TV Open Thread: Lisa Rinna Thrown Under Bus in Celebrity Apprentice Season 4 - Page 4

Part of: TV Open Thread: For All Your Rants and Raves

The Donald was flacidly unimpressed. "Lisa, you're the PM, but I'm just not seeing a lot of fight in you," he said. Lisa countered that she didn't want to fight the intense negative energy of her team. Dionne, showing her claws, said she would fight much harder as the PM. "Don't you see what they're doing," asked The Donald? "Star is playing you a little bit as a child. Same thing Dionne. Can't you see that?" Star quickly chimed in, "She's not fighting completely crazy because at her core she knows she failed as PM."

Fighting completely crazy? Man, I'd pay good money to see that.

In the end, as always, The Donald had the final say: "We're all giving you points, Lisa but you're really having a hard time with it. Look Lisa, you were the PM, your team lost, everyone thought you should go, and I have to say Lisa, you're fired." Boom. Skinny Lisa dejectedly walked out in her leopard-print dress, hands behind her back in defeat.

Fired for not having any fight, the usual black town car whisked Lisa away. She said it was an honor to work for Trump, then added, "I put myself out there and they threw me under the bus. Do I think he made the right decision? No. Are you f----- kidding me?"

Sorry, but with thousands of charitable dollars up for grabs, possible endorsement deals and a comeback in the balance, I'd say this is no laughing matter. And adding the f-word to otherwise meaningless rants does not a leader make.

    The remainder of girl's team had better sharpen their claws before the next task. The only way to survive is to keep your back against the wall and strike before you have time to think about it.
    I'm waiting for Marlee Matlin to get ahold of Star and Dionne. She can lash it out with the best of 'em and I think she will, really soon.

    Star Jones - What ever made you think you are a Queen? A drag queen, maybe! (No offense to drag queens meant). I felt your cruelty towards Lisa Rinna was based on pure jealousy. Who do you think you are to treat people so bad? You should be ashamed of yourself.
    Dionne Warwick - What a disappointment! I've listened to your music for as long as I can remember and then to hear that same voice lash out at Marlee Matlin like she had a contagious disease. Those kids were totally fascinated watching Marlee on stage signing the words to the book. They were mezmarized. You should have listened to her idea and you might have won the task!

    I was stunned at Star and Dionne's behavior. I felt badly for Star after The View fiasco but now I see they probably had their fill of her BS. Dionne was obnoxious and condescending. I'm done with both of these bi-otches.

    I agree - Star and Dionne are very condescending, liars, and do not deserve to be on any TV show. I used to be a fan of Dionne's but will never listen to her music again. And on the other side I was never a big fan of Lisa but now I am - she is a good person, gracious and she was railroaded by all the black women on the show.

    I agree that the women's team has some vipers in the pit, but don't discount the struggle for the men. I sure hope Marlee will hold her own now that Lisa is gone. Those women are a tough bunch.

    I too am very disappointed in Dion and Star. I was very surprised to see that side of Dion. It's like Lisa said they just didn't show any kindness at all. They were very mean-spirited. I hate to see that but this show does tend to bring you the real personality and not what you thought the celebrity was. The real person comes out on this show and it is very disheartening to see how mean people actually are. I hope Star and Dion tear each other apart on the upcoming shows.

    I agree with all the above. I would like to know why Mr. Trump thought only Star and Dionne's opinions were the most important because the only other opinions given (which were few) were offered and not asked for. It was almost like everyone was afraid of Star and Dionne and were intimidated .
