I think the bullhorn caper was funny and smart and clever. What was unethical about it? CE hadn't paid for them yet. The megaphones were NOT their property. Whoever shows up first with the money gets the horns. What difference does it make to Radio Shack? Trump and Rancic both thought it was great and there was nothing illegal about it. Capital Edge just got outsmarted.

Alla went up the the suite because she had nothing to do with the loss and because she's better than Felicia and Adam anyway. Adam's stupid idea to spend all their money plastering carriages was the reason they lost. I thought it was a good firing and I'm glad Adam's attempt to scapegoat Felicia for his own mistake didn't work.

Sorry, I had no problem with megaphone gate. I didn't find it unethical one bit because honestly had the other team been in that position, they would have done the same thing. Randall and Rebecca weren't outside the door eavesdropping on what Alla and company were doing. They came upon the information. No money had been put down on the transaction. No names were left. If anything, it should have been more motivation for Alla, Felicia, and Adam to win. Megaphones aren't what made them lose the task.

I also was not at all surprised that nobody in the boardroom--Trump or viceroys had any problem with it. I really didn't think they would have.

I'm not sure how I feel on Adam, but I do think he's a classy guy. It's nice to see a cabride not full of accusations about how everybody else sucks.

Edit: I did however love Carolyn calling Adam and Felicia out as the weakest. Loved Felica's look of shock...HA!

There wasn't anything wrong in claiming those megaphones; in fact, it struck me as precisely the kind of thing Trump would and has done to get ahead. You find out what your competitor is trying to do to get an edge and you pull it out from under them. That's the whole reason there are "intellectual property" and "non-competitive" clauses in people's employment contracts, because large companies go out of their way, just like the US and USSR in the Cold War to spy on their competitors and steal secrets. This wasn't even that morally suspect tho', because they just stumbled upon the megaphone deal but were cagey enough to move in first. If the other team had *really* wanted those megaphones, they would have paid for them in advance over the phone and then Radio Shack would only have given them to someone producing the matching credit card. That's just the kind of thing that happens at the retail store I work at; people want you to put sale items on hold, but that's not fair to other customers who take the extra effort to be in the store early. Unless you are going to legally claim an item by buying it out right, all's fair.

[QUOTE]On to the show, I actually thought that Alla should have been fired. What the hell did she do?[QUOTE]

No question, it was Alla's responsibilty to decide what ideas to go with and how to divide up the budget. She didn't do that, and so she should have been the one to go. Thing was, neither Adam nor Felishia were canny enough to point this out right away, and by the time she was gone, they'd lost that chance. From there, it was even odds who should go. Frankly, I think the hiring of unattractive, unmotivated non-English speakers was more detrimental than the unattractive, unmotivating, but at least in English wrapping of carriages, but Adam didn't attack Felishia with enough specificity. Too bad; I can't stand Felishia.

And finally:
[/QUOTE]Karma, eh?[QUOTE]

I almost fell off the couch laughing when she said that. Man, if there *is* a law of karma, I sure wouldn't want to be the manipulative stripper two innocent lesbians were murdered in order to procure ....
