Not much to say, but I DO NOT AGREE with Trump's decision in the double elimination on CBs team.

I agree with you BL.

I missed the begining of the show, what happened to Brian McNight? Did I miss a week?

I checked out the Melissa and Joan's All comercial, Melissa's was cute!

I think firing her because of a DUI she's trying to take responsibility for is just not right. I suppose he had no reason so this is waht he decided upon.

A DUI is bad, very bad. But she says she has changed. I think she deserved a chance to prove that she had. If she would have had two DUI's, then perhaps fire her.

And I want to add, I am so sick of Clint Black, I may follow Joan's lead and throw all of his music out of my House. Which would consist of ONE itune song. Not exactly a big statement, I guess. haha.

That was a weird episode! I thought Athena's commercial was hilarious with Jesse, although I can understand it would be offensive to little people.

I had a problem with both Clint and Joan. Clint for not listening to anyone, and Joan for going off like a lunatic instead of talking like a normal person. (I guess that's just her way. *lol*)

Was not expecting Tionne and Khloe to be fired. Strange reasoning on both sides. (I could actually see Trump firing Khloe or Natalie, but the reason would be that they just sat there during the project, and didn't stand up to Clint.)

Those were the most pointless firings ever. I'm still confused. It makes no sense. I'm also Lost on what the task was. Did they want a viral video or an ad for the product? Because the two do not go together. Awful idea for a task. Kotu's "commercial" was absolutely terrible in all respects and I think what killed Athena's was the cursing at the end.

But the reasons for the firings was beyond words. How could Trump not know about Khloe's DUI? and Tionne's was completely stupid.

Clint and Joan were both idiots.

Not much more I can add, but I do agree with all of you. I was very surprised that Tionne and Khloe were fired. Doesn't do much for Khloe's confidence. Her first DUI and she is trying, and Brent yah, there is no way Trump didn't know before he brought her on the show. I feel like I just Lost 2 hours.

this episode actually makes me really dislike Donald trump!

Kotu's video idea was actually not bad, IMO, unfortunately a good idea was overdone. If I had seen the commercial one time, I would probably find it amusing, but too much of it would make me sick... and Clint just would not let his idea go. I also thought that Herschel's idea to add the thought bubbles was a terrible idea and only made the ads worst!!

Athena's ad was Great!! it worked perfectly and was fun to watch... and they didn't go overboard with the idea.

The main problem is with these viral videos was that the product they were advertising and the demographic do not belong in a viral video!! So the task was not created properly whatsoever.

Tionne's firing was just plain rude!! No one on that team should have been fired this week... he should have exempted the whole team from the boardroom like he did to one of the teams last season! Tionne not only wasn't given a fair chance to speak her mind, but she has done an excellent job in the past.

Khloe-- Now this is what makes me REALLY dislike Donald Trump. If her DUI was such a big problem for him, he shouldn't be firing her on camera it should be a behind the scenes thing. To me it looked like a firing that was meant to humiliate Chloe and to save Clint Black. I believe people deserve second chances at things... and making her feel bad for something she has done wrong is not helping her move forward! Shame on you Donald Trump... that shows a huge amount of ignorance on your part!! What an ass!!

I have to admit, I found the idea funny at first(but then again I'm a 20-year-old guy, anything with sexual innuendo is funny), and I'm not in the demographic they were going after(which presents another problem) but after the exec meeting I knew they were going the wrong way, and it only got worse when Clint shut out the rest of the team and then when he decided to be the man in the video. It was so stupid, and the bubbles did make it worse(if that was even possible).

My problem with the execs is they were too vague and didn't seem to know what they want(they wouldn't even speak up about what would be considered offensive). I found it odd when they wouldn't call the target "mothers" and instead "women with childen" and I also don't know any viral videos that were also advertising a product. They are usually random.

I agree with everyone. The firing of Khloe was unwarranted. Does she have to wear a scarlet letter on her chest for the rest of her life? What would Trump have said about Rodman if he had been convicted of a DUI? I doubt the same treatment would have been given to him. Stupid, stupid, stupid. As for Tionne, that was unmerited but I do remember Trump hates volunteers when it comes to going into the boardroom or even taking blame. he wants people to fight. But Tionne was excellent last week..!

As for the commercials, I feel they really missed the boat on the demographics. yes, the company reps were a bit vague but the product is a laundry detergent and the target sales are usually women who do the choosing. Athena had the best commercial but the swearing at the end was a bad thought and it could have worked if they had just been able to skewer it a bit towards women.

Kotu had a horrible idea and the whole team was a train wreck. I have a big problem listening to Joan go on and on and on and on and on.......she just never shuts up. I don't find her that funny as a comedienne and just want her to stop talking and let someone else get a few sentences in. That said, Clint screwed up and he should have been eliminated tonight.
