Could somebody post a photo of the ads? I missed last night's episode!

I agree - I'd guess that the people like Marilu who got booted without making a dime for their charities would say the same thing!

Still Tito did a terrible job presenting the finished product. O or Stephen should have done all the talking.

Regardless of the photo essays, what I thought really won the challenge was that Carol's team listed all the points as to why yogurt is good for you and that is why you should use Dial's product. Tito's team really did not touch on that at all.

I think DT wanted to fire Omagrossa SO BAD this week, but the team didn't give him any reason to over someone else. If Tito had fought her in the board room like an opponent in the ring, it would have been enough to send her home! It seemed to me DT clearly knew that she should have been PM and offered to be PM then chickened out. IA, I think that the picture of Trace wouldn't have made a difference in the end. Tito letting Stephen run things is okay too - as a leader you use your team's strengths and I think DT was okay with that. Trace and Tito caused DT to keep Omagrossa....the previews indicate we will see her act in a way that should give DT enough reason to fire her. I'm done with her......

Hardly the first time she's referred to herself in the third person. It's just with an obnoxious extra bit of spin added.

I wonder. Has anyone ever done a study about WHY egotistical people use third-person so much? I mean unless they are dumber than rocks they have to know how likely it is they will be pigeonholed as egotists if they do. And yet... they do. Consistently. Unless there's actually some perverse pleasure felt by an egotist from being recognized as such. Maybe I've just been assuming its a condition people try to deny, even as they fall even deeper into it.

IMO Trump wasn't quite ready to fire her yet. The fact is she brings ratings--everyone tunes in thinking this will be the episode she gets the boot, but she doesn't. Then it's next week she should get the boot, but doesn't again. They are stringing it along to keep us watching and waiting for it to finally happen. Who wouldn't tune in just to see her get hers once and for all? Dragging it out for 3 or 4 weeks worth of ratings.

What really killed them was the lack of text or any reference to the product and what it did and why. Had they shown the shot of bare chested Trace with the two men standing behind them it would have been worse. Not a woman in sight and that is the target buyer. It made even less sense.

I honestly don't like to pull the misogyny card, but Trump really doesn't seem to like or respect women that much. A male wins the contest, he gets a job in the Trump organization, a woman wins, she gets a choice between decorating his house or overseeing a beauty pageant. A woman wins a task, she gets the promised amount, a man loses a task, he gets more than double the amount the woman gets. It just doesn't pay to be a woman in the Trump universe (something I'm sure all his many wives would have something to say about).

Trump loves the sports guys. Tito was a sweet guy too. I really don't know what they do other than hit each other but that doesn't matter, Trump is dazzled, thus the money. As things spiral down toward the end I believe we will see more sums given to those fired, who he respects. And that will be the men. He didnt want to fire Marilou because she was a "quality woman" but didn't pony up. Good show though!
