Woot! The BEST EVER!!!!
By the end of last nite's episode I was hyperventilating so much I needed a cigarette.......and a cuddle

Billy Joel looked so so OLD and where was his pubescent wife? still at high school?

And somewhere in a Galaxy far far away Frau Maria is wreaking havoc on the alien race....

Wouldnt it be great if Maria and Amarosa were on the next Survivor....and then on Big Brother, locked in together for a month...

How about when Wes said that he would have at least liked to have his own cab. Hilarious! And one other thing. How big is that damn cab where they were able to seat both of themselves as well as their luggage in the back seat? I'm a native New Yorker and I have NEVER seen such a roomy Yellow Carriage of Death before.

Dammit! My digital cable froze up right after Billy Joel. I didn't see the second boardroom at all. AAAAGGGHHHHH!!!

I'm going to miss Maria sooooo much! Just because I love to read you ripping her to shreds! This was the recap I'd been waiting for! R.I.P. Maria.

I'm still weeping uncontrollably.

Everybody says that Billy Joel's young girlfriend bears a striking resemblance to his daughter Alexis. If Freud were alive today and was asked to comment on this, I'm sure he'd say, “I'm the father of modern psycho-analysis miraculously brought back to life in the 21st Century, and your asking me about Billy Joel's girlfriend?”

I'm missed the show last night -- but what a great recap - somehow I think your review might be better than the real thing.

Too bad the piano man didn't provide transportation home from the boardroom for Maria.

again, i must praise your maria screen-caps, b-side. i look forward to the forthcoming 'moments with maria' video with snarky anticipation.

anybody out there got some inside dope on why trump decided to fire 2 in one episode? was it just to have another'board-room first'?

ah, maria. we knew that nothing short of ditching the brooches and breaking out the riding crop, waffen-SS cap, and your 'designer' latex suit could save you from being fired eventually, but it will be hard to let you go. you'll still be in my dreams--giving me a well-deserved spanking.

YES! Please, put a nice film together of Maria clips, that would be lovely.

And EWWWW, I can not picture Trump in Jeans of any kind. He just doesn't have the butt for it.

Is it just me, or when Maria was presenting the idea to Levi's, didn't she look just like a Sim? Her hand gestures were so artificial they looked computer generated. It was disturbing (and funny as hell).

I'm surprised nobody has commented on the verbal demotion The Donald gave his companion. In last week's show, she was his fiancé; but this week, she was just his girlfriend. My wife and I both noticed that and assumed he received a reaming for that Freudian slip.

I was so thrilled with the double firing, I have been pleading with my TV screen to have that happen since the beginning. I mean seriously, where did they get the people this year? Kelly is obviously going to win. The women especially are so pathetic this year. I think Jen will make it to the end because otherwise Trump will look like a misogynist. But even she sucks. I hate the trick question of "If this person worked for me I would have fired them" I am seriously waiting for someone to do that. Do they just send someone back to the loft? Ivana is such a nasty biatch. I think she has very low self-esteem.
And what was that hooting Kelly did for Jen? I was waiting for him to stick on a fake nose and glasses and wiggle his cigar at her.
And seriously what was up with Kevin's hydration level? At any moment I thought he would make like Senator Kelly from X-men and slip through the floor boards, so gross.
Great ep, great recap!!

Fab recap B-side,
Ciao Maria

Ha, I also made the comment about Kevin and his man-purse. Does anyone else think that Kevin might be on steroids?
And not only do Ivana and I share college alma maters (those damn Comm School-ers!) but apparently Maria is from my hometown. UGH. If you can't get enough of Maria, check out her insufferable website: www.mariaboren.com

I was actually planning on doing a little review of Maria's website this weekend...

Kevin looks like a fat person who have lost a lot of weight. Whatever he's doing is working because I want to see him shirtless in every episode.

Man...does it all come down to sex? Kevin was all to happy to go shirtless and flex his musc-les in that photo-shoot...Who cares...He is a liar. He lied on the project with Raj and this time, Ivana (gasp)had the idea, he should have told Trump, on the QT that it was all Ivana, seeing as she bit her lip for the first time. I think the young debater is gonna win...Trump likes no other. I just wish that Maria had packed her exploding water flower for the taxi ride to the (faux) airport ride with Wes, the numbskull. Melania looked hot BTW.

I wonder if after being exhorted by the Piano Man to "take risks" any of Team Apex got tanked and drove into a house. Shut up Billy. Maria's reaction to the not so stiff opposition encountered by the mediocre minds of her teammates was precious. Can you blame Wes for not having the chutzpah to put maria in her place? Is that not a kamikaze mission? Props to Wes on his "my own taxi" thrust of the knife. It got the point across (i.e. Maria = bitch) without provoking an attempt on his life by the Bosefrau. Also, great review...pretty much took all the comments out of my mouth.

Melania looked hot? Man...does it all come down to sex?

Yeah I felt bad for Ivana when Jen got the credit from Levi's.

I've just returned from a two week trip to New York City, where Elizabeth and last season's Heidi were spotted having dinner at Tao restaurant (featured on the show earlier this season). As well, there was a big Maxim party a few days ago where some of the Apprentice gals were seen at, including Maria!! Didn't she pose for some magazine recently too? Hopefully you'll post some of those pictures if you get your hands on them!

forgive me if this sounds dumb, but have they finished taping this show, or do they do a new one each week? I'm just wondering about the logistics.. Do they have a task every day/every other day, or are these people actually in New York right now waiting to tape the episode for 2 weeks from now...?

i hope that makes sense...

Yeah, what was with Kevin's man-purse? It scared me! And what was in it, anyway? The purse was all stripey and weird.

You can tell by the fact that these people are still wearing summer clothing on the show that it was rapped before it aired. It's Thanksgiving. We're wearing coats now.

There is no way Kevin could set the record straight in front of the client. It would have been really inappropriate. Carolyn, Bill and the footage could set him straight well enough. At this point, Ivana has given enough of a bad name that it would hardly turn things around.

Oh yeah, I keep forgetting it's supposed to be cold in November.

I guess that happens living in Arizona where it's still 70+ degrees :)

Maria is a perfect example of how gorgeous people can actually look ugly when you get to know them- BRUTAL! Great recap...

Maria in Maxim = proof there is a higher power and he/she/it likes me.

I LOVE reading your recaps! With each passing week, Jen is wearing me out more and more. I thought she was so cool at first--bright, competent, quietly going about her tasks and allowing the Sigma Delta Apexes to scratch one another's eyes out in front of the the Board. Then she started showing her true green colors as she jealously picked off the other girls one by one. Next to her, Maria mit-die-Großblume-neo-Hitler Jungendliche either ties or wins first runner-up for prettiest, and when presented with the opportunity to boot a few girlies from her team a few weeks ago, I believe Maria was the first to go, along with Meg Ryan-look-alike Elizabeth. Now they're gone and she's got Angelina Jolie-lipped Ivana who is never sans her dark berry lipstick to contend with, and what does she do? Sit there with that idiotic shit-eating grin on her face as the Levis people give her Ivana's much-deserved props. Ivana's been quite a snatcharella on the show, so I have to give her major props for biting her big ol' collagen lip when Jen just sat there taking the credit. Ooooh, Jen made me SEETHE. I really hope that Donny watched the footage of Ivana coming up with her great ideas as Jen sat there going, "Duh..." with drool running from her lip. Jen sucked in the presentation, big time. I was expecting her to sweat like Kevin. I think Sandy's going to win this thing. She's completed her tasks with a cucumber coolness, and she's managed to remain friends with everyone, so it seems. I noticed that they said that, after this week's episode, they'll be down to the final 4. There are six left, so I'm guessing we'll see 2 more go on Thanksgiving. I used to want Ivana gone, but she impressed me last week. I'd love to see him axe Jen and Andy. Andy can talk, but he can't walk so well, I think. SO glad Maria's gone. Wes saying he wished he'd gotten his own cab--CLASSIC.

Isn't it funny how Maria and Wes just get done criticizing each other in the boardroom and then they have to be squeezed in a cab together? Great recap as always B-Side. I'm looking forward to the Maria video.

Hilarious. I peed my pants several times reading this recap (damn my weak bladder!)

One of the funniest things I saw when I watched my tape was when the troupe was making their way into the Levi's building at the beginning of the ep and Jen pulled on a push door, but kept her composure and pushed it open confidently. And it was all caught on tape. I cracked up when I saw that.
