With it being two weeks since the last Apprentice, memories of the last Boardroom were somewhat hazy for me. Luckily, the show began in said Boardroom with Leslie and Lee going at it in front of Trump. That's right. It's all coming back to me now: Lee's nonstop blabbing, Leslie's exasperation, those damn P'Eatzzas. The whole thing just made for gastrointestinal malaise. Come to think of it, I bet if we really investigate Bruce's intestinal blockage on Survivor, we'd find an old P'Eatzza stuck in his colon. Feeling sick now? Good. That's how my recaps are best read.

Anyway, with Leslie and Lee snarling at each other in the Boardroom, we then cut to Charmaine up in the suite who was trying to predict the outcome of this showdown. "Maybe I'm just DUMB, but I kind of feel like Leslie's coming back," she told one of her roommates. Bad news, Charmaine. You're dumb. Leslie was fired, and in case we forgot, she was canned on her birthday. I felt bad for her two weeks ago the first time we saw this, but now we saw that her buddies had planned a whole celebration for her. They'd even baked her a birthday cake, complete with marbleized frosting. But alas, Trump's finger gun is a mighty force, and no Duncan Hines creation can fight it. Therefore, Leslie went home without even participating in her own birthday bonanza -- just proving that you can't have your cake and eat it too. Or actually, you just can't have your cake at all.

Well, Lee returned to the suite, and almost everyone gave him superficial hugs and smiles. Everyone but Charmaine, that is. She simply sneered, "Shit!" and walked away. Maybe she was mad because she didn't have a cake prepared for him as well. She does love having a cake handy at all times.

Okay, I'm making things up. Charmaine was pissed, but that's only because she just really didn't like Lee. And after the cocky little stunt he then pulled at dinner, I could see why. You see, Lee was talking about the Boardroom experience with Leslie when he remarked, "She probably fought the hardest out of all the people I fired." Yes, he said "I fired." Man, talk about ego. He was making Tarek seem like the Dalai Lama.

Anyway, for those of you who may have forgotten, in the last Boardroom, Charmaine told Trump that Leslie should not be fired, implying that the axe should fall on Lee. Well, that night, as they continued to eat dinner, Lee insisted that he wasn't even mad at Charmaine. Not at all. Riiight. We'll see how long this latest self-delusional lie lasts.
