John has been the strongest player to this point. At the same time, it get lost that even though Kristen didn't portray his joke, the idea was dumb. It's a body wash, not a face wash. The idea itself was funny (in my opinion), but it wasn't a good idea for trying to sell a body wash.

Everytime Tara speaks, she has something good to say (her one line tonight was that the commercial didn't portray the joke), but they never show her. Does she go far?

Erin is this season's Jenn M. Not only is she a lawyer, but she seems good (if less combatitve) in the boardroom. I think she'll go far.

What is the deal with all the real estate people this cast? I think Brian was in real estate, and so are Chris and Audrey. I think some other people are, too.

Donald really gets on my nerves. The 'advice' was to "never settle," yet both of the winners so far were settling. He chose solid, unspectactular white males as the two apprentices. Isn't that settling for "Ok" rather than taking a risk? The preview for next week shows Donald saying he hates the phoney team love, yet Tammy was fired in the first season for being disloyal (though that was a little different from not getting along with people). Whatever, Donald.

keening vocals and a song selection of tremulous grace,
thrills with authenticity and emotion..." - Entertainment Weekly
