John Chokes On Indecision

JohnEPISODE 6

Yay
- eventually a decision by the Donald that makes total sense and had me chortling away happily. How's John's final Armageddon gulp for being soo embarassing? The way he ended up so blatantly not only showing but also admitting just how weak and wrong he'd been was ultra pathetic.

Kelly's move of advising him not to choose both Chris and Kevin for pricing the garments was so cunning it's impossible to work out whether he did it intentionally to destroy him or if he's as thick as him and really thought it was a good idea.

There's something about Kelly's round, sunken-eyed mug that freaks me out - like he has lots of secrets he doesn't talk about, only springs them during moments of battle and depending on what his intentions are he could either be a hero or a psycho serial vampire. His design for that fashion cape thing strongly suggests the latter.

It was definitely the best design out of everything that moody disapproving designer had going on though. I agreed with Kevin that she was totally wrong for the job - you just can't be a designer and loathe models as much as she did. Despite him being more annoying than he's ever been, I enjoyed the first few moments of Raj driving her crazy. Clearly he has to be the centre of attention, even if it means jeopardising the team.

By the time Kelly got to handling him I'd had enough too and was relieved - I imagine the rest of Mosaic felt the same way when he took over as leader without making as if he was.

As for the boring and cheap looking fashions they ended up coming up with - they'd gone on and on about how as men they knew what looked sexy on women and yet their final results were the furthest thing from it. I reckon it was very much the fault of the designer who seemed to have mega issues not only with schmodels but with men too. All that floral wall paper material she chose was a mega sign of it.

Also, as Kevin said, she insisted on using very expensive fabrics which was ridiculous espesh when they didn't look like it. I actually found I was on Kevin's side big time and really like him as a first favourite. 

I enjoyed the way he stood up for Andy - even though Andy does nothing for me - and I like the way he gives everything he says such a strong sense of conviction. He got major pluspoints when he confronted Apex about Stacie J and these increased with everything he said this week.

The only thing that didn't impress me with him was when he celebrated Pamela's firing with everyone at the start of the episode. Grrr - the whole thing irritated me a lot - seeing Maria and the Stacey Pig so gloatingly, victoriously happy and everyone supporting them by building them up was very horrible.

It's quite incredible actually - there really is no middle ground for what a chicks supposed to be is there? They're criticised when they're overly emotional and then called Ice Queen's when they're not.

Apex getting themselves together and annihilating Mosaic the way they did didn't impress me either and I wasn't pleased when they won. There's no ways they would have performed the way if it hadn't been for Pamela's influence and that not one of them mentioned it was in very poor taste I thought.

Same thing when Trump dismissed John and said all the zillions of nice things about him as he left. Calling him clever, with lots of potential, never mentioning the fact that he ended up obsequiously grovelling at the end.

Both John and Pamela were fired for exactly the same reason of not making the right decisions yet if you were to hear Trumpy's comments about them in isolation you'd be convinced John was the way stronger and worthy adversary - which is the furthest thing from the truth - he just knows how to kiss butt better.

Still, thankfully the right decision was made in the end and seeing Apex at their win was interesting-ish I suppose. Luckily their prize sucked  - I agree'd with guys - the party looked very boring. Where was the promised Cirque Du Soleil? There was that one contortionist  - how whacked are they? - but other than that there was nothing else going on except the brightest, most flourescent party light I've ever seen.
