I have questions--in the video, what were those two people doing--the ones where one was on top of the other's head? Is that legal in public? How is he holding him up in the air? I HONESTLY THINK I AM SCARRED FOR LIFE! Listening to Bai Ling sing should make me feel bettah....

Hmm...I would comment on this, but it was a FRIGGIN' WEEK AGO! Kudos on getting it up before the NEXT episode. I mean, I know you guys are NEVER on time. I accept that, but I was fired up about this episode on Thursday and Friday...now it's like, "Who cares?"

Primarius sounded like they were heading a protest against Tide.

Seang - Get your own website and update it yourself. These people have real lives and are not here to provide you instant entertainment.

TVgasm is great! I love you guys.

Guess what I bought at Target this weekend?

Yep!

Peter Arnell must be the love child of Moby and Stanford Blatch. And how pretentious of Martha was it that she kept calling Peter by his full name? And why the hell when he came to the breakfast the next day did he cover Martha's eyes and make her guess who it was. After all, he told her the previous day that he would drop by. Jeez.

After some thinking, I've realized that in terms of money earned per word spoken on TV, Alexis is now a close second to Vanna White.

The Primarius presentation was downright hilarious. I loved Jim's Flavor Flav impersonation, but he should have tossed in a few "Yeah, boy" comments to keep it real.

Genius. All of it! (I am talking about your recap, not the show). Especially the line, "Those two had their noses up each other's butts to such a degree, they called to mind that MC Escher drawing with the lizards."

To the naysayer out there, the wait for an update is worth it, because it builds up the anticipation of another brilliant recap. So there.

Laska - Exactly!!

What a ridiculous display.

I'm glad they are doing mass ejections on both Apprenti this season. Get rid of the riff raff. Sadly I can't think of one person on either show that I would want to work with, let alone work for me.

:shock: Not only was Jim on point, and productive, he wasn't anything like his usual bombastic annoying self I've come to loathe. I'm confused.

But yeah, the Mark Burnett foreshadowing was so heavy-handed this week, you can hardly believe they even said that sh*t in the first place.

Sugar Walls. Sheena Easton, no?

I don't get that screencap of Howie. Is there a snarky caption missing?

chronic -

Yes, Sheena Easton. I made a mental note to look that up but obviously forgot. (It's fixed now.)

As for the Howie caption, don't worry about it. It's a wrasslin' thing.

Ah cool. Thanks!

I'm a latecomer to this show, and I'm sure this must've been discussed, but how do they let Charles do all that obscene and frankly disturbing stuff to his unlit cigar on primetime network tv.

This show continues to bore me week after week, and yet, I keep watching for some reason. I often wonder if these candidates think their 15 minutes of fame from being on this show is a tradeoff to the "prize" of someone actually working as one of Martha's underlings.

If you watch her daytime talk show, you see a lot more of the "real" Martha than you do here. She was cooking with Carnie Wilson last week and berating the woman for not cutting a pomegranite correctly. Scary stuff.

any recap that throws a shout-out to both toughskins and the rock is a recap worth waiting for.

gimme a hell yeah!

isn't "come inside my sugar walls" a sheena easton song?yes..i am a child of the 80's.

As excited as I was to read this recap and saddened every day that it was not posted. I'm grateful that it was posted at all. Thanks sg-dub, great reacap. On another note, did anyone notice that it appeared that Martha kept the winners outside the whole time a brunch? I wonder what she has to hide? Maybe they just didn't show that part but you would think she would want to have more than the usual people ooohhing and awwwing over her things and accomplishments.

You know, as much as I try, I can never understand those "Primarius" name variations that are always joked about. Perhaps the recap would be more fruitful and "efficient" if they were left out.

I mean... seriously...

What?

I personally enjoyed Carrie and Sarah holding hands in slow motion during their exit video. I really was hoping they would make out in the cab on the way home.

Just an idle observation based on the last photo; Why do so many of these women on reality shows have such a major forehead wrinkling problem?

Seriously, what is up with that? I am a woman and I'm friends/family with lots of other women and NOBODY wrinkles their forehead up so dramatically as these reality TV women do.

Does it help them think up lame promotions better or what?

Jess, your comment cracked me up.
And I could not agree more with Laska.

With all of this supposed creativity and intellect. To come up with an ad campaign that could easily be topped by any high school DECCA class.

Another one of those Apprentice WTF moments.

Off topic, but does anyone know when the new season of Project Runway airs? I could not find the air date on BRAVO's website.

usnrnpage -

Project Runway 2 premieres Wednesday 12/7. How do I know? Cause I'm recapping it.

You are eezer EEN, or you are UUT!

Here's your "hell yeah!" copygodd.

And do away with the corruptions of the name? blahblahblah, are you on crack?

Finally, I heard the two twits have announced that they have gone into business together since being offed. Oh, there's an empire in the making...

I’m starting to warm to Alexis Stewart. Her complete and utter disregard for what makes good television is refreshing. This woman makes absolutely no attempt to hide the fact that she is miserable on this show (and possibly in her life). That has got to count for something, right? With all the fake smiles and laughs in this world she stands out as a beacon of misery. Where else on tv can you see someone so consistently droopy doggish? Am I alone in by burgeoning affection for Alexis Stewart? Anyone? Anyone? (crickets) Great recap as always.

PS - the only thing that could have possibly made the Tide-To-Go rap any more wonderful/hideous was if special guest-vocalist Bai Ling had joined the group. Sg-dub, I think Chronic is referring to the caption-less pic of Howie sitting on the city, not the Rock one.

How can Arnell say he was completely underwhelmed? I spent the entire night singing "It's time for Tide to Go" and doing the Jim dance. In fact, the song is still in my head. Isn't that good marketing?

I have to back up SeangSTM

this is late and NOW WHO CARES

^taradash, it looks like you cared enough to post your worthless comment a full two days after the article was on the blog.

I'm fairly certain that this is a blog, written by some college friends, who make no money doing it. As such, I'm fairly certain they all have "real" jobs and lives and families and things like that. I just dont' understand the hostility that has crept onto this once friendly site.

WTF is wrong with everyone all of the sudden?

Phakir

youre totally right sorry

xxOO

Oh. My. Godyouarefunny sg-dub.
And 'blahblahblah', the funky suffixes added to the team names ARE hilarious just BECAUSE they are. To explain them is to explain away the snarky magic.

I agree with Bdos88 that Alexis and her silence is too too funny. I mean, how could you not be silent with Martha by your side, ready to explain why she is the best and the bestest and can prune bushes and talk on the phone AND research how to get her ankle bracelet off all at the same time. But I love SG-Dubs comments about her mute-ness. ON THE MONEY funny. More fans of the quiet one on this site:

Man, Jim really did act like a monkey. My apologies to all the monkeys out there. My two favorite parts were the guy walking down the street with his fingers in his ears, and the father who had to comfort his child from all the bad Tide singing. As for Martha not letting anyone into her home, she's probably hiding someone in the basement--a la "Desperate Housewives." Mommy lets Alexis out only for her few sentences on the show...

Good recap, thank you for the laughs!

I LOATHED Jim the first two or three episodes! All I could say was that he was some bipolar crackhead, and it was just a matter of time before we'd see the lows. As time has gone by, though, I realize that he provides what little entertainment value is to be gleaned from this show.

To his credit, regarding the Tide to Go episode, if you go to the official Apprentice website and watch the deleted scene about the brainstorming session for the campaign, you'll see that Jim had some really amazing ideas, such as "Run Spot, Run". Those idiots that perpetuate the dumb blonde stereotype ignored all that was offered, and waited until the 11th hour was nearly up and still had nothing, whereas they could've just opted for one of Jim's good ideas. They were just too arrogant; it seemed that their attitude was that they wouldn't deserve any credit if the idea used wasn't theirs.

One of the reasons I'm coming around to Jim is that he works his ass off on each task. I thought he was hilarious on that float. He knew it was a disaster and yet he was willing to give it his all.

Poor Bethenny, though. She really looked pitiful, bless her heart.
