One of the two players remaining has class. It ain't Joan.

Me too. In fact I am stunned that the idle, albeit somewhat risque, chit chat between a couple of friends in the kitchen is considered to be the more distasteful of the two comments.

lol I must be low class.. white trash.. whore pit viper… whatever.. because that was about the funniest comment on this season. I laughed my butt off.

To me it made Annie more real.. she wasn't an uptight, prissy, little fake female.

I hope she wipes the floor with Joan (& Melissa's) face.

So what if she's overconfident, it's better than being a biatch.

I agree, Maveno. Annie is an agressive go-getter type player, here. Joan was nasty and really showed what she is about when she left the show because Melissa was fired. If they leave the show, they shouldn't be allowed back. GO, Annie!!

From her most recent blog entry:

It's funny when it is a man who acts like Annie and who is confident in who they are, this man is seen as a savvy businessman(Piers, Donald Trump). When a woman like Annie does it then she is the worse than Hitler. I like Annie because I am the same way confident and not afraid to toot my own horn. You Go Annie Win next week and send that Gargoyle and Devil spawn packing for some low rent red carpet schtick.

I don't agree. I think Donald and, especially, Piers are over confident jerks too. While I disagree with Joan's rant, I think I see what she means about Annie. Annie comes off as like she's a nice person but there's a smugness just below. She acts like she's the innocent one but I just don't believe it. For example when she complimented Joan and said she really like her oh please, she hates her now so why, WHY be phony about it and act as if ~ I think Donald was starting to see it too. As far as Piers choosing Annie in the final 2...duh...she's a lot like him (nothing particularly good in my book). Funny thing is, if she appeared in his season I have a feeling he would have disliked her. With all that said (whew) I will be surprised if Joan won, so I figure it'll be like the last C.A. ~ a disappointing winner.

I believe it's Annie's game to lose. Trump has repeatedly said he doesn't care for quitters and Joan quit the game when she walked out with Melissa.

In poker, if you say you are betting, then move your chips in, then change your mind, it's too bad...you cannot get them out of the pot. The only reason Joan's in the final two is that he needed an Annie/Joan finale for ratings sake.

She didn't say she LIKED her, she said she respected her. I understand her completely... I respect Joan for her energy and willingness to work hard at her age, but I certainly don't like her.

It's as simple as this: Joan saw in Annie a competitor against her daughter... she tried to pull her into a 'kinship' with Melissa against Brande and it didn't work because Annie has a mind of her own. This ticked Joan off to no end, because she wanted to be the one manipulating people in this game. I see JOAN as the more manipulative one... but she couldn't get what she wanted with Annie and acted like a victim as a result. BS. The Rivers are conniving, manipulative and nasty.
It's possible if Annie hadn't been able to manipulate this game in her favour she would have been just as ticked at Joan as Joan is right now. But my guess is she wouldn't have had little temper tantrums and called Joan a Hitler...

Piers let a lot of Omarosa's crap slide right off his back until she attacked his children and his ability as a father. I think they both showed a tremendous amount of restraint. When Joan called her Hitler, if that were me, I'd've said more than 'don't talk to me ever again'.....

Hey...Annie is so "perfect" in everything she does...why don't she do DWTS next...see how good she can do there? course, one of the pros would be saddled with her and likely to slap her
