Here go 2 hrs down the tubes: Celebrity Apprentice

[UTUSN]

Clay AIKEN and Lisa LAMPINELLI have had smackdowns. Arsenio has come across (all episodes) as bland, withholding, unassertive. Lisa, really ugly, picking on the weakest, whining about how she does everything and is all creative, mocking/ "foreign accents." JILLETTE, above it all and above everybody. The motorcycle dude, the dependable go-to. AIKEN, sneaky/conniving, backing down when challenged.

My guess is that the eventual choice will be between JILETTE and the bike dude (at the end of the season, not tonight). TRUMP is ultimately in awe of uber testosterone.

1. I don't see it in my TV listings for tonight.

What is up with that, UTUSN?

2. Count the blessings!1 n/t

3. No spoilers, but I've been wrong before: Viz., the "my cat smells like sunshine" thread.

I thought I was going to break out in sugar overload every time I saw that thread title. I now recognize it for the monument in internets history that it is. ("Dry" ain't just a desert in Egyptico.)

5. someone needs to kill that 'my cat smells like sunshine' thread

It's been hijacked

Nothing to do with my beautiful cat who does smell like sunshine

7. I'm a known threadkiller but don't want to impose. Plus, I seldom use fad words like "awesome"

but those hijackers are AWESOME, if they really are playing. I'm so uncool that I'm not sure when something is flying right past me, so at the points where the dueling seems series I hope it's not some kind of S&M thing.

I stayed away from peeking into that thread because the title seemed so treakley sweet, but finally gave in and I'm glad I did. Awesome.

4. Amazing to me that you give the bike dude

a pass. Hes not creative and skates by doing little to nothing.

I could see it coming down to clay and Aubrey. They're clearly the best two players. Lisa is just a pain and instead of complaining so much she should figure out a way to use all her teams talents.

6. Maybe because I see it as a personality game, more than creativity or how to measure

creativity. Likability and broadcasting the likability. The bike dude was never a fit for this fake carnival crap, does his own bike business stuff, and not compatible with the asskissing-of-TRUMP premise of this crap show. He just wasn't a whiner or b.s.-er, plus I repeat that TRUMP bows down to testosterone.

I've always liked LAMPINELLI in her roast routines, and the ugliness of her jokes there was aimed at powerful targets, but here, whatever "reality" is real, she has shown some incredibly ugly traits. When she loses, she cries and whines about how she has worked so hard all her life and is so creative and "deserves" this or that, and picks on the WEAK. In this particular episode she did all this plus lashed out at everybody on her team, and then cravenly played victim for "making a girl cry." PLUS, for all her being the professional comedian, she was piss poor in comedy and improv and the non-comedian AIKEN left her in the dust and ran circles around her. She's an awful human.

And I totally detest TRUMP and all his SPAWN: But let's leave this point there without going into the why-do-you-watch thing, please (meaning anybody, not the post above).
