I should have been more specific, I hated Inga's (name?) silk and tweed designs. Clintonbegone said that tonight's show had something to do with dogs. My niece would like that!
Sounds good to me. I just selected this one because it came up first in the search.
Pbear8, no sorta pun intended, right?
Actually it's what I call Capt. PBear at home.
Capt Pbear? LOL. Maybe you're my son-in-law. Or daughter. Lots of bear imagery and nicknames at their place. Don't think they follow Apprentice, however.
Tonight the teams get reassembled, should be interesting. I still do not have a favorite player, nor do I detest any single candidate. Last year was a bit more fun cuz I detested Omarosa and was pulling for Troy. But Bill was always there, not on camera much, but plugging away competently. Which leads me to believe that Jennifer is a sleeper candidate too, who may go to the end. Maybe.
Last year, I wagered that the last two candidates would be men, but I thought it would be Bill and Troy. This year? All bets are off, or not on yet.
I'm on the left coast, so am bailing this thread until the show is over, my time. Enjoy!
I keep telling Capt PBear to watch Jennifer and Kelly. Calm and smart both of them. It will be interesting to see the merger tonight.
Glad Stacy is gone. I swear that little witch should have been gone before Stacy J.
Well, I guess I failed to mention that I live about as far west as you can get in the lower 48! Won't see it for another hour yet.
LOL I thought you were done here until after the show. Consider that a typo. I meant Raj.
I, too, am glad that little Stacy went. She is, without a doubt, smart but loves to argue. Consequently, she has always been more of a distraction than anything else. Quite an ego too.
I thought this was a lame task though, more like a first week task. Looks like they ran out of ideas. The Saturday how should provide some more insight, but I don't think the decision was that hard.
Agree, the dog business was an idiot task, not much fun to watch. As much as I was glad to see Stacy voted out, I do think she had the best idea for the dog business, but couldn't figure out how to execute without spending too much money and wasting too much time arguing.
Polaroid photos of dogs and owners would have sold well enough to make some additional profit along with the grooming. They didn't need to buy expensive doggie outfits. Just plain day-in-the-park photos would have brought in some money as an adjunct to grooming. Maybe enough to have put them in contention .
If Stacy wanted to offer customers tricked-out dog photos, she could have gathered her team's hats and scarves and hair clips and neckties when she went back to the suite for the camera that was "just sitting there." I was cheering her on when she came up with the photo idea, but throwing stuff at the tv screen when she overlooked the obvious way to execute it. We have an annual dog-photo event in my hometown, and pay $25 to have our pooches photographed in "people" hats and shawls, some quite elegant. It's an event that's both fun and very easy to put together. Stacy's stubbornnes and argumentativeness caused her to overlook the obvious compromise, forget expensive dog suits, and improvise with items the team owned already or with inexpensive scarves, straw hats, and visors she could have bought from a street vendor. )Raj's bowties would have looked great on a pit bull..)
You should see the photo of my doggie girl with my big bright blue straw hat angled over one ear, a fluffy pink artificial flower attached to her ruff, and one front leg in a magenta long-sleeved tee, giving her that fashion-forward off-the-shoulder look. A totally impromptu outfit. She LOVED having those photos taken, gave her all to the camera. Doggie grrrrrrrls are such girls!
Stacy would have cleaned up for her team with her photo idea had she not insisted that the task get done exactly her way. There were so many possibilities. But her creativity got shut down by her nitpiking legalegalistic limited either-or thinking. And Wes was just as dumb. He showed some interest in the idea but failed to apply his own creativity (if any) to imagining a cheap way to accomplish it.
All in all, every single person on both teams except Stacy exhibited zero creativity. They were all so pedestrian in their conceptualizing, the show was boring. Whatever happened to working for big companies like Crest? And btw, that toothpaste they introduced, Vanilla Mint, is now being introduced by Crest, at least here on the left coast.
