The ladies unanimously chose Hope Dworaczyk to be their PM. We haven’t heard much from Hope this season, but it turns out she has a lot of opinions. Hope was the PM on paper, but Ms. Star took over quickly (then wondered why everyone comes to her for answers). NeNe continued her negativity. Not much new on team ASAP.
John Rich had a talk with Gary Busey upon his return from the boardroom. Rich told Busey he thought he was a “saboteur” and that he was only trying to prevent the men from winning tasks. I think Gary got lost in the conversation. Likely somewhere in his head he was trying to find an acronym for saboteur, but it eluded him.
The task was a presentation for Omaha Steaks
covering three holiday celebrations with their food. Teams also had to come up with their own variety pack. Hope’s first act as PM for team ASAP was to lie to Donald Trump, saying she was a meat eater when asked directly.The ladies spread out the work well, but Hope lacked time management too. She sent NeNe and Marlee for supplies and printing, leaving them no time to rehearse for the presentation. It showed in their presentation when they continually called the product Omaha instead of Omaha Steaks. I’m sure Ms. Star would have corrected that in rehearsal.
NeNe continued her battle with LaToya Jackson. At one point when NeNe approached LaToya in the kitchen while she was cooking, LaToya flipped a burger and it flamed up. “She tried to pull a Michael Jackson on me!” said NeNe in the one-on-one conference. I don’t think all this LaToya hate is warranted, she just knows she can’t pick on Hope or Star or Marlee.
Hope joined into the pile up on LaToya, continually telling her to speak up. At one point Hope said, "If she keeps baby-talking someone is going to hit her." Really Hope, who would that be?
When Ivanka Trump visited the men of Backbone she said, ‘I felt like I walked in on a group therapy session. It was fascinating!” Lil Jon begged her to take him with her. Meatloaf was in narrow focus mode to avoid Gary’s constant babble and pacing. John Rich was climbing the walls. Gary was, um, around.
To say the men were not given direction would be the understatement of the season. Meatloaf was charged as Chef, though he knew nothing about cooking. Lil Jon was charged with cutting up paper, and John Rich was in charge of whining about Gary Busey. Meatloaf seemed to be doing most of the work on the task.
At one point the men needed to pick up printing and Meatloaf said he was taking Lil Jon with him, leaving John Rich with Gary. That wasn’t going to happen. Rich threatened to cut off Lil Jon’s dreads if they left him.
Then it happened. Apparently Gary Busey called John Rich “boy,” in a “boy, listen to me…” type of statement off air. I’m sure he meant it in a harmless way, but John Rich was not having that! He had a near breakdown over it and demanded an apology the next day. When Gary did apologize Rich did not accept it.
Surprisingly, the men on Backbone pulled together a decent presentation. It was full of way too much babble from Gary Busey, but other than that it was decent. Gary had wanted to work in a kite story during the presentation, and danged if he didn’t. No one had a clue what he was talking about but he did have the audience repeating loudly “Omaha Steaks” which is a good thing. Meatloaf was so good the company was interested in using him as a spokesman. I’m sure Gary can set something up for a small fee.
In the boardroom Trump wasted no time asking the men what they thought of Gary as a leader. It was not pretty. Meatloaf, though heavily praised for his role in the task, made it clear he could not continue to work with Gary. John Rich chimed it that it was a “catastrophic collapse of time management.” I think he was just using big words to confuse Gary. No fair!
Though Gary Busey tried to stand up for himself, it was obvious there was no way these three were backing down. He even recited verbatim the kite story for Trump. Which was impressive, but after he finished Trump said, “I have no idea what you are talking about…’ Win or lose tonight, the men wanted him gone.
The women must have rehearsed for the boardroom. The stood silent while the men collapsed. When asked what they thought of Hope, all said she was great. Even NeNe, who Trump pointed out as a tough cookie. NeNe took that personally and later cried to Star about it. Hmm, maybe Trump saw the video of you calling LaToya “Casper the ghost” last week, unprovoked.
When he finally announced the men lost, they seemed relieved. John Rich brought up the fact that Gary called him a boy, again. Gary should have said he did and he apologized for it, but he got stuck in his head. Instead Busey said he called Rich a “Ca-boy” (or Cah-boy or Ka-boy or Kah-boy or however he chooses to spell his made up word). Gary said it was short for “Cowboys” and is used in Texas for the Dallas Cowboys fans. I was nearly choking from laughing at this point.
Meatloaf was stammering and physically holding himself by the end. “Meatloaf, I’m gonna make you very happy. Gary, you’re a great actor, but you’re fired,” and the room breathed for the first time in minutes.
Next week promises more silly drama from the ladies on team ASAP. This may be the start of the feud with NeNe and Star Jones.

ReplyDeleteThis may be my favorite comment of all time! Thank you *still laughing*
I thought Busey was going to end up pulling it off and would end up winning this week since they chanted Omaha Steaks so many times. And even Emeril has the audience come up and taste his food.
ReplyDeleteThe owners of Shorty's Caboy Hattery don't think it is a made up word. Maybe the writer needs to do a little research.
ReplyDeleteWhile Busey is certainly from another planet, maybe he really is sly as afox. Caboy is actually slang for Cowboy.
maybe he was covering is ca-ass but caboy is a word.
