Time for eliminations. Sitting in front of the DFL, the Uptown team begins rehashing their failures. Rob is immediately called out for insisting they follow the road rather than the compass, as well as for missing the Grammy trivia question. Rob tries to argue that other people thought Diddy only had 1 Grammy (not true), and claims that Red's running around was distracting to the team. Suzanne backs Rob up a bit on that one, but I don't think that changes the fact Rob had them lost for hours before that even began.
But this isn't all about Rob. Red and Rob quickly start pointing fingers at Poprah, and Rob explains to the DFL that the team isn't sure if Poprah was for real or faking it. Poprah angrily insists she was legitimately ill, and points out she works 16 hour days for her company, so she can't be in as bad of physical shape as her team is claiming. Suzanne's bony ass somewhat snottily mutters that's because she spends those 16 hours sitting down, and Capricorn's eyebrows shoot into her hairline. Brianne, it should be noted, sits silently throughout this like she did last week. I'm not sure if it's because she's trying to avoid drawing fire, or because she considers participating in this discussion work. We all know how she feels about doing work.
"Dear God: Please let me get this job so I can hire my own assistant and get back to reading Perez Hilton like I should be right now. Oh, and I'd also like that new Burberry satchel. Love, Bri."
The DFL calls for the vote for the weakest teammate. Rob and Red vote for Poprah, and Poprah and Brianne vote for Rob. Suzanne stalls as the tiebreaker, although I doubt it matters much who she votes for, since Rob and Poprah are almost 100% sure to choose each other to face the judges. Suzanne finally decides that Rob is more valuable in the long-run (agreed), and votes for Poprah to face the judges as the weakest teammate. Poprah immediately picks Rob, as expected.
The Diddy Inner Circle files in, and Rob and Poprah plead their cases while taking shots at each other. Rob hilariously insists at one point that he didn't learn land navigation in the Army, which midget-faced Phil quickly calls him out on. Rob tries to dodge the question, is called out again by Phil, and admits that he took 1 class in land navigation. When he tries to downplay that, Phil again refuses to take his bullshit, and points out that 1 class is a hell of a lot more than anyone else had. Oh Rob, I had such high hopes for you, before you proved to be the fatal combination of arrogantly stupid (see also: Jessie from Big Brother).
As for Poprah, she's aggressive again but makes several good points, including that while there are things like sick day, which would cover her absence in this challenge, there is no such thing as incompetence day for Rob. I have a feeling for Rob, every day is incompetence day. However, DIC member Kevin does mention that Poprah's still talking shit about all her teammates, just in a nicer, subtler way than last week.
Does Capricorn's mirror only show her from the waist up?
After a brief, repetitive deliberation of the DIC, the team is called back in for results. That is, after Poprah compares herself to Jesus and Martin Luther King, Jr. You know, only if those two were wretched, shrieking human jello molds. But unlike those two, Poprah's going to live on as Rob is eliminated. Obviously the wrong decision, obviously the result of producer interference. I refuse to get angry about this when I already saw it coming after Boobette was wrongly eliminated last week.
So that's it for week 2 of I Want To Work For Diddy. Tell me what you thought -- did Rob deserve to go for embarrassing the entire US Military? Was Poprah faking her asthma attack, and even if she wasn't, should her weight be a factor in this competition? Anyone else dislike Fatty McGaptooth (Boris) as much as I do after his comments about and treatment of Verne? And who's excited to see these idiots go to Paris next week? I'm always a fan of international travel on reality shows, just to see how big of assholes my fellow Americans can make out of themselves.
Thanks for reading!

I totally think Poprah was faking it. She's so big that the coughing is probably what her normal breathing sounds like.
Ok, that sounded really mean but she is annoying! I can't believe she really compared herself to Jesus and MLK? She's completely insane.
