ETA: Whoops, this is my first time starting a thread. The actual episode title is "Lost in Space." If any mods come by, could you fix it? Thanks and sorry. I'll pay closer attention next time.
Done, but I liked yours better. ("Thus Spake Zathura," for the record.)

I was kind’ve bored the whole hour, though Bill looked good. I see Bill, I think of Kwame. I think of Kwame and have to think of Troy. Mmm. Troy.
The main thought I can come up with right now: was Kristi the only Apprentice wanna be in four seasons to not even thank Trump or the Viceroys before she left?
And woo hoo! Carolyn in Charge!

I....I think I’m scarred for life.
Because that? Was the the worst. Reward. Ever.
At least, for me it was the worst reward ever, because if there was anything I didn’t need to see, it was a bunch of white guys thinkin’ they’re layin’ down some wicked ass rhymes with Wyclef Jean.
Oh my gods. And it kept not ending. And I’m afraid that Jacob will have an aneurysm from watching it. Or throw his tv out the window.
And speaking of Awk. Ward. Jen and her complete inability to pronounce the name of a film that is pronounced the way it’s spelled. But Kristi’s a bitch, and I’ve disliked her from the beginning. I loved how offended she looked when Marshawn compared her to Melissa. But Jen was dumb. Should have brought a third person in to bolster her. But...well, I guess she guessed right. But those stupid gaucho pants? Have to go. They’re terrible.

Color me shocked. I thought Jen was gonna get fired, but extremely happy that it was Kristi.
Color me shocked again when they played the men's rap song at the closing credits.
Kristi what a little biatch. Suck it up you sore loser.
Ok that guy on the guy's team is looking better every week...don't know how name yet.the one who was talking with Jen M. towards the end.

Buh bye, Kristi. Your snippy little "shut up" at the end certainly reinforced the fact you are a white-trash minor league player.
No way Jen was going. Trump likes her, My-Little-Pony 'do and all.

Josh: "When Jon Favreau told Brian to shut up during the presentation, he was basically saying what everyone on the team was thinking as we watched Brian speak, 'cause Brian was just talking too much. It was like Markus had injected him with Markus Fluid or something."
Oh, the gallons of brain bleach I needed after that mental image.
Why is Jen always doing the presentations? She's not exactly a great public speaker despite her beauty queen background. Even in her confessional afterwards she couldn't get the name of the movie right.
This? Was the Most Audience-Hostile Reward ever. And it just kept going and going... until my ears ripped themselves off my head and flung themselves into a corner to weep.
But at least the Boardroom was audience-friendly. The Screechy One is gone - bitter and indignant, but gone.

I have to stop watching this show. Trump is a moron for firing Kristi (among other reasons.) If the float was Kristi's idea, then yes, she should be able to be "bossy" about her concept. God, Jen is stupid. Carolyn should have told Trump it's not a popularity contest. Who's prettier? OK, I'll fire the other one then.
msrayrudd
Oct 20, 2005 @ 9:06 pm
Yeah, I only watched bits and pieces of this one because it was kind of boring. I don't know if Kristi deserved to be fired for this task because the loss wasn't her fault, but I don't care because I'm glad she's gone.
I love Randall and I love Marshawn.
Jen M. confuses me. She does some things that I like. I loved her smack down of Kristi when she took her aside. She also does some damn stupid things like not being able to pronounce the name of the movie she's presenting. Like I said, she confuses me.
And Kristi--I really don't see Felicia of Alla winning so good luck with that.
MetropolisGal
Oct 20, 2005 @ 9:06 pm
Jen M. couldn't pronounce ZA-THUR-A once. Sheesh! No surprise when Capital Edge lost yet again.
Kristi? Shut your screechy piehole. Just shut up. Damn!
Excel? That was the lamest rap EVER. You guys are players? PLAYED OUT is more like it.
And the Uniblonders imploded. Couldn't have been more pleased that it happened to a bitchier bunch of bitches.
And Kristi? You're a sore loser, baby. Don't let the taxi door hit you on the way out. AND SHUT THE HELL UP!
Question: Wasn't this episode called "Lost in Space"?
ETA: I saw the preview in the movies over the summer, and when the announcer went "From the Author of Jumanji", someone yelled out "Get a new idea!" Too funny!

Oct 20, 2005 @ 9:05 pm
I really think it was Randal and Marshawn's opinions that sealed the deal. I can't tell you why, but I think Donald relied on them more than Bill and Carolyn this week. Bill and Carolyn were definitely not in agreement with him.
I do think, though, that they've finally cleared out the bad seeds as far as the women are concerned. There's a little more work to be done with the men. But, with Kristi gone, I think the coven has been broken up which is the most important thing. I would like to think Felicia will be much more tolerable with Kristi out of the picture.

Oct 20, 2005 @ 9:05 pm
Glad to see Kristi leave. What did she say to Jen when they were leaving the boardroom? (I missed just enough to not hear her. ARGH!) The guys definitely won this one by a long shot. The ladies' (& Randal) didn't do so well. I really expected he would give them more direction. He was edited in that he didn't offer much to help. I don't think Jen is long for the game. She did defend herself fairly well in the BR though. Next week....Carolyn is in charge. YAY!
Josh can go anytime. He can take Markus with him. I guess we're set up for a quadruple firing next week. Alla really seems like a great worker. She pays attention to the details. I guess we'll soon see if she's a good PM.

What time does poor Rona start work? She was calling them on the golden dildo at least as early as 6:30. Ugh.
Farewell Kristi, you should have dressed like an airline stewardess - Jennifer did, and it bought her another week.
Nice to see Jon Favreau! Love him. And no fat jokes from me...I don't look like I did ten years ago either!
Thoroughly enjoyed the whole episode. And wow, Markus really kicked some whoop-ass on Brian huh? What a pathetic display...dude, give it up.
growsonwalls
Oct 20, 2005 @ 9:05 pm
I have mixed feelings about this episode. On the one hand, I hate Kristi and am glad she's gone. On the other hand, the Donald once again made this a popularity contest. Kristi wasn't the reason they lost the task, AT ALL, and Carolyn's sullen stare after Kristi's firing said it all. Speaking of Carolyn, her face is still beautiful but her hair is fugly. Get thee to a salon, go.
Marcus is still ridiculous, Randall is still hot, and Jennifer's presentation had me rolling on the floor in laughter. Loved Bill and Carolyn's giggling over "Zenthura."
Kristi's immature behavior after the firing, however, diluted any sympathy I might have had for her, not that I ever had any sympathy for her to begin with.
I'm also permanently scarred by the men's "rapping."
And Zathura? Looks like one shitty movie.
TiffanyNichelle
Oct 20, 2005 @ 9:05 pm
Eee, Bill. You make me squeal like a teeny.
"Zenthura"? WTF? Isn't public speaking one of the things a beauty queen supposed to be good at?
I did love that Jen M took Kristi aside and called her out on her behavior. And I loved Kristi was fired even though I was sure it was going to be Jen M. And I wouldn't have been bothered by that because Jen M kinda sucked as a PM.
I loved how offended she looked when Marshawn compared her to Melissa[/quote]
That? Was awesome. Marshawn rocks.
ladolce
Oct 20, 2005 @ 9:05 pm
Jen M. was talking to James at the end, and I agree - very cute. I wonder if they're moving toward a Jen/James hookup. Would definitely beat Nick and Amy!
I loved the reaction of Bill and Carolyn at Trump trying desperately to show he didn't keep Jen M. because she was a beauty queen with purty hair. Bill looked amused; Carolyn looked PISSED. But it's not like she shouldn't have seen it coming.

Oct 20, 2005 @ 9:06 pm
TOUCHDOWN!!
Jen sucked, but if I was on that team, I'd rather have the sweet but dim Jen come back rather than the incompetent (remember Task 1? Yeah) and obnoxious Kristi.
And Carolyn in charge plus some quality Boardroom ass-ripping next week? Awwwyeah.
depthfunction
Oct 20, 2005 @ 9:07 pm
Well that Zathura movie looked like a real stinker. I think the fact that the movie execs are already worried that no one is going remember the name or even how to pronounce it almost guarantees a flop.
And Trump on DoOL? He's the most handsome man that other actress ever met? Bwah! I'm gonna have to try and watch that.
Jodeci
Oct 20, 2005 @ 9:07 pm
Kristi is a toxic bitch. Could she be any more immature about getting fired?
Just when I had repressed the memory of Adam singing and Brian rapping, they play it as the closing music....my ears are bleeding. I actually had to cover my eyes in shame during the reward scene. Poor Wyclef Jean.
Yay! Boyfriend Bill! I wish we could have seen him do more. He's pretty.
I LOVE that guy who directed the movie! But wow, has he really let himself go, or what? He has the sexiest voice...and he definitely brings the funny. I was cracking up at his face during Jen's "Zenthura" presentation. Come on, honey...the name's not that hard.
Markus, please drop down an elevator shaft.
PinkyTuscadero
Oct 20, 2005 @ 9:06 pm
She had it comin', although I was suprised that Trump went with Kristi. Jen M is too desperate to be liked. She wants to be everyone's friend. I don't know why they let her handle the presentation when she's so bad at public speaking.
The problemw ith this team is that it's full of too many chiefs and not enough indians. These women are used to working for and by themselves and have no conept of team work.
I'm gettign tire dof the guys using Marcus as a punching bag. The PM (James?) has a major Napolean complex. Josh is nothing but a bitch. He's worn out his welcome with me as well. He's not funny, he's not bright he's just that annoying guy who complains all the time, calls co-workers "dude" and "bro" and eats all the bagels on casual Fridays.

Oct 20, 2005 @ 9:07 pm
Well, Markus appears to be back to his worthless self. I really wanted to support him, but obviously the problem does lie within him and his inability to do anything productive, ever.
Brian did well controlling him as project manager. He was the right amount of harsh with him and got Markus to at least express loyalty, even though we never saw the extent to which he contributed after their talk.
It was hilarious, though, when Trump was describing the task with the typical giddy reaction shots, and the camera focused on James and dragged like, a foot down for Brian. Hee. Poor guy.
I don't think Donald made the right decision as far as the current task--Jen M. seemed to blame for this loss--but I also don't disagree with the firing of Kristi so I can't say he was completely wrong.
foultemptress
Oct 20, 2005 @ 9:06 pm
HATE Kristi. I'm not sorry at all that she's gone, but she didn't deserve to be fired, Jennifer did. And Kristi, maybe, just maybe, Jennifer was genuinely trying to be nice at the end. Bitch.
I need to spend some more time with the guy's bios because I still can't tell most of them apart, but they all seem cute and funny right now--how cool was their reward and that song was hilarious!
I really hate the way this show makes it look like most women when put together will be catty, bitchy, and total disasters.

Oct 20, 2005 @ 9:07 pm
The appearance of Wyclef Jean on this show seemed weird enough in and of itself.
...but then they began to sing. And rap. And play large drums.
The only upsides to that entire segment were: referring to Brian as a "Medium Pimp" and what looked like even Wyclef giving Markus something really simple and minute to do.
If the name of the movie is not apparent enough that you could not realize that there is no N in it, it should have been bigger and put in more places.
NotTheBox
Oct 20, 2005 @ 9:07 pm
Whoo hoo! I knew I didn't like Kristi but this week really showed why. Loved the "I asked if this was Kristi's float or our float." Float really truly sucked. Jen did too but I don't care, Kristi is just hard to take. "You're bossy" "You mean I'm bold?" while she cutie pies it up. I said from the beginning, she's not half as good as she thinks she is. Without the attitude she could be ok. Jen was stupid though- that one guy gave her her perfect boardroom argument, it wasn't about the presentation, it was about the float. She sort of tried to cry her way through it.
Marcus is having a real meltdown too, isn't he? He may be saved for awhile by the reshuffle. Next week looks interesting, wonder who it is? t Has to be Marcus, doesn't it?
Loved Carolyn and Bill cracking up at the mispronunciation. Carolyn's hair was all frizzed up, what was that about?
Kristi- classy exit, bitch. "Shut up." Yeah, that's how I feel, but about you.
zoidbergMD
Oct 20, 2005 @ 9:06 pm
I'm shedding no tears for Kristi, but Capital Edge lost this task on the creative level, and the project manager is ultimately responsible for that. (I actually thought they'd keep Kristi around for sheer entertainment/ratings value, the same way the disgusting Jim somehow survived last night's Apprentice: Martha.) And getting the friggin' name wrong during the presentation? That's just unforgivable. People have been fired from this show for far, far less.
If Excel Corp. are the Beatles, Markus is Ringo.
How could someone not make a reference to Swingers with Jon Favreau around?
EyelinerCrush
Oct 20, 2005 @ 9:08 pm
Hey Jen M. -- where's the "n" in Zathura? Zenthura? Don't they make beauty queens take public speaking/enunciation/literacy classes?
Kristi was annoying but it was not her day to go.
Markus is so smarmy and ick. And I'm in love with Brian. It was his "cool" outfit w/ Wyclef Jean that did it. Mmm, pinstripes.
Smiley1130
Oct 20, 2005 @ 9:07 pm
Seriously, Brian is what, three feet tall?
Carolyn has the skinniest legs I've ever seen!
Jen M. was the reason they lost this task, although Kristi is certainly disruptive. I am so sick of listening to people continually interrupting and trying to talk over others.
You know when The Donald fired Kristi, Carolyn was thinking that he only kept Jen because she's a tall beauty queen.
And...The Donald on Days of Our Lives??? I'd like to see his shouty version of "Acting". That would be priceless!

Excel's song reward made my week. I LMAO & fell off my couch. I actually liked Kristi. She should have petitioned to switch teams. She & Alla were the only 2 women on CE that I've seen contribute effectively. Marshawn seems great for exposition, but I haven't really seen her with strong ideas that translate into results. Never expected LOL from the apprentice, but I'm glad I missed CSI for this one.

Oct 20, 2005 @ 9:07 pm
I'm fine with Kristi being gone. Yet again, an Apprenti still hasn't learned to keep their yap shut in the Boardroom. Stick with the business at hand ans don't say shit until Trump asks you a question!
Capital Edge is still going down in flames, though.
Worst. Reward. Evah. If I was working on a float damn near all day, I'd at least want dinner! Who wants to hang out with Wyclef? Why make a suckass song that will never be heard beyond this episode?

At least, for me it was the worst reward ever, because if there was anything I didn’t need to see, it was a bunch of white guys thinkin’ they’re layin’ down some wicked ass rhymes with Wyclef Jean.[/quote]
Poor Randal, but hats off to keeping his cool (despite not being 4-1). He has to leave Excel, and the very next prize is with Wyclef. Although I would've feared that Wyclef would've given the Spike Lee treatment to Randal.
A boardroom first: Dear God, please don't let Trump fire Carolyn since she sat in the Hair Chair!
Meanwhile, Markus is still a tool.

Oct 20, 2005 @ 9:08 pm
I was happy with that firing even though I was completely surprised by it. I do think it made sense for different reasons though. Kristi did come up with float idea and the float was horrendous. I think Jen's public speaking skills suck and I don't think she brings much to the table but when it's two people that both suck equally, sometimes you just have to go with the worse of the two evils.
Also Jen. Capris seriously? Uh, no.

Just when I had purged "Trump's Rollin' Up" from my memory banks, I get a new Trump rap! Trump: The Soundtrack can't be far in the future.
That firing was a rare surprise from the editors. I thought the Bill and Carolyn quotes made it obvious that Jen M was going down.

Oct 20, 2005 @ 9:09 pm
Ding dong, the twanging's gone! I don't care if she wasn't as bad as Jen M. At least my ears can heal now.
Did anyone else laugh at this? When the teams were assembled to hear the task, there was a close shot of Adam, and then the cameraman had to pan diagonal-down to show Brian.
Brian, a piece of advice. Don't say you were 12 last year. With your height, they might believe it.
Who want to go see Zanthura with me. I hear Zanthura is a great movie. The Zanthura trailer's got me hooked. Too funny!

Oct 20, 2005 @ 9:09 pm
Glad Kristi is gone. She wa such an idiot seeing how close it was going out to wait in the loby and then coming back into the boardroom and showing how "difficult" she was.
Gawd Bill is still such a douche. He sits there grinning that stupid ass "I just crapped my pants, I hope no one notices" and say nothing. Until he asks jen a question and then cuts her off again and again and never lets her anwer. Hey douche-Bill? Stop answering your own questions.
And that was the most awkward and humiliating reward EVER.
Carolyn looked pissed at the end and I thought it interesting that she didn't even make the slightest comment like she has in the past. Bill, on the other hand, wants Jen gone but then doesn't bother with petty puckers but lubes the tongue for some real ass kissing.
"I'm going over to Sony, hold all my calls" WTF? Does Trump not know after all this time, what it means to "hold" calls? What an ass.
And exactly how was Randall supposed to use all that knowledge of the mens team's strength and weakness against them? I'm not sure the whole task-oriented competition thing has quite sunk in for some of these guys.
Favreau shoudl think about mounting a now "fired" Kristi's ass on the front of the float to provide special effects. Not only does she apparently shot meteours out of her ass, but the laser beams she was shooting at Jen and then in the cab beat anything Lucas has put on film.

All I have to say is, it looked like Caroline was gonna snatch Donald bald if he'd asked her to agree with this firing.
Well, that and this:
Anyone else notice Bill's plaintive look to her as he did his obligatory ass-kissing? "Yes, Donald, you're right. (Yes, yes. oh please caroline you know i love you and you're the only one whose opinion matters please don't take this to mean i actually agree with him) "

I don't think it's the show that makes the women look like that. I think a lot of these women ARE like that. It's just the kind of women that are chosen to be on this show. It's been like that, way back to Katrina in Season 1. Only there are more of them now, and I think that's probably because they comprise the vast majority of women trying out for this show.
