I feel as though a weight has been lifted from my shoulders. I woke up this morning and the air seemed fresher, the sky brighter, and all the birds were chirping. I felt as though I'd entered a new, better world today. Why is that? Isn't it obvious? Omarosa was booted off The Celebrity Apprentice last night.
Okay, that may sound like a small thing, and something that we all knew was coming down the line anyway, but it was still wonderful to actually see it happen. Just knowing that it was on the way wasn't really enough for me. I had to see her go down in flames with my own eyes. And it was even better because it was Piers Morgan, her nemesis, who helped usher in her firing. It was a beautiful thing.
Sadly though, I could imagine a scenario in which the firing would have been even better. Omarosa knew even before she entered the boardroom last night that she was going home. She didn't really try to fight it; she took a couple of shots at Piers and made a half-hearted attempt to see Stephen Baldwin fired. But it was, as I say, only half-hearted. She knew that the defeat was so massive that there was no way that she, as project manager, was going to get away unscathed. She was resigned to it and that upset me. I wanted to see her go out with a bang, not a whimper. I wanted to see her act shocked and aghast the notion that she was going home. Instead, she knew it was coming and watched it unfold. It didn't hurt her quite as much as I wanted it to.

Omarosa was no worse than Piers, who is so offensive I for one won't be tuning in to see the remaining episodes.

I'm so happy she's gone. That Trace/Piers thing was so great! Trace is my favorite by far. Love my country boys ...
Anyway, it never occured to me she was hurting the show's ratings. I would think she's helping them. As much as I hated her, I did look forward to her fighting with Piers. Nice point though.
Ding dong, the witch is dead!
