Marlin that was funny. The Hulk was probably just green with envy.
Well I stuck to my word and didn't watch the show last night although ,I'm aware of who was fired. I often wonder if some particpants are left with a bad taste in their mouths concerning what is said about them? Is it possible for people to leave as friends? I think working in that environment would cause a lot of people to do some soul searching as to how others view them which in some cases may not be a bad thing. Just my thoughts. C |

Devious, Way to inject some interest into the thread but I don't believe Penn is really reading this .
Penn is lucky the Men won the task. It is a mean game where the smell of perceived weakness gets quick attention from the players and the film editors. I can't help but think Penn is a big part of the reason they won. He was right, the first Idea about the Super Hero was trite. It may be un-popular to say so but not having a better idea doesn't mean the idea you have is a good one. Penn can come off as condescending but I don't think he is. I think he is up for a conversation where people support their statements with reason. He doesn't fit in a world where all ideas are given equal weight because "Everyone has a right to their own opinion." is taken to mean all ideas have equal value. Penn could be one of the most useful members because he listens to the requests of the "Client". His advice about the Car episode was dismissed and they lost to a really poor presentation by the Women. (Although the short times on these projects doesn't allow for good thought or presentation from anyone.) Penn is now weakened and less useful to the team because if he does any critical thinking (which would help the team) it will be characterized as condescending and they'll get rid of him. Other than the obvious ugly social values of this show I really dislike the rush to finish each project. Our world needs thoughtful considered action and this show celebrates the opposite. The parts where people are expected to call in all their High Roller friends to send in cash is ridiculous. The way they expected Michael Andretti to just use his name (brand) to support the Car Company was a bit much. That could have ramifications on his future business. They should expect that people use their skills to support the team but not their personal Brand. Frankly, some of the winning projects don't seem very strong. Sometimes I think the project that wins is the one that works best for the show in terms of team balance or some other criteria I'm not aware of. Although I think Donald Trump is a jerk (to put it politely) I'm still watching. I'm not proud of it. -Mary Mowder |

Miss Mary,
O ye' of little faith. :clownjuggling: |

Too true.
I'm sorry Devious, I should not have impugned your honor. I just meant that I find it hard to believe and I thought you were putting us on. What leads you to believe that Penn is reading this thread? -Mary Mowder |

I know Penn couldn't take part in this discussion because of contractual difficulties.
Tell you what Penn, if you are reading this make a sound like Teller. Two longs and a short, just so we know it's you. -Mary Mowder |

Mary,
Are you being "Condescending"? That is "The" word that Penn dislikes the most, in the english language. |
|||||||||
Chrystal Inner circle Canada/France 1552 Posts |
Nope, Mary was being humorous. I recognize condesending as I once taught pre-school and they are famous for speaking to adults as three year olds.
I was suprised George Takei was booted off, he came across as very refined and dignified from what I viewed to that point on the show. That man has a wicked sense of humor in real life. However, as we are not privy to anything but for that hour I wonder if the rest of the cast had experienced that side of him? Lastly, out of the women I immediately liked Patricia Velasquez and picked her as another possible winner along with Penn. She comes across as very intelligent and passionate about her work. However, since I'm no longer going to watch the show I'll have to wait until the final outcome and see who wins when it's announced. |

Well, I thought the right team won this week as far as which party looked like more fun (and had better signage).
I noticed Dee did not mention directly that Clay asked him to raise the posters and Clay didn't either. I was glad to see the problems for Penn eased a little. I couldn't believe Clay brought back Paul Tuetul instead of Lou Ferrigno. Paul is such a strong builder and without Adam Carolla the team needs someone to build things. I'd hate to see inexperienced people thrust into using power tools under pressure. -Mary Mowder |

I really think the ladies were robbed on this one.
There must've been something else that wasn't shown perhaps. I would call the men's effort less than inspiring. The ladies captured all the points of the task and set it over the top with the jingle and give away promotion. Poor Patricia....that lady has more class in her little pinky than the lot of the females in the group. I do agree that having Paul on the team really has helped them to fabricate the ideas that are required. Penn's pretty handy with a hammer as well... |

I thought the Men's party was much more fun and friendly.
Juggling with peaches, Conga lines with Celebrities, Limbo, Clay Aiken leading a sing along. These are fun at the time and could make for a great Story/Memory. The melting popsicles? Lisa reading cards? Why would anyone want a copy of the Debbie Gibson Song? To play in their car? to add to a party mix? The last thing I want when I leave a party is a persistent EarWorm. Patricia will be a loss. She is a capable and admirable lady. Go figure, Donald Trump skipped on firing Miss Universe. Dayana seems to be a nice person but not nearly as useful a team member as Patricia. Aubrey is a smart and creative gal and a real shark. You'd have to really love money or be a real player to profess a crush on the Trump son. I hope she doesn't win but Joan Rivers won so... I'm not liking where this is apt to go. Clay and Arsenio are still keeping the "Penn is condescending" smoldering but I'm glad that seems to be passing. I was really surprised that Clay didn't say he'd bring Penn and Lou back this time. I don't take it at face value. I think Clay thought they'd won and didn't really tip his hand. Wheels within wheels, (bless his heart). I didn't know Penn was handy with a hammer, You don't mean juggling a hammer do you Devious? I still think Penn can and may win based on my belief that Penn has a broader skill base and has not yet shown all he has to offer. Penn is not as overtly devious but we know Penn has some small talent in this arena. Clay and Aubrey are more obviously dangerous. -Mary Mowder |

I haven't watched the show but you guys got me interested enough to read the last 2 recaps on the website. Also, someone told me that Clay is a real mess although from reading the recaps, he seemed to come off as fairly capable. Is there anyone on the show you're really hoping to see go? I'm actually more of a Amazing Race and Survivor kind of guy.

Mary you make some very valid points....yes definitely no ear worms for this kid.
The melted ice pops are definitely a faux pas and not consistent with the rest of the presentation. Dixie paper cups? I agree Dayana although a dear, is certainly less resourceful of those present on the firing line. Lisa is the most talented in the group butt(no pun intended), also happens to be the most condescending in the show. I'm rooting for Clay and Penn in the men's group. I'm not settled on the women's selection. Penn has yet to tip his hand as of yet, for the most part, as to his tenacity. |

Wouldn't this be a GREAT way to pick the leader of a country? Just a thought.
