The Biggest Loser Season 9 Episode 17

With the others worried about breaking up the final pair, Sam was voted out in The Biggest Loser Season 9 Episode 16.

Sam and Sunshine say that Daris and Ashley are ridiculous and stupid. As upset as Koli is about what’s happened, it’s hard to take his point as anything but anger that a relative was voted out.

This week there will be no yellow line. Friendships and alliances won’t help. That makes the threesome pointless, eliminating gameplay at one of the game’s most pivotal moments. The person with the lowest percentage of weight loss will be below the red line and automatically eliminated, while everyone above it will automatically be in the final four.

Helen (winner of The Biggest Loser 7) and Erik (season 3 winner who gained it all back) have returned. Erik’s making an effort again and has dropped down to around 300 now. They break off with each of the contestants to answer their questions. It doesn’t end here at the ranch.

Bob senses some thick air, although the others are not wanting to jump at admitting it.

Regardless of having lost nearly 200 pounds, Michael’s still not in a good place. Either he gets over this, or he’s going to fall on his face and end up right back where he started. As he’s talking with Bob, he starts slamming and throwing things, storming out of the gym. This isn’t easy or fun. Well, hopefully that tantrum is out of his system and he’s ready to move on.

It’s the put the weight back on challenge, the exact same one from two seasons ago. At the top of each hill, they will remove the weight they gained for that given week. The challenge winner will get $10,000.

Sunshine: 97 pounds
Ashley: 136 pounds
Daris: 141 pounds
Koli: 159 pounds
Michael: 192 pounds

Daris and Sunshine jump out of the starting gates pretty quickly, with Koli on their heels. Michael can barely pull his weight when it’s on the ground, a reminder of just how miserable he was. Daris has opened up a nice lead over everybody else. It’s not even a question who’s going to end up winning this challenge. Sunshine and Koli are neck and neck placing second and third. They head back out to help Ashley and Michael as they lug their former weight through the course.

Bob brings the contestants shopping and to meeet Tony Romo, quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys. He’s apparently another spokesperson for Danskin Now and Starter. Once that commercial is over, they get to see videos of what they looked like when they first got there.

Michael gets to meet with Dr. H again. He takes a look at side by side picture of himself, noticing he no longer looks half dead. His know your number health scores have dropped down to 38 years from 54 and to 1% risk from 15%.

For the person with the highest percentage of weight loss, Curtis Stone will be visiting their home to help them keep losing weight.

Michael: 322 pounds (-12, 3.59%) – over 200 pounds lost
Koli: 231 pounds (-13, 5.33%)
Daris: 195 pounds (-10, -1, 5.37%) – over 150 pounds lost
Ashley: 231 pounds (-7, 2.94%)
Sunshine: 176 pounds (-2, 1.12%)

Having fallen below the red line, Sunshine is not The Biggest Loser. She’s no longer having to wear a men’s XL jersey and is tailgating the healthy way for the first time with grilled turkey burgers, grilled asparagus, fresh fruit, and a black bean salad. From her starting weight of 275, she is now down to 162.

The Celebrity Apprentice 3 Episode 9

As the losing project manager, Summer Sanders was eliminated in The Celebrity Apprentice 3 Episode 8.

Holly doesn’t like that Cyndi wasn’t fired. Not only is she stuck with Cyndi, but now she doesn’t have Summer to gang up on her.

Now we find out why Trump kept Curtis around. Sharon and Maria stuck their feet in their mouths, for whatever reason saying they didn’t like Curtis despite not having worked with him. Knowing that, Trump switches Curtis to RockSolid, and Bret moves to Tenacity. They get what they deserved, not that it’s necessarily a bad thing.

Richard LeFrak, who’s involved in real estate, will be Trump’s eyes and ears this week. Each team will be given an apartment to refurbish. The task that made Omarosa a D-lister. They are looking for originality, celebrity style, ability to stage the apartment to improve its value, and overall quality of the renovation. They will be judged by Lee Curtis of BridgeStreet Worldwide and celebrity designer Jonathan Adler.

Holly is project manager because neither of her teammates wants to be. Sharon Osbourne is the project manager for RockSolid.

Bret realizes he’s stepped into a bad situation with two people who don’t like anything the other has to say.

Curtis’ goal is to have Sharon and Maria like him by the end of the task. Either that, or they’re both going to gang up on him when they get to the boardroom.

Tenacity’s theme is New York zen. Serenity now.

Holly gives Cyndi the off the beaten path nutty room. She’s not sure about Bret but likes the way he’s managing both of them.

Sharon wants a modern clean look that will appeal to the executives they’re decorating for. Maria would like to push the envelope a bit, but Sharon dismisses her as just being a kid with “truck stop taste,” whatever that is. Maria’s dismissed to go pick up the paint and similar work, for which she blames Curtis, the master manipulator.

Bret is put in charge of the crew.

Cyndi’s going completely the opposite direction of Sharon. She wants to make it as freaky as possible. Holly’s apparently predictable, as Sharon was expecting her to do exactly what she’s done. They don’t need to be overly predictable, though, for Sharon to score the details. Sharon’s phone call with the prop place gets her all the info about what the other team is doing.

Bret’s leaving early to do a concert, but he will be returning the next day and be back without much sleep.

Curtis calls a bunch of his friends in the housewares industry and asks for some free stuff. They grab about $10k worth of stuff. Sharon does one better and calls up one of her friends, so she can get whatever she wants at a store, walking out with $140k of free stuff.

When Richard LeFrak shows up, Maria wants him to know she’s not fully onboard with her team’s plan. Either she’s covering herself, or she’s setting herself up as a fallguy for not being onboard.

Maria’s worried they’re not going to have enough time to paint, so everybody calls some more friends to help them out.

When Curtis and Sharon return, there’s not very much done, which Maria takes offense to since she says she’s done as much as she can get done. All their friends show up, and they have a painting party. They also got so much furniture, probably too much.

It’s approaching midnight, and Sharon is not happy with the wall color again. Maria originally started painting in purple. Then it got switched to grey.

The next morning, panic sets in when they realize how much they still have left to do.

Bret snapped a bunch of pictures of the skyline. He seems surprised that the pictures are way too small, but we’ve seen this happen before earlier in the season. He reorders them with some specs this time, and they show up before the day is over. With the elevator out, he’ll have to go 18 flights of steps with them, but nothing’s stopping him from adding his own touch to the apartment.

Cyndi’s having something of a meltdown, when she starts yelling at the workers helping them out. Holly wants Bret to remember this in the boardroom.

RockSolid had an expensive and huge looking apartment, but their celebrity room, which was just an afterthought for them, fell short. They also didn’t have a dresser. Tenacity shrunk the space because there was so much going on. It felt more cheap than zen. Their celebrity room was infinitely more celebrityesque.

Sharon and Maria have decided they love Curtis now.

Based on the comments thus far, it comes as no surprise that RockSolid has won. BridgeStreet will be doubling the prize for Sharon’s charity, and she will get $40,000 for Cedars Sinai Hospital Sharon Osbourne Colon Cancer Program.

Holly says she’s not particularly nervous right now.

Cyndi’s mad that she did all the grunt work. So why didn’t she step up as project manager? She may not be a designer, but neither are the other two.

Bret kind of dances around the answer, but gets to the point that Cyndi talks too much. Cyndi would fire Holly because she’s difficult. Holly would fire Cyndi, also because she’s difficult.

Bret’s surprised that they are being so easy on him. Something doesn’t feel quite right to him.

Richard would get rid of Bret, who wasn’t there for part of the task. Hardly fair seeing as Cyndi and Sharon have both done that. Don Jr. was going to say Holly until Cyndi said Holly gave her the inspiration for her part of the project (by saying she wanted a red room and letting Cyndi run with it from there).

Holly has to take credit for Cyndi’s room because she has to take credit for everything as the project manager. Hence, she also has to take blame for everything.

As the girls are tearing each other apart, Bret’s being quiet. Trump doesn’t like quiet. It’s not good TV.

Bret finally gives an answer who should be fired. Cyndi. Holly would not fire Bret.

Because Cyndi mentioned the red color being Holly’s idea, she is fired. As lame reasons for firing go, that’s sure up there. Holly has no problem walking away, but Cyndi won’t let Bret patch things up with her either.

The Amazing Race 16 Winner

Louie & Michael were eliminated in The Amazing Race 16 Episode 11, leaving us with a final three of Brent & Caite, Jet & Cord, and Dan & Jordan.

Teams depart in the order in which they arrived.

First: Brent & Caite – 2:37AM
Second: Jet & Cord – 3:11AM
Third: Dan & Jordan – 6:00AM

The race’s final destination is San Francisco, CA, more than 6000 miles away, where their next clue awaits at Battery Godfrey. The marked ticket counter opens at 10:45, so everybody will be on the same flight. The gameplay begins right away when Jordan tries to cut in line despite arriving 3 hours later than the cowboys.

On the plane, they make an actually logical move. Dan & Jordan move up to first class, which will allow them to be among the first people off the plane, giving them a much bigger jump than they could have gotten by trying to cheat.

The riddle they must solve is about Coit Tower, where they will find their next clue. Dan & Jordan ask a guy on a bicycle because people on bikes are generally smart. Jet & Cord know the answer because they got a guide book. As for Brent & Caite, they’re still lost with a cab driver who doesn’t seem to know any more than the foreign cab drivers did. Caite’s quickly becoming a raving lunatic, screaming at her cab driver and calling him a dumbass.

The road block is to climb Coit Tower using a mechanical ascender to go 120 feet straight up. Jet & Cord arrive just as Dan’s about to complete the road block. It’s looking like a two way battle for the win.

Road block (in order of arrival): Dan, Cord, Brent

Teams must find the Yoda fountain located in front of Lucasfilm. One team member will put on a motion capture suit while their partner directs them through levels in a virtual world. When they arrive, Cord decides to screw with Dan’s mind, directing his partner to hop, skip, and do ballet moves before he even has his headset on. By the time Cord begins for real, Dan & Jordan have completed level 1. After Dan & Jordan complete the next level, they have to read the clue, which is spinning across the screen at a high rate of speed, unless their partner spins to slow it down. The problem for Jet is that Dan’s standing still in the same spot where he needs to go. He doesn’t want to push him out of the way, but they find out he can get right up in his personal space and complete the first level. However, he is unable to advance any further. What a stupidly planned challenge, especially when the finish line is so close. Dan & Jordan manage to complete the task, so now Jet & Cord can actually proceed. After Jet & Cord complete the second level, Brent & Caite finally show up. It takes Cord a while to figure out why Jordan was spinning around in circles. During this time, Brent & Caite nearly manage to catch up.

The Tonga Room, one of the country’s first tiki bars, is the next stop. They must take the trunk to their next destination, The Great American Music Hall. In order to get their final clue of the race, teams must put the 11 psychadelic in the correct order of eliminated teams. Jordan wrote them all down, so this should be pretty easy. The cowboys don’t have it written down, but they get it done easily as well.

The finish line is located at Candlestick Park, and there’s no hope of any drama of how this is going to end, despite Dan & Jordan searching for a cab. It all came down to that last plane ride and one team being able to move forward to first class. The Amazing Race 16 winners are Dan & Jordan. Jet & Cord finish in second place, and Brent & Caite place third.

Apparently now would be the time to start/continue fighting, so Brandy says she doesn’t want to hear sorry or anything else from Caite.

The Amazing Race has already been renewed, and The Amazing Race 17 will air in the fall.

Survivor: Heroes Vs. Villains Episode 12

With Candice switching sides in Survivor: Heroes Vs. Villains Episode 11, Amanda was eliminated. Tonight there will be two immunity challenges, two tribal councils, and two more Survivors will meet their fate.

Jerri has decided that someone who would flip that easily is untrustworthy, and, therefore, useless to them now.

Rupert says the Heroes are now on a sinking ship. As if they weren’t on one before. This isn’t Candice’s fault. It’s the fault of everybody who was stupid enough to give Russell the hidden immunity idol.

Rupert and Colby aren’t talking to Russell. What game do they think they’re playing anyway?

We head off to the first immunity challenge, a familiar test of endurance. They will stand barefoot on a small wooden perch with their hand tethered to a bucket. Rupert previously competed in this challenge, lasting over an hour. At over 6 hours, Parvati won this challenge. The one new addition is the perch, which should cause feet pain to go along with that arm strain. A twist will be revealed at the end of the challenge. First temptation is offered at 1 minute. Sandra and Russell both want it without seeing it. They’ll be sharing cookies and milk. After 20 minutes, the next items up for grabs are donuts and an iced coffee. Not much in the way of protein in that snack, but it’ll taste good. Colby, who’s as in danger as anyone left standing, will take it. At 35 minutes, the next item is peanutbutter and jelly sandwiches, chips, a bowl of candy, and milk. Now that’s an interesting offer. Danielle, Candice, and Jerri will be sharing it. Wanting someone to outlast Rupert, they’re leaving it all in Parvati’s hands. Rupert stumbles after 1 hour and 10 minutes. Parvati wins immunity.

Rupert says he’s going home tonight and is done.

Jeff reads the hidden immunity idol clue out loud for all to hear. When they get to camp, everybody starts scrambling for the idol. Sandra finds it.

Rupert sticks a rock in his pocket, hoping people will believe he’s got the idol, or at least is just happy to see them. Russell falls for this immediately and wants to split the votes.

Parvati proposes splitting the votes, three for Colby and three for Rupert. Jerri would rather get rid of Candice. Knowing that Candice may get some votes, Colby and Rupert plan to join in on the anti-Candice vote.

Colby and Rupert take the opportunity at tribal council to whine some more about Candice flipping sides. Her defense is that she wasn’t going to down on a sinking ship, and her vote was not the final nail in the coffin of the eye rolling Amanda. A fair defense.

No hidden immunity idols or rocks are played.

With 5 votes, Candice has accidentally been voted off the island. Poor move by the Villains listening to Jerri about sending votes Candice’s way, but quite the interesting play by Colby and Rupert, who may not be as dumb as they have appeared thus far (okay, they probably are).

Russell calls this a terrible decision, and he blames the girls. What he does finally realize is that he’s no longer in control of the game, or at least he says he’s only half in control with Parvati.

Now it’s time for another immunity challenge. Each person will dig up a peg and get it through a table maze. The first 5 move to the next round, where they will use pegs to get to the top of a climbing wall. The first 3 will go to the final round, where they must solve a slide puzzle. Rupert, Sandra, Russell, Parvati, and Danielle advance to the second round. Russell, Rupert, and Parvati will compete in the final round. I’m not so sure any of them are any good at puzzles. Russell wins immunity.

Russell doesn’t like that Parvati and Danielle are a team, so he’d like to break up that couple. He tells Danielle that he wants to get rid of Parvati, and he tells Parvati that Danielle wants to get rid of her. He assumes they’re not going to talk to each other. Once he finds out that Parvati wants to talk to Danielle, he warns her that her game’s going to be over if she does that.

Seeing the girls talking, Russell has decided he wants to get rid of Danielle tonight. Colby and Rupert will be easy to get onboard. Then he tells Jerri that, if they don’t get rid of Danielle, she’s next.

The others are all still talking Rupert. With Russell wearing the immunity necklace, they can’t flush out the snake.

Danielle’s explanation to Jeff for the events of the day: just a miscommunication. After the truth comes out and Danielle says she’s in a three-way alliance since the beginning with Parvati and Russell, Danielle starts crying. And by the way, she’s closer to Parvati than Russell thinks. Holy excessive honesty.

Wow. By a vote of 4-3, Danielle has been voted off the island. Russell I’m not surprised by because these random senseless acts are his trademark, but I’m totally confused what the heck Jerri’s plan is here. Granted, this is the same person who flipped to take out the strongest members of her tribe, thereby sinking their dominance.

American Idol Season 9 Episode 37

The top 5 performed in American Idol Season 9 Episode 36. Tonight one more will be sent home.

Lee DeWyze stands up first. Unsurpisingly, he is safe. Everybody else is arguably fair game. Knowing that, the producers give us half an hour of filler immediately afterward.

Crystal Bowersox goes next. She starts a group on the far side of the stage. Casey James joins her.

Michael Lynche starts a second group on the near side of the stage. Aaron Kelly joins her.

If Lee had to choose… he’s not going to.

Mike and Aaron are the bottom two. Somehow, Casey is not. Weird.

Aaron Kelly has been eliminated.

American Idol Season 9 Episode 36

Having been accused by Simon of sounding like she was giving birth the night before, Siobhan Magnus was sent home in American Idol Season 9 Episode 35. Tonight the top 5 perform the songs of Frank Sinatra with mentor Harry Connick, Jr. I’m a little scared.

Aaron Kelly
Song: Fly Me to the Moon
Randy: Really good job.
Ellen: Felt like you really pulled that off. Beautiful vocals.
Kara: Good. Not as strong as last week. You’ll be here again.
Simon: If Frank was a lion, you were just a mouse. But people like you because you try hard.

Casey James
Song: Blue Skies
Randy: Your worst performance. Pitchy until maybe the last note maybe.
Ellen: Very stiff.
Kara: Took a long time to warm up. At least you held some notes for longer than two seconds, but kinda sound like a lamb.
Simon: Not fantastic. Awkward.

Crystal Bowersox
Song: Summer Wind
Randy: Okay but a little sleepy.
Ellen: Wanted to see a little more. So many different sides and so impressive.
Kara: Kind of liked it. Liked your phrasing.
Simon: A little indulgent. First half was too jazzy. Second half got a lot better. Two okay weeks.

Michael Lynche
Song: The Way You Look Tonight
Randy: Mike is in it to win it.
Ellen: Seem to have the most comfort on stage. Looked and sounded the part.
Kara: Found the journey in the song and didn’t lose yourself.
Simon: All just clicked.

Lee DeWyze
Song: That’s Life
Randy: Stayed your rocker self.
Ellen: If this was the last night of performances, you would have just won this whole thing.
Kara: Go home tonight and write “I can win this thing” 100 times.
Simon: Harry brought out your personality and confidence. By far the best performance of the night.

The Biggest Loser Season 9 Episode 16

When Sunshine and O’Neal fell below the yellow line together in The Biggest Loser Season 9 Episode 15, she (some would say selfishly) begged to stay, and her father willingly fell on the sword for her and was sent home.

It’s makeover week. There are two limos waiting to take them shopping, and each person will be getting $1000.

Sam is no longer wearing an XXXXXX. He’s shopping for L’s now. Sunshine is unable to fit into clothes in the big and tall store (or whatever they call it for women) because they don’t have anything lower than size 12. Even after 183 pounds, Michael still has to to go the specialty store, frustrated trying to find stuff that can fit.

After they go shopping, they meet with Jonathan Antin from Shear Genius. Michael’s getting ready to lose a couple pounds in the chair. Daris has enough hair to trim that he can donate some to Locks of Love. And they get to (mostly) shave off everybody’s unfortunate facial hair as well.

Following their makeovers, they get to meet up with their families. Although this happens every season, everybody always seems so surprised. From there, they head with their families to a comfy show, with a live performance by Ashanti, who from what we’re told is an actress/singer/songwriter/etc. who used to sell a lot of albums.

Now that the makeover’s done, it’s time to get dirty. They see Jacobs Ladders suspended above a pool. They’ll continue to climb their ladders until they make a splash. Reward is a 1 pound advantage. First person to fall in gets a 1 pound disadvantage. Ashley’s a rung behind everybody else, and she is the first person to fall in the water after 3.5 minutes. Michael falls in at 5 minutes. Everybody else just keeps going and going. Sunshine starts to fall behind and drops at 45 minutes. That leaves grey team against Daris again. At 55 minutes, Sam falls, spoiling the tag team hopes. Both Daris and Koli say they’re feeling comfortable now. 80 minutes. 90 minutes. 2 hours. Still going. Then another 15 minutes. And another. Ali’s about ready to order out for pizza, or Subway. After 2.5 hours, Daris says “Ah, screw it,” and Koli wins the challenge.

Bob finds it unacceptable that Daris just quit the challenge, although he was physically able to continue. This is like tripping at the 1 yard line. Wanting to teach him a lesson, Bob beats him at the last chance workout, telling him to not worry about any pain or any falling off a rapidly moving treadmill.

Koli: 244 pounds (-15, -1, 6.18%) – over 150 pounds lost
Michael: 334 pounds (-9, 2.62%)
Daris: 205 pounds (-9, 4.21%)
Sunshine: 178 pounds (-9, 4.81%)
Sam: 238 pounds (-2, 0.83%)
Ashley: 238 pounds (-10, +1, 3.63%) – 136 pounds lost, a new female on campus record

That puts Michael and Sam below the yellow line. An interesting decision. Michael’s one of the biggest threats there, but he’s going to give an emotional “I need to be here” plea, as if the others don’t. As a firstish time offender, I’ll go easy on him, though. That said, everybody knows Sam isn’t going to win, but the two grey shirts double teaming them is starting to frustrate some people. Sam might be guaranteed easy pickings in the finale, but he’s also a free vote for Koli (and vice versa).

Votes
Koli: Michael
Sunshine: Michael
Ashley: Sam
Daris: Sam

In the event of a tie, the person with the lowest percentage of weight loss is eliminated. With 2 votes, Sam is not The Biggest Loser. From his starting weight of 372 pounds, Sam is now down to 236 pounds. He’s not trying to lose any more weight, having already reached his goal weight. He’s also found himself a new roommate, Stephanie from earlier this season.

The Celebrity Apprentice 3 Episode 8

Departing from the usual firing someone just because it’s fun and they’re not entertaining enough for TV, Trump opted to fire nobody in The Celebrity Apprentice 3 Episode 7.

Clockwork Home Services has a task for three radio commercials, one for each of their brands. They will be judged on originality, brand integration, and live performance of the commercials.

Bret Michaels is the project manager for RockSolid; Summer Sanders is the project manager for Tenacity.

This week somebody will be fired, perhaps two people.

Eric Trump will be joining Ivanka this week. Just when you thought the shameless parade of Trumps was over.

RockSolid’s focus is the same as it was last week: off task perversion.

Cyndi is assigned to lyrics and music. Summer and Holly again plan to gang up on her.

Upon arrival, Bret takes their signs and puts them in their room, then he accidentally turns the other team’s around so they’re facing the wall.

The executives tell Tenacity humor can be okay, as long as it’s not at the expense of their plumbers. They decide the key is not to go too far outside the box.

RockSolid also wants to know about humor. The executives are very corporate and not laughing at all. This should be some indication to them that they’re gonna have to restrain themselves.

Summer assigns one commercial to each of her subordinates. Then she gives Cyndi a lecture. Curtis senses a different vibe with Tenacity because Holly and Summer can be bitches.

Bret has a different strategy. They will all work on all three commercials.

Curtis is out of his element. Jingles aren’t exactly his strong suit.

Bret is considering a jingle about plumbers’ cracks, apparently the wrong way to go because these execs made it known they didn’t like jokes like that.

Summer intends to jam as much information as possible into their commercials, whether it’s too fast or not.

Curtis fears his team is too vanilla. But Holly and Summer are taking the same stance as Sharon: these execs are looking for bland. Girls don’t wanna have fun.

Although she’d probably prefer not to, Summer defers the band to Cyndi. She’s horrified that she is writing jingles, but it does sound catchy. Though she does a good job of working with the band, Grammy winning singer Cyndi Lauper decides her voice is not up to par, so she asks one of the other singers to take her place.

Eric thinks that Tenacity sounds a little bit generic, but at least they’re not making jokes about cracks.

Bret is feeling limited by the live ad, which nobody does. The simpler the better because otherwise it’ll be too easy to mess up.

The next morning, Cyndi has changed her mind. She’d like to sing. Holly wouldn’t allow this if she were project manager, which she manages to convince Summer about. Curtis thinks giving up on using Cyndi’s voice is crazy. After going back and forth, Summer finally decides the correct path is to allow Cyndi to sing.

After hearing Bret’s crack joke, the executives are disappointed. He took it to the edge and came back… perhaps he should have come back a step further. The other team has more suitable humor, but as Curtis feared, they’re copy heavy and rush through the information.

The executives also didn’t particularly care for Bret’s hot and sticky heating commercial, which he felt was their most liberal. But there was one ad that could be put on the air of the three, with its very catchy jingle that made the phone number easy to remember.

On the other side, they felt they packed too much information into the commercials, and they thought they lacked originality. However, they did like hearing Cyndi sing.

One team was okay at best, while one team was fantastic. RockSolid has won. As the winning project manager, Bret gets $20,000 from Trump and a matching $20,000 from Clockwork for his charity, the American Diabetes Association.

Bret says he would fire Summer because she’s tough. Sharon and Maria want to fire the very smug Curtis.

Eric felt that Cyndi carried the team, whereas Holly seemed a bit reserved. Holly says that Summer is the strongest person on the team, despite the fact that she delegated so much. Of the three commercials, Summer thought that Cyndi’s commercial was the best. The execs just wished they heard more from Cyndi.

Curtis would fire the project manager.

Summer has to decide who should not be fired. Holly should not be fired because she is consistent. Not the smartest move. As much as Summer would like to get rid of Cyndi, it’s not happening on this task.

Trump would have preferred that Curtis fought back against Sharon and Maria. We all know how Trump likes his drama. Curtis didn’t think it would be appropriate to start screaming across the table at people who were jokingly tearing him down.

If she had the choice, Summer would fire Curtis, if Trump weren’t to fire her. Cyndi will not be fired and can go back to the suite.

Curtis would have been edgier, but at the end of the day, the decisions came down to Summer.

As the project manager, who has failed to give a very strong argument for why she should stay, Summer has been fired.
