She's like one of those Who Wants to Be a Millionaire contestants who will talk for 20 minutes to outline every possible detail of their thought process to arrive at an answer so that everyone will know how clever they think they are.

I can't stand her. She always harps about being the most creative person there, but I wonder if she even registered the fact that the execs said they didn't think her display was very creative.

1st = Kissing
2nd = fondling under the shirt
3rd = hand to pubis (or a finger bang, to use the parlance of our time)
4th = bang bang boom

It's like, they say "You've Earned It" is being pompous, but they're the ones who have called their cologne "Success."

I remember one instance, in the regular edition I think, where Trump cited the fact that the team wanted one player going forward as a reason for firing someone else.

I think the tipping point for Trump may have been the concise way Clay was able to explain why she might detract from a team. In all the previous instances of Dayana ending up in the boardroom, she was always the focus of the Lisa-Aubrey alliance hating her (and I'll throw in the time Lou Ferrigno picked her, since he…

Classic

As opposed to "It's been given to you" as a better message? I thought the point wasn't to brag about being better than the consumer, but to elevate the consumer's ego by equating themselves with Trump. As in, "I've earned the right to act like a Trump, even if I'm not there yet." Unless they think total losers won't…

I don't think you're off base. I've seen every season and this one in particular seems the most manufactured to me.

I think this season more than any other has exposed some of the cracks in the formula; namely, judging by Adam Carolla's postmortem, the degree to which the show's producer's will involve themselves in steering the direction of the tasks. This may also extend to PM selection.

assuming she already hasn't banged the Donald

Yeah, I don't get it either. This whole season has been filled with inexplicable results that would suggest the executives are either morons or the celebrities decide to leave the show and the boardroom is just a farce to give them an excuse to get out of there, and the whole "executives decide" angle is just a cover.

"So long story sort, the presentation of the game is getting self-aware
and meta. I anticipate that it won't be long before players justify
their actions not by making the smart "business" move, but by making the
smart "game" move."

second straight episode with some third-base action going on in a darkened room by the light of a projected film.

When Bert Cooper tells Don "it's his business," and really any time he appears in the office, I keep thinking back to the end of last season when he walked out on the place after Don's anti-tobacco letter. Obviously he reconsidered and came back, I just wonder if they will ever address how and why more explicitly.

The truth is, the Earned It slogan wasn't that bad (maybe it has different connotations for women, and within the context of this display may come off more as sexist, as if you win Miss Universe for being successful; but Trump himself said he didn't mind it, so go figure). And it certainly wasn't as detrimental to the…

The only bumpy spot for me in Smile Time is that Gregor sings in front of Lorne, but Lorne doesn't seem to read anything being wrong. I can only assume that's a result of the mystical mojo affecting the studio, but then it would seem that Lorne would be concerned that he couldn't read the guy.

I love that the Price of Lies is Nosferatu. Because why the hell not?

Melora is mainly notable as an example of what could have been. The concept of the Melora character — a crewmember from a low-gravity world — was originally intended to be the station's science officer instead of Dax. I think this episode is good evidence that the producers made the right choice not to make this a…

It's less strange if you think that the species isn't native to that planet; if their ancestors were stranded there or colonized that planet for some reason, over time evolution could cause their muscles to atrophy without them losing their humanoid shape. It's unlikely a humanoid species would evolve in such…
