SPOILERS!! Stop reading if you don't want to know







































Joan and Melissa left together. Its unclear at present if Joan will be back but in the past she has said she would leave if Melissa was sent packing. I think her parting remarks to Annie concerning her being a poker player were inappropriate.

Melissa was very very emotional over this. She predicted this outcome accurately. She might have been able to fight harder but in the end whether Annie played her or not Melissa was fired. I don't really have a problem with Annie playing The Game. If she feels she has a better chance of beating Brandi than Melissa then she did what was in her best interests.

Funny how there was such strife in Kotu yet they still won. Jesse was man enough to shake Clint's hand after they won. Interesting to see how Jesse and Clint work together now.

I recorded it, don't know when I'll get a chance to watch it. But I'm sure Joan will return...

We will see!

Annie Duke's an idiot!!!!

I loved Joan's confessionsal.....when Annie Duke gets older and she needs a face lift....she'll need 2 doctors......

I felt bad for Melissa....she's done a great job so far.....and while Brande has done some good things........Melissa was better....and I agree....they left her out of a lot of stuff.....so she shouldn't have been fired lkast night.....it should have been Brande but we know Trump likes the "pretty ones"........Brande & her boobs get to stay another week...and Annie knows ahe has a better shot of beating Brande than Melissa.......she is playing this like a poker game......

Yes she is and I can respect Annie's game play for that. Now do I agree that Melissa has done a good job, yes. But she was outplayed. there's a reason Annie's a top poker player.

A bit like survivor, only tribal council is in the board room. The one who gets voted out is not usually the one who should and who you want to see go. Then there are the blindsides.....

I'm shocked...I was sure Trump wanted an all-Rivers final.

Joan leaving with Melissa was ridiculous. Didn't it ever occur to her that this is an individual competition, and one of them would leave before the other?! Grow up. Those two women have mental problems.

(And yes, I like Annie!)

They made such a big show of Joan leaving...I think she'll be back to get revenge for her daughter's ouster.

Melissa is a big fat baby. Grow up already. What a poor sport. She refused to give and interview and I believe she said she would not be at the final. Even Dennis behaved better than her. He was humiliated in the boardroom but still gave his interview and admitted his problem.

to Joan. Go home please. All the respect I had gained for her this episode was Lost at the end.


Jesse really surprised me with his anger at Clint. Funny I think Jessie's idea was editorial but with so little product placement they would have Lost. Clint listened and took the best parts of Jesse's idea and made it work. I did agree with both Joan and Jesse that there was way too much orange. All that fire. And yet the execs seemed to like it.

Count this as the second lamest firing of the season (behind Khloe and the DUI). Melissa was fired for one reason and that is because she was #3 on the fund raising. She was a better worker than either of the other two, and should not have been let go.

I missed this episode, but would've LOVED to see the Rivers gals exit!

Wow, Melissa and Joan really brought the crazy last night - it was great TV! I thought Melissa was unfairly fired and I knew *Joan* wasn't going to take it well, but I was not expecting Melissa to sprint from the boardroom, run around like a chicken with its head cut off *and* a bum foot, and shout obscenities at the crew. That was quite an exit.

I agree it was~~~"great tv"!

Agree! Next Celebrity Apprentice they need to make sure that their contestants have really rich friends, so they could bug the friends to buy a 10,000 cupcake.

Plus I feel that the other two girls, left her out of most of challenge. They hardly gave her anything to do.

I feel Joan did over-react, but I really don't blame her for blowing up, esp. given the reason was she didn't raise enough money. Melissa doesn't have the ties with rich people that all the other contestants have. I thought her firing was just bunk!

Melissa is an idiot and has been throughout the show, I honestly haven't seen her work overly hard, she has done as she stated, she tried to put some ideas out there, they stunk, so she fell in line a did what she was expected to do.

Her and her mother are extremely judgemental and paranoid and have been throughout the show.

Every show Joan was this and that about someone and maybe sometwo or three people and how they were conspiring to get rid of Melissia ... sorry but I just never saw the conspiring part... some of her commentaries were on the money some not, but the paranoia was definetly not there...

But the way they left tonight to me was a total shocker.. grow up!

Oh I don't think Joan will be back... Yep Annie has played a good game in terms of positioning herself, but quite frankly I think she has also been the strongest player most of the times.

I also really like jesse, and I think that's gonna be the last two standing... jesse, and Annie.


But the thing that did amaze me is both the other girls were stupid, Duke is a strong force and they easily could have had her head on the chopping board tonight since it was mostly Annie's efforts that Lost the task...

Ok I've ventured out to other parts of zappy, now I'll go back to my debate boards....lol

I love Melissa and Joan and thought Melissa's being fired was ridiculous. The other two absolutely shut her out and not just this week, but the past one or two weeks as well. I don't think it was a conspiracy to get rid of her, but just because they didn't like her. However, I've got to say I was a bit disappointed at how Melissa and Joan left like they did. I hope Joan will come back.

Annie, as much as I dislike her, is probably the frontrunner along with Jesse, as someone earlier said. They would be a deserving final two. But, Lord knows that if they are, I'm rooting for Jesse!!

I agree with another earlier post too, Joan's joke about Annie needing TWO doctors for a facelift made me LOL!!!!!

I cannot root for Jesse. The way he acted last night toward Clint Lost major points for me.

That's true. I guess I've disliked Annie for so long that I forgot about that. LOL.

I mean going into last night's show, I was rooting for Jesse or Joan. Joan went over the line last week with the Hitler comment, but she's been a very admirable contestant. Jesse had it all, but then he didn't play team with Clint. I thought Clint's explanation about how Jesse wanted it to be 100% his ideas was very telling.

YouTube is a great invention.



I think the best part is Trump, Ivanka, and Cramer hunkered down in the boardroom as they hear Melissa ranting outside. LOL

As for the way Joan and Melissa acted, I think it was uncalled for. What a pair of spoiled brats. Joan has never been a nice person constantly name-calling for weeks, and Melissa never really did anything other than leech off her mom. I found her extreme outrage to be false.

^^^^Thanks Brent, I still haven't watched it yet, still sitting on my DVR, I'll watch it tomorrow. YouTube is a great invention.

Clint IS a major a** hence no vote there. I was just disappointed in Jesse for not playing for the team.

This definitely was an episode to watch and I am glad I did.
Drama, comedy, feelings hurt, cussing.. all in one night!! LOL

I am not sure if Joan will be back, I hope she does, she is hilarious! I think she is the only one who says what everybody is thinking but is afraid to say it out loud.

Yes, Trump loves the blonde but she should have been fired. I don't care how much $$ she has brought, she was in charge of the task that Lost and let Annie take over, plain and simple. Annie is good at her and Jesse is rude. Does he ever smile???? He looks pissed all the time.

Joan trying to dis Annie for being a "pokah playah!" Well Joan, you're a washed up stand-up comic whose daughter--to quote a Simpsons episode--is "not talented"!

Now that is a "viral video."

LOL, yeah, I loved the way she said "pokah playah"

I agreed with Jesse. The final product did look bad to me, and I think Clint was lucky to win. Maybe if he hadn't been such a stubborn donkey in the past about sticking to his ideas, he might have been able to use Jesse's ideas, add in better product placement, and make an ad everyone would have been happy with. Even the executives from Right Guard mentioned a weakness in Clint's ad that would have been covered by Jesse's original idea...not that it matters now, since Clint won anyway.

What does matter though, is can these two men work together after all that and win against those vipers? They'd better be able to because I'd love to see Annie lose and lose BIG!

In that, we're in total agreement, Springlady. Lose big Annie! I gotta think it is a Joan vs. Annie finals.

Lose, Annie, LOSE!!!!

I'm afraid you're probably right. Piers won, and it wasn't by being a nice guy.

I hope Annie loses also. I like Brande the best at this point.

Just watch this episode tonight and I have to agree, I think it will be an Annie win.

I finally finished watching it too Barbie! These 2 hour episodes are killing me with all of the filler!

I had seen on line that Melissa was fired & saw the clip on The Soup of her running through the apt. & swearing etc. but hadn't heard that Joan left too. I haven't watched last night's episode yet, so I don't know (and don't want to know ) whether Joan came back.

I was disappointed with Jesse's attitude since he has been one of my favorites, but I'm thinking that it has something to do with how Clint is as a project manager...other pm's haven't used all of Jesse's ideas & he hasn't been blatantly rude to them...so I'm going to give Jesse the benefit of the doubt (for now)!

Lurkie, these 2 hours are killing me too, I recorded last's night ep and still have yet to watch it, unfortunately, I know the outcome! My bad, I went to Zappy's front page and read the recap....

Don't bet the farm yet, folks!

and I'm in Orange County!
