Hi everyone! This is my first post here. :)
So far, I'm liking this new season of Celebrity Apprentice. I didn't think that Kevin Jonas would be eliminated so soon, but he made a bad decision bringing back Ian into the boardroom with him and let's face it, it seems like Geraldo is in it for the long run. Kate got very lucky that Leeza took on the task because Kate didn't seem like she had any idea what to do as project manager.
In terms of the second episode, I thought it felt very rushed and I would have preferred to see it as a full two hour episode. I felt embarrassed for Shawn in regards to what happened in the boardroom and I think that she had every right to be pissed. Yes, it's true that Shawn should have limited herself to telling Vivica that she didn't feel well instead of going into detail, but she probably thought that Vivica would be more understanding and in the case that it seemed like she had checked out of the task, then the ladies would know why. However, I don't think that Shawn ever checked out. She never told Vivica that she didn't want to be there and she did go shopping with Kate for props for 6 hours. When Donald asked Vivica if she could trade anyone on her team for Geraldo, who would it be, she could've just said that she liked her team the way that it was, but instead, she went ahead and threw Shawn under the bus to protect herself in the case that they lost. She didn't need to tell the whole boardroom that Shawn was on her period. That was really unnecessary to me.
I like Gilbert and I was sorry to see him go, but I think he was the right choice to be fired although I wish it had been Geraldo.
