But Can They Sing? - 
by B-side
Outside the Boardroom, the ever gimpy Rebecca seemed on the verge of teetering over as she finagled open the big doors. Seriously, she's on freakin' crutches. Can't anyone open the door for her? Randal? Clay? ROBIN? Lazy receptionist. Anyway, once in front of Trump, the sparks flared, or at least shimmered briefly. To be honest, this wasn't one of the more exciting showdowns. Clay once again insisted that his "What about me" brainchild was ignored, but Rebecca countered that it was "whiny" and "weak." This caused Claymarosa to react with a shocked "WHAAAAA?" face, as if he hadn't even heard this critique before. Ultimately, Trump declared Clay difficult to work with (no way!), but then decided to turn the harsh light of the interrogation onto Randal. Regarding the erroneous poster, he asked, "Isn't that a firing mistake?" Uh oh. Don't get rid of Randal! Stand strong Randman!!
Luckily, George swooped in to save the day by noting that the group didn't lose the task because of Marketing. Phew! It's okay Randal. You can wipe your forehead with relief. Your oily, oily forehead. Or could he?? After more group questioning, Trump returned his ire towards Randal and said, "You're too good to put on a performance like that." Uh oh. The music is building up. Will this be the upset of the century? Say it ain't so!
"But in life, you've got to look at past events. And that's called history," Trump said (and yes, we know what "history" means). Uh oh, Clay. This is not gonna be good for you. Sure enough, Trump banged the table and shot off his finger gun: "Clay, you're fired!" You know, it's sort of sad. Not for Clay's sake, but when Omarosa was axed on season one, that was just an epic, disastrous Boardroom. Surely I hoped Clay would leave in a hellstorm of bitchiness and rage, but alas, all we got was this meager confrontation. If it was any consolation, the prissy loser did provide some post-Boardroom antics as he smiled passive-aggressively (is there any other way?) at Rebecca and then refused to hug her. "No, you changed on me. That's okay," he snipped. He later added, "You said something you didn't have to say about me." Huh? What did she say? It's times like these that I really wish Toral were around to whip Clay into shape. She would have hated this task though -- especially if she had to sing. The Toral DOES NOT sing. Such acts bring shame and indignity upon her family and peers. After all, singing is something those cute secretaries do on their ever so precious weekends.

Bitch.
Well, Rebecca and Randal headed up to the suite, and before Clay went down to the street, the normally tight-lipped Robin chirped, "Goodbye Clay." What's up with the administrative workers loving Clay so much? First Rhona, then Robin. He must be giving them makeover tips. You just watch. Next week they'll both be wearing polka-dotted blouses.
Meanwhile, in the Boardroom, Carolyn turned to The Donald and sighed, "This was a tough Boardroom." Why? Because it was so boring? You is a crazy lady, C-Dawg.
We then saw Clay pile into his cab, and then came the moment we were all waiting for: his petty, vindictive response. "They're going to lose the next task horribly, especially Rebecca with her broken ankle," he said. Sooo is there going to be a marathon? I don't understand why the broken ankle matters. Maybe there'll be a dance marathon. Or a sock hop. I guess we'll just have to wait to find out.
What did you think about this episode? Glad to see Clay gone? Or sad that there's no enemy now?

PASSION! Now excuse me while I wipe my monitor off....
I wonder if Mini Aqua Me had any say in the creative balance of product placement. Like Trump really drinks his own water.
I'm puzzled about how Rebecca's ankle is going to cause them to lose her next task horribly, too.

Wooooo, Toral, oh how I miss her expressive little face!!!! LMAO
"Claymorosa", brilliant. Glad to see him gone, he was just a bit too evil and whiny to enjoy. Was a bit confused when they were remarking at the end that it was a hard boardroom decision. wtf, easiest decision ever - get rid of that useless bitch.
Should make for a stellar bring-back-the-crazy-ones finale though.
Er, am in Florence now, hence the "early" post so the recaps will have to tide me over til I get home *sniff*

Hmm, Clay wasn't the nicest of people and fully deserved to be fired. However, is the caption about the phone up his private parts really necessary? Is that even funny at all? I don't think so. Making fun of his patterned shirts and bitchy ways is just fine and funny, the personal attacks are hurtful.

Is it a personal attack to say someone has a stick up their ass?
Posted by: B-Side | November 22, 2005 5:27 AM(#4 of 49)
Or to imply, rather.

Please do not listen to east coast.
I loved how the whole time Levi was singing you could see Adam sitting there thinking "I could sing it soooo much better. Maybe he'll invite me to do a duet?!?"
Posted by: Leah3t | November 22, 2005 5:46 AM(#6 of 49)
Yeah, that would be a personal attack...

Okay.... Rebecca broke her ankle in week 2. She said the doctors told her it would be 5-6 weeks before the cast came off. Here it is Week 9, and she's still in a cast. We all know the what's really going on, but ya gotta love continuity errors.

Clay, your name is mud!
Amazing how the little bitch could alienate and bring down his new team so fast -- even Squidward Joy Of Man's Desiring was affected.
I pictured him gazing in a huge crystal ball like the Wicked Witch Of The West when he was making his "predictions" in the cab. If any Flying Monkeys in patterned shirts skuttle the teams next week, we know who to blame.

What, no screencap of C-Dawg's new 'do? The ponytail thingie was cute!
Also, has anyone else ever noticed/laughed at the ghostly George head that sometimes appears in that sunburst mirror behind the apprentices when they enter/exit the boardroom? It cracks me up every time. BoooooOOOOooooooo, ghostly George heaaaaaaad......
Posted by: Jess | November 22, 2005 6:34 AM(#11 of 49)
Positively the best recap yet. I laughed out loud in the law library here and people looked at me like I was crazier than Claymorosa him(her?)self.
Posted by: JaxJD2B | November 22, 2005 6:45 AM(#12 of 49)
Did you notice how Rebecca seemed to turn on Randall in the boardroom? Although I fully agreed with her statments, she was brilliant in bringing up Randall's mistakes so that the Trumpster would see going forward that Squidward is not so perfect after all. I think Rebecca has been the best Apprentice candidate to date. We are down to the final 5 and she has stepped up her game by making one of her biggest competitors seem weak. And without having to be mean about it.
Love the screen cap of Claymarosa and the phone. He has acted like that thing has been up his butt this whole time.

One more thing, who makes those horrible, horrible midis anyway? MAN that was bad!
It would have been a great song to have playing as Clay took his cab ride of shame.
All together now: "What about me? It isn't fair. I've had enough now I want my share. Can't you see? I wanna live. But you just take more than you give."

Sheesh! Hasn't gay America suffered enough this season at the hands of reality television? First that horrible, vile, quasi-human Evette from BB6, then Jeff the dictator from Apprentice:Martha Stewart, and now uber-bitch Clay. At least we have Rafe from Survivor to show that evil is not encoded into the gay gene! Maybe this is a shift in reality type casting. Are this season's "wicked gays" replacing previous seasons' "crazy black women" or what?

Excellent Recap B-side,you made a Ho-Hum episode hilarious - love the accompanying pics!
EastCoast imposter go back to the MidWest
Oh wait... is that a personal attack???? Mwahhh!

Hey east coast! Get that stick out of your ass. And yes, that's a personal attack.
Posted by: meme | November 22, 2005 8:11 AM(#18 of 49)
Boring episode, but greap recap- thanks B-side! Seriously LMAO at the Clay & Toral captions.
I really like Rebecca, but she is now 0-2 as a PM, so I don't think she has a chance. Is she still sporting the cast for sympathy from the Donald?
I am appalled that Felisha is still in this- no personality, fugly, no talant- and yes East Coast, those were personal attacks. Deal with it!
Posted by: Lauren | November 22, 2005 8:22 AM(#19 of 49)
Rebecca is awesome. She should win. I like Alla, but I think she's probably too "exotic" for the Trump organization.
and Starlight (#15) - I totally agree. Go Rafe!

Meme darling, sorry, I am confused. You must be suffering from some unresolved projection syndrome. I feel so sorry for you (most people do, in fact). Is this stick-up-your-bum fetish something you want to share with the group? Please do! We love you unconditionally and would hug you, except you are very icky.
Lauren, poor thing, you obviously cannot spell to save your life. I guess you wasted all those (few) years of education for nothing. Oops, sorry, I guess that could sound a little personal to most people...
Retroqueen, you are just boring.
Adios muchachos!!
Posted by: East Coast | November 22, 2005 9:21 AM(#23 of 49)
Well, in spite of lost Randall or Rebecca is going to be the last one.
Why!!!!!
Let’s face it Rebecca is truly American with her "honesty" and "integrity"
And Randal yes ,you now, it should be politically correct ….. Finaly
Posted by: Nodoubt | November 22, 2005 9:23 AM(#24 of 49)
You guys really think that this all really lasts 13 weeks? Rebecca still has her cast on because the tasks are days apart from eachother....not a week. They make it seem like it's a lot longer when in reality the whole thing probably takes two months at the very most to finish.
Oh....and East Coast....you sure sound like Clay....all bitchy and for no good reason.
And that is an attack.

Happy Thanksgiving! And thanks to TVGasm for another brilliant recap!
Posted by: Casey | November 22, 2005 10:03 AM(#29 of 49)
Great recap B-Side.
I had some Happy Days flashbacks when Trump fired Clay. The way he slapped the table and cocked his finger at Clay was SOO VERY Pinky Tuscardero!
And Carolyn's lame pony tail was kinda Leatherlike.
Oh yeah... I invoked the names of the Tuscadero sisters, you know it!

Brief story. I found out that my aunt knows George's niece so I of course had to ask her to get me an autograph. It finally came last week and he signed it, George the "Judge" (yes, he used quotation marks around the word judge). So, could we please now refer to George as George the "Judge"?

Double L, where did you find the Rubble Man mp3s?
Thanks for the post! I enjoyed them.
Posted by: Qman | November 22, 2005 1:36 PM(#33 of 49)
A bit of pointless trivia for you. 'What about me' is actually an Australian song from the early 80's. A new version was released a couple of years ago by the guy who came second in the first series of Australian Idol. Also to note is that Jennifer Hawkins (Miss Universe) is also Australian and she relinquished the title and returned home a long time ago, so it must have been filmed about 6-8 months ago.
Posted by: Ben | November 22, 2005 2:10 PM(#34 of 49)
Qman,
On Yahoo's Apprentice website, they have streaming audio of the Rubble Man in the episode summary. I used a little appy to record the audio and make mp3s so everyone can enjoy the Rubble Man. I mean, when I'm on my way to the club, I'm gonna play the song... it's so FREAKIN' AWESOME!
Posted by: Double L | November 22, 2005 3:21 PM(#35 of 49)
Eastcoast: You're a bitter old cunt.
People who put themselves on reality television choose to be lauded or criticized for both their abilities (or lack thereof) and their personalities. Clay is a nasty little queen, and having made a point of being gay, he's opened himself up to gay jokes. It's no different than the drag queen/stripper jokes about Alla, or the virgin jokes about Adam, or the Squidward jokes about Randal.
Find something else to be pissy and shrill about.
Posted by: holyterror | November 22, 2005 3:40 PM(#36 of 49)
Anyone that can reference obscure 80's songs in a recap rocks.
In light of how boring this season seems to be I thought I would share this site I found.

but when Omarosa was axed on season one, that was just an epic, disastrous Boardroom
Omarosa's firing was the best boardroom ever! Nothing will ever top her going back in the boardroom early and having The Donald bellow "NO ONE SENT FOR YOU YET!!!!"
The second best boardroom was the one from a couple of weeks ago when The Donald was shocked, stunned, and surprised to find out that Clay was gay and that Adam was a virgin.

The Toral floating head should appear randomly throughout the website...and those of us in the know will pee our pants! It's Toral on the OC! Look, Toral and Rafe on the beach petting crocodiles! Toral and House play doctor!
Now, that's some Toralpassion!

Posted by: Nicole7 | November 24, 2005 11:02 AM(#45 of 49)
Hey Dan: (#8 AND #9)
The cast thing is most likely NOT a continuity error. Do you think they actually have one task per week? These things are like a 24 hour turnaround, so this whole process is taking no more than a total of 5 to 6 weeks. More likely 4 weeks, with probably 3 or 4 tasks per week. Thus, Rebecca will still be gimping it into the chivalry-vacuum called the Boardroom right up until she wins it all.
Posted by: JohnGalt | November 25, 2005 6:49 AM(#46 of 49)
OMG, these recaps are fantastic, keep them coming!
I think the 13 weeks is the number of episodes. Since it seems that every task takes 2-3 days, at most, we're probably looking at about 39 days of actual filming time.
Claymarosa! That's the best ever.
Does anyone agree that this is a pretty weak group? When Randal and Alla are the best and someone (Rebecca) who's 0-2 stands a chance of winning, it's pretty weak.
Too bad we're going to lose this show soon...
Posted by: Jay | November 25, 2005 10:17 PM(#47 of 49)
I miss Clay already. Who to hate now? I wish he had at least tried to slam the door on his way out. What a bitch. How long do you think it will take him to write a book? And will you read it?
