THIS IS A COMPETITION!

Remember in another task Natalie was able to make one phone call and arrange a private plane to pick up Joan Rivers in one state and drop her in NY so she could get there faster? Natalie has wealthy friends and lives in a circle of wealth. The fact she couldn’t raise money with her own people is complete BS.

I laughed and thought it was clever Natalie ever thought of trying to get a poker player, for one thing it was just devious and creative, you have to give her credit for that, but on the other side i had to laugh because the general public just has zero understanding of the poker world and the people in it. No way Phil was going to come through for Natalie.

Annie reacted totally normally in that situation and anyone else would have if they were a determined TEAM LEADER who was planning on winning their project competition.

She was angry, surprised and yeh she yelled in her phone call to see what was up with how the attempt at sabotage got so far asto make it to Phil Hellmuth- any normal person would have reacted the same way.

It was a phone call- Joan and her daughter tried to make a mountain out of a mole hill over this and seems some simpletons who are watching don’t have the comprehension level to understand this is ABSOLUTELY NO BIG DEAL!

As for the ignorant comment that Annie is bullying others- this is not a playground of 8 yr olds being bullied by a 200 pound gang member. This is (supposedly) a bunch of successful professional people Annie’s competing against. If they let her run the show or they kowtow to what she wants, 1) that is their own failures and 2) her team usually won with her help- so what exactly is there to claim she errored on?

It is typical of a certain personality type to not get Annie- It’s just funny really. I can spot these kind of people a mile a way and the life they lead and their (lack of) successes in life. It’s just too damn funny.

Lastly, keep in mind these peeps are on camera the whole time they are there and the production chooses what to edit down to fit a 42 minute program, how to edit it (to fit a dramatic storyline) and they also choose what sequence things are shown in. They can manipulate it to the hilt… and they do.

I cannot believe all the blowheart’ing over a stinking phone call!

How was it devious of Natalie to try to work with Phil to get some donations rather than Annie? Annie had no right to have a tantrum, she didn’t get to him first for donations then too bad. She keeps claiming it’s just business then she should have sucked it up.

Why is it always ok for Annie to bully others and force her opinions and ideas but if someone else does it, she sulks, pouts and mutters catty comments under her breath?

I assume annie will win this one.. she is very, VERY much like me- only a few issues i think you/she screwed up on.. you, annie, shouldn’t have been so direct, so early, saying those who don’t bring in the most money will go into the boardroom with you- that was handed out as a threat and they took it as a threat, from someone most of them don’t like– that was not good bedside manner- you have to be careful with the bluntness- again, remember, you are much like me- i tend to say the first thing i’m boldly thinking too- with age you learn to tame it down a bit-

phil of course will come to annie’s rescue- i can/will guarantee that people!

as for natalie picking out the jewelry, HUGE mistake on joan’s part along with letting the guys pick the models.. HUGE MISTAKE-

to poster above wondering if this was strategy, i don’t think so.. joan just f’d up big time here..

models needed to be checked for their posture, shoulder line, how long their neck is to show off dangling earrings- joan just really screwed up.

i assume annie will win this one though you have to give lil clint credit for the brilliant idea to pull money for the sake of profit..

in general, CA is getting old.. i have a love/hate thing for trump, always have.. i think he’s a chauvinist.. i’m not surprised he fired 2 women in one week- the men sucked! but alas me thinks the 2 most capable women will be in the final 2-

annie may save donors like phil for that final project instead of using him now, but either way, there is no way our phil will help natalie-

i like natalie by the way.. she’s a bit to stiff imo, but otherwise seems like a great gal, it was smart of her to think of that idea though she’s not familiar with the poker world and does’t realize the close nit relationships-

by the way peeps.. it was so dumb how the show tried to play up a guy in a suit sitting down, the climax of last wk’s show not telling us who trump was bringing in to oversee the chaos.. we all knew it was the prix Pierce (sp) from last season! … no surprise there.
