And we’re back with the second half of Donald’s love affair with seeing himself on TV.
We previously left off just when Debbie Gibson got the boot. So things pick up in the waiting room, where both teams are thinking it is Teresa that will be fired. Dee specifically points out that it will be Teresa because she didn’t bring in Aubrey.
Aubrey goes all female passive aggressive on Dee, which never works with men. But I can totally see the sorority girl in her with her stupid comments of telling Dee it’s okay to say crap to her face rather than behind her back. Umm, he just did say it to your face. Then she says he kisses her ass everyday, which he denies and tells her he’d be happy to say shit to her face.
What’s going on?
Lisa begs Aubrey to not start fighting with the men’s team. Aubrey stomps off, saying Dee is so phony she can’t stand to see his face. Ummm….
Actually, that’s not really true, since Dee isn’t fake at all. I think Aubrey is pissed off because when she asked to join the men’s team, Dee shouted “No!” She was expecting them to embrace her brilliance and adorableness with open arms. Girlfriend has a bruised ego.
Arsenio comes on to tell us Aubrey is the ultimate trouble maker. He’s thanking God he doesn’t have to be on her team.
Famous last words.
When Lisa asks what happened, Dee says out loud that Aubrey is evil and since she’s running out of victims on the women’s team, she’s making her move on the men’s team. How’s that for saying it to your face, Aubrey? Dee tells us in confessional that she’s a vixen who will use her womanly wiles to her advantage. Looks like Dee is right.
Aubrey targets the men’s weakest player.
Teresa and Dayana return from the boardroom and at first Aubrey is delighted to see Teresa but then she realizes that means Debbie is gone. The others are stunned and Lisa surmises she must have killed someone in a former life to still be stuck with the two worthless bitches who returned. Actually, I think it’ all your poison karma in this life that you are feeling, Lisa.
Dayana is smug and tells everyone that the issue was about fundraising and Aubrey’s name was mentioned several times. She says bringing her into the boardroom was a bad decision by the project manager. Teresa gets pissed off and the two get into it.
Clay settles on a couch and asks someone to bring him some popcorn.
Dayana actually wins the argument and shuts up Teresa but this team has completely unraveled. Lisa wonders what it will be like for them on the next task and who will be able to lead them to a victory.
It’s the next day and time for the water works. Dee is presenting his check for the March of Dimes to a couple with a premature baby. I’m holding back the freaking tears so The Professor won’t make fun of me.
If this doesn’t choke you up, you need help.
The teams meet with Sparky inside a gymnasium and he informs the women that since they’ve lost 5 out of seven tasks, he is switching up the teams. He sends Aubrey and Teresa over to the men’s side and pulls Lou, Dee and Penn from the men’s team to support Lisa and Dayana. While I’m sure Clay is thrilled to be rid of Penn, none of the men like the change up.
Arsenio decides a heart attack will be less awful
than having Aubrey on his team.
Trump asks how they feel about the new teams and he starts with his man crush Lou. Lou says since he has been married 31 years, he can tolerate women. Dorkus Amongus is amused that Lou can only tolerate them.
Looks like VampEric is joining us for this task.
Ivanka must be re-elasticizing after a good feed.
Dayana is thrilled with the change up and says if Lisa is upset that they are still on the same team it is too bad for Lisa. I like to see that Dayana is finally getting a spine and starting to look out for herself.
Trump introduces two of the stuffiest, whitest, Ivy leaguest corporate dudes we’ve seen so far. They are from Walgreens and they are starting a new campaign called Walk with Walgreens to get people to walk thirty minutes a day. The teams will have to do a live presentation that promotes the campaign and design the membership kit that goes along with it. Alison Sweeney from The Biggest Loser will be judging along with Corporate out of touch dudes.
Lou will be the team leader for the new Lisa/Dayana team. He’s thrilled that the task involves physical fitness and he thinks the idea of walking connects beautifully with his charity, since the Muscular Dystrophy Foundation is all about walking with heart. Seems a little abstract to me, but maybe he’ll win.
Sparks now has a boner, since his man hunk is taking the lead. He can’t help himself.
Lou, will you do push ups for me?
Aubrey, always wanting to make it about herself and maybe hoping to deflect Trump’s lust onto herself so she can marry well, asks if she can compete with Lou. WTF? She’s in a skin tight black dress and she wants to go against Lou Ferrigno? She’s off her rocker. Sparky grants her permission, so she gets down and starts pumping away. Her form is decent but her head is hanging low. Lou takes a minute to position himself to the best visible advantage and then lays flat down on the floor with his arms out in front of him. What the hell is he doing?
Holy shit, he’s using his triceps!
I’ve never seen a push up like that before. That takes some serious conditioning. Everyone is blown away and one would hope Aubrey is humbled as she does a little scramble of shame to get back to her feet. The judges all declare Lou the winner.
I think Dorkus Amongus just figured out
what his dad has been gushing about.
Dee tells us Lou is going to be 60 on Wednesday. Awesome.
Arsenio will be the team leader for the Aubrey/Teresa mashup and he tells us he’s playing for the Magic Johnson Foundation, but he’s also playing for his cousin who died of AIDS. The winning team will get the usual 20K plus Walgreens is throwing in an additional 30K.
Well, turns out Dayana was right. Lisa is upset that Dayana is still on her team. And now that she has to deal with Lou too, she tells us she is literally in her idea of hell and will have to deal with these idiots for the rest of eternity.
“Thank you, God.”
Do you think Lisa would be more pleasant if she got more sleep? I hate what a bitch she has turned out to be.
Lisa’s team is using the Forte war room, so that shall now be the new name of the team that consists of Lou, Penn, Dee, Lisa and Dayana. Dee asks how they should start and Lisa tells him since their formula has not worked, it would be best to operate the way the guys have been doing it.
Lisa sure does look sleep deprived.
Penn pipes up that he has to leave in the afternoon for a show and won’t be back until the next morning. The execs from Walgreens arrive to explain the task and Lisa says she’s their perfect target audience. The couch potato who doesn’t want to move at all and would rather be wheeled around in a wheelchair all day, even though they aren’t handicapped.
Lou tells the execs that he’s had both knees and both hips replaced and while he was recovering he started walking and realized the great benefits of walking. The execs are polite, but giving them a testimonial isn’t really going to get the job done. Lou says they loved his story, however, and somehow that will translate to them winning the task.
Team Unanimous will now consist of Clay, Arsenio, Paul, Teresa and Aubrey. They are gathered together and Aubrey starts spewing about her creative ideas. She’s seriously going on and on and frankly I think she’s stating the obvious; it has to be bold and bright, it has to catch the eye, it has to make the shopper want to pick it out among all the other items at Walgreens. Finally she stops talking and asks Arsenio what he thinks. He pauses to carefully choose his words then tells her, “I love to hear what the executives are looking for before locking in on an idea.”
The first Aubrey shoot down in history! Yay Arsenio!
Naturally now that Aubrey has had her wings clipped she tells us she isn’t as impressed with Arsenio as she expected to be. When the execs arrive, Aubrey interrupts Arsenio’s questions to steam roll the conversation.
Are you kidding me, bitch?
Arsenio calls her a narcissistic piece of work.
Back at team Forte, Penn is pitching an idea about all the things you can do while walking. I kind of like it; my biggest complaint about working out is that it eats up time I could be doing something else. Amazingly, Lisa likes the idea and is good with rolling with it. I was expecting her to squash it unmercifully. She actually seems delighted with Penn and says he is clearly the smartest person competing and that together she and he will be running the show. Lou not so much.
Lou delegates Dee to direct the design of the box, while he puts Lisa on writing. For himself, he shall be the presenter. Penn argues that the concept is what can you do while walking and one cannot become Mr. Universe while walking. He thinks it would be better to utilize one of the professional speakers they have on their team. Lou tells them that he is the project manager and he will be presenting. I like his conviction but it is so clear this boy is a one trick muscle pony.
One thing I do like, though, is that the men are listening to Dayana’s ideas and Penn even comes on to tell us that he thinks Dayana is a team player and clearly works hard and he’s very happy to have her on his team.
At Unanimous, guess what: Aubrey’s talking. Arsenio suggests a theme of putting a talk show on it’s feet. Brilliant Clay tells them they have to encourage the audience to interact, rather than just watch. He suggests it be a game show instead. Aubrey nearly leaps from her chair jumping on the idea and steamrolling over Clay’s voice.
I’ll bet she’s chalking this one up to her idea now.
Aubrey is now focusing on the packaging design and she’s suggesting the box have each of their faces on it with a quote under it; Paul’s could be “I walk to stay healthy”, Clay “I walk to keep my lungs or whatever, about singing”, Teresa “I walk to whatever, to keep up with my girls”, Aubrey “I walk so I can stay hot”, Arsenio “Arsenio, you could be the person that took a walk away from the industry for awhile.”
Say what???
Aresnio says the girl is ruthless and manipulative and this was clearly meant as a diss. He says he isn’t going to be able to stand working with her much more. The team heads out to Walgreens to get their pictures taken for their box design.
At Walgreens, Aubrey is running the show and taking all the pictures. Arsenio feels like she’s taking pics of him that are too close, but she refuses to let him see the pictures. Who the hell is this girl??? I’m still smarting from her Arsenio jab and I’d like to point out that while these are her contemporary years, I had no idea who she was, which means when she’s a has-been, she’ll also be long forgotten. Can’t say that about Arsenio, bitch. In fact, he’s so legendary you only have to use his first name and most people know who you are talking about.
At Forte, Penn is working on developing a script before he has to go. He’s planning on still doing the talking for all the important presentation stuff, but he’s doing a good job of convincing Lou that he’s the presenter. Penn has to leave and Lisa likens it to watching daddy go off to work. She’s worried how things will go without him.
Next they focus on their box design. Dee wants to concentrate on branding and he’s using the Walgreens logos without “screwing with them”.
Dayana wishes it were a little more creative.
Dorkus Amongus arrives to check on Forte and something funky is going on behind him. I can’t decide if it is a ghost or just his essence of body snatcher leaving a trail behind him. See for yourself:
The Walking Undead?
Today is a good day for Dorkus Amongus and he’s looking hot again. He tells us that Lisa recognizes that she’s still a strong player and if she has to manage Lou to get the win, then maybe a little insubordination is a good thing. Doesn’t sound like he’s got much confidence in Lou.
While DJ is hanging with the Forte team, Dayana is helping Dee with computer issues. DJ surmises she isn’t as useless as it has been claimed.
Dee says he’s impressed with her intellect and maturity.
I had no idea Dayana was only 25. The way she handles all the bitchy cattiness that surrounds her and the fact that she’s never stooped to their level impresses the hell out of me now that I know her age. I thought she was much older based on the way she conducts herself.
Lisa wants to vomit at what she is hearing.
Lisa is a jealous bitch. I got nothing more to add to that. I’m not going to repeat her poisonous spew.
At Unanimous, they are working on their box design. Scratch that. Aubrey is working on her sheer genius concept and everyone else watches. When they get to the picture of Arsenio, he tells her he wants her to use the other picture, but she refuses. Refuses! Whatever happened to being a team player and respecting your project manager?
“Sorry Arsenio, but if you hate the picture you hate yourself.
‘Cause that’s what you look like. Those wrinkles are really there.”
Clay says he’s uncomfortable with how much Aubrey is taking over and doing things without approval. VampEric arrives to check on their progress and even though Aubrey was over working on the box while the team was sitting around a table with Vamp, Aubrey abandons her post and takes a seat at the table and immediately takes over the conversation. No one says anything and after a minute she says, “Sorry. Am I taking over?” She always expects people to give her permission to lead on at points like this, but instead Arsenio says “yes.” They cut it to appear to be very awkward after she leaves the table and returns to the computer, but I bet that wasn’t really how it was. I hope she feels like her wrist was slapped, though.
I wonder if Aubrey blood will sing in my veins.
By the way, look at the background behind VampEric. This team is a bunch of slobs!
At team Forte, they are riding in a van and they have decided their slogan is “Walk and do it all”. Lisa then suggests they have words in gray in the background that depict all the things you can be doing while you are walking. Dee is throwing out words like flirting and dating but then he starts saying scratching and itching and yelling and insulting. Dayana hates the idea, she feels like the words are too negative and will confuse the idea they are trying to project.
But she’s learned her lesson about interrupting Lisa.
They are now at their stage and rehearsing. Lisa is running the show, but sadly it is very apparent that she has to. Both Lou and Dayana would be going out into left field if she wasn’t reigning them in. I recognize that she really does have the weight of the job on her shoulders, but she doesn’t need to be such a bitch about it. I can’t believe she turns to the camera and whispers so Lou won’t hear,
“It’s going to be so sad when Lou goes home tomorrow.”
Bitch! You just keep creating your own karmic hell.
At Unanimous, everything is a struggle with Aubrey. She wants everyone to use the quotes she’s written for them, but Arsenio is arguing as he wants to use his own words. She’s always saying Dayana is disruptive but she keeps interrupting any conversation she isn’t involved in. While the other teammates are reviewing what they will be saying in the game show, Aubrey asks Clay to come over and approve his photo. When Arsenio goes to check his out, it still isn’t the photo he wants to use. Aubrey absolutely refuses to use his photo because she says it is not in-line with the others. I see her point, but Arsenio is also right that as the game show host, it would make sense that he has a different head shot than the contestants. Then again, the sign behind him in the picture he wants to use says “eat right” so that could create confusion with the walking concept.
Clay tells us Aubrey makes sure everyone approves her work and that she does nothing better than she does cover her own ass. Unbelievably, at some point Aubrey outright asks if the men are happy to have her and Teresa on their team.
I think Aubrey is incredibly passive-aggressive and
preys on the politeness of others.
It’s late evening and at team Forte, Lisa is in hell. She has managed to convince the team that Dayana shouldn’t be in a two piece for the presentation. Dayana informed Lisa that all she wears are thongs, which I’m sure fries Lisa’s big ass. Luckily, a store is found that is still open and has bathing suits so Lou and Dayana head off to find her a modest one piece to wear for the presentation.
Lisa tells Dee she can’t take it anymore.
She tries to persuade Dee to see that Dayana is worthless and stupid. Dee can’t believe she’s trying to talk to him about feelings and not only that, he doesn’t see what she is talking about. He gently tries to tell her that in recent years he’s decided it is better to be less vicious. I think he’s actually talking about her and I’m loving him right about now. Lisa’s behavior is the mark of a desperate person trying to undermine people because she doesn’t have an honest foot to stand on.
It’s now the day of the presentations and Penn has arrived after taking an overnight flight. According to Dee, Penn is operating on just one hour of sleep. They start their set up and rehearsal.
Their signage is horrible!
It’s time for the presentation. Lou comes out and delivers an excellent motivational story about his knee and hip replacements and how he had to learn to walk again. Lisa even admits he did a great job and she’s proud that he stuck to the script.
The presentation is going great. Penn is funny and Dayana is adorable. They are getting laughs. But then poor Penn on his one of our sleep accidentally says Walk with Walmart.
The judges wince.
It seems like things are a little bit tense. Penn realizes his mistake and starts shouting Walgreens! Walgreens! Suddenly, Dayana literally bounces on stage and asks in a ditzy voice if she should pass Penn her crown. The crowd bursts out laughing and the seriousness of the situation is diffused. Dyana literally saved the presentation.
There can’t be any way she gets called back tonight!
It seems like Forte nailed this presentation. It was funny, educational, interactive and fun. The judges seem to love it as the team takes their final bows. But then the team leaves the stage and the judges start examining their set design. Alison Sweeney is confused about the itching, yelling and scratching words in the background of their banner. Ruh roh.
Unanimous is up next and Clay is great as the game show announcer. Arsenio revs up the crowd and makes them do his signature arm pump while shouting “Walk with Walgreens!” They hand out t-shirts which I guess make the crowd each part of a team for the game show. But the game show is kind of a dud. There are no categories on the questions, clearly spinning the wheel has no bearing on what Arsenio will ask the contestants (who are Paul, Teresa and Aubrey). They answers questions, but do they win anything? How is it a game? And I don’t really see how the audience is interacting. But the crowd looks like they like it.
Aubrey tries to use mental telepathy to
inform the crowd she designed the box.
Arsenio tells us he’s proud of the work they did and of his job as project manager. His hardest task was managing Aubrey. He’s hoping they will win but he says he will be a caged tiger in the boardroom fighting for that check.
The judges like the box but feel like the Unanimous presentation was intensely fact based and not really spelled out. They decide they have a tough decision ahead of them and head off to talk to Sparky.
Boardroom Time Part 2:
Sparks asks Lou how they did and Lou says he thinks they won. Lisa doesn’t think Lou was the best project manager and explains to the old man that there were no assignments, people just took it upon themselves to make the show work. Lisa says Lou isn’t tough enough to manage but Donald interrupts and disagrees. He asks Penn if he agrees with Lisa and Penn takes the opportunity to wiggle out of an answer by saying he wasn’t there for most of the prep time. Stupid Sparky proposes they fire Penn because he wasn’t around.
Since when is it an offense when career calls? I’ve seen Cyndi Lauper disappear from a task because of another engagement in a previous season and just this season, Sparks gave Adam Carolla a pass to host a freaking wedding. Hypocrite!
Lisa and Dee come to Penn’s defense and Sparky backs off.
Trump turns to the Unanimous team and a discussion of having the ladies on their team leads to a conversation about having to manage Aubrey. Arsenio does a great job of talking about not wanting to shut down her ideas but having to customize managing to handle her mile a minute style. He points out that other players don’t operate like that. His example is that Paul will sit quietly and listen and then say one word, but that word is a nugget of gold. Clay says Aubrey’s refusal to obey her project manager can be harmful. Sparky agrees.
The Trump prodigies are asked to show the opposing team the box designs and they are tossed over.
Aubrey examines the box and tosses it away in disgust
instead of sharing it with her team mates.
Forte is alarmed at how good the Unanimous box is. Clay tells Trump the Forte box is boring. Lisa says the design is very impressive and the quotes are adorable. Aubrey leans over and pipes in that the quotes were written by her and asks Lisa if she’s proud of her.
“There she goes again, putting the i in team.”
Arsenio is pissed that she’s saying she wrote all the quotes when she didn’t. She tries to manipulate the conversation by first acting confused and then saying she was just trying to tell Lisa how great she did and finally pointing out all the ones she did write. But Arsenio is right, her blanket statement was that she wrote them all, so Arsenio wins the round and manages to shut her up!
What is with these women and their horrible painted eyebrows???
Arsenio points out how Aubrey tossed the box away from the team instead of passing it on to others. He says it illustrates how her whole personality is all about her. Trump agrees and says he has seen that too.
VampEric informs Unanimous that the execs loved the concept and the box but didn’t care for all the facts and figures. He tells them that no one was motivated to go out and walk after the presentation.
When Sparks asks Aubrey who came up with the concept, she can’t remember. This pisses Arsenio off even more, since she is sure to shout to the rooftops when it is her idea. He tells Trump that it is really hard to massage her self-centered ego and work her within a team, instead of just letting her steamroll everything. Trump says he has a lot of respect for Clay and asks if he feels the same way. Clay agrees whole heartedly. He says it was a lot of work massaging Aubrey into the group.
Aubrey starts welling up tears but her defense is to turn to Teresa and say, “Teresa, as far as me being a team player, have I taught you everything you ever asked?”
My God, the Aubradacity! She has no idea how pompous she sounds, and how insulting it is to say that to another grown women with more experience. Even Trump calls her out on that one. She’s wiping away the tears now and Trump tells her to stop crying.
Sparky asks Aubrey if she likes Arsenio and she says not after what she’s hearing. Arsenio points out that’s because he would have to kiss her ass to have her like him.
The general consensus is that if Arsenio’s team loses Aubrey will be fired. Sparky seems to agree and it looks like he’s already made up his mind who he would fire if they lost. Trump warns Aubrey that people like her often burn and crash and go down with the dogs. He tells her to be very careful.
Dorkus Amongus tells Sparky that for team Forte, the execs loved Lou’s testimonial. They hated that Penn said Walmart instead of Walgreens. Penn owns up and admits he was running on one hour of sleep and didn’t even realize when he did it. DJ also tells them that the execs did not like all the words in the signage that mentioned negative things like yelling, itching and scratching. When asked who’s idea it was, I am surprised when Dee raises his hand. It was Lisa’s idea, although he helped feed her the words. Seems to me like he’s taking a bullet for Lisa.
Finally, Sparky puts everyone out of their misery and tells them all that Unanimous won.
Arsenio gets all choked up and starts crying. He’s completely overwhelmed as he is doing this for the Magic Johnson Foundation but also for his cousin who recently died of AIDS. It’s pretty touching how emotional he is right now and Trump is giving him boat loads of props.
Unanimous exits the board room and Aubrey brushes off Teresa’s attempts to console her. Aubrey marches away and gets into the elevator!
Is this the last we will see of our diabolical genius?
Of course not. Although she comes on in testimonial and says she doesn’t want to work anymore with all the negativity and ugliness (ummmm an evironment she created) and she’s not sure this is the right place for her. Bullshit! She won’t quit – she’s too ambitious for that. She’s just not used to being told she isn’t the yummiest set of pajamas on the shelf and she’s slinking off to lick her wounds. Grow up and get over your dramatic self, brat!
Back in the board room, Lou says he is surprised and he doesn’t see how they could have done any better. Remember those words. Lou says he shouldn’t be fired just because he was project manager. Once again he informs us all that he gave 110%. Maybe what he needs to give is 125%. He says he made it to all the rehearsals and he was on stage and he kept the mood of the team. That isn’t really what project managing is about. Why can’t Trump get that Lou doesn’t know this?
VampEric finally senses the weakness and asks Lou if it was a good idea to say they couldn’t have done any better, since they lost. Lou does a song and dance and says the one who didn’t give 110% is Dee. I love that Dorkus Amongus asked, “Who didn’t give 110%, if that’s even mathematically possible?”
Lou claims Dee was trying to take over and was constantly wooing Dayana. WTF? Did we miss some footage?
Lisa says she would bring back Dayana (of course) and Lou to the boardroom. She says their 110% is her 50%. Can we please ditch the 110% thing? Trump says that means Lisa thinks she’s superior to Lou and Dayana. She denies it, but Trump sticks the best dagger in her side by saying in some ways Dayana is superior to her. HAHAHA!
Trump asks his man hunk who he will bring back to the board room and Lou names Dayana and either Penn or Dee. Why would he name Dayana? Does no one remember she saved the presentation? Then Lou decides it will be Dee who comes back. I think he’s nuts. Penn made a major mistake saying the wrong name of the company – that could be totally exploited. Lou’s not a thinker on his feet.
In Unanimous’ war room, they still don’t know where Aubrey is. Arenio is still emotional. He’s trying to let things go, but he can’t quite reign it in. He’s still ranting about Aubrey and her arrogance. The more he talks the more he gets worked up.
“Why don’t you punch me in the face and ask Teresa how it feels?”
He’s having a one sided argument with Aubrey and it is starting to alarm his teammates. Teresa says he looks like a wildcard now and she’s shocked at his ranting. She’s right that Arsenio seemed really sweet and now he’s spouting some serious rage. He predicts Trump would never let her “stank ass” represent The Apprentice.
Arsenio then starts talking about how when he googled Teresa to find out about her, he learned about her show, her culinary pursuits and her fashion background. When he googled Aubrey he found a naked picture of her with a gun. Let me try:
I can see what he means.
Teresa wonders how they will be able to move forward from this.
In the lobby, Lou is talking to Amanda. She says she’s seen a lot of things out there. Dee is pissed that Lou said he didn’t give 110%. Someone please fire Lou so we can all stop saying that.
What do you think she does with her
scratch pad and gold scissors all day?
Dayana, Dee and Lou return to the board room and Trump asks our beauty why people keep calling her back. Dee backs up Dayana when she says she pitched in as best she could and worked hard. Lou says he shouldn’t be fired because he did the best he could. I think that reason alone should get him fired. Dee starts mentioning how Lou didn’t write or produce but simply approved. Lou approved the writing. Lou approved the design concept. Lou approved the box.
Not the box! Don’t talk about the box, Dee!
Ah, shit. Now they’re talking about branding and the box design. Dammit, Dee! He tries to argue that he had the lead on the design but Lou oversaw and approved everything. Dee tells the Trumps that if Lou didn’t have a writer he’d be hamstrung because he can’t create. He goes on to confess that the men’s team used to have “Lou whisperer’s”, that is, people who could work with Lou and understand he has a limitation. According to Dee the Lou Whisperer’s were Clay, Arsenio and Dee.
Luckily the mention of Arenio distracts Sparky and he goes off again on how awesome Arsenio was. Trump says there is no reason for Dayana to be there and that Lou should have brought Penn back to the board room. I think this would have been Penn’s last stand if he had come back. Dee tries to explain that Lou is a one note horn and all he can do is perform. Dee points out that he has yet to do performance which is his strongest element, but he’s still pitching in and working hard for his team.
Trump points out to Dee that he has a crush on Lou so how dumb is it for Dee to think he would ever fire his beloved boy toy?
I can’t fire the two people I fantasize about, Dee.
So I’m sorry. You’re fired.
Dammit! Not only does it suck that Lou wasn’t sent home, as he should have been. It also sucks because Dee was awesome and I really liked him. Not to mention he was my pick to win the whole thing. But if we think about it, Dee has already won a huge amount for his charity. And since Lou also won a ton of money for his charity already, I think this whole thing was rigged so that a new charity could get some of the money. Who knows who really won that task – that wasn’t how they decided the winning team.
Rock on, Dee Snider. We’ll miss you!
Dee exits with grace and says good-bye to both Dayana and Lou. That is more than I can say for Debbie who refused to shake hands with Teresa after their board room disaster.
You are a super cool dude, sir.
So what do you all think about this week’s episode? I guess I’m now going to pick Clay Aiken to take the title, although Lisa is a serious fighter.
See you all next week.

Spot on review as always! How you can capture the essence of this show in a handful of paragraphs and well placed captions is freakin amazing.
Although most were hoping Red was gone for good, she has tweeted she is still around. Patoooey.
Agree with you – Clay Aiken for the win!
I hope Lisa doesn’t win! That will be about as bad as when Joan Rivers won! The nastiest and cattiest player winning? No thank you.
J’adore you screen grab of Team Aubrey. She looks like a Botticelli Madonna with that halo behind her. *giggle* I’m certain her team members see her like that.
Lisa doesn’t make final two, so she can’t win.
Clay Aiken will win this thing. Mark my words. He’s got it in the bag.
I think there was another person with Don Jr and the person was airbrushed out of the shot. Apparently they chose not to pay for good airbrushing.
May I just say I love Dee Snyder? Seeing him holding the tiny girl was so sweet. My nephew was a preemie in 1980, and it is so hard to watch babies that tiny struggle to live. Dee certainly should not have been sent packing, and I will miss him terribly. Should have been Penn for the sole reason of calling the company by the wrong name. BIG mistake.
Aubrey’s attempt to snuggle Lou was funny…because he was so obviously ignoring her. And she has spent far too much time with Lisa. Neither one wants to let anyone else speak, and all they do is insult people. SHUT THEM UP ALREADY. Also stop crying every time you don’t get your way or someone calls you on your hideous behavior and attitude. She has the emotional maturity of a three year-old. And she won’t stay gone (mores the pity.) She enjoys the attention too much.
I don’t understand the Aubrey picture. Holding a basketball with green paint splashed over her ass. What does that mean?
I have been thinking about this show waaaaaay too much. Of course Dee had to go. He’s competent, likeable, a team player and all around nice guy. Baaad for drama, i.e. reality tv. If that pic of Dee with the baby wasn’t enough to clinch it for him– oh wait. It’s all up to the Trumps.
Dayana is probably second.
Just saw a promo for a VH1 series, Styled by June in which our beloved ARGGGHHHbrey gets a makeover. Only watched a few seconds, but Her Aubreyness walks in looking like she was being attacked by a very small polar bear.
Boo Hoo for Dee being sent home. I’m beginning to think it’s all about who the PM chooses 2 go home. I think Michelle Wide Eye Bachman was photoshopped from the pic with Dorkus. Perhaps she and Sparky have had a tiff. Tawdry O’Bray will have to be drug kicking & screaming from this show. How else is she going to “show” her creativity, intellect, and boobs?
I am really going to enjoy Lisa getting fired.
I am also very happy that March of Dimes got all that money. I am very picky about which charities I support and MOD is one of them. I also had two preemies. Many of my friends had preemies that did extensive NICU time. I know a lot of people with twins, triplets, quads. Those precious little babies deserve every dime. Good job Dee! Sad to see you go.
I thought Arsenio said when he googled Aubrey he saw a naked picture of her with a gut. A gun would turn Sparky on, his two offspring for sure, a gut not so much.
That is what I heard too “gut” which is why I said Arsenio was out of line.
No, I’m pretty sure he said gun. He raised his arms over his head as he said it, like one would sometimes do when proudly displaying a gun. Also, there are gross images of Aubrey licking a gun on the web. I have yet to find an image of Aubrey with a gut – I’ll give her that.
I thought it was Aubrey’s ego, seemed about the right size.
Oh, there are def some pudgy pics of her out there. Once she showed up to a red carpet event in a white bikini that was tres unflattering.
I thought he said “gut”, too. Kinda why I laughed so hard when I heard it. *hangs head*
The thing about Aubrey is she is incredibly self absorbed and vapid, and is a complete twit if she really did quit. I can’t stand quitters.
However, Arsenio needs to calm the hell down. Aubrey was right about the one thing. And that was the photo for the box. It would look really stupid for Arsenio to be doing his side profile yearbook photo while the rest faced head on. If he didn’t like it he should have had all the photos in the same pose as him since he’s so insecure about what walgreens will think of his ugly mug. Aubrey, Paul, and Clay are all ugly as sin but none of them complained about it.
Also Seeing someone flip out on Aubrey was awesome, but bittersweet. As Arsenio was going into full blown rage mode. Aub is a drama queen who has to talk over others, but considering she barely yelled back and just cried to play the victim, it just wasn’t fun to watch. By crying like a ho and leaving the game, she won the argument by not letting the trump eventually fire her.
And then the blow up in the waiting room? When aub wasn’t even there? What was the point of all that? Now your team mates are scared and you just showed you let Aub get to you. Arsenio went in to the team switch with his defenses up and his ego bruised without so much as a look from aubrey. He was ready and looking for a fight. And ended up looking like a tool after two blow up, while still winning the challenge and having aub walk out of the competition so she can have the last laugh. ugh.
Now that Aub’s gone I’d like to see arsenio and lou go home (Dee is completely right about the probelm with Lou) and then clay, dayana, and paul.
Closed captioning also said “gut”, however, after watching his mouth in slow mo I went to my computer, and sure enough there is a picture of a half naked Aubrey that pops up with a GUN. Sigh.
BTW if this repeats I apologize. Can’t tell if it went through and I have to say something: I like Clay AND Penn (although the former more so than the latter), and as someone pointed out earlier they both have good and not-so-good qualities.
Lisa is one scary bitch, but SOME of the bile she spews about Dayana I think is completely warranted. Dayana is NOT as useful as she thinks she is. But not quiiiite as useLESS as Lisa believes. She’s somewhere in the middle (and I do believe she is a secretly disguised manipulator in some ways).
Aww, poor widdle Aubwee – didn’t have her widdle Wisa to pwotect her. She’ll cwy herself to sleep tonight.
I 110% (like what I did there?) agree with you about Aub’s comments about Arsenio – I have no idea who that broad is and she’s supposedly the “now and wow” yet I’m not sure I know a person over the age of 10 that doesn’t know Arsenio. I don’t know very many people, but I stand by my statement. =)
We all knew Penn wasn’t getting fired for saying the wrong name, right Ms. Aubrey “Buick Verona” Whateveryourlastnameis?
It’s a shame that Dee got fired. It didn’t feel like he fought it much. I wonder if at some point the sane celebrities say “screw this – I have better things to do” and not so much give up, but just don’t get sucked into the Web of Fabricated Drama (brought to you by Trumpie and his Trumplets) and argue for the sake of arguing. Yeah, it looks like you quit on your charity, but a lot of those folks can afford to donate the prize amount on their own. I know that’s what I would do because I’d get pretty fed up with the circus pretty quick.
I agree, it really should not have been Dee leaving the show. Unfortunately with his broken hand, Dee didn’t have a opportunity to really shine. He won for his charity before he left though so good for him.
Trump has his favorites and you can see the handwriting on the wall. If Aubrey had been brought back to the boardroom Trump would have found a reason to fire someone else because Aubrey brings the drama every week. For some reason Trump likes Lou. Trump has also shown a preference for Arsenio–complementing him on something on just about every show.
After Adam exposed the huge amount of editing to slant the story as they want, it’s obvious the show is edited for the drama. They knew before the editing which team would win and who was going home so it’s important the producers try to choose footage to support those choices–or stir up controversy whichever the case may be.
The Aubrey picture shows her support for the Boston Celtics. Apparently she bleeds green. haha
That was how I felt about it too.
Okay, Teresa just pissed me off when she was clutching her pearls at Arsenio’s outburst like she was so scared. Bitch, please. I watch your show. Not only have you flipped a table, your gorilla beast of a husband had a fight with your brother at your nephews christening and it turned into an all out brawl! Yes, it was shown of Tv..fists flying, Teresa screeching, and their dad about to keel over with a heart attack. Mind you, her daughter was crying trying to pull her away before the fight started. But, nah. Teresa aint scared o’ no conflict.
Bitch get on network TV and try to ack all brand new.
I was just reading Twitter & Aiken made a joke about O’Day & she rather petulantly said that he was talking behind her back (Whoa – pot meet kettle!) & he replied that no, he’d said it all to her face. Then their fans started tweeting insults to the other & Aiken told his fans to back off as it was just TV. O’Day, on the other hand, spent the night re-tweeting every insult her fans wrote about Hall & Aiken. Kind of tells you a lot about them & which one needs to learn a lot about maturity & class.
I can’t stand Aubry, Lisa , Pen oh and Lou. I loved Dee. This show is sooo scripted..
.Aubry is pathatic and a nobody …she and Lisa are so jealous of Dayana-. Dayana is such a beautiful person inside and out ..and only 25..where as Aubry is her age but looks like a 40 yr. old slut! All dried up!! She even makes Teresa look almost angelic..and Teresa is pretty hard looking too.
And Trumps blonde son Eric..looks like he is out of a Twilight Movie..I could see him with Aubry..they both look super unnatural!!!
PS Aubry needs to work out some of her hatful frustration ..she is getting awful pudgy for a 26 yr. old
I loved it when Don asked her if she had a boyfriend..knowing no real man would stick around her for longer than a night!!!Do you think he did that as a put down?
Aubrey is Aubrey. She even accused Dee of talking behind her back and kissing her ass in the same sentence. She is ridiculous, and apparently uses conflict intentionally to keep her name on people’s minds.
Lisa and Aubrey are poisonous and pathetic, they spew bile and suck every ounce of joy out of the world around the. Fire them now, please. I admire Diana for putting up such ridiculous crap.
You are just intimidated by strong, powerful, successful women.
Just kidding, but I have seen that charge leveled, many times, at people who have criticized Aubrey or Lisa’s behavior.
Arsenio had a good point in the boardroom, calling Aubrey out on her blanket statement “I made all the quotes!!”, and he should have. Had she simply said “Arsenio did his own quote, which was good, and I did the others” I dont think there would have been a blowup. But wait, this is Aubrey so that wasn’t going to happen. Arsenio going crazy in the war-room was just him blowing off steam, nothing more. And might I add I am loving Arsenio!
Adam Carolla talks mad shit about Aubrey in his podcast. HIs description so far has been pretty accurate. He says it’s about Aubrey, all the time in the boardroom. Now I can see what he’s talking about. I DO think Aubrey is pretty talented, energetic, and a real go-getter but her delivery and aftermath is so horrible.
Lou totally should have been fired. Dee made the box, which sucked BUT he got approval from project manager, so of course he wasnt going to change it. He’s jsut doing what the project manager said. Which, hasnt that been the argument with everyone all along? (i.e. do what the project manager says and don’t do your own thing) isn’t that why Patricia got fired..for the exact same reason? (doing the horrible crystal light sign without premission) ugh
Once again, I feel like I’m watching a different show than you people. I absolutely do not see why Aubrey is getting such harsh criticism from you guys & Clay’s bitchy, disrespectful, petty comments are being applauded. The difference between them is that Aubrey is snarky & Clay is a mean-girl bitch, but that seems to go unnoticed here. I find it really ridiculous and a bit annoying that people are bashing Aubrey for being a strong player while the men on the show are out and out disrespecting, not only a woman, but a much younger woman because they feel threatened by her, but to each it’s own I guess. We all have our opinions and we are entitled to them. I am POSITIVE that you guys disagree with me so que sera sera. But I will say this, most of the harsher Aubrey bashing comments are being made by people that I have never seen comment on the Gasm before, so methinks we have some Clayhags, er sorry ‘Claymates’ that have found their way here and are turning the Aubrey hate up a few notches because their master is intimidated by her. Soooo, that’s saying something & tells me that my true Gasmi fam aren’t as cruel as some. Let me just end this with what I wrote in the 1st half recap:
I was a huge fan of his because I think he has an AMAZING voice, but this show is showing his ugly side & it’s as ugly as his new face & ridic hair style. I was turned off as soon as his bitchy comments started coming out of nowhere & the remark he made about Aubrey, whether you like her or not, was completely disrespectful & the way she has been treated by the men on this show is repulsive. They see her as a threat & are using every weakness they know she has to undermine her and make her look bad. Regardless of your opinion of her, let’s face it, the girl is rocking this competition & imo, therein lies the problem that they have with her. She snarks about people in her interviews, but I’ve never seen her be outright disrespectful to anyone’s face. She’s been short with people & fights in the boardroom but she’s not mean to them like they are to her. I do believe we aren’t seeing a lot & she’s probably a bit much to take in person, but maybe if Arsenio would have expressed his frustrations with her during the task, I’m sure she would’ve backed off (a la the Tia task where she got the picture that Tia didn’t want her opinion so she resorted to talking to the camera & slipping her ideas through Lisa while she sat quietly and did what she was told) . Instead he was making little jabs here and there but agreeing with & using her ideas & he waited until the boardroom to pounce for no reason. You could tell she was completely blindsided and probably thought they felt she was doing a good job because that’s what her team kept telling her. I just hated the whole thing. It was beyond inappropriate & I have lost alot of respect for him.
The people that rub me the wrong way are Aubrey, Lisa, Clay, and Lou. Except for Lou, they are all smart. I can only guess why you admire Aubrey so much, so my guess is that you really, really want to see a sassy young woman kick all the guys’ asses and after she’s done with that, kick the asses of any women older than her–Girl Power. Clay and Lou are obnoxious whiners, but Aubrey and Lisa appear to be much more ruthless, the sort who will step on, use, and then discard anybody in the way of what they want, and then rub it in the faces of those who have been conquered.
Ouch, Cranks! You make Aubrey and Lisa sound like… top business executives. Like, maybe, The Donald?
Disagree with you about Lou. I don’t think that he isn’t smart. I just think that, like many body-builders, he has developed brawn over brain.
Either way, in spite of our dislike, Aubrey and Lou will be kept on until the bitter end. The Donald has a crush on both.
Oh, and FancyFeast– er, fancyface, I agree that there are Claymations stuffing the Gasmi ballot box with fanluv. But That doesn’t ‘splain the mean spirited comments to and about other recappers lately. The Gasmii are quite polite.
Not sure that I said I ‘admired’ Aubrey but I guess you could maybe gleen (? did I just make that word up? it kinda sounds right though lol) that from my comment, but I actually don’t have an opinion one way or another when to it comes to her as a person. I do, however, think she’s a good player. My problem is with the way she’s being treated by the men on the show. It has nothing to do with the fact that she’s a woman or her age, but the lack of respect period. I just pointed out the fact that she’s a younger woman that was being SHOUTED at by a much older, experienced man who should’ve handled himself differently in my opinion. I would have the same opinion if it was anyone else as well. I just don’t like the things they say about her or the way she’s treated. ALOT of women in the ‘entertainment’ business take racy photos for one reason or another & she shouldn’t have been basically called a whore that’s only known for getting naked nor was it ok for Clay to say she came out stripping from birth. I think intelligent men could have a better way to disparage someone they have a negative opinion of then the way Clay & Arsenio talks about Aubrey. Her little vapid butt got in Dee’s face for no reason & he held his ground with her without being disrespectful and they could take some lessons from him. Aubrey being who she is has nothing to do with why I don’t like how she’s being treated on this show.
Touche snowshoe cat
BTW, what comments are you referring to. Did I miss something? Am I out of the loop? DISH Kitty Kat!
“Glean.” It’s an agriculture word that you have, indeed, used correctly. All of you may now carry on with this thread. This AWESOME thread which is making me want to WATCH this stupid show.
You make Aubrey and Lisa sound like… top business executives.
Yeah, I guess I did. I would not want either of them or Trump for a boss. Lisa is the top female comic, so I guess whatever she’s doing is working out for her. Aubrey is very, very hungry for fame and success, but I predict she’s at her peak, or all least that’s what I hope.,
Well, fancyfree, er fancyface, Vallegirl had the audacity to say that the latest epi of Person of Interest was awful, and then she proceeded to support her thesis in her minicap.
People who are obvs unaware of how Gasmii operate ripped her to shreds. Personally. You have to read it for yourself to believe how nasty some people can be. And they aren’t, as far as my rather limited experience can tell, long time Gasmii.
It’s bad enough when Gasmii tear one another apart (which seldom happens, and not among true Gasmii), but to be so terrible to a recapper for being honest is unforgivable. Especially to a longtime and respected one like Vallegirl.
Don’t like a recap? Don’t read it anymore.
At the risk of receiving a tonsillectomy from fans, Aubrey may be past her peak. But she is very, very hungry.
Spare me from bosses like those.
Okay, I’m making too many comments in a row, but Maryedith just helped a Gasmi out with a word choice that was causing trouble for the poster. She did it politely, helpfully and completely without a know-it-all ‘tude.
Now that’s a classy Gasmi. And proved my point.
Pee ess, fancyface, your confusion over whether or not it was right was sweet.
@SSC: Aww. Trying to protect the Gasmii regulars. Very commendable. I have witnessed some nasty, unnecessary squabbles, as well, and it’s not pretty OR Gasmii-like.
I’m about to go read the Person Of Interest ‘cap and comments to see what was done there (I don’t watch the show but I wish I had started…it looks pretty damn interesting).
I don’t believe in EVER attacking the recappers, however, even the regulars have the right to disagree in a polite, civil manner. I’m guessing that wasn’t the case there, though.
Off to check it out, and thanks for the head’s up on “Reprehensible Recapper-Attack Rage”, LOL.
Oh, and just one more thing…you are absolutely correct about no longer reading recaps you don’t like (IF it’s an established recapper, that is – brand new ones that obviously abhor the show and their new job should be, politely, told how one feels).
For example, although I adore RHOBH and its FABulous recapper (HI, Flipit!), I won’t read the recaps anymore because I think Taylor Armstrong has had enough abuse in her life. So I simply stay away. Problem solved
Aw, snowshoecat, that’s so nice! I couldn’t help jumping in because I know that feeling of “is this a word?” and I was so hoping no one would take it the wrong way!
Thanks Mary
I actually use that word all the time so I knew it was the correct word to use but for some reason I had a little brain freeze there. I think it was because I was unsure of it was spelled gleen or glean & then thought it could also be gleam so…um…yeah. But again thank you because I thought someone who didn’t agree with my opinion would pounce on that with vengeance but you handled it beautifully before they could lol
Amy, I’m not really teeing to protect anybody (I’m not that strong– or brave– or anything) I just want newcomers to realize that we are just a group of fun-lovers and not to get nasty. Gasmii just wanna have fun.
Agreed! I had the very same issue with the new Teen Mom recapper because I found her recaps bland and felt she was skipping over alot and was psychoanalyzing the girls instead of relaying what was actually happening on the show & they were lacking the snark we here at the Gasm love. Well, I jokingly agreed with another poster who had the same opinion & I was pounced on because of it. I don’t like the commenters who feel like you should never be able to voice your dissatisfaction with a recapper & then turn ugly defending them, but I definitely don’t agree with someone actually attacking a recapper personally because they don’t like what she has to say. I tend to make a comment about what I thought about the recaps and if they didn’t get better, in my opinion, I just stop reading them. Simple pimple! But the crew over on the POI comments got nasty with their disdain. Saying a person they’ve never met was miserable & probably had no life was beyond disgusting & over the line. Besides, the only people who can tell a recapper to get a life, call them a child abuser or a pedophile, or other adorable things like that are crazy pageant moms who name their kids phonetically challenged stripper names who don’t like what was being said about their STAH! Otherwise, we don’t take that crap here at the Gasm! Mad pageant moms are expected to be assholes (in fact we welcome them & salivate over the comment wars when they show up), but personally attacking ValleyGirl like that was NOT ok.
Yup. I totally vet it. I think the whole Gasm knows The Biggest Loser equals recapper death, but when one was found not too long ago it turns out she had never watched the show, despised it, and even went so far as to flat out say sleep apnea in fat people was no big deal – get over it, and by the way she was not fat and the “loosers” on the show were pigs. Sigh.
I tried very hard to be nice in my reply, and I think I achieved that. Others also were not happy with her recap and said so, but I don’t thiiiink anyone was out and out nasty (hard to recall). We just expressed our opinions. And of course there went the recapper LOL.
Has anybody else out there noticed how Lou’s ears TWITCH? He’s got a facial tic thing going. It’s a progression that starts with his upper lip pulling into a quick sneer and ends with his ears twitching. It’s facinating to watch. But it’s kinda distracting. Hard to track what he’s saying while waiting to see his ear cartilage start dancing like popcorn.
Aiken is the same classy dude that was fortunate enough to be asked to co-host with a veteren of tv and show biz in general for most of her life and decided it was his place to cover her mouth as she was speaking. He overstepped his bounds by disrespecting her on her own show.
Immediately upon a hand covering her mouth the TS Host said “Stop that, I don’t know where your hands have been”.
Good ole Clay wasn’t happy a bit. He proceeded to get all the folks in Hollywood in an uproar because he is a big celebrity. Not really, he got Rosie O’Donnel involved and she will bitch about a stale loaf of bread so it wasn’t that effective. Especially after The TS Host called into the View while Rosie was hosting and said she lives with 3 boys and she knows how they take a leak and it is her normal response when someone tries to put their filthy hands on her face.
Rosie said the TS host said it because Clay is gay, everyone should know that gay people have dirty hands???( I never understood Rosies point )
In the end, Clay raised a stink that bit him in the ass. Got Rosie O’Donnel on his side to bring awareness to the fact that he was dissed on TV and she outed him instead.
He is a mean person.
I’ve been reading the Gasm since it was a baby blog with 50 followers and there is a pattern going on here. There was a nice family atmosphere until some people started being the trolls they are and put me off reading any comments whatsoever. Things calmed down when those people got bored and looked for other avenues. TVgasm changes hands and things are okay for a while. Calm, thoughtful comments are being posted and good natured debate is rife among the posters. And then a new batch of people come on and I am back to not reading comments. It’s a never ending circle of good and bad. Right now we are heading back to bad…..
As the self appointed (as needed) Warden on this site, I too have been a very long time reader of the blog but, have only commented in the last couple years. I agree w/ @RazzBeth.
That said, like I mentioned on ‘THE’ T&T threads, I will not hesitate to get in the weeds with those who are being nasty to the recappers or unecessarily rude to other commenters. As with T&T, I don’t watch this show but, that doesn’t mean I can’t unleash a can of whoop ass on anyone who is insulting my favorite blog and its loyal commenters and most importantly the recappers.
Keep it movin. Otherwise, you’ve been warned.
I love you guys! (no beer involved). Stopped lurking while reading the recaps because this is the funniest, funnest, site with peeps (oops) who are appropriately nasty and nice. We even have our resident curmudgeon who is insightful and zeros in on whomever needs to be taken to task — without disrespect.
The trick is to bring it back to snarky, good natured fun.
Last night, I did. Lisa had him twitchin’ and sweatin’. Speaking of Lisa, how about her telling NJHW, right in front of them, that Clay and Arsenio are little bitches who are afraid of Aubrey, and at the same time telling Arsenio that calling Aubrey a bitch and a whore is inappropriate and WRONG! She reminds me of Joan Rivers, who reserves the right to say anything she pleases about anybody, but if someone makes a disrespectful remark about Melissa, even if it’s true, she launches into a screaming hissy fit.
Can’t wait for the ‘cap of last night’s epi. Especially since I turned out the lights after the first hour and went to sleep.
Fingers crossed for who was sent home.
What’s funny about that is, Clay and Lisa are actually very good friends. Lisa said that Clay made her time on the show bearable.
Be aware that trolls:
1) never respect Internet authority figures, official or self-appointed, and
2)thrive on–rather than are dissuaded by–negative attention.
It’s in their DNA. Like Down Syndrome. And the longer you spar with them, the further down to their level you’ll be dragged.
Lisa is not too consistent, giving Danaya shit week after week, and then making nice all the sudden. Clay wasn’t getting very much Lisa love after Aubrey walked off the set.
I also loved Lisa making threats to Arsenio that he had better not ever call HER a bitch. This was just after her calling him a little bitch.
I’m a one and down type of woman NWMTV…I take ‘em out and move on. And, I’m not scared. Look at my meme. Who gives a shit if a troll doesn’t like me?
Holy shitstorm, Batman! What has been happening that I’m unaware of?!? Other than the Person of Interest debacle I wasn’t aware of drama.
Amy, it concerns the POI minicap and not very nice people who think that making personal attacks on respected ‘cappers is acceptable. Or any ‘capper, for that matter, cause ya’ll are awesome!
We just want the Gasmii to be funny and snarky and civil.
gleen is very similar in meaning to gleam.
glean is to extract or acquire from.
language is fun.
Oh yeah. I didn’t connect “gleen” with “gleening” — didn’t know it was a verb. Thanks, cattyfan! Now if I could just figure out what exactly is meant by “the worm turns.” I know what it means metaphorically (sort of) but I don’t know why that image is used. Such are the thoughts that fill my exciting life and make me the life of every party.
Can’t help ya on the worm thing. It just makes me think of fishing in a pond. LOL
“Where does the phrase “the worm has turned” come from?”
“It’s one of many derived forms of an old proverb, the base of which is either tread on a worm and it will turn or even a worm will turn. It means ‘even the most humble will strike back if abused enough’. ”
I thought it meant that because the worm can poop from both ends, when the worm has turned, he is now pooping from his better end and good fortune is on the horizon. My theory sounds more plausable considering that I have never seen a humble worm strike back while I was threading it on a hook.
TC, Robin
I’m actually referring to more than the PoI “debate” that is ongoing. Some commenters have started to subtlety (and not so subtlety) attack others when they have opinions different than theirs. This is happening on many recaps and there is a pattern of the offenders.
As for commenting, I do when I feel I have something to add to the discussion or if I feel very strongly about the situation. Check the year end best of posts and you will see that some of my comments made it in there.
Yes, we should all be ragging on the shows/actors/stars, but people should stop with personal attacks on other posters. And if you start something, don’t cry foul when someone calls you on it.
I’m going to miss reading the comments because many of the people here have very interesting and varied opinions that give me a point of view I would not have necessarily seen. So for the next couple of months I will be back to reading the recaps, posting if I have something of value to add, but I will not be reading the comments posted by others. And that’s a damn shame.
The “damn shame” would be losing you opinions, Razzy. Yay for strong opinions and differences of opinion.
It is only when people seem to appear out of nowhere and say that recappers shouldn’t be doing the job if they don’t like a particular epi, or that commenters are stupid for having a different opinion. That we can do without.
There are shows that nobody could love, but skilled recappers, I’m lookin’ at you, SuperB, have turned into snarky comic gold. There are some terrific shows that lend themselves to rather bland recaps. It happens.
If there’s a sow that I feel wastes my time I don’t watch. Same for recaps.
This horse is so dead and I’m ashamed for continuing to beat it, but I feel strongly about civility. As are you from your comment. It was far more insightful than mine.
I never heard of the phrase “the worm has turned” and didn’t know worms could poop out of both ends, so your post takes care of “learn something new every day” for me today. Now, did YOU know that Cartman, whose image I have stolen for my avatar, also has that ability? It’s true. On one episode of South Park he won a bet by shoving food up his ass and poopin’ out of his mouth.
WTF? This was supposed to show up under Robinez’s “worm” post.
Oh! It means “turn” as in “turn on you and attack”! That makes total sense. I thought it meant “turn over.” I couldn’t figure out how a worm turning over could mean that events have taken a turn. But now I understand. Who knew what wordsmiths all of you are!
Hmm, I’m having crankyguy’s placement problems too.
Had ‘em for a day or so. I can be inappropriate all by myself, but placement?
What gives?
Wish I could have completely figured this one out, but here is a good explanation:

You get the prize, Maryedith!
I don’t think the men feel threatened by Aubrey. I think they’re annoyed and irritated by her. There is a huge difference.
Exactly, Sarcasatire. Now, I have never seen Teresa on anything besides this show, but I saw clips from her lunatic table-flipping online. Correct me if I’m wrong – aren’t there naked pics of Teresa online as well? Or am I thinking of some other housewife-of-name-your-city?
April, I cannot WAIT to see Lisa get fired as well. Spoiler alert (kinda)*******this past week (April 8th), Lisa starts looking very nervous about potentially being “in trouble” w/Trump. See, that wasn’t much of a spoiler. I have got to admit that an ugly mean-spirited part of my personality reared its head because I ENJOYED seeing Lisa look nervous.
I thought Arsenio said “gut” too. I seem to recall a gossip blog reporting on Aubrey a couple years ago – she had tweeted nude pics of herself w/her naughty bits covered & people were telling her that she looked heavier. She threw a fit. Granted, so would I; however, that’s where Aubrey & I differ. I wouldn’t share pics like that. No matter what one looks like, they’re going to have critics. Aubrey is so in love with herself though that she couldn’t BELIEVE anyone would think she was less than “hot”.
I remember that, Robinez! I had never seen Aiken on anything before, so that incident made me think little of him. Are you certain that he recruited Rosie? I didn’t get that impression, so I wanted to know if you’re assuming or know it to be true.
Btw, the talk show host was Kelly Ripa. Aiken was subbing for Regis while he was on vacation. He put his hand over Ripa’s mouth because she wouldn’t let him talk. First of all, it was her talk show – she was the lead host, not him. Secondly, I do not want anyone’s hand over my mouth for a variety of reasons.
Now that I’ve seen Clay on Celeb Apprentice though, I like him. He’s won me over. He mentioned being raised Southern & not making his “mama” proud on some occasions. It’s possible he has matured since the Ripa incident.
My bad. It just hit me that the housewife w/the nudie pics was Danielle…something. Maybe Staub? I’m not sure, but I can see her face & I got her confused w/Teresa.
