Wow, Melissa really, really embarrassed herself IMO. What a child. I didn't like the way Brandi and Annie were towards her, but good god, grow up. And Joan is a little out of line making numerous references to Hitler/nazis and saying poker players are white trash. Funny, but out of line.

With that said, I think it's complete bullshit that they fired Melissa based on her money raising abilities throughout the show so far and not the actual task. Why are they even doing these stupid projects? Why doesn't Trump just tell everyone to raise as much money every week as they can, then the lowest total leaves? It definitely should've been Brandi or Annie go based on the results of the project.

Wow, the drama after Melissa getting fired was like watching a train wreck, but hilarious at the same time. I thought either Annie or Brandi were going to get fired, but apparently the money raising aspect is also what they are looking at. If this weren't a celebrity apprentice, the project manager would have been canned.

I'm sure Joan had a lot more to say, we'll probably hear it next week.

An embarrassing train wreck is right!

Brandi was ready to go until she laid down some smack and let Melissa talk herself into a paper bag, lol. I can give Joan a pass because even tho she can be nasty, she's had a long career and has given everyone a fair share of laughs, and she's just being protective of her inept child. Generally, she's a very likable person.

Melissa tho is a nasty nasty insecure emotionally repressed ugly person. If she doesn't already, she's going to regret how she handled things.

Kudos to Annie for not responding to Joan in the like. She is a very intelligent strong woman/shark, who happens to play cards. I admire her strength and charm. She'd be one of the best people to have on your team or have support from, but the opposite would be an epic curse.

Good show last weekend.
Gotta wonder if Melissa Rivers' firing was solely for entertainment value.
Seems like Joan Rivers is joined at the hip with her daughter. Melissa is riding her coattails, but Joan is just codependent I guess.

Thought is was funny that they bleeped the word "check" when Melissa demanded it before storming out in a huff. Bleeped it more than once too.
Wonder if it aired that way. I viewed it on Hulu.

Joan and Melissa were on Ellen yesterday (or the day before, can't remember), and Melissa didn't seem concerned about her outburst at all. She just made more snide remarks about feeling like she was in high school again.

Joan and Melissa were on the Ellen Degeneres show on Thursday, April 30th. You can't link directly to the video but if you go to the link below, you can find their interview not too far down the list over on the right side of the page.

They're still a bit bitter it seems. :laugh:

Did they say at the beginning that they were getting rid of 3 people tonight to set up for the 2 person finale next week?

I can't stand how Joan does this same act every week. I can't pick somebody to go. Boohoo!
