Truthfully, I didn’t like either campaign. Thanks to Piers Morgan’s British charm—which seems to only appear when he is presenting—Carol Alt’s campaign was well delivered, but so much like some of the other campaigns I’ve seen in magazines. The last photo was not necessary and the male model was too young. Tito Ortiz’s presentation lacked finesse, his advertisement had no story and little information, but did have beautiful photography.
Omarosa is up to the same old games: lying, avoiding responsibility and placing blame. This episode reminds me of the season one finale when she lied to Kwame Jackson. She seems to forget that she is in a reality show where cameras catch everything. I can only imagine that Donald Trump wants to keep her around for the non-stop Oma drama.
I was bothered to see everyone point the finger at Stephen Baldwin. He was the only one who stepped up to the plate and took control. It’s usually Trace Adkins that comes up with the big ideas, but perhaps he was thrown off because he was the focus of the advertisement. He is still my favorite.
I laughed the hardest when I heard Omarosa claim that she felt her voice was not heard. I have experience with the big O and I can tell you this much: when she wants to be heard, she is heard. She survives another day.
I have to say that I would not have chosen the ladder to sell on QVC. Losing the coin toss was a blessing in disguise for Empresario; the vacuum was a much better product and easier to sell. Everyone needs a vacuum—I think I have three of them in my house—but not everyone needs a step ladder. Most times, I just pull over a chair when I need to reach something.
The fact that Hydra didn’t know about the easy pay plan hurt them. I think that, coupled with the poor product choice led to Hydra’s defeat.
Empresario’s QVC segment was like watching something in slow-motion compared to seeing Marilu Henner’s high energy infomercial. Trace Adkin’s voice has such a calming effect—I think he may have hypnotized the viewers.
Stephen Baldwin had a nice brainstorm when he came up with the easy pay system for his team. He is becoming a steady contributor to the tasks each week.
Did you see the previews for next week? Just in time for Spring Break!

Hi Everyone, I must admit that I called it -- halfway through the boardroom I had a feeling that nobody was going to be leaving. I liked the way Empresario stood together both during the task as well as in the boardroom. They set an example that Omarosa and Piers Morgan should follow. I was glad to see that nobody got sent home.
I could not stand to watch the bickering between Omarosa and Piers for one more minute. I am so relieved that this episode was only an hour and not the two- hour special! I do think that Omarosa was hitting way below the belt when she repeatedly brought up what a bad father Piers is. Piers, on the other hand, was letting her get to him. As Project Manager he should have risen above and not given in to the name- calling.
I think that if Hydra lost this task, Omarosa would be packing her bags right now. First of all, she did not bring in any money, and I could tell that Mr. Trump did not like the things she said about Piers. Therefore, she was saved by this win.
Next week looks interesting, with the teams changing again, things are going to heat up even more.
Have a great weekend,
Bill
I never thought I’d say this, but I feel for Piers Morgan and team Hydra. This particular episode hit home for me. During season one not only was Omarosa constantly creating tension amongst the ladies but she also went after me in a very vicious way. In my case she pulled the race card and claimed I said something that I never ever said. Fortunately Donald Trump supported me.
When Omarosa feels that she has lost control she’ll do just about anything to regain it. I happen to agree with Piers on this matter… leave the man’s family out of it. Her statements were disgusting and inappropriate. I’m sure Omarosa has done her research on all of the celebrity contestants and has dug up dirt on each and every one of them, but she should heed the saying “don’t throw stones if you live in a glass house.” It’s a shame; Omarosa is a smart lady with an extremely ugly personality. She is not a good example of how a successful businesswoman should behave.
Enough about Omarosa, I love Trace Adkins. He is incredibly earnest, graceful and polished. I also love Marilu Henner’s energy and thought her champagne idea was very smart. I was thrilled to see the team stick together in the boardroom and I’m glad that Trump did not force them to point fingers. I would have loved to see Trump donate $7,000 to Impresario and then fire either Piers, Omarosa or both!
Predictions: 1. Omarosa will lay low next week, 2. Piers will continue to create tension on his team and will be fired if his teams loses.
