The show opened up with a brief snippet from last week's Boardroom which was followed by the survivors -- Tarek and Lee -- returning to the suite. Before the two walked back in, however, we then cozied up next to Charmaine, who noted, "It's gonna be really weird if Tarek comes back again." Well, guess what, Charmaine? It's gonna be really weird because two seconds later, in walked Tarek -- his hair extra greasy from the Boardroom perspiration. Ah yes, the golden boy of Gold Rush had survived another round with The Donald, much to the dismay of his teammates. At this point, everyone was gunning for the MENSA man, but good ol' Bryce wasn't going to let his favorite Orlando Bloom doppleganger go down without a fight. He was going to look out for Tarek, keep the girls at bay, restore peace to the team. Yes, it would be a Pax Gold Rush-a, and we'd all have Bryce to thank for this bountiful new era.

Or so Bryce would have us believe. He elected himself Project Manager and gathered the group around to discuss all the "issues." He wanted to work everything out -- oh, and he wanted to do it in fifteen minutes. That's less time than most people spend on a treadmill. For a moment, I thought that maybe Bryce had some sort of express Dr. Phil routine ready to go, but it turned out that he merely was terrible with time (as we'd later find out in the episode).

Anyway, the group all sat down, and Tarek began to vent about his issues. He seemed to be doing well, earnestly noting that he's always going to be called out in the Boardroom no matter what he does. He almost had us feeling bad for him... until he said, "I get the feeling that the reason for that [the scapegoating] is because you all think that I'm a strong player, and you want to get rid of me." He then added, "Luckily, I'm incredibly modest."

Okay, he didn't say that last part, but like every episode, we went from kind of liking Tarek to pretty much hating him all in one quick turn of the dime. And just in case we weren't totally turned off by his general smugness, he then told us, "I'm a little bit honored that they keep coming after me." And I'm sure Orlando Bloom is a little bit honored that you keep trying TO BE HIM.
