I miss Maria.

Great writeup. I kept waiting for Carolyn to really lay into Ivana with some snarky comment like "CEO doesn't stand for Chief Ecdysiast Officer."

Best boardroom moment - shot of the three just sitting there. Carolyn: "Are you going to just sit there waiting, or are you going to defend yourselves?"

But the firing (literally, thanks to "little finger gun" Trump) was worth the wait.

Yes, I was going to mention Carolyn asking the applicants to sack up, but I was so eager to get to the finger gun that I left it out.

I think that the Donald actually liked the whole stripping thing. He looked a little drooly when it was first brought up and then when Carolyn was complaining about the stripping he asked "Did she strip or did she kind-of strip." He was ready to forgive; but I think Carolyn probably laid down the law long before that boardroom that her presence might be missed next season if Ivana's wasn't in the cab at the end of the night.

Kick ass write up.

So amazing though. Out of the 500,000 (or whatever it was) applicants, all they could come up with was this bunch ir bumbling idiots? I can't imaging the casting call..."Would all of the most stupid, insipid, common senseless, backbiting, spineless, losers please step forward." Now I now why my neighbor (who made it through an early round of auditions) didn't get picked. They only want idiots who will make good TV - which, of course, is the whole point of the show but, in the end, The Donald has to actually employ these idiots - even if only for a year.

Maybe, just maybe it might actually be interesting to see actual smart people fight for the job. But then again, that will never happen becasue what smart business person in their right mind would want to quit there job to be portrayed as a buffon on this show? Oh wait, my neighbor would. But seriously, he's a nice guy.

"Eventually it was time to put Ivana out of her misery as Donald succinctly proclaimed: "I'm not hiring a stripper." And then, in an unprecedented move, he eschewed his usual cobra strike in lieu of a slap on the table and a little finger gun. kaBOOOM! That's right Ivana. You were just virtually shot by Cool Hand Trump. Not even Omarosa got that type of a sendoff. Personally, I would have liked The Donald to have pretended to have hit a homerun or maybe he could have stood up, dropped an imaginary ball and kicked it out of the office. In the end, Ivana angrily strutted out of the building as George sat with a look that seemed to say "I, uh, kind of liked the striptease.""

-brilliant.

Excellent recap b-side but quite frankly all you needed to write was your last 6 words!

For this level of humiliation, you could actually start a website and make more per year than you would working for Trump anyway...

(going to squat www.DropIvanasDrawers.com ...)

b-side - you are the best. but..but...last week's show...I missed Andy's firing and you haven't re-capped it? tears.

I don't know what is funnier, Trump's hand slap on table and finger gun or your review B-Side. Both made me crack up.

On a side note, when a women accuses another of using her body to sell somthing and says it isn't classy or they would never do that, it just means they are jealous. Allow me to reiterate this, Ivana is jealous of Sandy and Jen's long blond hair and big boobs while Carolyn is jealous of Ivana's slender physique. Many females may try to deny this but trust me, it is true.

I think it's one thing for Ivana to bemoan Sandy and Jen (that was clearly jealousy), but I don't think Carolyn was jealous of Ivana. I think she was purely embarrassed as a business woman.

b-side, will you marry me?

well jen screwed ivana over, so thats why she brought her name up. Jen is worthless and needs to go.
: (

OK, maybe its just me but I thought that Jenn and Sandy were trying to be like the Budweiser(?) twins. Anyone else get that?
I also got a kick out of Carolyn saying that Ivana wasn't selling a chocolate bar when she dropped her skirt. Um...so Jenn and Sandy were selling chocolate bars? Whatev.

Awesome recap!

I think it's the Coors twins actually, and yes Jen and Poor Man's Jen were selling candy bars. They can't help that they were pretty while they were doing it. It's Ivana's fault that she controls her seething rage against pretty blond girls by taking off her clothes.
I don't think Jen is that bad. I think it's pretty obvious that it will be her and Kelly in the final two.

I'm a woman and I'm not jealous when some other chick flashes her pulchritude. If you want to be a stripper, no beef here. Pity, but no beef. If you strip in front of me, that's a problem.

Some of us actually have moral boundaries that are offended by less respectful behavior. Too many loose and easy women creates havoc for me in the form of overly forward, aggressive and disrespectful men.

Nobody lives in a vacuum.

With each passing episode, Kelly is doing a worse and worse job of hiding his well-justified contempt for the bevy of intellectual non-entities that some bungling NBC screening panel placed in his midst. And to Jen and Sandy, I was extremely heartened to see you put your level of education disparities aside and make amends...for sweets with sweets warrest not. Ah yes, Ivana stricken with ugly-duckling syndrome and justifiably indignant at the cruel hand of Nature that didn't offset her vacuous head with some semblance of hotness a la sandy and jen. keep up the good work b-side

b-side, you are killing me with the recaps! Seriously, I read your work and I everytime I find myself I front of the computer just laughing like a crazy person. Please, never stop.

Joslyn

Kelly is too OLD to win, (you know the old adage if you haven't made it by the time you're 35)

My prediction is the final two will be Jen and Sandy in "Battle of the Bottle Blondes".

Great writeup as always.

But holy shit, the Final Four is Kelly the fading star, Kevin, the human humidifier and the Interchangeable Blondes? Even Omarosa could easily beat this bunch. Hell, fucking Sam could win if he were competing against this group.

Maybe the interchangeable blondes can join forces and compete as one contestant?

retroqueen- normally i'd agree with you about kelly, but

a) he's ex-military, so it isn't like he was jerking off in front of the computer during his twenties.

b) everyone else sucks.

seriously--kelly would have to get caught naked with melania at this point to lose (of course, i'd trade one hot minute with melania for a job as trump's lap poodle any day of the week and twice on sunday).

You never know what happens in the interviews though. Remember last season and sure-shot Amy?

i found it painful to watch ivana in the boardroom continuously dissing jen, saying that she should be there instead of her. Helllloooo... you lost! she was so overcome with jealsouy and it was so obvious. what did jen really do that everyone hates her so much? i think she has been the best so far...comments?

Seriously, b-side.... is there anyway you could recap the one where andy got fired? The only one I missed!

As Chris Rock said on Conan: I present to you CEO Kwami! he then said, I present to you, janitor Kwami.
Ceo Kelly? i think the horrorfying bridal shop chick is the winner.

Quit frankly the only thing I ever got out of dropping trou for a work related event was an asshole boyfriend and a reputation as the office hoe.
I hafta give props to Ivan for making some really hard up dude toss away 20 bucks for a flipping candy bar which I sure as hell hope was mmmmmazing because as we know Ivana is no hottie, unless you are into that pre - pubescent boy look, in which case she's a 10.

I really don't care which of the final four geniuses wins. I've got the hots for Carolyn!!!

Good job bside... Ivana is the skankiest skeev! Nasty!
