So George has been a soda jerk, radio exec, and lawyer. Is there anything our snarky TV Grandpa can't do?

Guess Clay could have a glass of milk to go with his slice of bitter. I have a feeling that Adam felt all funny inside after getting into a three-way hug with Alla and Felicia.

Good idea for Randall to pull a Kwame, and save his rear-end.

Just as I was thinking about how I liked Clay at the beginning and end of this epi, he goes and gives a bitter cabterview like that.

I love how Trump really belives that he is the sole owner of all those buildings. I was waiting for him to tell us that he owns the Statue of Liberty too.

I actually liked Felisha's artist. I think I would buy that album. I feel for both of those performers, having to be dictated to by the likes of Clay and Adam.

You would think when taking into consideration the past, Trump would take into consideration the entire past history of the contestants including the fact that Clay and Randall are 2-0 as PM whereas Rebecca is 0-2 as PM. Surprising that little fact did not come up. This is not to say I am not glad Clay was given the cobra fingers over Rebecca.

As for Felisha, man did she get a good edit tonight and almost no mention of Alla. I guess we need to be given some reason as to why she (likely) makes the Final 4.

ETA: YAY! George is back. Man that guy has done a lot in his lifetime. That grin he had when he said he loved Hard Rock warmed the cockles of my heart. Awww.

Was it me or was that the shortest boardroom yet?

Bye Bye Clay!

Hehehe!

Excel should have went with the female group they showed them interviewing first. They were generic, but in this task, generic was good.

Though I had to laugh at the guy who said Excel was too formulaic, yeah, that covers 95% of music out there on the airwaves today. I thought CE was just as bad or worse. I've heard that song they did before, by such groups as Dave Matthews, Gin Blossoms, Blues Traveler, etc.

Anyway, more cracks in Randal have been shown.

I didn't pay attention, did Felicia get immunity and a free pass into the final four?

Two episodes next week, or just one drawn out episode?


Oh, and bye Clay!

hehe!

I was a bit surprised that Rebecca went for Randal's throat like that. I mean, I can see where she thought she might have a chance to get rid of a better player than her, but damn, didn't she think about the fact that she might still have to work with him the next week? She completely blindsided him in the boardroom.

So, is it just me, or did Clay's bitter-view in the cab basically tell us that he thinks Alla is going to win? He says that Rebecca and Randal don't have a chance, because they don't have a creative bone in their bodies. He says that Felisha and Adam are "next," since Alla doesn't have Clay to pick on anymore...so that means that Clay endorses Alla as the last one standing?

I love that even as he's trying to put her down, Clay recognizes that Alla is far stronger than he ever was.

Aaaaaaahhhhh!!!!! I hated this task. What if you've never listened to an adult alternative station before? How would you know what the right sound is? The song Excel created sounded like a pop song. Maybe that's the kind of music they listen to. It was just so stupid. It wasn't a measure of anything.

I'd love to see how well Donald, Carolyn and George would do on a task like this.

And Donald, thank for the definition of the word history. " Things that happened in the past." Gee, I learn something every time I watch this show.

Clay was never going to win. Ever. But he at least had 2 wins as PM. Rebecca lost twice. And what is this "superstar" label for Rebecca?

They lost because they chose the wrong format. Whose decision was that? Rebecca's.

Thought Clay was a prickly, arrogant pain in the ass...but he contributed. He had a whole different song written up and had to change it becasue Rebecca chose a different idea.

Such bullshit. Rebecca is being kept around...why?

What the hell was Felisha wearing when they met Trump. Alla looked bad enough in her Old Navy Dress-cut denim jacket. But Felisha looked like something 'Hello Kitty" coughed up. And then the obi wrapped top. For someone who can never have enough table linens, no matter where she goes. And the top she wore to the presentation? When the artist looks more buiness appropriate than the woman presenting him? The jeans during his interviews? I wonder if Tanya Tucker knows Felisha raided her attic.

And Adam? Bitching about loyalty and lack there of concerning Clay? Isn't a real sell coming after you three failed to vote him immunity after the win. Regardless of whether he deserved it, you looked like an idiot. I actualy enjoyed that Trump pretty much cut you off. And how the hell can this current Miss Universe be "our best yet". WTF?! Don't they open malls and sit in ugly white jeans in Trump's office smiling vacuously while serving no purpose whatsoever?

While overall, none of these people are something I would hire, Rebecca and Randal showed so much class with the issue over Clay. Professionalism. It's what Alla and Felisha are never having for dinner. Alla bitching and whining about the whole personal dynamic Clay brings. Well goodness Alla. Maybe playing whisper-whisper in the corner since day fucking one with your little useless pal Felisha? Didn't really help.

Clay. Alla might make it personal even as she complains about him doing the same but I so would love to be a fly on the wall in a normal business setting with Clay. If his interactive behavior was a vocal tone? He so does not have an inside voice. It's like running into someone you barely know at the drugstore and have her flat out tell you she are picking up her genital warts medication. There simply is no where to go from that point. I would love to see Felisha in a real professional setting as well. Though she is probably the "Yes" girl who always manages to appear attached to successful projects she really had nothing to do with. Alla I already have a good idea how she would appear in a professional setting. I am old enough to remember Leona Helmsley.

And a big boo and hiss for putting the negative comments about the song in the previews so we know that Excel is going to lose the task. As soon as Capital Edge was done, it was needless to even air Excel's presentation. I wonder if every single one of the listeners' comments about Capital Edge's song were favorable or they just edited it as such. Regardless, I wish someone in their editing would get what you put in a preview and what you don't to maintain what little tension and drama is supposed to be wrung from from this.

"Plenty of room". Really? But the ego came on board.

Clay sucked. As a team player. But I am not sure how he necessarily lost the task. Rebecca steered the focus of the song and that was pretty much what failed. Still I do think Clay needs to go. But I think it is unfair to call Rebecca and Randal "stars reduced to nothing" because of Clay. Rebecca is hardly a star. Randal, maybe in the world of The Apprentice. George hit the nail on the head. But that would have meant firing Rebecca despite trump trying to rewrite hsitory by claiming Rebecca has been a "star". Rebecca had a lot to make up for since Toral in my opinion. And being the lesser of a bunch of losers the last couple of tasks is not a star turn by any means.

Is this the worst line up going into the final five? Kendra all makes all of them look so shabby. Kevin and Sandy make them look shabby. Clay's comment about Rebecca's ankle was a little odd but loved the whole poor Felisha and Adam comment. Because that is soooo true. Adam will likely just look his usual stunned out-of-it self. but Felisha? Damn I am so looking forward to seeing her face when her BFF Alla aims right between the shoulder blades (from Felisha's standpoint it will be backstabbing -- most likely it will just be within the parameters of the game).

Trump was probably thrilled that Randal visibly tripped up so he can play his "i'm not sure who I'm going to pick" game in the finale.

Hee, Trump gave Clay permission to switch teams.

I thought they would lose as soon as they chose Jide. He did not have the adult-contemporary vibe. But what was up with the "callers"? Were they for real?

I think this is the first time I have ever been aware of a man being thought of as a bitch. The first (and only thing) going through my mind during the cabride was "OMG, what a whiny little bitch."

And to think I kinda felt sorry for him in the BR right after the firing.

Did anyone else expect Trump to then fire someone else, after Clay's "You're fired!" was uttered?

"Clay is a road block"

Was anyone else hoping for Phil to come out as that was said...


"A road block is a choice between two tasks, each with it's own pro's and cons. This leg's tasks are bitching and sniping...."
