Annie Duke - Season 2 - Page 7

It seems like nobody is being portrayed in the best light on this show.
That said, I still think Annie does comes across as a mean girl. I don't trust people who smile to your face and then call you names behind your back.

It's not just Melissa, but all of them Annie is acting superior to. Think back--well, for example, to the very first show, and the cupcake challenge. I call that jerky behavior. Thinking no one else could possibly make the cupcakes right, or get a big sponsor, or know where to stand, or most anything else without her input made me dislike Annie and think she was a real control freak and micro-manager from the fisrt day. I can't stand that type of behavior, especially from someone who isn't even nominally in charge of a project.

The Rivers are the only ones who have claimed Annie is name calling behind anyone else's back (the whole alleged "we had dinner and she called Brande stupid" thing). Otherwise? I don't think we've been shown any case, or any serious accusation, of Annie doing this.

Again, it all seems to come down to what Melissa and Joan CLAIM is happening, with no outside verification.

If you work in the corporate world you come across both the Annie's and Melissa's of the world. The Melissa's are the paranoid ones who because of how people treated them in high school have a chip on their shoulder for anyone who is popular, cute, or just has the moxie to get things done and aren't afraid to take charge. The Annie's because they have managed to gain confidence, know what to say and when to play it cool and when to leave people with enough rope to hang themselves come across as mean. I see Annie as a person who is good at reading the competition and using it to her advantage. This is a game and she is playing it like a master game player.

Melissa got herself all worked up last week over something she thought Annie and Brande might be trying to do and it cost her bigtime. I hope it continues to cost her after the show is over. Melissa is an insecure Brat and the Behavior that Joan & Melissa showed last week was not only disgusting and vile it was a true picture of how they truly are two shrewish mummified stiffs.

I'm no fan of Annie but I'd like to see her stand up to Joan more....if Joan returns. Everyone seems to be too intimidated to stand up to the great Joan Rivers. Blech.

I want Annie to win more than ever now. Melissa tried to bully, and had her mom right there as her puppet backing her up. Go, Annie!

I can't wait to see Annie get what's coming to her. Users like her fall HARD and it will happen sooner or later

Though I personally can't stand Annie, she is a consummate game player. That may work in poker and it may work on Celebrity Apprentice but her tactics wouldn't hold up in the business world where it's real and not a game.

It works for Piers Morgan, why wouldn't it for Annie? She actually pales in comparison to him, she had to deal with 2 Rivers, whereas he only had Omarosa.....lucky piers.

Oh yeah it does trust me. If you don't bring your A game and confidence everyday you will be chewed up and spit out. In the corporate world it is all about selling yourself all the time. The Mewissa's of the world wind up roadkill because they are just too sensitive to handle the drama. Mewissa would so be here today and gone today in my office.
