I just have to say that after watching the webisode from last week I think weve found our 3rd gay guy in the bunch. ABout half way thru when you see Heidi (:-)) trying to convince him to wear one of the suimsuits... you hear him say.
"Its just that a number of times you say its what your comfortable with and when i say Im not comfortable you start pushing"
PUSHING... youre a MAN and a WOMAN is pushing you... oh brother. The pink shirt he wore was very appropriate for that day. Heidi had to talk to him like a out of control woman...
If not gay, MEGA metro sexual. These guys are going down like flies. The women are much more male then most of the males.
I doubt most people want to go out on a limb at this point. As soon as a task goes south the PM wants to nail the people who were involved the most beside themselves.
No, no anger . I just was amused by the way Heidi and the gang started attacking Marisa(yes I know she sucked both during the task and boardroom). Actually I dislike only Heidi, did you see that smug and eye rolling in the boardroom? Muna seems nice, but not the strongest candidate. As for wanting them out, it's not that I want it to happen, it's that I don't see them as strong candidates. Maybe Kristine and Angela have some potential, but I believe the strongest candidates to actually win reside on the other team.
Im not sure Surya was the answer this week as he was doing okay, but the real winner was the 22 bowls sold by Frank and Tim. Arrow did a good marketing job. I will admit that I hate pineapple in any hot dish (Kinetic's Paradise Bowl.....or was it the Bravado Bowl??? ).
BUT who could not help laughing when Arrow was enjoying a great meal on the beach and they kept flashing back and forth from Arrow to Kinetic eating spaghetti from a can?? That was pure entertainment!
Pineapple and chicken? Who would think that's a good idea? Other than those dorks obviously. The other teams bowl actually looked really good. I wanted one
The spaghetti eating was priceless. I am a Chef Boyardee fan and all but that was sad. The whole have and have-not's angle is working for me.
Poor guy (Surya), I mean his name is SURYA after all.
