Diddy's Inner Circle files in, and the DIC gives Deon the floor first. He comes out swinging, calling Boris inconsistent and inefficient. Deon then takes it to a personal level, calling Boris an "eyesore" that he wouldn't take to a park, let alone put in front of a client. Okay I've made a few cracks about Boris's appearance, but that's just cruel. Deon doesn't stop there, but launches into his charming swearing routine, insisting that Boris is just here for tits and ass. While the DIC looks a little appalled (RuPauled?) by Deon's statements, midget face Phil does follow up and ask Boris how he contributed to this task. Boris scratches his ass, tries to avoid the question several times, and the best he can come up with is that he physically found Angela in Paris. When Verne looks shocked and Deon starts laughing, Phil asks Verne if that's true and she says that it is not.
Just as it looks like Boris is moving back in with mom, he does make one good argument -- he has learned from the mistakes his team made in this task, whereas Deon has advertising experience and stubbornly insists that the ad is perfect and has refused to learn anything. Bug-eyed, Deon insists he was just an advertising assistant, and he now works in a law firm. Way to make the legal community proud, Deon. He continues by claiming he doesn't have the technical eye to notice the mistakes Capricorn and Tweedy pointed out, and Phil calls him out for talking out both sides of his mouth.
Once the Downtown team is ushered out, the DIC compares notes. Capricorn says that while Boris has been on auto-pilot this is the first time he's shown "some spinal cord." So he showed you a bundle of nerves, Cappy? What? They also point out Deon's swearing habits, but admit that the team's unanimous selection of Boris for elimination carries a lot of weight. Oh, like it did for Poprah?
Everyone's brought back in, and Kevin tells Deon and Boris that he thinks both of them deserve to go home. How very un-motivational speaker of you, Kev. After a brief rehashing of their faults, Phil announces their decision -- Deon is not ready to work for Diddy. Good riddance, Deon. Something about that guy really creeped me out.
So what did you think? Did the Uptown team deserve to win? Did Deon deserve to go home? And would anyone else like to see more of Louisa?

LOL Lolo,
Girl, you nailed this to the wall... I don't have a chance to see this show at all, but I have no problem keeping up with it thanks to you, you're amazingly talented (I giggled like mad at "he'd be lucky if that was all that Diddy stuck in his mouth").
I agree that Deon was creepy and all, but I'm tired of dumbass straight boys like Boris who act like breathing the same air as a transexual will shrivel their dick into a clitoris, and I wish he'd gone home. Poprah, while annoying, makes great TV...
And as far as Louisa is concerned... meh, I get plenty of bitchassness from the girls over at ANTM.
love you, love your work... *huggles*

Great recap, but I would'v e preferred to see Boris go than Deon. At least Deon looked and acted somewhat professional. Boris just looks like he's hanging out waiting for tits and ass as your recap pointed out.
I am glad you brought up that twitching thing that Red does. I noticed that a couple of times thinking I'm the only one who sees it.
I would like to see more of Louisa but I really would like to see more of Kendra. Kendra seems like she's a crazy and funny person unlike Deon who was crazy and weird.

Wussup everyone I am taking this moment to give a shout out to everyone whose taken time to write about me and everyone else on the show....the good and the bad. I am sure the good blogs and comments are appreciated by all the other contestants as well as my self. I cant say however that its been easy to read a lot of the things Ive seen, but, I realize that when I put myself out there to compete on this show, I set myself up for whatever comments come my way. Its all good though, because, no matter how hateful or hurtful or straight out messed up bloggers can be, I know that the opportunity I received on this show is worth much more than having to feel bad over the writings of people who dont know the real Can Do or that sit around the computer all day running their mouth. All I want to put out to you is the thought that the time spent writing nasty grams about me and others on the show could be better spent by using that time to reach out to kids and youth in trouble. Ive come a long way in my short life because of people who have reached out to me and taken the time to help me learn that I am capable of doing great things.....regardless of what someone writes about me eating a sandwich or the fact that I like to wear my shirts untucked or left my cell phone in New York. Remember, the greater purpose of this show is to provide opportunity...not to generate a platform to rip people apart. So to all you negative bloggers out there, use your energy to make things better for everyone.and remember, sleep is forbidden.

Oh, silly Boris. This is all in good fun. Besides, since when do you worry about what people think? I suggest instead of spending hours scouring the internet for mentions of your name, that time could be better spent by reaching out to transexual or homosexual youth in trouble.
Love, h4b

P.S. No one likes a bigot. Those who judge others harshly can only expect the same in return. Team laVerne 08!!

Nice to here from you CanDo, but I must agree with H4B..... googling your name is not very pro-active!
LoLo... as always, your recaps are the best. Lookforward to next week!

Sorry, Boris, but feel I must disagree, the greater "purpose" of this show is NOT about providing opportunity (well, except for stroking Sean Combs' overwhelming ego)... what it IS about is creating wacky drama and conflict, which is EXACTLY why the show's producers cast a transexual and a schlub like yourself and forced you to spend time together, so we can all have a chance to laugh at how much of a tool you can make of yourself... and you fell for it!
However, I must applaud your being savvy enough to realize that reality TV makes you fair game for bloggers and anyone else with an opinion and a computer, so kudos for your self-awareness... now if you could just work on that homo/trannyphobia a little...
love, J-Mo :)
xoxox
P.S. Please don't take offense at my use of the word "schlub", I actually think schlubs are quite cute and sexy... it's the "tool" part I wish you'd kick to the curb... xo -J :)

Hey guys!
Thanks for the great comments! I'm really enjoying this show so far, and I'm glad I've got all of you to enjoy/mock it with me!
Bigjr, I agree that we need more of Kendra. I also would like to see more of Stefanie, for besides her youth, she seems to have her shit together.
And CanDo/Boris, as the others already said, the whole purpose of this site is for bloggers to "sit around the computer all day running their mouth" as you put it. We realize that regardless whether we're watching reality or scripted TV, the people on our screens are characters. So therefore when we mock the characters, we're not attacking you as a real person, but instead the character version of you presented in the show. That being said, if you're going to be offended, you probably shouldn't be Googling yourself and searching out sites like this one. I know if I ever go on reality TV, TVgasm is the last place on earth I'd go once the show airs. :)
Finally I'd like to add that I hope your ignorant comments about LaVerne were a ploy for camera time and the reaction they would stir up on the Internet. If not, perhaps learning to be more tolerant would be a better use of your time than surfing the blogs.
LoLo
