   Flipit, hilarious!! I said the same thing about Star’s firing. We all know Trump is way too much of a chauvinist to let a woman clutch her pearls at being called ‘Sweetie’ in his workplace. Let her get away with that, then the next thing you know, she’ll object to having her breasts fondled. Doesn’t she know why she was hired? Know your place, ladies!

   I know Trump is a total douche, but I can’t believe he actually admitted that the winning was MORE important than the charity (or something like that). He said it like twice to Meat. At least PRETEND you care about the kids..haha. And I usually like when a man can show a few tears, but even I was ready to duck tape Meat’s mouth (and I like him). Waaaaahhhhhhhh!! For 20 freaking minutes!! Enough already. I was beginning to think he was on something he was sobbing so much.

   I cannot..I repeat, cannot..stand..Star. I was SO happy she got fired. She is such a self-righteous freak. She could state her case waiting for the decision, but told Meat to basically shut up?? What a prick she is. Ugh. I know it will be more boring, but I am glad she is gone. I wish the freak Nene would have stayed. You just know Trump was PISSED she quit and he couldn’t fire her. So he had to call her out. He is such a control freak. He can’t stand that a woman would actually tell him where to put it. His wah wah Star is better than you speech was hilarious. You just know he couldn’t give a rat’s azz about who is better..it was just his way to stick it to her.

   Oh Trump..you are a total douche. And hooray..it makes me giggle.

   Meat Loaf:(crying) “But this is about THE KIDS! What’s more important than the kids?”
   Trump: “Duh, winning.”

   When they were in the lobby, Star told Meat that until he had her level of education and experience that she wouldn’t deign to speak to him…then she went into the boardroom and whined that Meat was disrepectful to her by calling her “sweetie.”

   What. A. (Delusional.) Bitch.

   That last sentence in the first paragraph on the second page is funny BUT DON’T think I want you to start talking SMACK about my TASTY, CHUBBY, MEATLOAF.

   He’s just emotional.

   Totally lost all respect for Meat who was more loaf than meat last night. That sobbing was ridonkulous and any other word of the same equality. BUT it wasn’t just FOR THE KIDSSSS that got me. How come he whined and blew snotbubbles about how he didn’t want to lose that money FOR THE KIDDDSSS so he wanted a guarantee he would be able to keep the $$ he raised if he lost but then when he won, he wouldn’t let Toyatoy keep the $$ she raised? What’s fair is fair and that’s what was done the last time. But I sure didn’t see even one flicker of loafy wanting to play fair with the $$. Kinda amazed that not one of the celebtards brought that up either. This show is total douchery but still fun to watch

   I get where Meat was coming from. I am also easily moved to tears especially when it comes to children in need. And if you have ever been around or worked with really sick kids, you’ll know exactly how he felt. I have. It wasn’t that he was raising money that wasn’t going to go to his charity, it was that he was calling donors associated to his charity and their money would be going elsewhere. In other words, these were people that were going to give their $10K or $25K to Painted Turtle but were giving it to him for the charity instead of giving it directly to the charity. So that would have meant that those kids would have otherwise had that money if he had lost. The fact that he felt so deeply that those kids might do without something all because of him speaks volumes about what a good person he is. I have certainly NEVER seen anyone else on the celebrity apprentice have any twinges of conscience associated with it.

    I find that I’m easily moved to tears WHEN I’M COKED TO THE GILLS. I think Meatloaf and me may have that in common.

    Also, I can’t beleive I’m saying this, but I’ve finally found someone more reprehensible than Trump: NeNe. I’m sure a good part of her general awefulness is designed to keep her hippopatamus-sized ass on the minds of E News and WWHL, but you know some of it is just her. Now we can add “lousy quitter” to the list of Miss Leakes’s delightful personality traits.

    Actually, if Trump wanted to prove he isn’t racist, I challenge him to listen to Insane Clown Posse for a week, and go on a date with the U.S.S. NeNe.

    So Trump’s NOT racist but he fires three black women in one show? Well, LaToya is really Casper and NeNe quit, so maybe he has an out…

    I was stunned Star was fired (FINALLY)…I really thought Meat was out for being such a wuss, but I wonder if Trump already has his two faves picked out for the final and he’s moving the pieces around to make that happen? I’m thoroughly convinced it will be Marlee and John R. fighting to the death. Anyone else? And don’t ruin it for me if you already know (I know some people do, I want to be surprised if that is possible with reality shows!).

    I floved the missing posters of NeNe nailed on the trees. Hysterical!! I teared up when John Rich told Meat that if they lost he would match what they had collected, personally, out of his own pocket.

    You can’t accuse Trump of firing three black women in a row, because:

    1) As you mentioned, NeNe quit.
    2) NeNe is not really a “woman”; she’s 500 lbs of negative sterotype packed into a 275 lb bag.

    Wasn’t she supposed to be some kind of “entertainment reporter” for an Atlanta TV station? I bet that lasted for two or less airings.

    DearCrabby, I agree with your assessment. It seems as if Trump has held Marlee as a favorite ever since the beginning. She seems above reproach. I mean, in this task, she had pretty much checked out, leaving it all up to Meat Loaf and he dropped the ball. Star tried to be her usual controlling self, which works with the women, but Meat Loaf is no lady. That is, until he is sobbing beneath a handkerchief. Of all the times Star could of come under the chopping block for bad decisions in previous tasks, this time I don’t think she was the reason her team failed. That was Marlee for not leading as PM, and Meat Loaf for his commercial that missed the mark regarding OnStar being available in stores. But Trump had no use for Star now that there was no one around to fight with her. So, out she went.

    Lil Jon has gotten little credit in the boardrooms. The commercial was like 100% him. He created the concept, complete with the special effects, he even helped write the script as John Rich has a tendency to be verbose. And he worked with the editor to finish the product. But he wasn’t PM so John Rich got the credit. And all Lil Jon was criticism for being too ‘over the top’ in his acting.

    But you gotta love Trump’s remarks to Lil Jon in the boardroom. Trump says that this show is not good for Lil Jon’s image, because it portrays him as “solid” and “establishment.” Damn. So Lil Jon’s proven success in business and music has given him a reputation of being the complete opposite of “solid?”
    Trump, you keep trying to digging yourself out of that hole…and you’ll wind up in China.

    The fundraising tasks seem to be a bit unfair. They don’t highlight the skills of the task or the PM, only the size of the checks bought in. For instance, the comedy show. Who cared about which show was funnier or better produced when Trump only added up the donations to pick his winner? Jimmy Fallon thought his presence meant something, I’m sure he was shocked to see it didn’t. We kept hearing how he rearranged his schedule to come help out. Pfft. He could’ve stayed home and just sent a bigger check.

    Watching Meat Loaf in this episode was like watching the last after school special they made in a fiscal year – you know, the budget was almost gone because they blew it on the “big stars” like Scott Baio and Rob Lowe so they have to make due with what they have. It was painful. It’s great that he was so passionate about his charity, but seriously dude? I don’t even cry that much at those ASPCA commercials with all the puppies and kitties and that Sarah McLaughlin song.

    Chicken Lips…I can’t watch that ASPCA spot. I volunteer at a local (no kill) shelter, and I’ve seen first hand what some people will do to animals. If you think those soulful, pained eyes are hard to look at on the TV screen, try being face to face with an animal that doesn’t understand why it’s been treated so horribly. It’s heartbreaking.

    Given that, I can understand why Meatloaf is so emotionally tied to his charity. If he has actually worked with the kids (not just let his name be used, as some celebrities do,) then he is really invested. He may be over the top, but that’s the kind of advocate those in need should have…someone who will do anything (legal) to get them help.

    I like that Meat Loaf is dedicated to his charity but he signed up for a show that is known to give all of the raised funds to the winning PM. You can’t cry about it once the contracts are signed.

    Look at LaToya. She is helping people with AIDS who cannot even afford food. She raised $82,000, after telling everyone who donated where the money would go (her charity). Yet, when she lost, she did it with grace. I would have loved if Meat Loaf had the grace to extend at least half of her team’s earnings towards to Latoya’s charity. But he didn’t want to share his paint, so… no surprise there.

    I’m looking forward to Joan Rivers and her acerbic wit next week. I can imagine Meat Loaf and Lil Jon to be her biggest targets. Can’t wait to laugh!

    Did anyone else think that Meat Loaf’s “cop” was channeling Chief Wiggum?
