Episode Report Card Miss Alli: B- | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT All up in your grill
By Miss Alli | Season 2 | Episode 5 | Aired on 10.06.2004
Inside, a lonely Pamela shoots hoops on the indoor court. In an interview, she explains that although it may be "self-involved," she genuinely believes that the women of Apex wanted strong leadership for this task. Apparently, Pamela is under the mistaken impression that the women want to win, as opposed to wanting to have more things to complain about. Which, come to think of it, would mean they actually would want strong leadership after all, because what's better to complain about than someone who does something you aren't capable of doing? She tells us that although she doesn't mean to be cocky, she doesn't think she will be fired. (Sound of nail being driven into coffin.) She says she just thinks that she knows herself and what she's capable of, and she believes she's more qualified than some of the other women on the team. (Nail.) As if that has anything to do with it. She expects them to "go under more heavy fire" than she will. "It's just the way it goes," she says. Oh, Pamela. (Nail.)
New York night porn. The elevator doors open, and the women walk toward the Boardroom. Inside, they meet up with Carolyn and George, and then Trump joins them. Remarkably, Trump is wearing a very tame striped tie. He's getting so corporate, Donald Trump. As soon as he comes in, Trump starts picking on Pamela. He brings up her education at Harvard and Wharton, and points out that this is another loss for her. "We tied," Pamela says. Oh, I suspect that is a misstep. Trump is not going to want to hear that. He insists that they did not tie, they lost by $10, though he admits that that isn't very much. He asked her what happened, and rather than answer the question, which is what she ought to do, she repeats that to her, it's not a loss. It's a tie. I don't think that was such a terrible thing to do the first time, because they're never going to see such a close result again, probably, but it's a very bad idea that she returns to it the second time. George jumps right in. He tells her in a very harsh tone that if you are bidding on a building, and he missed the bid by $10, they wouldn't get the building. So to him, it's ridiculous to say they tied. Of course, I would love to see the last bid that George lost by $10, but that's not really the point. I understand what he's saying, and she made a very bad decision by pushing it, but she's also right that for all intents and purposes, the teams performed the same. Stacy also smirks right here, which makes me want to hit her even more than usual, and makes me want to agree with Pamela.
