Aimee announces the first winner, Wendy Lee. Wait, Wendy Lee? Where the hell did she come from? In a mall full of Spanish speakers, the one Asian lady wins. Smells like racism.

Back at his mansion, Trump interrogates the two suits from Priceline to figure out which team members did the best job. Suit #1 says that Derrick did a great job, while the child impersonating an executive says that Frank, yes Franky Third Grader, did a great job.

"Hi! I'm Timmy!"

The teams gather in the boardroom to learn the results. Trump enters, once again wearing his pink Ode To Carey tie. And joining us in the boardroom this week is Don Jr. Surya is very confident that his team won this task, while team Kinetic doesn't have much at all to say. "What did you all think of Aimee is a leader?" Silence. "Was she a good team leader?" Silence. "Was she an effective team leader?" Silence. "Does anyone have anything to say?" Silence.

"Bueller? Bueller? Anyone? Bueller?"

Don Jr. announces the results and Team Arrow wins in a tight race. For their reward, they will go to the beach and get private surfing lessons from a couple of pros followed by brunch at some fancy restaurant. Team Kinetic meanwhile, will be moving back to the tents and SOMEONE IS GOING TO BE FIRED.

Team Arrow hits the beach and in a boring reward sequence, learn how to surf. However, once the waves start getting bigger things get interesting. Nicole somehow ends up injured and is carried back to their van so she can go see a doctor. Tim volunteers to go with her, and I'm sure that's only because he's concerned with her health and not at all because he's trying to sleep with her. "Tim you can fully take advantage of her now!" says Frank. I imagine this was Frank's M.O. back in college. "Dude, put this pill in her drink and then you can totally take advantage of her in a few hours!" I'm guessing that the only women Frank gets these days are the injured ones who are unable to run away.

"Wait, I want to have sex with THIS girl?"

At the doctor's office, Dr. Notcredited tells Nicole she was most likely stung by a jellyfish. Unfortunately for us, she's going to make it.

While Tim and Nicole are at the doctor, the rest of the team enjoys their brunch. "Surya, it's very impressive that you went in the water, how old are you?" asks Frank. Jesus, now the third grader is asking OTHER PEOPLE how old they are? Instead of punching him in the face like he should have, Surya comes back weakly with "That's very demeaning, how old are you?"

Later that night, Tim and Nicole get left alone outside by the pool, which means it's finally time for this "romance" to happen. Tim finally leans in for a kiss, although the way he holds her head it looks more like he's giving her CPR. This, er, really "excites" Tim. I guess Kelly's just not doing it for him back at The Office.

"You taste like a Bravado Bowl."

"Is that a penis in your shorts or are you just happy to see me?"

The next morning in Tent City, Aimee mentions that she's upset at Jenn for not doing anything about the 50% Hispanic population. Team Kinetic gathers in the boardroom, where they're greeted by Trump, Little Trump, and winning PM Surya.

When asked what went wrong, Aimee immediately says that the Spanish speaking population in the mall was not accounted for. Derrick says that not having the Spanish part covered is a red herring and the problem boiled down to Aimee's management style. The team goes down the line and they all basically say the same thing - Aimee sucks as a leader.

Trump asks Aimee why she didn't hire some people who could speak Spanish to help out with this task and Aimee weakly replies that she didn't know the demographics of the mall. Trump wisely replies that in all fairness, all she would have had to do was look around to be able to tell that the mall was full of Hispanic people. Hey, maybe Aimee doesn't see people in terms of black and white...and Hispanic. She just sees people. Shouldn't she be rewarded for that?

Fantastic recap, better than the show itself.

PS. Am I the only one who noticed how much the editors LOVE to focus on Stefani's breasts? We see them more than her face!

"Is that a p***s in your shorts or are you just happy to see me?"

God, that was funny.

Great recap, really concise and funny!

That kiss was really bizarre.

Foxbase Alpha Author Profile Page:

If Nicole was concerned about being stung by a jellyfish while surfing, she should have been more worried about that wily octopus in the hot tub trying to attach his tentacles to her face.

Ash Author Profile Page:

Okay, watching the kissing in the hot tub was painful; he just kept going in over and over, and holding her head in an awkward way each time.

This recap was great, I'm impressed! This show seems to have no hope for getting any better in the future, so it's nice to at least be entertained by the recap!

Zharak, you are completely right. Stefani's boobs are in the foreground of champagne flutes, hanging out the bottom of bikinis and basically all over. But then again, they're smarter and more interesting than half the cast so I can see why the producers went that route. Although I must say it's a shame, because Stefani seems to be one of the only people on the show who has a brain and uses it regularly, and not just to humiliate Surya. Let's see if the next couple of episodes highlight Stefani's REAL attributes.

Could anyone figure out what Aimee yelled at Jenn and Derrick while she was getting in the car? Kinda looked like "f*ck you" to me, but I always think that when the networks bleep out expletives.

Anyone know for sure?

Oh and I'm soooo glad Jenn is gone. I got very tired of looking at her intensely wrinkled forehead constantly; does she need glasses or is that her "I want to please everyone" look, or just what what is the reason for that terrible look?

My own forehead started aching in sympathy every time I saw her, ow.

If you watched this show on nbc.com wouldn't you have noticed that it's spelled Derek and not Derrick? Just saying.

I know you are directing this to the author and not necessarily me, but since you brought it up, personally I can barely be bothered to remember reality show names at all. Notice how I said in my last comment, "I'm glad Jenn is gone" when I really meant Painful Forehead Girl.

I tend to call them private nicknames, like "Painful Forehead Girl" or "Ewwww" or "Wild Eyed Insecure Black Guy" or "Dyke" (the Olympian) or "Fruity Pebbles". (Fruity Pebbles was for the guy fired last week, cannot remember his real name but he always had kind of a goofy look on his face and he never said a word when he was sitting on Trump's RH side in the board room. That guy. And my husband called him Fruity Pebbles and I guess because it made little sense, it made me laugh the hardest)

Derek, Schmerrick, does it matter?

As Amber said to Rob on that Poker reality show that aired recently, "You're just a reality show guy, Rob, not a REAL celebrity!" (paraphrase)

Oh s-s-n-a-p!

Why bother memorizing their names when there are sooo many reality shows, soooo many players and most of them are soooo utterly forgettable. :)

pupkin - I guess I had a hard enough time remembering that Aimee's name is spelled Aimee. Seriously. Aimee? That just looks completely unnecessary.

Die_MediaWhores Author Profile Page:

I call bullshit. Main Place Mall (where Kinetic was working) is my mall. I'm there twice a week. I am a white girl and while it is true that Hispanics make up 50% of mall traffic, I'd further guess that only maybe 10% of those speak no english.

I think they all just pulled the ol "no speak-a english" trick so they didn't have to join a sweepstakes. That's what I try to do, only being a white girl, I usually have to fake being German or French and my accents are horrid.

Anyway, I think Derek (they only show his name under his head about 800 times per episode, it should be at least as easy to absorb as the mall guide's name) is probably my favorite, only because he has managed to keep his gaping maw shut enough to not get on my nerves.

JTContinental Author Profile Page:

That guy's name is Derek? I barely register them as having names at all.

This was a good recap. Now I don't actually have to watch this show anymore.

SERIOUSLY - this show is dead. R*I*P* End of story.

This season sucks so much. Contestants who are personality vacuums; pointless challenges; crappy rewards (surfing at Santa Monica??); ridiculous tent sitch (ugh)... I could go on.

The biggest clanger in this episode is Trump's assertion that Gladstone's is "one of Southern California's absolutely best restaurants."

Say WHAT?!?!?!

Hands down the worst meal I ever had was at this overpriced, sub-par, seaside dining establishment. Where they make chunky tinfoil swans of everyone's leftovers. Riiight.

Gee, Trump, have you never heard of Cut, Spago, Providence, Sona, Valentino, Ortolan, Lucques, Jar, Urasawa, AOC, Angelini Osteria, Max?

Just a handful of some of the actual finest restaurants here in LA.

This show blows. The only reason I still watch is that it helps me enjoy the recaps more (nice job Jordan). We used to laugh at the contestants, now we're laughing at the show itself. Very sad how far this show has fallen.

As annoying as Frankie Suits is, at least he has a personality. This is the blandest group ever assembled by far. I will try to enjoy what surely will be the last season of this show.

I'm glad Aimee is gone. I got very tired of her sour look and perpetual frown lines.
Someone please jab her with a needle full of botox!

Jojobear Author Profile Page:

Thanks for the recap, I missed this episode, and I have a feeling that's going to happen alot more...not loving this season at all. Lovin' the recaps though!

I can't believe there is no screen shot of Aimee's evil eye before getting into the cab. It was like a really bad actor trying to portray anger. Priceless!
