Wes And Maria Cracked By Double Whammy

Ha - that was just tooo good to be true. Firing both Maria and Wes was the only just thing to do and yet it seemed impossible that Trumpy would actually break his rules to deliver such a perfect result.

The only thing that would have made it better is if Jenn had been in Mosaic to be fired in a sordid threesome. Can you believe that it’s possible for someone to be as unbelievably horrible as she is??

When she took all the credit for Ivana’s winning idea I was so finished I was screaming at the screen like a wild thing because there can be nothing worse than what she did. This after everything else she’d done, including being so nasty about sweaty Kev’s passion, and she beats Stacy Y's record of being the worst Apprentice contestant ever.

What’s so extra gobsmacking is that her evil runs so deep she knows there are cameras everywhere that reveal  the truth to us and she doesn’t care.

Jenn's nasty colours were shown in all their grim glory from the very first moment the episode started when everyone returned from Chris’s firing saying they thought she should have been in the boardroom too.

Immediately she went into a huff and then proceeded to be as difficult and jealous as possible, resulting in Apex winning despite her.

The task for the episode involved each of the teams needing to compile a catalogue for Levi’s jeans showing why they’re so special for being around for 150 years.

Before giving them instructions Donald instructed Mosaic to give one of their team members over to Apex, they spent ages discussing who and eventually Kelly stepped out their circle saying that Wes wanted him gone.

Mosaic drew names out of a hat to decide that Wes would be Project Manager and Apex chose Kevin as theirs - after him saying that he’d really like to be. Both teams then went off to organise their brochures with Mosaic doing nothing except decide that Maria would be in charge of the models and photographs.

At Apex Ivana managed to redeem some of her past pathetic-ness when she came up with a snazzy wheel idea to accompany their brochure that became an important part of why they won.

The moment she suggested it was the moment Jenn’s mean spirit really kicked into the ginormous horror it became. Just thinking about it again – picturing the scene and how she pretended she didn’t know what they were meaning, desperately wanting the idea to suck in case someone got credit for it – I honestly don’t know how they managed to control themselves and not smash her with a chair.

Luckily it was too strong an idea for her to ruin and also Kevin and Ivana had Kelly to back them back up in their sanity. I must say I was very surprised at how sexy the back of him looked in those jeans. Kevin looking gorge in the pics wasn’t a surprise but Kelly’s butt defs was.

The idea of them being the models was excellent and even Ivana managed to look quite sweet, particularly in the moment where she was trying to be fair about Jenn saying she suited being a model – which she doesn’t.

That crap blow dried hair of hers, the way the jeans looked on her and how she posed when she needed to bum-it was all just soo yesterday I don’t think she’s got even a smidgen of what it takes to be model-glam. At least she served a purpose and did what they all told her, unlike Mosaic’s She-devil who was so incredible there are no words.

There has to be something very wrong with Maria’s wiring that gets sparked when her eyes go crazy - nothing else except madness could realistically explain her behaviour.

At the start of her scene – before she told Wes to back off – I was guffawing and cringing at how impossible it is that she could be for real but then when she attacked him and refused to let Sandy see the pics and started howling about not being a control freak – really seeming to believe herself! - I was convinced she’s dangerous. Like the type who’d turn into a Fatal Attraction if she fell in love with you.

As far as the task went Wes was worse than her proving what a spineless, wimpy twit he is for not standing up to her. When they went to the boardroom, as much as I wanted Maria carried away in a straight jacket I thought Wes should have gone more - before The Hair so kindly shoved both of them off in the taxi together of course.

Their leaving together was hysterical – espesh the hatred that passed between them in the silence. My best was a moment of Wes standing outside the taxi doing something with his bag, waiting to climb into the taxi with her taking forever to get in.

Speaking of hair – don’t you think there’s something strange about Mr Ransick’s? I’m very worried about how Bill’s looking like such a different person to how he looked in the first season.

I’m assuming he’s using Trump’s stylist because he’s been forced to - in between going to the Building. What was all that patronising rubbish at the end about him needing to be there instead? If you ask me Bill doesn’t look nearly as happy as I would have expected someone in his position to be.

Also Malania and the way she came in to do the buttshot – how ridiculous was that? The worst is when Donald calls her girlfriend. I know they’re married now and that she was his girlfriend then and that that really is what she was but there’s still something ultra squirm-fest about it when he says it.

At least he redeemed himself a bit and hopefully next week he’s going to see the light with Jenn. Her ability to get everyone believing the lie she presents herself as is impossible to understand properly.
