In tonight's first episode, I really think that Charmaine gave the performance of a lifetime in the boardroom. She definitely was annoying during the task (not that she deserved to leave or anything, just that I wouldn't have wanted to have been listening to her) but she presented her points well and kept the focus where it belonged. Instead of complaining in the tone that she had been using while they were working, she remained diplomatic and professional. She definitely showed some intelligence in how to play the game.

I was very upset to see Lenny go, but I figured it would happen this week. Now the only one I have left to cheer for is Lee.
Regarding the second episode, Leslie was definitely the coreect person to fire. The lost because the price was too high. She as PM approved the price.
And may I say that Charmaine cornering Lee for sticking up for his friend in the BR made me want to slap her.

I agreed with Charmaine. I think Lenny was acting like a pre-schooler and I don't understand Lee's affection for him. I have to say Lenny shutting down Bill's bitching in the Board Room (say that 10X fast) was hillarious.
Between last week and this week, I'm glad this group isn't afraid to tell Trump he's full of it. He's supposed to be mentoring these candidates and giving them advice along the way. I think Trump and Tyra are too caught up in their other ventures to give enough weight to these shows anymore. I'm just glad that Trump's contestants aren't afraid to call it as they see it in the boardroom.
I don't think that allowing three people making some allegedly business-savy people look like complete buffoons on national television just so you have something to show from week to week is the best way to approach declining ratings Trump. :rolleyes:
As much as I enjoyed the little girl getting her "Make a Wish", do we really need to call it ia "reward" for the winners of the challenge? One week they're eating truffles and the next week they are toy shopping? :?

I think both Lenny and Leslie deserved to go. In the first episode, the music room they made did not look like a kid's room at all. The room that won was much better. In the second episode, I couldn't believe they priced their sandwhichs so high! I would definitely not pay that much! :confused

I think that the price was even more of a problem because their product was really weird. If I was in New York, I might pay eight dollars for a sandwich, but not for some crazy pizza concoction at a 7-Eleven!
The rewards are definitely pretty strange this season - I think that they should always be things like meeting the senator in the second episode. These are business people, so getting that kind of advice is exactly the kind of reward that they would want. In the past, Trump would hang out with the winners, but now if he's going to give the show more face time, it's going to be something like the shopping spree where he's promoting himself.
