Fight to the Finish

Previously: Eric Trump joined the show, which is apparently a big deal. Bret took risks (read: was creative), while Tenacity was boring and hated the only person on their team who wasn't (Cyndi). Bret and RockSolid won. Bland Summer was fired, even though Maria and Sharon hate Curtis. Now: Back in the champagne suite, Bret thinks Summer can't be fired, and then Holly is herself (a bitch) and asks Cyndi how she got out of the suite. She then interviews that it wasn't fair Cyndi got a "free pass." Dude, it's called being the only one on your team that the executives thought did anything worth anything. Cyndi goes on and on about how she can't throw herself under the bus because no one stands up for the gays. She bitches that it's okay to be a high stoner, but not to love someone else. It doesn't make sense, but then, it's Cyndi. She interviews that she basically hates Holly. Curtis comes in, and Holly's deflated, because her last follower is gone. Which is awesome. Maria interviews about how arrogant "pretty-boy Curtis" is. He toasts to Bret's charity, because he's so arrogant. That jerk! Maria looks irked. I don't get it. "Money, money, money" opening. Why is Cyndi on a swing and with long hair in her credits shots, while everyone else looks like they were filmed on the show?

New York skyline porn with some Superman-ish music as the teams head to Trump's apartment. Maybe since it was Bret's second win, we don't get to see him give the check from last week to the American Diabetes Association? Anyway, they all go on and on about the view, but Maria's not so much into the style. Curtis feels like he's a high roller at Caesar's Palace. Trump enters, and puts Curtis with Sharon and Maria, since Curtis told him maybe they don't like him since they haven't worked with him. Trump then tells them all that they're in one of the greatest apartments ever built. Even Trump's friend, Richard LeFrak, who's standing to him, likes the apartment. Or at least he tells Trump he does. This week, Richard and Don will be Trump's eyes and ears. The task: Each team will be given an apartment to refurbish, renovation and decorate (one room in celebrity style). Richard says the criteria are originality, celebrity style, ability to stage the apartment to improve value, and overall quality of the renovation. Trump asks Don who will be judging and Don says, "You're going to be judged by Lee Curtis, of..." Long pause until Trump says, "Bridgestreet." Then Don says the whole thing again, and Trump says the kid will never be his father. So, they could have just put the part where he says it correct in the show, but then Trump wouldn't look like such a badass. Project managers are Holly and Sharon. And the winning PM will get $20,000. Sharon really wants to win something for her charity after losing to Holly last time.

Tenacity. That would be Holly, Bret and Cyndi. OMG. I just realized Holly is totally outmatched now, with Bret and Cyndi. Yay. This will be such fun. They relieve the project manager moment, because Holly didn't really want to do it. Cyndi says she would do it, but Holly always has a problem with her when she does it. Holly says she has no problem doing it; she just needed to get in that "mindframe" [sic]. Then she interviews that she really wanted Cyndi to step up. They start to think up ideas. Cyndi likes '70s with a shag rug and eggs you sit in. Holly likes Zen. Bret says he likes both Holly and Cyndi, but it's such an awkward, back situation and is not going to be fun. Cyndi wants a disco ball in the kitchen or bathroom. Oh, this is hilarious.

RockSolid's already at their apartment. Curtis thinks this is a massive task that is going to take so much time. Sharon finds a tiny closet-sized room and they make that their celebrity media room. Maria and Sharon task Curtis with measuring stuff and Maria interviews that they don't like him, but they need him now. Curtis says they don't like him, but if they lose, it will be two against one in the boardroom, so they're going to win and> he's going to convince them to like him by the end of this task. I don't think he needs to do much convincing with Maria, who is obviously a twelve-year-old who's in love with him and pretending not to be.

Tenacity. They've chosen the Balinese style, which Bret's calling "New York Zen." Holly wants to play with colors that "evoke serenity and acceptance." Both terms she's not at all comfortable with. Every time Cyndi has an idea, Holly says, "No!" Holly interviews that this isn't her strongest crew, and she has no idea how the three of them will work together.

At RockSolid, Lee Curtis of Bridgestreet shows up and Curtis interviews about how Sharon hated the apartment but was soon as Lee walked in was like, "Lovely apartment!" Right, which is why she's good at business and this show. Lee fills them in on Bridgestreet, which specializes in furnished apartments for Fortune 500 clients who generally stay for a few weeks to several months. They want to make it easy for guests. Maria says it hit her that they need to give them everything a hotel has.

Then Lee's talking to Tenacity, and telling them the same thing: Give it a funk and a vibe that's very New York. He leaves them all to their work. Holly's picturing the celebrity room red, and wants it to be crazy so she lets Cyndi go crazy. Cyndi wants to make it cuckoo, since everything's been so conservative. Bret plays mediator and Holly interviews that she's impressed at how Bret works with her and Cyndi, actually, though she wasn't sure. They all go off to get furniture, tasks, and the paint's chosen.

RockSolid. All three are at the furniture store. Sharon wants modern and clean. Everything Maria suggests, Sharon hates and shoots down. Maria thinks they'll get criticized for not pushing it. Sharon's lived in twenty properties, so she knows how to decorate and she says Maria's just a kid. Then Sharon and Curtis connect because they seem to have the same taste in furniture. Sharon whispers to Curtis that Maria's got "truck-stop taste." Curtis interviews that he's never heard of truck-stop style, "But I understand what she means when she says it." I think we're all right there with him. Sharon sends Maria off to the paint store, and Maria interviews that Curtis is a Master Manipulator stealing her spot, which is what's bothered her about him from the beginning, she thinks.

Tenacity. Bret's in charge of the painters and the crew. He gets them going and then goes out on the balcony to take skyline pictures, so that he can put shots of New York all over the place, since Lee asked for it to have a New York vibe. He says he's in a New York state of mind, "with a cowboy hat, of course." Meanwhile, Holly and Cyndi are shopping at the prop store for Balinese accessories. They find a couple things, but then Cyndi finds disco balls and everything else she wanted. Holly says shopping with Cyndi is like shopping with her kids. Holly's sick of being conservative, and wants to let her freak flag fly. Holly keeps shooting her down.

In the RockSolid van, Sharon tells Curtis that Holly will go with an Asian theme, because that's what she's into, all Buddhas and stuff. Sharon calls the prop shop, and they tell her that Holly's doing Balinese. Sharon doesn't feel that theme is right for a corporate apartment. She thinks you need to be neutral.

Tenacity. Bret calls Holly and says he's a half-hour late for a concert, but he'll be back the day to help, even on no sleep. He tells her about the panoramic shots he took, and she loves it. She tells him she likes her on his team better than on the other team, and then she interviews he's so much stronger than she thought, and she's stressed about him leaving. Back at the furniture store, Cyndi finds all of the stuff for the rockstar lounge, and Holly says she's learning to love Cyndi and ride out her hurricane of creativity.

RockSolid. Curtis has an idea to call friends in the housing industry to hook them up with free stuff. They get about $10,000 worth of stuff. Sharon calls a good friend and gets free stuff from a different shop. They get $145,000 worth of free stuff there. Sharon offers Curtis a coffee and he interviews, "Would Sharon make a good sugar mama? Abso-bloody-lutely."

At the RockSolid apartment, Richard shows up to be eyes and ears and Maria's the only one there. She's worried that nothing's done, so she tries to distract him and explains what they're doing. Then she tells him what she doesn't like about their ideas so she's covered in the boardroom. Richard interviews he got a verbal description but nothing was done, so "they better hurry up."

Tenacity. Cyndi and Holly arrive back at the apartment and are loving the painting that Bret got started. So Holly feels like she can decorate. Cyndi once again carries all the furniture up and down the elevator. She says she had some fun, but worked really hard.

Maria's still alone at RockSolid, hoping they come back soon since she has a lot of questions and needs more help with painting. She says there's too much work for just her and these guys. As she's painting a wall purple, Sharon calls to tell her to change that wall to gray. Maria says they're running out of time to paint and might want to hire some painters. Curtis tells Sharon he can try to get some buddies to come help, and then he calls some and asks for help. Sharon calls her friends, too.

Tenacity. Don shows up to see how they're doing, and he can't believe how great of a mismatch it is between what Cyndi's doing in her room and what Holly's doing in the rest of the place. He likes that they're letting Cyndi run wild as Cyndi, but he says we'll have to wait and see what the judges think.

RockSolid. Sharon and Curtis show back up and can't believe how much painting is left to do. Curtis can't believe how little is done. Maria's trying to get a couple more people to come help, too. And finally people start showing up to help. Curtis says it was a jovial atmosphere, like in college painting a dorm room. They all drink, eat pizza, and destroy their clothes.

Back at Tenacity, Cyndi and Holly are getting along, but Cyndi's stressing about her creativity, and Holly's missing Bret. The painter (or someone; I don't know who he is) tells Holly they're in good shape, even though he was worried for awhile.

RockSolid. Curtis gets a call that there's another truck coming from the furniture store. She can't believe it, and Curtis says they got way too much stuff. So they'll have to go through everything and figure out what they're going to use, which Curtis says will take up even more time. And Sharon's not happy with the gray wall now. Maria says there's not time to change the wall colors. Curtis says there's so much work to do, and they're not even close to finished with painting, and it's Sharon's fault. He says it's a disaster. The day, Sharon and Curtis head back to the apartment, which is painted but a total mess of paint cans. Sharon says it's so daunting, but she goes ahead and makes their painters paint over the red wall, even though there's only six hours left. Curtis says everywhere he looks there's another wall that needs to be painted, and "this is quite possibly one of the most monumental fuckups that I've ever been involved in." He says there's just too much to do. Sharon heads downstairs and tries to get her bearings of what furniture to move up to the apartment, especially since the freight elevators are too small for a lot of what they got.

Tenacity. Bret shows up and gets the panoramic pictures, which he thought would take up a whole wall, but are, like, three feet. He tries to hide them so Holly doesn't see and then calls to see how quickly they can get bigger ones made. Meanwhile, Maria's shopping for a few last things at Bed Bath & Beyond. She loves that Curtis and Sharon are the ones doing manual labor. She runs into Holly and Cyndi at the store, where Holly's trying to keep Cyndi on task for curtains. Holly feels like Cyndi now listens to her and respects her, since they're married and decorating their apartment together. Cyndi tells someone at the store that she and her partner got this "little house" together and there's actually a guy involved too. Holly finally has to call Cyndi on the intercom, and she comes running. When did they become so likeable together?

RockSolid. Maria's back and is tasked with cleaning up a bathroom. Sharon and Curtis love the gray-over-red color Sharon created. They still have a ton of work to do, but they're ready to bring in furniture.

Tenacity. Two hours until presentation. Bret's thanking all the workers for their miracles. Holly's getting excited seeing it all come together. Cyndi's freaking out about a missing ottoman. Holly tries to calm her down, saying she's sure they'll find it and Bret tells her not to yell at people; no one stole it. But she is FREAKING out, yelling at everyone. Holly and Bret are both trying to calm Cyndi down so she doesn't piss off the workers. Holly finally has to stop her from disrespecting the workers who are trying to help them. Bret tells Holly he now completely understands her world, and she tells him to remember that in the boardroom.

RockSolid. They have under an hour to put all the furniture together without touching it on the wet paint. Someone shatters a picture frame. Curtis's focus is on the kitchen, so he takes the doors off a couple of cupboards to make it seem like there's more depth. He adds food to all of the beautiful equipment and says he loves the kitchen and would love to spend the day there.

Back at Tenacity, Bret helps Cyndi with her room a bit, and she loves it. She says she likes living in a fantasy world (no, really?!), and the room did come alive. Bret's on the phone, because the photos are down the street, as Holly's wiping up the floor and finishing things at the last second. The elevator doesn't work, so Bret runs down the eighteen flights of stairs. He gets the pictures and runs back up the eighteen flights. He says this is the payoff, though, to get New York on the wall in their New York Zen den.

RockSolid. It's full-on panic to get everything out of the apartment (and they seem to just be shoving it in the hall; I hope they're not judged on that). And someone's tracking paint all over the floor. Sharon thinks it looks amazing. Curtis says it could have been better, but it always could be and he's happy. Curtis hugs Maria, and she decides that they all bring something different and can be friends. They basically all would be happy to live there and have people over.

Tenacity's also done, and is also happy with what they did. It's all warm colors, but with cooler colors in the bathroom and bedroom and then wild colors in the rock 'n' roll Zen room.

Judging time. Lee Curtis and Jonathan Adler tour the apartment, and Holly narrates all about the place. She tells them that Bret took the photos, and they tell him he has a fallback if music doesn't work out. Then Cyndi shows her room and Jonathan Adler comments on how the patent leather couches would resist all the "juices" that come out on a wild celebrity night.

Then the judges show up at RockSolid. Sharon says their celebrity room was a struggle and an afterthought, but her goal was to make it all look modern and expensive. Curtis talks about the kitchen, and then Sharon talks about the rest of the place. Lee doesn't like that there's no dresser in the bedroom, but Sharon says she doesn't use them because they're old-fashioned. She interviews later, "Celebrities don't do that, Mr. Curtis!" Sharon says who knows, since it's down to personal taste on something like this.

Don talks to the judges about RockSolid. They liked it; it looked expensive, and had an appealing kitchen. They made the rooms look bigger by removing stuff. They thought the celebrity room seemed like an afterthought, and didn't like that they didn't have a dresser. They felt like Tenacity shrunk the space and that the colors didn't work and it looked cheap. They loved the celebrity room, though, and Bret's photos, which Lee would put up in his apartment. Don asks them who won, and they would have to agree ... that it's time for commercial. But, come on, they could barely come up with anything positive to say about Holly's tacky style. She's getting fired this week -- dare I hope?

Boardroom time. The final six walk in, where Richard and Don are waiting. Then Trump enters. He asks Holly how her team did. She thought they did phenomenally under the circumstances -- those being that Bret had to leave to do a concert. She says how helpful he was and that she didn't want him to go. Trump asks about Cyndi's performance. Holly thought she did terrific, though it was difficult to focus her. She says she could have used Bret to help wrangle Cyndi a little more. She liked the celebrity room, but when Trump asks if it would rent commercially, she says, "Perhaps, yeah. Depends on the client." Trump asks Bret about Holly as a project manager. He says it was tough in the beginning, but he thinks she was fantastic. Holly says she didn't want to be project manager, and when Trump asks who should have been, she says Cyndi. She starts going on about how she and Bret had each just won, and Cyndi didn't want to do it and just kept talking about how no one's looking out for the gays. Trump asks about that, and Cyndi say, "Okay. Gloves off." She says that Holly said she knew of the designer, and Cyndi didn't, and that when they went shopping, she had ideas so Holly didn't have to focus her. Trump asks what this has to do with gays, and both Holly and Cyndi are like, "No, no!" Don says he's trying to figure that out too, and the other team cracks up. Holly brings up Cyndi's charity, and then Trump asks if Holly got along with Cyndi on this task. Holly says she did kind of fall love with her on this task. Cyndi says she got a laugh, and Trump says he didn't see Holly as such a serious person.

Trump asks Sharon about her team, and she says they were fantastic. He asks how she got along with Curtis and she hugs him and says they love him. Maria leans in for a hug too. She's so awkward. I can't stand to watch her, because she's always just following what someone else is doing trying to fit in. It's sad. Anyway, Bret says he's getting jealous now, and laughs. Trump asks if he won them over, and Sharon says, "He's going to marry one of my daughters. He's going to cook for me at Christmas. We love him." Trump asks about why she didn't like Curtis, and she says she's a bigmouth old bat who has no tolerance, and who has to apologize for her bad behavior all the time. Curtis says he loved working with them, too, and had a lot of fun with Sharon. Trump asks who was better, and he says they both brought it in their own ways: Maria worked super hard and Sharon was very resourceful.

Trump asks Richard what the judges thought of RockSolid. They thought they did rock solid, that Curtis did an excellent job in the kitchen, that he and Sharon did an excellent job leveraging celebrity status to get about $150,000 in furnishings for the apartment. They loved it, but they thought the celebrity room fell short, that it was missing the wow factor and looked like an ordinary media room. Trump asks Don about Tenacity. He says the executives loved Bret's photos and thought he was a professional photographer. They liked the room separator, the Buddha, and Cyndi's celebrity room was great. They thought, though, that there was too much going on and the suite looked more cheap than Zen. Holly actually blanches when they say this, as if she's shocked. Cyndi rolls her eyes. They didn't like the sea foam green, which Don says was "pretty aggressive for a green." I'll spare you Trump's buildup to how much they liked one apartment. RockSolid wins. Both women kiss Curtis, and Richard says he's decided to double the prize this week to make it $40,000 for Sharon's charity, which is Cedars-Sinai Hospital Sharon Osbourne Colon Cancer Program. Trump congratulates her, and Sharon thanks Richard. RockSolid gets to leave, but somebody from Tenacity's going to be fired. After commercials.

RockSolid's up in the suite, congratulating Sharon. She says this is important for her personally because this hospital saved her life. Curtis asks if $40,000 means 40,000 colon cancer screenings and she says it does. She just wants to make people aware and be able to help them get checked out. They toast, and then turn to watch Trump fire someone. Back in the boardroom, Trump asks Holly if she's nervous, but she isn't particularly right now. Don doesn't like that answer. Trump asks Cyndi, and she says she's anxious and a little upset about everything. Trump says the executives felt strongly the other apartment was better, so he hopes she's not upset about being here wrongfully. She says no, it was something else, and she doesn't want to say but he tells her she has to fight for herself, so she does. She says that throughout this whole thing, she was schlepping and carrying furniture and doing all the grunt work. Trump asks why she didn't step up as project manager. She says she doesn't design houses, then Holly steps in and says that she isn't a designer or decorator either -- adding, weirdly since they just lost with her shit taste, "I mean, yeah, if someone shows me a fabulous Balinese bench, I'll say, 'Yeah, I like that.'" -- but that knowing who Jonathan Adler is doesn't mean she is Jonathan Adler.

Trump interrupts and says the executives really loved Cyndi's red room, and Don says she's a fashion icon, which is all a sense of style. Trump asks Holly why she, as project manager, shouldn't be fired. She says she came here to win, and he says Bret and Cyndi did that too. He tells her those are words, and that Goldberg came to win, too, and he got fired. Trump says she's a fighter, and Cyndi agrees she is, but says she's also a pain in the butt and no one can do anything but what she says. Holly says to wait a second, because when Cyndi was project manager, no one could "get a word out edgewise" [sic]. She says Cyndi was more than bossy and was disrespectful, and Bret saw it. Trump wants to hear what Bret has to say, since he missed a part of it and is under the radar. Bret wants to state the situation first, but Trump won't let him. He says Cyndi's room was the best, but "this is her rose and her thorn" (ugh!), she talks a lot and was rude to the guys working. Bret says Cyndi's fantastic, and he could hang with her every day, but she's like, "No you can't." Not anymore. Trump leaves Bret out of it, even though he hasn't given an answer yet. Trump asks Cyndi who he should fire, and she says Holly, because she's difficult. She says Holly's awesome and does everything. But she is difficult. Trump asks Holly why to fire Cyndi and she says she's difficult to direct and redirect. She says she is incredibly creative, but difficult to control.

Trump interrupts and says, "And yet she did the best room?" Holly says that's what she allowed Cyndi to do. Cyndi says, "There we go. Allowed. Allowed. That's how it's always been." Holly says that's what project manager do, "Honey." And would I ever punch someone in the face for calling me honey in an argument. Cyndi says it was that way even when she was project manager. Bret just shakes his head. Cyndi says that Holly told her to paint the room red, which Don tells her isn't a very good thing to say, tactically, giving Holly credit for the room. Cyndi says that Holly didn't say to paint the ceilings and closets. Back in the suite, Sharon says that Holly's trying to say that yes, Cyndi did a good room, but she's not a good team player. Maria says, "But she inspires so much." Trump asks Cyndi why she would say the red was Holly's idea, and Cyndi says she's honest. Trump says maybe too honest, since it's not lying not to say anything. Bret says he probably would have kept his mouth shut in that situation. Bret says that Holly had her hands full with two creative people who are hard to direct, and she didn't want to lead in the first place. She says that she stepped up when Cyndi wouldn't. But Trump says, to be fair, Cyndi did step up and did a room that was fantastic by everyone's standards. Holly says Cyndi ran everything by her, even though she had five other rooms to do. Cyndi says she helped with those rooms, too, and Holly says, "You undid stuff," which Cyndi says is bullshit. She gives examples of what she did: "This Buddha, Holly? Put some color in." Trump sends them out, while he speaks to Richard and Don. He says it's a tough decision. In the lobby, Bret says they obviously all want to stay, and they're all fighters. Which is a nice change, DARRYL STRAWBERRY.

After commercial, Bret thinks something's weird that they have been too easy on him and are never easy on him. He just hasn't put his finger on it yet. Back in the boardroom, Richard says he'd fire Bret for taking off in the middle of the task. Don says he was going to say Holly until Cyndi said Holly chose the color red, inspiring the best room. So now he thinks Cyndi. Trump thinks that's very interesting, and calls them back in. Trump asks Holly first who to fire, and she of course says Cyndi. Cyndi says Holly. But Holly goes on again about how Cyndi's been rude to people, and Trump basically gets Bret to admit it was more toughness than rude. Holly says she needs more honey in her than vinegar and there is an awesome shot of Cyndi looking down the table at Holly with a death glare. Trump reminds Holly that Cyndi did the best room, and Holly says it was her idea. Cyndi says, "Bullshit. You said 'red.' " Don tells Cyndi she told them the red was her idea. Cyndi says that she took the red and then said she'd had it up to here with conservative so went, "Let's have some fun, with patent leather, and whatnot." Holly says, "Yes, and I was right there with you." Cyndi asks if she's taking credit for her work, and Holly says she's taking credit for everything as project manager. Trump asks Cyndi if she should be fired, and she says no. They go back and forth, "YOU should be fired" over Bret.

Trump interrupts and tells Holly that whether she likes Cyndi or not, and she obviously doesn't... Holly interrupts and says she does like her but she's hard to work with. Trump says yeah, because she's creative, and all geniuses... Don interrupts that Trump's not easy to work for either. Trump says the most brilliant actors and actresses are the most difficult. Holly agrees, but says it was impossible with Cyndi being rude to people and Bret saw it too but is being all cool now. He says he's just listening, and then Trump asks Holly if Bret can keep up with the two of them. She says he could yesterday, but not now, and Trump tells Bret he's sort of sitting there, and Richard asked why not fire Bret, and Trump can't argue with that. Bret says he's very passionate and keeps his temper down because when it blows, it's awful. Trump says he's not as passionate as the other two, but Bret says he is. He tries to say he ran the eighteen flights of stairs. Trump says his passion doesn't compare to these two, and that Cyndi won in terms of the room, and Bret did nice photographs, but "photographs are photographs." Bret says he was time-managing, painting, taking photos out the window, running the stairs, and doesn't know what more he could have fit into the time period on two hours of sleep in forty-eight hours.

Trump asks Holly if she could see Bret being fired. Holly turns it back to Cyndi and says she'd never hire Cyndi to work for her. Trump asks Holly if Bret's as strong as Cyndi, and Holly says he was on that task but not here. Bret says he doesn't know what more he can say. He thinks Holly did a fantastic job, and the key that everyone is missing here is that Cyndi did one room, and he and Holly did five or six. Cyndi jumps in: "Bullshit! I helped her with every freaking room!" Richard loves it. Holly says they spent two or three hours in a prop house focusing on one room, which paid off in the end, but Holly says she allowed that and helped direct Cyndi with that. Holly says it was a difficult task in the time they had and she did the best they could.

Trump asks Bret if he has as much energy as these two. He says they both have a lot, but he has just as much. He didn't feel it was his place to jump into their discussion. But Trump says it is his place to jump in when Trump asks who he should fire, and he's like, "Oh, I love Holly so much. I love Cyndi so much. They're so great." Trump asks Bret who he should fire, and Bret says Cyndi. Trump asks why, and Bret says that he's not great with time management, but Cyndi's worse, and Holly did a better job of managing their time. Trump asks Holly if he should fire Bret, and she says no. Holly says that she didn't think Trump could factor in Bret not being there since there have been people gone all three times Holly's been project manager. She says that's been an issue every time, but she was surprised at how well Bret came through. "On the other hand, Cyndi's very difficult to deal with."

Trump tells Cyndi that, in all fairness, this is not the first time this has come up, and what he didn't like is that she told him that making the room red was Holly's idea. She says she was truthful, and Trump respects that she's truthful but says that not bringing it up would not have been untruthful. Don says the two things they liked were Bret's pictures and the red room and her giving up the red room... He says he respects her and thinks she's amazing, but why did she give up that it was Holly's idea? She says, "Because it was true," and Trump says, "Cyndi, you're fired." She looks disappointed, but then throws up her hands and says, "All right." Trump tells them to get out. Cyndi just says, "Bye-bye." And Bret tries to tell her he doesn't want to leave it like that and it's not personal, but she says it was personal to call out her time management. He's like, "Mine sucks," but she says it was like high school and tells him to have a nice life. I get that she's mad, but I hope she gets over that, because he really was trying to say it in as nice a way as he could, even throwing himself under the bus, too. To his own detriment, I might add. Back in the boardroom, Trump says that wasn't easy, and Richard and Don agree, but Don says you can't make tactical errors like that and make it through to the end. It does suck that it was a team of these three, who all clearly want to be here so much. I think they all wanted it more than the other three.

Taxicab confession: Cyndi doesn't think Trump made the right decision since it was Holly's apartment they didn't like and not her room. She thinks Holly talks out of both sides of her mouth and can flatter people, but then crushes them. She says let's see how it goes without her there. week: The final five get called right back to the boardroom, and he's going to fire one more, then Joan and Boyfriend Bill will interview the remaining four and Trump will fire two more. We get lots of Joan and Bill talking, then "You're fired. You're fired. You're fired." And Trump congratulates the final two.

Here's hoping that Donald takes our advice and casts some of these celebrities season.
