lol hi Patricia, like the header of this thread says: The show's not without its flaws, but hey, its just a game.

The idea behind extracting criticism from teammates is to generate drama. So in that sense its not the way things really work. And of course, do any of us have to be roommates with our co-workers for 6-weeks ? Its all for ratings.

I think this finale episode will be so close to being scripted that its not worth arguing whether it really was or wasn't.

And I read today that Mark Burrnet is planning on trying his hand at scripted drama. I think he was doing a practice run on the last 2 episodes here, lol.

Wellll the "winner" gets to work for Trump in NYC for $250,000/year. The "loser" gets to be on TV, make appearances, do whatever the heck he wants, whenever he wants and probably make waaaay more than $250,000/year, lol.

Where do they find contestants who are so TV/on-camera savvy ? As soon as I realize someone is rolling tape, I dummy up big time, lol.
