EPISODE FOURWow - how's this show for making you feel as if you've stopped at the scene of the most grisly train accident ever and amidst it all you see the person responsible for it all running away .
Not that I've stopped at one nor seen killers escaping but I just know that what 's happening in Apex is exactly how it would feel if I did.
The only and best way to describe just how appalling every single one of them is like this:
Ha - how hysterical? Carolyn couldn't have been more brilliant in how perfectly she summed it all up and like her, I'm wounded to be a chick, betrayed by the very people who are supposed to be on my side but so obviously aren't.
This must be how Elizabeth's feeling with all the bawling she's got going on. Either that or she's upset that everyone twigged onto the fact that her and Maria clubbed Stacie J. to death and she thought they wouldn't realise.
I was delighted when everyone confronted them as they returned at the start of the episode and my best was Kevin who got major plus points with how he insisted they face up to the truth. My worst was toothy blonde Jenn M joining in accusing them when she'd been in the same room backing them all the way.
None of what happened at the beginning was anything like the horrors that came as they put their stupid fusion restaurant together though. Grrr - I can't stand that word - it's seen as being so fancy but it means nothing more than whoever's using it is too lazy to make a decision.
The most astounding thing out of what happened in Apex was how unnecessary all of it was to the point of being institutionally crazy. Every nasty word and put-down and problem they faced came soley from the huge personal issues all of them have no self-control over.
By the time they'd returned to the apartment and Stacey and Jenn C hit the humdinging moments of their mudpit, there wasn't one single thing that vaguely resembled fact happening between them.
Jenn has to be the most uptight flooze to have graced a camera ever and I agreed with everything that was said about her not leading and standing back during the task.
The way she attackingly treated the customers in the restaurant was very pathetic and her attitudes towards hard work suck - clearly driven by daddy issues. Her butting in was too much to even go into and her favouring Sandy's useless decor and not taking her into the boardroom for it was the biggest mistake she could have made.
Despite all this though I was still very firmly on her side - between her and Stacey, there is nooo comparison. As Jenn got the thwack and Stacey looked on I was fuming, wishing desperately that Jenn was able to control herself and beat Stacey down by refusing to do exactly what she wanted - which was to be taken into the boardroom when she shouldn't have been there.
It's quite incredible how Stacey managed to manipulate it all so that she came out looking like the victim in a situation she set up from the very start. This is the second time she's done it where she's needled and pushed and deliberately had a particular nasty attitude towards someone from the beginning, then stepped back to watch the consequences unfold.
Passive-aggressive! That's what one of my friends told me it means. It's such a whacked thing because it's so aggro yet difficult to concretise, putting people on the receiving end of it in a very frustrating position as they appear to be the one who's responsible for irrationally attacking.
Stacey's fleshy, squat very existence just-sitting is enough to send someone over the edge, so when she actually gets involved I fully understand how it would be too much to cope with. Like the way she refused to get dressed at the restuarant and rolled her eyes and then said she hadn't when Jenn knew she had. How do you possibly deal with someone like that and not need to kill them?
Despite all Jenn's many, many faults, for this I felt very sorry for her and understood why'd she'd take her into the boardroom.
And now Stacey's thinking she's won and I'm dying for The Don to see what she's like and then I want him put her through the most intense suffering. Will he see it though? Will he realise or is it gonna take her shooting herself somehow? Whatever - I don't care just so long as it happens as soon as possible.
Even if their points had been higher, there was no ways Apex could have won the task. Raj was surprisingly relaxed as Mosaic's leader I thought, particularly in how he didn't slap Chris's public hating stereotyping and John's paintings were okay I suppose. They didn't really seem to be much of anything to me except a splat but at least they had a less crap impact than Sandy's.
Pamela was very non-existent - she's obviously being regarded by them as a man now - and seeing Bill again was super. I loved the way he tried to get all stern with everyone and sort of managed. Their prize-visit to Rudy was quite cool, although I thought they could have gotten snacks.
By this stage I'd usually be ready to see the other side hit a losing streak but in this instance it’s the last thing I want and am firmly on Mosaic's side.
