Hi again Gasmii!
Did you enjoy this week’s episode of CA? I found myself laughing out loud at the contestants quite a few times. It was an enjoyable way to spend an hour of my evening. Unfortunately, the show takes two hours but I don’t really remember much of the snooze-fest board boredroom except that the end result was sad but necessary. So let’s get down to this week’s events – where the final six face off for a chance at the main title. Exciting stuff to have the top six finalists; must be the best of the best, right?
Right.
So the episode picks up with Lisa getting her free pass from last week’s boardroom and joining team Unanimous in their war room. Aubrey comes on to revel in the most stunning turn of events:
“How amazing is it that I’m the last one out of these people standing to win a big check and I’m the reason why most of the people here have won a big check. I’m stronger and fiercer than both the people on my team. Whether you like me or hate me I’m the reason why we ever had a creative on this team. Period. Point blank.”
What I find amazing is her healthy and oblivious sense of self.
Clay and Dayana return from the boardroom and no one is shocked that Penn got sent home. Clay says while he’s sad to see such a strong player be sent packing, he’s in it to win it, so he’s also glad.
Meanwhile, Lisa gives birth to twin baby hippos.
Aubrey is delighted to finally be able to deliver some winnings to GLSEN – the Gay, Lesbian, Straight Education Network. I’m confused about their name – isn’t lesbian a type of gay? Aubrey strolls in looking like Little Orphan Annie after she’s been adopted and greets the two worker bee’s with a familiarity they don’t seem to share.
Do we know you, uber pretty and popular girl who clearly has no sexual identity issues?
After Aubrey presses her breasts on both girls guys kids, she asks if they have ever been bullied in school.
“Yes, but now I’ve got others talking and things have gotten a lot better.”
That is one courageous kid! Good for you, beautiful child. Aubrey doesn’t even respond or act like she cares about their plight. Instead she makes it all about herself.
“I was also bullied in school.”
Bull shit!
I’m with the GLSEN kid. I’m sure Aubrey THINKS she was bullied – anytime people don’t agree with her that she’s the best thing since Boston Creme Pie, she considers it bullying. Real bullying is when you are alone at the lake and a bully is throwing rocks at you, so you swim out to the dock in the middle of the lake and shiver and freeze your ass off until the sun goes down, waiting for the bully on shore to go away so you can slink home and feel super crummy about your wimpy, cowardly self. Nobody with as much self appreciation stuck up their own ass as Aubrey has was ever made to feel that way.
Aubrey tells us that in school she suffered all the time and she didn’t have any teachers to turn to like these lucky little whiny brats. Her plight is a far more serious story. She says she was constantly bullied and she was very different from the other kids.
Maybe if you had been a little more cleanly and washed off
the mold spots, things would have been better.
In walks Eliza, an adult who works for GLSEN. She’s the older version of the awkward kids Aubrey has been one-upping and this woman extends her hand for a hearty man shake greeting.
Hello Aubrey, nice to meet you.
But no, the clear body language that says this woman does not want to come into close physical contact with Aubrey is ignored and Aubrey insists on pressing her breasts against this person too.
I would call this a subtle act of bullying.
This girl won’t stop touching us.
I know – I’m totally uncomfortable and weirded out. Plus, I clearly have a crush on Eliza.
Aubrey tells them that she’s fighting very hard and has brought them a check for 50K (it includes her 10K tear stained manipulation).
Aren’t I the most delicious pop star and don’t you just adore me?
Aubrey tells us she reminds herself every day what she’s fighting for and that she has posted all around her bed the pictures of children who have committed suicide as a result of extreme bullying.
“This is my suicide collage. That’s Frankie and Tommy and Amber and Jenny.
That one is Mark and there’s Bethany. Oh this is Peter, but he was only depressed.
He wasn’t bullied, so he doesn’t count.”
This is the look on her face as she talks about dead kids.
It’s time for the teams to assemble and this time they are meeting by a lake. Because the task will be about songs. That’s how these things work.
New fashion rule: chunky women cannot wear chunky jewelry. Period. Point blank.
Ol’ Sparky is joined by my two faves – delicious Ivanka and Dorkus Amongus. There is also a representative from Good Sam – a company I’ve never heard of before, but Sparks says they are the largest organization of RV owners “anywhere”. Maybe I would know the name if I ever had an RV.
The Good Sam guy makes me think of a cartoon character – but I can’t quite place which one.
Their assignment will be to create a jingle for Good Sam and to perform it live in front of an audience. Sparks wonders who has the advantage on this task. He points out that Clay Aiken is one of the greatest singers… as he’s musing, Arsenio is frantically pointing to Aubrey.
Please say her name, Mr. Trump.
I can’t handle the hysterics if you don’t.
Trump says, “Oh yeah, Aubrey. We think of you as Playboy cover, but it’s actually singing, isn’t it? You know it’s terrible to be type cast sometimes.”
God knows, I’ve never heard your music, but your pictures
are still in my bathroom’s gold magazine rack.
Bwahahahahahahahaha!!!
Arsenio volunteers to be the project manager for Team Unanimous. He tells us he already knows Aubrey will be spending the day trying to steal his thunder. For team Forte, Dayana says she wants to do it, since she’s tired of being marginalized. The winning team could potentially have a huge windfall as the reward will be forty five thousand dollars outright and 100% of the profits from the Good Sam bobble head that is to be sold.
Arsenio does a white man happy dance, proving that besides Whitney (RIP)
he’s the only other black person that can’t dance. Teresa looks like she forgot
to change after playing dress up with her daughters.
Aubrey looks like she’s embodying Poison Ivy. (I’m sure she described this look as fierce.)
Team Forte is riding in their van and strategizing about song styles and who will sing.
Lisa and Clay are doing most of the talking while Dayana
takes her time mulling over genius ideas.
Dayana finally speaks up to ask if most jingles are related to Christmas music. BWAHAHAHAHA!!!!
Poor dear, I totally get why she would confuse Jingle Bells with a commercial jingle. When in her life would she have heard the English term for short blurbs of music you hear on a radio during advertising? Clay explains it to her patiently, but Lisa takes obnoxious delight in the fact that Dayana doesn’t know this term. I would love to take Lisa to South America and throw her out of a plane over Caracas and see how she does trying to get anything done in a big city in Spanish. Vaca gorda estúpida.
Dayana goes on to muse that they will need to come up with words that rhyme with tire, oil, – just anything that rhymes. They should all start writing it down. Don’t spoil my oil when you expire your tire.
Alright, fine – I see your point, Lisa and Clay.
Clay points out that usually the melody comes first. Lisa sneers “that’s for sure.”
As if you know anything about this, vaca.
And then, Dayana comes up with her most brilliant idea to date:
“Can we just call Debbie Gibson?”
Bwahahahaha!
In the Unanimous van, Aubrey is throwing out “amazing” ideas that involve cheerleaders. Arsenio doesn’t think that suits any of their personalities, except Aubrey’s.
But I’m the only one that matters, has-been comic guy.
Her next idea is that she will teach them an easy tap dancing choreography. Arsenio says that tap dancing has a whole different societal meaning for black men and he’s not tap dancing.
But what about Gregory Hines?
Apparently, Gregory is the exception. Arsenio refuses to tap dance.
What’s next? You want me to paint on white lips and pose like a lawn jockey?
“Arsenio is the biggest girl on this show, so I don’t know why he doesn’t
like tap dancing or wearing cheerleading outfits. We all know he does it at home.”
Aubrey’s got some priceless words this episode, so forgive me for continuing to quote her.
“I was just thinking of what would be most effective for you to win as project manager, so that we could have the best performance possible.” That’s pure bullshit gold.
Arsenio marvels that she already knows what the winning idea will be. She starts to back off and acknowledges that Arsenio is the project manager and they should do what he wants.
Teresa sums up the whole situation with her usual Hemingway-esque verbiage.
“That car ride got a little bit awkward. I was like awkward.”
Unanimous is meeting with the Good Sam exec and Aubrey of course manipulates the conversation to get the guy to admit that Good Sam is a cheerleader for their project. The guy has no idea how to respond to Aubrey’s out there suggestion, but he incorporates it into his message that Sam represents integrity, affordability and peace of mind.
Told ya!
At Forte, Clay and Lisa are leaning towards a doo-wop ’50′s sound, but then Dayana says she wants to switch it up a little bit and bring it up to the ’80′s. Clay and Lisa just sort of roll their eyes and continue to discuss how they will develop the jingle and create the lyrics. Good Sam guy comes in and encourages them to go out on a limb and not play it safe. Clay surmises that choosing a ’60′s sound is not playing it safe because it will appeal to everyone(???) Dayana is irritated that Clay and Lisa seem to be steamrolling over her.
At Unanimous, we catch up with them just as Aubrey is passive aggressively asking, “so everyone here is a size 4, right?” Well I wasn’t going to do this, but I can’t stand those kinds of questions – they are a form of bullying, by the way, because if you aren’t you have to admit what amounts to a failure. So this was earned, Aubrey!
There’s all kinds of funky bulges in that size four.
The musicians have arrived and Aubrey explains that they are trying to come up with a fresh sound that is akin to Black Eyed Peas and Gwen Stefani. In addition to calling it fresh, which was a term she used for the perfume, she also refers to it as new wave. I thought new wave was something like Yanni or Flock of Seagulls or something. She asks Arsenio what his vision is for who will sing, but what she really means is
Now is when you tell me I should be the lead singer.
Then she asks Arsenio if he wants to rap in his song. At first I think he’s going to shred her for proposing yet another stereotypical black man action, but then he surprises me.
I won’t tap, but I will rap!
At Forte, Clay encourages the team to come up with the song style so they can move on. Dayana says, “Ok, let’s come up with some beats, then.” And she starts snapping her fingers and bouncing in her chair as if this will conjure a song.
Bwahahahaha!
Clay says he’s never heard of a song ever being written that way. He encourages they focus on a style first and Dayana suggests Duran Duran. Clay sounds like he’s starting to lose it as he points to Good Sam and growls nothing about the mascot says Duran Duran.
The musicians arrive and Clay asks them to play some sound samples of different styles for Dayana to choose one she likes. Finally after taking a nostalgic walk through the 50′ and 60′s, they arrive at a sound Dayana approves of. It’s in the ’60′s.
Oh my f*&%ing God!
Dayana says she likes the sound but she would prefer if it were more….(searches for the word)… pink.
Say what?
Clay exorcises his frustration.
Actually, Dayana is now asking if the sound can be more yellow. Or maybe all red.
I’m on candid camera, right?
While this is hilarious, I have to say I really like the idea of describing sounds with colors. I think Dayana’s lack of terms has forced her to come up with a creative solution that is very appealing. We already have the blues, why not have the yellows or the reds? Red would have to be angry stuff, while yellow would be probably be more like Kenny Rogers.
At Unanimous, Arsenio has assigned Teresa to promotional materials and instructed Aubrey to help her. He’s practicing a drum solo that the musicians have planned for the beginning of their performance. Afterwards, Arsenio requests that they record the background singers.
There will be no singing without my presence!
Despite not being asked, and not being one of the background singers, Aubrey abandons her assignment and saunters into the recording studio to insert herself with the background singers. I missed it the first time I watched the show, but she actually says “It’s the Aubrey Bops!” to the singers as she walks into the recording booth.
No one better sing louder than me.
At Forte, Clay is starting to create the song. He’s got “Good Sam” down but needs filler words. Dayana suggests, Good Sam: it gets you back on the track. The she sings it in this horrible high pitched voice and shimmies her shoulders in a clearly girl can’t dance way.
Bwahahahahaha!!
Clay points out that track doesn’t rhyme with Sam and Dayana does genuinely seemed confused by this. I’m trying to give her the benefit of the doubt and listening to how she pronounces it, thinking maybe with her accent it does, but no. Sadly, this episode is reinforcing all the complaints that have been made about our Miss Universe in nearly every episode.
Dayana wants to sit beside Lisa and write the song lyrics together. Lisa says she can’t create with Dayana watching over her shoulder. I have to give Lisa kudos for remaining polite and patient with Dayana up to this point. As Dayana accepts that Lisa needs to do it alone, she warns Lisa to put back in the one lyric she wrote: We put you back on track. In confessional, she comes on to complain that there is no respect for the project manager and her ideas.
Oh, stunningly gorgeous woman, why must you prove
everything they’ve been saying right?
They are recording the song and Clay has some amazing pipes! I missed his season of American Idol, although somehow I did hear his version of Don’t Let The Sun Go Down on Me – I think it was required viewing by all of America. The only song I remember by him was called Invisible (I had to look it up) – I just remember some creepy lyric about wishing he could be a fly on a girl (maybe it wasn’t a girl)’s wall.
I had an idea that he was a good singer, but those are
some serious chops we are currently hearing.
Lisa comes on and tells us she’s excited to hopefully replace the Crystal Light remix created by Debbie Gibson that continues to run through her head with this new little ditty.
Dayana interrupts the groove to ask Clay if he really wants to sing the lyrics, Sam is my favorite man. I don’t see how Clay would have a problem with that and he tells Dayana not to worry about it right now. She thinks maybe the background women should sing it. Strange, conservative choice to be concerned about for a woman fighting for people with AIDS.
Alright – I see what they mean about her micromanaging stupid little stuff.
Clay hopes this is the Venezuelan symbol for fuck you.
Lisa is now in the recording booth and she’s doing a talking informational blurb and Dayana comes on to ask Lisa if she can do it in a cuter voice. Maybe try to be less scary.
Bwahahahaha!!!
Dorkus Amongus arrives to check on Unanimous. They perform their jingle for him and he thinks things are going really well. But then he and Aubrey go into the sound proof room and she spills her proverbial poison guts. “Arsenio’s not creative. I’m the only one that’s creative and I’m the only one that has the creative on every single task since being in Unanimous. That’s a fact. That’s not an opinion. It’s impossible for him to make a decision and stand by it. He always has an excuse. He tiptoes around everything. He isn’t capabale of just saying what it is, doing it and standing by it. Three very simple things that you have to be able to do in business.”
I am the victim here, Donald Jr.
Lookout Arsenio!!!
Over at Forte, they move on to discuss the look of their presentation. Dayana wants one hippie in the mix, since they are doing a ’60′s song. Clay outright says no and Lisa says they can do a hippie if she wants, but it’s a bad idea. Clay comes on to tell us he hasn’t had to draw on such reserves of patience since he taught special needs kids in the classroom. BWAHAHAHAHAHA!
Dayana describes how frustrating her teammates are.
She looks cute even like this. Imagine if Lisa were making this face!
Dayana tells us she’s worried that having the ’60′s on stage won’t be diverse enough to appeal on a broad scale (my interpretation of her limited words). She’s got a good point, although in no way does adding a hippie to the scene help that concept.
But then again, it is kind of cute. Maybe it would appeal to the masses.
Dorkus Amongus appears and asks Dayana how things are progressing. She tells him they are lucky to have Clay on their team as he has great ideas. Lisa pipes in that she was involved in those ideas too and Clay shouldn’t get all the credit. Dayana says nothing. When DJ asks her if her ideas are being heard, she says not really, since Clay knows what he’s doing and Lisa is being as loud as possible. She continues to try to talk, while Lisa jumps in to claim that isn’t fair since she’s been quiet and cooperative this entire task (which, astonishingly enough, is true). Lisa tells Dayana she’s being passive aggressive, while Dayana finally stands her ground and refuses to be interrupted. I love it! Dayana is finally playing dirty with this bitch. Sadly she waited too long, and she hasn’t got enough weapons in her arsenal to compete with this strategy.
I’m so hurt you aren’t giving me credit for my work.
And if you say I’m loud, I’ll show you loud!
You are so out of line, you can do this thing yourself!
And Dayana’s response to the whole thing:
That’s right, vaca, show DJ how unprofessional you are.
I say good for Dayana! Yes it is passive aggressive to push Lisa’s buttons like this, but why not? It’s the first time she is fighting back and it is about time. Sadly, I think her plan is to have Lisa implode unprofessionally in front of the judges, but Dayana isn’t a strategist, and in the end this looks like what it really is; someone working extremely hard (and trying to be nice for once) who is hurt that they aren’t getting any credit. The writing is on the wall, sadly. It truly is time for our beautiful girl to go.
At Unanimous, Arsenio agrees with Aubrey’s idea that she and Teresa should start on the choreography while Arsenio lays down his rap track. While riding in the van, miss “amazing ideas” is plotting her boardroom campaign as she decides they have no direction from Arsenio and so don’t know what they should do. Interesting, since this entire concept was her idea, she’s already proposed doing choreography and she point blank suggested to Arsenio that she head over to get things started. She suggests Teresa call Arsenio.
But Teresa refuses to be part of her obvious manipulation
and thrusts the phone at Aubrey to do the talking.
Good girl, Teresa! Unfortunately, you, like Dayana, are developing a game play a little too late.
Although Aubrey acted like she was listening to Arsenio’s vision, she has decreed that he doesn’t know what he’s doing and therefore she will take over. She’s moving his drum solo to the end of the production and assigning him a role as a stranded motorist alongside Teresa.
Good Sam arrives and Aubrey insists on pressing her breasts against him too.
I’ve got three theories on this strange human behavior Aubrey O’Day is fond of displaying. One was that it was a customary greeting from whatever world she is from, but turns out she is from San Francisco, so that’s out. (Show me the birth certificate!) My second theory was that maybe she has no feelings in her boobs and has to press them against objects to get any sensation out of them. Thirdly, since last episode she described her idea of success being about how much you improve others lives by giving of yourself, maybe she thinks Aubrey boob crushes are a blessing for those lucky recipients she deigns to bestow them upon.
Arsenio arrives and is surprised to have so many things changed up. I think he’s nervous about his drumming bit, because when he finds out that Queen Aubrey has moved his solo to the end of the performance, he mentions that the music for the drumming is in the beginning. Aubrey probably recognizes that he’s not much of a drummer, so I think there is some calculated evility in telling him to just drum it free style. Aresenio decides he won’t do the drum thing, but it isn’t because he’s pounting, as Aubrey says, it’s because he was hoping the music would cover for him. Here she is again, bullying Arsenio into a performance where he has no net. Poor dude. You are no match for her.
Forte has arrived at their rehearsal studio and their peppy dancers seem to already have a routine and invite them to start dancing right away. Dayana happily obliges.
Oh my. Dayana is a triple non-threat.
They are trying to stage the performance and Dayana is once again nitpicking. She asks Clay if maybe he should try standing in a different place because she’s wondering if he’s too far in the corner. He musters all the patience he has and says he’ll stand there if that is what she wants. But she was trying to ask if maybe it would be better, she wasn’t trying to tell him to do it. Still, Clay finally loses it and tells Dayana he’s a grown ass man who knows far more about this stuff than she does. This morphs into a shouting match with him complaining that all she’s done on the task is the promotionals and she should either tell him what to do or shut up and let him do something he gets paid big money to do. I think Clay shouldn’t have blown his fuse because Dayana was simply asking, but her micromanaging has killed the atmosphere and created too much tension for them to do well. Dayana slinks away and says her new strategy will be to just hope the judges like the final product.
It’s show time and during the prep, it seemed like Lisa was in charge of directing the costumes and make-up while Dayana sat on a bench and watched.
Omar called. He wants the tent back by 3.
The jingle is actually a really good song. It’s pretty good musically and Clay nails it.
But I’m not a big fan of the condescending smirk on his face.
Also, I don’t think the radio idea was very good and the choreography was kind of lame. Seems to me if all they were doing was rocking back and forth, Dayana could have mouthed the words and pretended to be one of the back up singers. I think not having her in the performance will hurt their chances of winning. But then again, maybe that is the idea.
The performance ends on a high note with a huge round of applause. Sadly, Dayana demonstrates her inability to recognize when to stop on a high note, as she walks out in dowdy clothes, with no mic and tries to speak to the audience. She does realize once she’s on stage that she’s killed the moment, so she just keeps saying thank you. But no one can hear her.
This high five will never bring back the elation you killed, honey.
*sigh* I’m disappointed with this move on Dayana’s part, because it is pure ego. She should have stayed in the wings and let the success of the moment ride itself out. Oh well, who doesn’t know by now that it is time for one of my faves to be sent packing?
Dorkus Amongus pulled the short straw and has to attend the performances with cartoon Good Sam exec. The exec tells him that he loved the energy of the Forte performance. He felt they played it safe with the demographic and he hates that Dayana came on stage in an old lady sweater that wasn’t even the company colors. But he says overall they did a great job.
Team Unanimous is up next:
Teresa and Arsenio start out acting as if they are stranded on a road at night and they are scared as they are walking. Teresa is using her hideous Fabulina voice, but they are getting laughs from the audience. Aubrey comes on to say their performance was horrible and it’s really difficult to have to work with people who aren’t as talented as her.
It’s enough to push a girl to thoughts of suicide.
Teresa pushes an ap and out appears Good Sam and the cheerleaders. The bit starts off with a boring drum beat that they didn’t bother to fill. It’s obvious that’s where Arsenio’s solo was supposed to be and without it, this is an awkward start to the performance.
The whole cheer leading thing doesn’t make sense to me.
Arsenio is a little off on his rap and frankly I think Aubrey’s song is boring and akin to Debbie Gibson’s annoying Crystal Light remix. She has decent pipes – but she sounds like every other young female pop star out there right now. A litle nasal, actually. Frankly, even off beat, Arsenio’s rap is the best thing about the song, besides the part the male background singer sings.
The song ends and there are applause, but the bit doesn’t end there. Arsenio asks Good Sam to take him and Teresa home and then he breaks into a pretty lame drum solo while Aubrey leads a cheer that tries to get the audience to shout “Good Sam!” Then they all sort of march off stage in a state of awkwardness that is a little embarrassing. That Aubrey – she always claims she’s the creative, but I’m not sure I’ve ever heard her say she can execute the stupid shit she thinks up.
Cartoon exec says he really liked it. He gushes about their energy and their great brand messaging and that he can’t get the jingle out of his head. He also liked the use of the mascot. On the flip side, he hated Aubrey’s boobs popping out of the cheer leading uniform.
But these are my gift to mankind.
IN THE BOARDROOM:
A brief warning: I refuse to devout any time to this egotistical nonsense that Trump drags out so that he gets an hour of airtime. There is lots of arguing between Lisa and Dayana, as Lisa is throwing Dayana under the bus just as she promised. Dayana seems to be trying to bait Lisa to get her to flip her lid and maybe be fired for inappropriate conduct. But Sparky likes it when sparks fly so that will never happen.
Arsenio is declared the victor, which leaves us to watch more arguing between Lisa and Dayana. The end result is inevitable. We all know that Dayana’s time has come and sure enough, she gets fired.
So long, pretty lady.
I’m going to need some of that young blood.
But wait – she’s only like 100 pounds.
How are we going to divide that up evenly?
You two go ahead. I’m still full from Penn.
And Melania wouldn’t like it.
Mmmmm…. Mendoza meat.
Are my fangs showing?

When Dayana asked for the song to have more colors, I wondered if she has synethesia.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synesthesia
I wonder which one of the NBC executives told Trump to get rid of Dayana? He fought with NBC to have her on, thus why she was around for so long.
The casino company Penn works for sent a $250k check to his charity. They thought he did such a great job. Awesome company.
Just to clarify, Yanni is “new age,” which is like an audio sedative.
Also, with as much time as Kenny Rogers spends in the tanning booth these days, he’s more likely to be described as orange.
Actually Dayana’s suggestion about a hippie would have been good. Many of the people enjoying RV life now were once hippies.
Good Sam Cartoon Exec Guy looks a bit like actor Larry Miller, although there is also a resemblance to Schroeder from Peanuts.
You have outdone yourself!!! Brilliant!!!!
My wife sees numbers and letters as colors, so I guess some people see musical sounds that way also. I read once that the late pop composer Laura Nyro directed Miles Davis how to play on one of her albums by telling him which colors to use, and that he knew what she meant.
You beat me to it. I was gonna say Larry Miller with more hair.
OMG, I laughed so hard it was starting to hurt! (I had to pause after the Aubrey Mobile until I could breath again). You outdid yourself on this one and got it on here quick! I love your recaps!
So many good points in this review… but so little time to touch on them all.
Gotta give you tons of credit for trying to capture the real Aubrey on paper week after week. Give you an A+ for your work….even though you did not mention that for two weeks in a row, she has let her Spanx hang out (I hate when she keep tugging down on her dress). Size 4 be damned. Let’s call it a size 8 packed in a sausage casing and be done with it OK?
Excellent job in recapping this episode – as usual – other than the wrong team won!
It was certainly time for Dayana to go. Now, how can I erase Aubrey boobs overflowing in her too tight cheer costume?
When Dayana started with saying ‘pink’ my first thought was the artist until she followed up with ‘yellow’ then you see Clay walk around, shaking his head and go over to his chair to have a quiet flip attack.. “add some green to it if you have the time.” That was funny! But the funniest thing was in the BR when Clay was silent for two whole segments (commercial breaks) just making all these faces while D and L were going at it. FINALLY he was asked to speak, then suddenly stopped by DT again. It was a nice comic relief from the drama. Clay plays it cool in the BR for the most part and knows what he is doing. I also don’t think he was too harsh as many feel with Dayana. He was pretty patient through out that entire task/ordeal and then blew his top when she claimed to know more about staging than him. I think she slightly poked the already angry bear when she back-talked him after he obliged when asked to move to the other side.
I was having a crappy day until I read your recap! I hit the first “Dingus Amongus” and started snickering like an idiot! Thanks for making my day a bit better!
Aubrey, Aubrey, Aubrey. I can’t believe there is someone more obnoxious than Lisa Lampanelli, but you take the cake. And wear it on your hips.
I can’t believe she has pictures of dead, bullied kids in her bedroom and can actually smile about it. If there is any justice on CA (pretty sure there isn’t), she will go down in flames and it will be soon. Can’t wait to see that! What a frickin’ coochwaffle she is. And it probably has dark roots, too.
It’s really frustrating to watch this show and observe that one team has created an obviously superior product, only to have the Donald eventually announce that the other team won. The judging just seems so arbitrary.
If Trump is swaying the judging process in order to keep/eliminate certain contestants, it’s stupid but understandable, since this show is already clearly a sham and the eliminations are hopelessly subjective.
If, on the other hand, the executives handling the judging are reaching their conclusions without any guidance from our Dear Sparky… well, let’s just say it’s no wonder that I don’t use (and have often never heard of) their products.
I thought Clay’s team should have won. The intro with Arsenio and NJHW pretending to be lost was painful to watch, and the whole cheerleading concept was odd and out of place. Then to add insult to injury, we have to watch Aubrey gloat after winning. The other time the losing team was clearly superior was on the shilling-for-Buick episode.
Never heard of a coochwaffle – love it!
Brilliant recap!!
While Dayana looked like a liability in this task, all she had to say in the BR was, “Lisa and Clay didn’t like my ideas. So they did their own thing. It’s their fault that we lost.”
She should point out that while Lisa is the loudest, her ideas aren’t the best because she usually loses.
The thing with Celebrity apprentice, is that Trump always wants a guy vs girl finale. And he clearly wants Clay (which is why he saddled him with two losers), so I guess, for the finale, he’s going to pit him against Aubrey.
Call me clairvoyant.
(The backfire on this is that the finale is usually a fundraiser, and we’ve already established that Aubrey can’t bring in any dollars. Maybe that’s why the bulk of these challenges have been for set amounts of money, rather than fundraisers like last season.)
I thought it was so obvious Clay’s team won, I was actually shocked when he announced the winner. Aubrey’s group looked unrehearsed and sloppy.
This same RV company was on Celeb Apprentice last year and it was the task we got one of the best lines ever in reality TV courtesy of the legendary Dionne Warwick: “I got your number hussy.”
Love your funny spot-on recaps — Great job on this one! And Clay truly has “some amazing pipes”! Check this out:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XFh6d4w6xMY
Lot of songs by Clay on youtube — but this one is one of my favorites.
Thanks for making my day with your recap! It was time for Dayana to go. Can’t wait to see what happens next.
You have the greatest screen caps for Aubrey. Hilarious!!! I’m so glad I don’t have to hear Dayana talk about respect anymore. Geez, girl, people won’t respect you because you demand or expect it.
The Forte jingle was right up Good Sam alley. People who belong are from the 60s. The hippie thing wouldn’t work with the style of music they had, so Clay was right. I remember the words from their jingle and they were good and they rhymed…no back on track to be found.
The Good Sam guy looks like Lonesome Lenny, an old cartoon character from Tex Avery.
Laughed out loud many times…great recap!
To hear Aubrey talk, you’d think someone really screwed up and the phrase really is, “And on the seventh day, Aubrey rested.”
Heavens what a skanky looking snatch (to quote a friend of mine).
I wondered this too, but some interviewer asked her what she meant, and she said: “My English is not perfect … All I meant is that I wanted it to be more happy. I wanted it to be more bright.”
Why she didn’t just say THAT instead of ordering them to play colors, I don’t know, but it wasn’t synesthesia.
Um….didn’t Paul Sr raise like 7 times what Aubrey did in one task alone? And Dayana also raised a substantially larger amt that 50K (and not just for her own task either)
I so want Aubrey to NOT win….I’d almost want to see her f;’up the final task and lose there but I’d be happier if she was fired before Teresa. THAT would be awesome.
This song is so fitting with this recap too.
Just like last week, if Sparky had acknowledged reality and handed the win to the team that deserved it, Arsenio would have thrown Aubrey under the bus hard enough to leave a streetwalker-shaped hole in the pavement. She took over to such an extent even Trump couldn’t have figured out a way to lay the blame on one of her teammates, and he’s not ready to usher her loony ass down the elevator. Insanity like Aubrey’s is the reality show version of the holy grail.
I don’t think Aubrey will win. This is Clay’s to lose. But I do think she will go to the finale, just so all the fired contestants can come back and we can get 2 episodes (4 hours!) of her bossing people around. Clay, on the other hand, will have a brofest with Arsenio, Penn, and quite possibly, Teresa. I think he values her work ethic more than Aubrey does. She’ll stack her team full of egos, starting with Lisa and Debbie.
I think so too — and he can sing anything!
“Actually Dayana’s suggestion about a hippie would have been good. Many of the people enjoying RV life now were once hippies.”
Except that, as Clay pointed out, the hippie culture didn’t really start until the later 60s. The sound and theme they were going for was Four Seasons/mid-60s.
I think you’re wrong about the finale.
Has anyone else noticed how Aubrey has managed to make “creative” into a noun?
Also, that smile of Clay’s that you described as a “smirk” – his smile is just naturally lopsided like that most of the time.
Well, you “think” I’m wrong. And I’m just guessing as to where it seems the show is going.
So there’s a 50/50 chance one of us is right.
Call me clairvoyant.
Sarcasassy, my money is on you. Your logic (if such a term could be applied to anything that has to do with CA) is flawless. One thing about Sparky is his sense of what will bring in a buck, and those two in the finale are money in the bank.
BTW, found an interesting interview with the newly-deposed beauty queen:
http://www.mandatory.com/2012/04/29/dayana-mendoza-on-her-firing-from-celebrity-apprentice-trumps/?icid=maing-grid7%7Cmain5%7Cdl3%7Csec1_lnk3%26pLid%3D156562#page=1
‘Coochwaffle’. Timeless…
Thanks for a GREAT recap! I’ve laughed out loud and now everybody at work is giving me the side eye. Oops!
I can’t claim it, but it’s become one of my favorite descriptions and is still a c-word since I won’t use the other c-word. Actually, I got it from T & T, but not sure who originated it. I agree, it’s brilliant!
Dayana really handled herself with grace all season against constant battering from Lisa. I love your sentiment about seeing how well Lisa would do on Celebrity Apprentice in another language.
I was actually surprised Dayana was fired so easily. The reason they lost was the concept of the jingle was too conservative and did not incorporate Dayana, and Clay and Lisa wrote the entire thing. I know it was Dayana’s job to manage the project, but they bristled at any suggestion she had – including when she suggested a different era of music. Lisa loves to take credit for writing everything in every task, but what is her record. She always loses. Dayana made a great point that Lisa’s hostile behavior would not fly in a regular workplace, I personally would have fired her on the spot in my workplave if I saw her screaming that Dayana was a F***ing b**** over and over again.
And don’t get me started about Clay’s ego. He certainly sings well, but he comes off like he thinks he is Frank Sinatra or some type of music legend. I could see his frustration to a point – but he has a pattern of snapping on teammates in the past. He’s a quieter gentler version of Aubrey.
All in all I am glad to see Dayana go because she really waa too good and nice for this show. Now I’m pulling for Arsenio.
I still cannot believe Teresa hasn’t been fired. No wonder Juicy is home cooking.
Okay my thoughts on this episode.
I was worried Aubrey’s boob was going to pop out of her cheerleader costume.
I am a hugger too under most circumstances so I get why she hugged the charity lady and the Big Sam. Mascots are for hugging in general.
I was mad at Arsenio for dissing tap dancing. Tap dancing is awesome and I will hear nothing different! Thank you very much! (former tapper)
Dayana was stupid as hell this episode and deserved to be fired. She should have just stepped back and let them run with it. Then when they lose tell Trump that it was their talent and their expertise and she figured they could handle it and so if they lost it would be their bad, not hers. Bye bye pretty one.
Why must Lisa cry every damn episode!?
I still think Teresa is cute and she was cracking me up with her little stranded performance.
yep. I saw the spanx last week peeking out of her dress. Definitely spanx. Which is fine, just know your limits girl.
That icked me out too. So when she has sex in her bed the dead kids are watching her?
I will say though you never know about bullying. I was a pretty girl in school. But I still got bullied because I had glasses but my body was a 10. I was a dancer. Stacked. I think the other girls would attack me out of fear I might steal their man or something. I was also a nerd and got made fun of for that too. I was bullied so badly in middle school during my awkard phase that I attempted suicide and had to go to a mental hospital. So pretty girls now, may not always have been pretty or they can still get bullied badly in school. You never know.
Oh yeah if Ivanka sucks Dayana’s blood maybe she will absorb Dayana’s immense beauty and then Ivanka will become the most gorgeous woman ever. Because Dayana plus Ivanka would be like super beauty extravanganza!
Good point. I forgot about that. I found it very shitty that Lisa went off on Arsenio for calling Aubrey a bitch yet she called Dayana one. Pot meet kettle.
I disagree though about Dayana being of ANY use this episode. I mean I understand the language barrier and culture barrier, but her ideas were totally useless.
Lisa was all “Don’t tell me how to do business. I’m at the top in a man’s field and have been for 21 years. I make a lot of money and have people working FOR ME who have master’s degrees who are a lot smarter than YOU, blah, blah, blah…” The thing is, that in her show business life, she controls the purse strings so she can pretty much act like a tyrant and dictator and nobody can say or do anything about it, other than quit. Dayana was talking about a corporate environment, and she was absolutely right.
I think it’s easy to forget that all those on Apprentice are by now just worn out. Three tasks a week, 16 hrs. a day, up at 5am, work til sometimes 10pm, & cameras in their faces that whole time. Plus, they have to deal with all those different personalities and egos. I understand the board room is 3 hrs. long and they turn off the AC — so it’s hot. They sometimes have to wait a long time for Trump to come in. Can you imagine?
Also, I have to remind myself that editing plays a huge part of these episodes. With all that film, they have to cut it to about 40 min., fit in commercials, then the looooong board room. A lot of good stuff, I’m sure, ends up on the cutting room floor. These episodes are edited, IMO, to come out a certain way regardless of what actually went down.
“I still think Teresa is cute and she was cracking me up with her little stranded performance.”
My flesh was crawling when I watched that, but that’s just me. But, even if you thought it was a good bit, is Teresa really any more useful than Dayana? I would say, overall, that Dayana has brought more to the table than Teresa. Saving Penn after the Walmart/Walgreen’s flub and bringing in a lot of money for other PM’s fund raisers come to mind.
No she is not very useful. She is good at doing the menial tasks and she knows when to shut her mouth. She is probably better than Dayana at the knowing when to shut your mouth thing.
I like Teresa’s kind of ditzy muppet like act she puts on.
Just to make it clear. I like Dayana a lot and supported her in every task till this one. So count me a Dayana fan. She just really had an off day on this task and it cost her.
Lisa is shitty..in fact she is a huge and I mean HUGE TURD
…I loved the picture of her huge legs and the caption under it ..what was it?..” Lisa gives birth to twin baby hippos!”..In fact I can see Aubrey doing big girl modeling soon..she is no size four try size 12 without spanks! Two very vile women…
I heart you, Snowshoecat!!
I was glad to see Dayana go…but honestly, has Teresa done ANYTHING during this entire season? I think she should have been fired about 6 episodes ago! She certainly isn’t the sharpest tack in the box.
Maybe. But it’s also possible the editing has been really, really kind to her on previous tasks, and she was this annoying all along.
Not that that would excuse Lisa’s treatment of her. Lisa is a horror show. My God how I pity those people ‘with masters degrees’ who spend their days working for Lisa. If this is how she treats her equals in a work environmen, imagine how tyrannical she must be toward employees.
True, but wasn’t Lisa PM in the second episode, the one at Medieval Times? As I recall it, she was already in royal bitch mode, and that was well before physical and emotional exhaustion had set in.
You’re right that editing is everything. It can be kind, or it can be unkind, and it can be either to the point of being grotesquely misleading. But they can’t edit someone to say things like “play pink and yellow” “Monster!” or “I impress myself” unless those sentences really fell out of the person’s mouth at some point.
Right on, Vickie.
Ah, my thoughts exactly, Krys.
and hilarious…
also “you take the cake and wear it on your hips”, bwahahahahahah
Oh, Daisy, you are funny. I’m having as much fun reading these comments as this great recap.
Can anyone back this up for me: the rv exec looked like one of thos bad fed dudes (vague I know) on prison break..? It’s driving me crazy!
DaisyHurts, I agree 100%, I think the editing has been exactly that, check again the clips of previous drama. Doesn’t mean she isn’t beautiful, etc., and it’s no excuse for Lisa’s mouth, but if you’re trying to get something heavy done on deadline with little sleep, yikes!
Arsenio did not diss tap dancing. He said in his interview that he could not learn to tap in a single night. I’m with him. Sure, Gregory Hines is a fabulous black tap dancer, so is Savion Glover, as was Sammy Davis Jr., ‘Bojangles’ Robinson, etc. Arsenio knew he would be compared to them. No way will he tap on TV unless he can be just as good, and no way can he be that good, you have to have danced all your life, duh. She’d just insulted the hell out of him (surprise).
True, I’m sure these folks said what they said but it could be a couple of 5 or 10 min explosions out of a 16 hr. day. I don’t think they will show the teams getting along, having fun, enjoying the working together — makes for boring TV as per TV today. Personally I would love to see more of the tasks being worked up and how they do the writing of scripts. I especially would have loved to see Clay Aiken working with the musicians and even Aubrey — to see how that is done.
I think they pick & choose what they think will make for good TV.
I couldn’t agree more. That’s a size 10 sausage squeezed into a size 8 casing if ever I saw one. I think I like the updates better than the show (I only watch for Clay so this is my 1st and last time). I love the picture captions. The one a few weeks ago with a female exec on the left and Dobby on the right was Superb. Note to Luscious-Clay can sing way better than he’s don on CA. And the “creepy “Invisible song was a hit in the U.K 6 months before Clay came out with his version. Creepy is in the ear of the listener,or the composer, or the producer who made the final song choice.
Wrong team won-certainly, because if Unanimouse had lost, Miss Bobbleboobs would have to have been FIRED!
Your version of the show sounds infinitely preferable to the one they actually air. Personally, I’d love to have seen more stuff like the clip with Arsenio and Clay goofing around on the sofa while Paul Sr. watches them like a doting daddy. Too bad no one will ever be able to convince NBC and/or Trump that’s what viewers want.
And maybe-just maybe-Lisa treats intelligent people she hand-picks with respect like she did Dayana on the 2 occasions she had praise for her. Some people simply do not suffer fools. We do stand-up instead. Or-in my case-sit-down,if I haven’t had enough Vicodin. She didn’t choose these people so she’s not in her element.
“And maybe-just maybe-Lisa treats intelligent people she hand-picks with respect…”
More likely, she’s just a bitch. Intelligent people who tow the line with her and do just what she wants might escape an ass-chewing. Maybe.
Where were you when they were casting She’s All That?
I’m not trying to sound flippant about your being bullied. That sucks. I just like the image of the super hot girl wearing glasses. That’s how Hollywood casts their nerds.
Plus I think Arsenio equates tap dancing (not the skillful kind, but whatever shuffling he’d learn in a day) with “shucking and jiving.” You know, the style popular on minstrel shows. That’s the “societal implications” he was referring to.
I’m a lil suspicious about the editing of the “Monster” scene? Sure, Teresa said, “Monster”, but I’m not entirely convinced it was said in response to the man’s request for an adjective. Especially since the shot (camera angle) was totally different, and changed suddenly from when he asked the question, to when she made the comment. Had it been said at once, they would’ve shown it in one take. But I think they just seamed it together for comic effect.
You sure fooled me if you were not trying to sound flippant.
Oh, Robin, you’ve come back to stir shit up again. Squeee!
I knew it was only a matter of time..
Yeah Robin, cranky has had to carry the load alone– with just a soupçon of NWMTV. Welcome back, now get busy.
I didn’t notice that. Those Frankenbiting bastards…
Boy, that would be really dirty of them. Like she hadn’t made herself look ditzy enough on her own.
Back atcha Sarcassy!
That is the thing. My husband when he met me and saw pictures of me back then did not get why I was considered a social leper and no guys wanted to date me. I guess because all the popular girls would harass them for it. I don’t know. But yeah, you would be surprised how something as stupid as glasses would turn a guy off when HEllo! glasses can be removed! I guess teenage boys are shallow.
That is what I got out of it. Not so much that he thought he could not do it as more of “How dare you ask me to do something that is stereotypical of black men and you are racist blah blah!” I got that he was implying she was being racist. Honestly, I disagree. Tap dancing is for everyone dammit! Also I just get pissed when people pull the “Oh so you think just because I am black I can fill in the blank!” when they were not actually implying that.
But she WAS being racist. The woman had him rapping and drumming, and wanted him to do a shuck & jive shuffle on top of it. If she could have suggested it without risking a punch to the face, you’ve gotta know she would have worked a slice of watermelon into his hand, too.
Flipit, this is what I mean about comments evaporating. Late yesterday, there were over one hundred comments on this recap. Today, at the time of this posting, about 12:15 Eastern, there are seventy-five.
Flipit, never mind. I was mixing this recap up with another one. I had a Dayana moment.
Yeah I’ve seen those Spanx incidents and even captured them, but one can only fit so much into a recap and I’m not sure you can really make those pictures that funny. The fact that having my sausage casings reveal themselves to others at a fancy gathering being one of my worst nightmares may have something to do with me going easy on that…
Whoa, whoa, whoa! How is that a Dayana moment? She has bad ideas but I’ve never seen her pull an old person mistake like that one!
I wonder why if Aubrey is so against bullying she sat there and allowed and encouraged Lisa to bully the hell out of Dayana. On Top Chef Heather was considered a bully and she never swore or called anyone stupid repeatedly and screamed like that. I don’t know how Dayana can just sit there and never attack her back. I can’t believe that Trump lets her go off on Dayana like that. What a witch! Just because Lisa uses that stuff in her act doesn’t mean she should be allowed to use it on people. She is UGLY, UGLY, UGLY, inside and out.
HAHA! you scared me!
I take it back. I had a crankyguy moment. Better? If you guys allowed editing of comments, I could have just taken it down and been spared the painful humiliation.
ha. no need to take back, you nut. and think of how sad this place would be if people could edit their comments! once cooler heads prevailed, the boards would be left with giant blank gaps. kandiscess would only live in our memory, for crying out loud. that can not happen.
Good point. Very good point.
Sigh. About not allowing edits to comments.
LOL @ Daisy!
I didn’t get that Arsenio was implying Aubrey was racist for her suggestion, but I def got that he knew how his tap dancing might be perceived and he’s self aware enough to not delude himself.
Teresa, not so much. She was ready to embarrass herself as a middle aged cheerleader. Aubrey only came up with that idea because she thoughtof herself as sexy in a cheerleading outfit. She could care less if it embarrassed Teresa.
Aubrey knew that if she could talk Arsenio into tap dancing then he would totally suck at it, as anyone would who is not trained. She thought his drumming was passable, so she sabotaged that by moving it from where he wanted it to be. She’s trying to take Arsenio down every chance she gets, even though they are team members.
I want to see Aubrey and Omarosa brought back and put together in a future season. Maybe throw Russell Hantz in there as well.
“I want to see Aubrey and Omarosa brought back and put together in a future season. Maybe throw Russell Hantz in there as well.” Evil, Crank. Pure unadulterated evil. I’ll watch.
haha I feel you. I have nightmares about that too.
I guess we will have to agree to disagree because I don’t think she was being racist there or at least not clearly enough to be sure that is what she was doing. I mean its a musical performance dancing, drumming and rapping all go along with that especially since they were doing a funky beat. She wanted the girls to tap dance too.
hmm if that is true than Aubrey really is an evil genius to the core.
I never left……….
Why anybody thinks Aubrey is brilliant is beyond me. Most of her “creative” ideas make no sense whatsoever, and the rest are stolen from other ad campaigns. Like her concept for the mock-tail party. She stole that from a PomWonderful ad, the one with John Hurt narrating, talking about the Garden of Eden and how some cultures consider the pomegranate the forbidden fruit. And everybody just pretended the little ego monster thought of it herself.
When it comes to evil, however, God damn is she motivated, hard-working, and ingenious.
Why are these comments not showing up in the order that they’re entered?
I’ll watch, too…but only if they’re given weapons.
I hate Aubrey!
Oooh Catty!!!! You’re even eviler than Crank, and that is saying something!
But Sheesh, she speaks so highly of you.
Whooooaaaaaaa
My “I hate Aubrey” comment was supposed to be #97, but it showed up #86!!!! And now I look like a stupiddummyhead.
There is some cyber fuckery afoot.
She never asked me to tap dance.
Cyber fuckery. Bwahahahaha!!!!
Your not being visible makes me nervous Robin.
Just try reading the comments here Stupiddu…. I mean sheesh…. lots of the comments make no sense ’cause they are nowhere near where they should be, causing most of us to look like stupiddummyheads.
Love the fuckery afoot. That ‘splains it.
Dayana has been useless EVERY episode, except when she had her picture taken. Her ideas are just “out there” and unusable. She should have been fired eons ago, even though she seems like a nice girl.
Ooh no Ivanka is smart, funny, HOT, aaaand has a sexy voice. No Dayana mixing, please LOL. Dayana IS stunning, though (but I like Ivanka’s “smarts”).
Is that so…? Hmmmm.
OMG on 30 Rock they just did a Queen of Jordan episode and when Liz Lemon came on screen it said “Lisa Lampenelli?” on the caption thing about her. LOL!
Oh Robin, you know it and you love it.
Um…thanks?
I definitely don’t think Aubrey was being racist when she was suggesting the tap dancing. She’s just dumb and didn’t realize what she was asking. I think she THINKS she can tap dance and was keen to show yet another one of her talents to the world. I don’t think Arsenio thought she was being racist either. He just knew she didn’t know what the connotation could mean for him so he explained it jokingly.
NOW, I for one am SOOOOO glad to see Dayana go, if for nothing more than to get recaps that don’t use the whole thing to make excuses for her clear stupidity. The whole ‘yes she did this but it’s ok because of this or yes she said that, but she probably meant this’ thing was driving me up the wall in this recap. Yes she’s pretty and appears to be sweet, but she’s dumb as a box of rocks and a language barrier has nothing to do with it. I also don’t think she’s that nice. Clearly, everyone who’s been on her team saw a side of her that up until this episode, was never shown to us. So the way she’s portrayed is probably b.s. Her throwing rocks at the bear to provoke it and then the fake cowering back from the ‘mean person’ was blazingly obvious this episode. She says things to get people riled up and then pretends to be innocent. “Clay you need to do it from this side because I’m pm and I’m putting my foot down since you didn’t let me create the song” Clay goes faux gangsta on her “No Clay I was just ASKING. Why are you attacking me” PUHLEASE! I definitely don’t think ‘she finally started playing the game’ when she was blatantly insulting Lisa for a reaction in front of DJ like you said. I’ve seen that happen so many times. She throws out a comment and wait for someone to react or for Donald to take up for her in the boardroom. She’s not innocent & I’m So glad she’s gone!
You’ve shown your disdain for the boardroom portion of the show from the very beginning, but you still took the time to cover at least some of what went down. But the moment your ‘favorite’ gets fired we get nothing? Interesting.
“vaca gorda estupIda” BWAHAHAHAHAHA
@snowshoecat,
LOL Too be perfectly honest, I thought that you meant that my posts were disapearing and weren’t visable at times. I just figured tvg was probably wonky.
Oh well, glad that you can see me.
Robin
Nooooo (gently whispering)…last year’s sponsor was Camping World, not Good Sam.
Sarcastire, Dayana did use that strategy in the BR. She was jumped on by DT and Ivanka – they pointed out that if that were the case, then it was because Dayana was a strong enough leader.
*Was NOT a strong enough leader* durrrrrr…. they went back and forth about this quite a bit.
YES!! Lilsalty, that is exactly who I was thinking of….Paul Adelstein. I also think he resembles the bad guy/dean from The Nutty Professor. Cranky and someone else above named him.
I thought Dayana meant “Pink” as in the singer and “Yellow” as in the ColdPlay song.
I Know it? And I Love it?
Please fill me in concerning what “it” means.
I have already explained to you that I assumed that you were describing a glitch in TVG and my posts weren’t visable for some reason.
Robin
It wasn’t. She said in an interview (and I quote) “My English is not perfect … All I meant is that I wanted it to be more happy. I wanted it to be more bright.” Which is bullshit, because if she can say that sentence in an interview, she could have used it with the musicians. It wouldn’t have made a lot more sense than what she did say, but it would have made some.
Personally, I think Clay & Lisa must have asked the musicians to play a snippet of blues and/or bluegrass for her, and she assumed that meant all color names were musical terms.
She said a lot of things that can’t be attributed to the language barrier, or cultural differences, or even ignorance of the subject matter being discussed. I’m sure all of that was part of it, but in the main, she appears to simply not be a terribly rational thinker.
You could be right that she’s been provoking people all along. I don’t recall seeing much of that, though. Until this episode, it mostly looked like people were hating her for being beautiful. It looked like jealousy.
But I do recall a point early on, in one of the first couple of episodes, when somebody tried to defend her and she put a stop to it, telling them (rather coldly, I thought,) “I already have a mommy and a daddy.” She didn’t want anybody shutting up her “attackers.” She wanted them to dig their own graves with their tongues while she sat by looking poised and put upon. And it worked like a charm. At least up until this episode, when she got a little too blatant about it.
There was always a satisfied little smile on her face whenever Lisa went ballistic. She was gloating because she’d gotten what she’d wanted and been working for, the strategizing little weasel.
Aubmememe is NOT one of the final two. Period. Point blank.
. She is however, a participant on one of the final two teams.
The final two are Clay & Arsenio. Yay!!!!!!!
From your keyboard to God’s monitor, AJ.
Clay IS Frank Sinatra compared to Dayana. He’s been singing all his life & doing it professionally for 10 yrs now. He’s been touring all that time as well. He knows what he’s doing, no matter what you think of his talent or career. And having worked myself with many musical artists of various genres, ages & experience, I can tell you that there isn’t one who wouldn’t have taken offence to Dayana’s day-long disrespect of their expertise. The first Debbie Gibson comment out of her mouth would have set most of them off. I give Clay a lot of credit for having the patience of Job with her. I don’t think getting upset with her at that moment or getting upset with Penn about the thrown away money is any kind of “pattern”.
That was what I was thinking too.
Hey I will say I noticed a Good Sam sticker on someone’s jeep in the Panera parking lot the other day and I was like “So what do you know, it is a real thing!”
SPOILERS! If that is true then the BFFs are going to have to go up against each other and that won’t be a fun board room at all when they will not want to insult one another.
