3/22 Discussion thread ****SPOILERS****

[tango7]

Gawd, I was soooo hoping Dennis would be dumped this week. I can’t stand him. He’s worthless to the team; in fact, quite detrimental with the confrontations and drama. I’m waiting for a Joan/Dennis showdown.

I think Melissa did a good job, and Claudia obviously resents that Melissa is Joan’s daughter and has grown up rich. Neither Joan nor Melissa are lazy, I’ll say that for them.

I didn't think the men's presentation was all that.

I doubt it will affect her THAT much. Plenty of people in the business don't care for each other that much, and I'm sure there are PLENTY who aren't fond of Melissa vocally and aren't worried about their jobs.

I have to give Clint a little credit last night for at least trying to give Rodman another chance and trying to mend fences a little. The project manager should have swallowed his pride and done the same, I think.

I am waiting for the " Real Producers" of the Red Carpet Events to come and call Melissa on her lies. Melissa is a liar I defy anyone to find her being credited for those Red Carpet pander fest her and Mom got fired from twice over.

I'm really sad that Claudia left and that the women lost the challenge. Melissa was overboard and when she asked her mom to stand up for her...mer. I think Claudia did very well in all of the challenges and that this one was a tough one.

It seems more and more that Joan got special privliges and a special one to bring her daughter on.

I don't have a problem with Joan. She paid her dues. But she and her daughter did make some enemies with some of Joan's antics (putdowns, etc) during their red carpet days. There are a quite a few celebrities and others in Hollywood that would cheer on Claudia for what she said, and reward her for it. I don't think the Rivers have as much widespread support as you might think.

I would like for the Rivers team to disband. When she leaned over and told mommy to jump in, that was ridiculous. Joan wasn't even there!!!! Again!!!! Please please please send M packing. I know Trump likes Joan, but for goodness sakes get rid of the appendage.

One more absence from Joan and she should be dismissed. (I know, ain't gonna happen.)

[iguanachocolate]

I totally agree with y'all on the fact that Melissa ran to mommy for her defense.

I think Claudia erred in the Boardroom by not dwelling on the fact that the vignettes were all Melissa's idea. The comments said they were what brought their presentation down. not to mention they were confusing with the taped and live segments.

Count me in as one who did not care for KOTU's presentation. It was a song & dance extravaganza - not a sales presentation. Dancers with phones in their hands? Come on.

But it wasn't really supposed to be a sales presentation. The audience was filled with sales people - not customers. The purpose was to get them pumped up and excited to get out and sell the product, and be excited about having the jobs they do. To me, the best evidence that what they did worked was the audience chanting the company name at the end.

I think the women's biggest mistake was that they didn't quite grasp the purpose of the presentation. They really did focus on finding ways to show people how the phone works. They even talked about that in their critique of the guys presentation. But they wree talking to a group who already knew how it worked. To spark ideas in their minds as to what sort of consumers would make the most sense to target is one thing. But they were really more demoing the product, which made no sense.

Melissa did a very good job defending herself. As far as Joan, she is part of the team, and entitled to give her comments. The fact that Joan is Melissa's mother does not mean she is less a part of the team, and it should not/does not mean she shouldn't say anything.
