None of them can remember hearing that but it distracts Sparky enough to focus on Aubrey and Arsenio and their feud. Everyone tells him that this week there was peace in the war room and that things were much better. Aubrey is wisely remaining silent. Arsenio tells Trump that he thinks he got the right results with the wrong words. Well said!

When Sparks asks Teresa who she will bring back if her team loses, she tells him that all five would have to come back, because there were no weak links. Sparky tries to scare her by saying the last time that happened two people got fired. WRONG! Tia didn’t bring anyone back with her upon Trump’s word that no one else would get fired. Besides, mathematically, he can’t do any more double eliminations – there are seven episodes left and 8 players.

Teresa can’t name anyone and Ivanka interrupts to ask about the fact that Aubrey took over explaining the concept. Teresa admits she didn’t like that Aubrey was doing it, because as the project manager she wanted to be the one to explain the idea, but she also didn’t think Aubrey meant any disrespect by it. Ivanka does a great service to everyone by explaining to Aubrey that her actions are polarizing and it’s this kind of stuff that alienates her from the team.

What do you think he would have done if his kids were stupid?

There is some lighthearted banter in which Trump tries to imagine how Clay would do hanging out with Paul and his biker buddies and what it would be like for Clay to work in his shop.

Then Trump tells the teams that the execs loved both commercials and it is time to view them. Unanimous is up first.

Paul predicts he’ll never live this down.

Look! He’s blushing!

Trump asks team Forte what they thought of the video and Dayana says she thought it was entertaining and that Paul was great. Lisa says it was very good but not better than their video. Penn says he’s not a fan of double entendres, but for all that, he did in fact like the video.

Trump then rolls out the Forte video and it doesn’t seem as fun as when it was being shot. When it finishes, Trump asks Dayana why none of them starred in it. She tries to tell Trump that none of them fit the casting, but Lou interrupts to say he wanted to be in it but she said no. Lisa points out Lou never said he wanted to be in it.

Ooohhhh we’re treading on dangerous ground here. Teresa tells Trump she could have seen Dayana playing the role of the young woman and Arsenio chimes in to say he could see Penn playing the part of the man. Trump agrees. Penn says he’s too old to play that part and Trump asks “for a young woman?” He jokes Penn is much too old for a young woman and he hates those kind of men…

Trump asks Clay which commercial he likes better, and of course he says he likes his teams commercial better. Then Trump asks Lou which one he likes and Lou also says he likes Forte’s commercial better. His reason is that they used star power. What he means is he’s mad that he didn’t get to star in his team’s video, so he’ll punish them by throwing them under the bus and saying he liked the commercial where team players get to star in the product. Does the man not think before he speaks???

Lisa says it is easy to be a turncoat when you did nothing on the project and your heart isn’t invested. Lou’s face is twitching like crazy at this point. There must be some correlation to his brain function and facial muscles.

Lisa tells Lou that Penn did more in his few hours than Lou did the entire time he was there. When Lou responds with, “so I didn’t do nothing, right? I just sat around, right?” Lisa tells him pretty much and then reviews his task list. She mentions the printing he was supposed to do that he couldn’t and that he helped haul props., but that’s where the list ends.

Someone just figured out where her next meal is coming from.

Poor Lou. I’m not saying he’s dumb, but he’s certainly not sharp enough to talk his way out of the conundrum he’s just walked himself in to. The Trumps are asking him if it is a good idea to say he likes the other team’s commercial better, while also saying it is good to be truthful.

I want you to be honest, but then again, you will pay for it.

The exec’s opinions are now reviewed and big pointers are that Dayana’s video didn’t show how to actually use the ap, while Teresa’s video used the word old fashioned, which wasn’t a nice word.

The Godfather declares Unanimous the winner.

Teresa gets emotional, now that she has managed to win money for the little boy she is fighting for. I can’t help but wonder if this wasn’t once again rigged because Dayana already won money for her charity, while Teresa was empty handed up until this point. The way the show was edited, I was pretty sure all along that Forte would win and Teresa would be sent home. So to hear that Unanimous was crowned the victor has got me eying the whole episode with suspicion once again.

Unanimous exits the board room and are celebrating in their office. Teresa is squaling in this really annoying high pitched voice about how happy she is. Aubrey embraces her and tells her that she knew they would win.

Hypocrite!

In the boardroom, Lou and Lisa are at it again. Lou claims Lisa is just trying to cover her ass and she rips into Lou that she’s the only one who is guaranteed to be safe because she does all the work. Back in Unanimous’ room, Paul and Arsenio agree that they would never want to bleep with Lisa or be on her team, since she keeps losing.

Penn explains the problem the best, which is that although Lou says he is a team player, he also says the team should lose. He tells Trump that if Lou said they should star in the video, he doesn’t remembering hearing it and that he can’t just make a suggestion. If he thinks they should all be in the video, he also has to offer an idea to facilitate that suggestion.

Oh crap. Trump is going back to the casting again and asks Penn if he thinks he could have played the part of the guy in the video. Penn says no, while sexagenarian Lou is shaking his head yes. Lisa chimes in that it would be creepy to have a fifty six year old man with a twenty something girl in this context.

It’s creepy to me that Trump has to do the math to determine if he qualifies as creepy.

There is a quick scramble as they all race to assure Sparky that the sentiment doesn’t apply to him.

I can’t wait to sink my teeth into your ham hocks, Lisa.

Trump asks Dayana who will be getting a free pass and is allowed to leave the board room. She deliberates but ultimately says that Penn wasn’t there for the whole time and contributed so much that he will get the free pass. She then tries to explain how much great work Lisa did too, which has Trump marveling that she could say such nice things about a woman who’s been gunning for her week after week. But Dayana is classy and honest. I love that girl.

Trump asks Lisa if she has had a change of heart and Lisa admits this week was an eye opener and refers to Dayana as incredibly capable. They are all sent out of the boardroom and Penn gets to retreat to the Unanimous holding tank.

In the waiting area, Lou and Lisa are at it again, but Lisa keeps getting the last and most vicious word. Lou isn’t really mentally cut out for this sort of battle. Dayana sits demurely and says nothing.

Once they are back in the boardroom, the discussion quickly morphs from how many times Dayana has been in called back to how useful Lou is. Lisa tells Ivanka that Lou is not vindictive, he’s just only good for brawn, which is not useful. What Lou doesn’t have is ideas.

When Lou tries to pull the hearing impairment card, Lisa calls bullbleep. Lou makes absolutely no sense as he says he gives 110%, he doesn’t fight, he doesn’t get angry, he supports his team and he always tells the truth. He has contradicted every single one of those statements this episode.

Ivanka points out that Lou is complaining that Lisa’s cursing causes a negative attitude but his choosing the other teams video as better is also a negative attitude. Lou is unable to respond.

He would still be stuck like this if Ivanka hadn’t made a follow up statement.

Lou tells us all that it takes him longer to digest things because he has to focus and listen harder. It’s tough for him if more than one person is talking at a time. That is all understandable and justifiable, but as Lisa points out, once he’s digested the information, he needs to vocalize it. She then accuses him of using the hearing as an excuse when he needs to. I kind of agree with her on this one.

Dorkus Amongus interrupts the shouting match between these two to point out that he can’t stand that Lou back stabbed his team but he admires that Lou had the cojones to tell Trump his real opinion. I would agree with DJ if in fact that had been Lou’s real opinion. The thing is, I don’t think it really was. I think the way Lou thought this would all go down is that he would say he liked their video better because they used their star power and it would teach his winning team a lesson to be sure to use him in the next task. This was a pathetic strategy that backfired on him and now he’s forced to stick with an opinion he doesn’t really have.

Trump tells Lou it doesn’t sit well with him that he said he liked the other team’s project better. He says loyalty is very important to him and with that, he fires Lou Ferrigno.

“Take it back. I don’t want to be fired.”

What the hell? Has that ever worked on this show? I would never dare to tell Trump to take back a decision he has made. It’s actually kind of pathetic as Lou repeats several times, “I don’t want to be fired.”

Look Lou, I’ll still dream about you. But there’s no place for you here anymore.

And so, our old friend the Hulk is sent packing.

But not before exacting a little revenge on the elevator doors.

Good bye, Mr. 110%

I can’t stand disloyalty.

He dug his own grave. But don’t worry, I’ll get him out.

We’ve always heard that growing up from you; loyalty is everything.

Except when it comes to wives.

Your hypocrisy is getting unbearable.

Try staying on topic. I won't mind. Really.

I don't think it's Trump that decides who goes home each week. I think he might get a vote among all the other producers before the board room is taped but then it's Trump's job to make it happen the way they want. Maybe it's based on merit and maybe a big chunk is entertainment value but it can't be so off the wall as to lose too many viewers either.
