Someone who does that on a date is a gentleman. Someone who does that in a boardroom is an ass.



Say what? I still consider pulling out chairs, allowing others to enter the boardroom first and holding the door open to be courteous. Of course, if a certain person is doing it to another certain person and there's a context for their interaction, then I could see why doing so would be assholish. But across the board? I think not. Call me old-fashioned, but if I were Trump, I'd have to wonder about people who either don't show that type of courtesy to others, as well others who respond negatively to it. From what I can tell, Trump seems to be from the old school, and I'm sure in some of the contestants minds, holding the door open and pulling out the chair is more about looking well-mannered on TV and in front of Trump and company, than being sexist or chivalrous.

I suppose one could say John's comments about Audrey were sexist, but IMO they were anti-Audrey and little to nothing more. I seriously doubt he'd make the same kind of comments about the other women on his team. Since the beginning, with the exception of Kristen and Audrey, he's seemed to show a genuine respect for the other women, whether they were project managers or not. The 'sexist' nature of John's comments with respect to the game IMO were completely nullified by Audrey's double standard on being told she was beautiful as well as her apparent harping on the widely heretofore unknown "fact" that she is beautiful. I think John saw right through her bullshit and used her 'achilles heels' (her vanity and immaturity) to break her down.
