Team Analysis:

My team made it through Episode 3 without much damage. The only team member of mine that was on the hot seat was Summer Sanders. Goldberg, Maria, and Selita, performed their tasks without any complaints. I haven’t quite figured out Selita yet, but it seems like a brain is a package deal with her good looks… surprising to me.
Clearly Cyndi Lauper is a Celebrity Apprentice assassin, meaning any female Project Manager is at risk as long as she has to be managed. Summer Sanders made an effort to incorporate her into the project but she is simply too crazy to control (and extremely annoying). If the women didn’t win the challenge, it would have been a Summer Sanders vs. Cyndi Lauper Board Room meeting, with Cyndi somehow getting Trump’s approval. The win was key.
Goldberg continues to impress. He doesn’t argue and continually gets the job done. I expect him to make the later rounds as long as he doesn’t have some major character flaw we find out about in later episodes.
So far, so good. I’m still in the hunt and have absolutely no worries regarding McFly’s team, or lack thereof.

Overall, it was an interesting week for the team.
I’m concerned that Rod Blagojevich is certifiably insane. Can someone get my No. 1 pick a copy of Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing? The dude cannot use a computer. HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE? I have one thing going for me: Although Rod was called out as the weak link by Michael Johnson, he’s not as crazy as Bret Michaels. Alright, he might be crazier than him, but he channels it in a way where he flies under the radar better. But I’m pretty sure there’s no chance a crazy person is winning Celebrity Apprentice 3.
I thought Michael’s literal approach to the contest was fair, and he seems to be a solid manager. But you know he’s on thin ice now. Should he come up in the cross hairs of The Donald again, he’s toast. One thing that I did like was the multiple references to how trustworthy chefs are when Trump was listening. Curtis is slicing and dicing his way to the finals (nice) and I love it.
As for Sharon, it was another week of laying in the weeds. I’m waiting for her blow up. She did get rather candid about Summer, which is awesome. It’s gonna go down soon.

Hmm…where do I begin? Cyndi is increasingly becoming more and more senile. Michaels is surprisingly charismatic, considering he’s got a bad case of permanent PMS. How they both made it this far is anyone’s guess.
Worst of all, Strawberry quit. He tried to play it off as if he was a “team player” and was sacrificing himself for team Rocksolid, but at the end was called out for just being tired and wanting to go home to relax. So, my second choice turned out to be both a quitter and a liar. Great.
Holly stayed quiet as a mouse, and I realize now that she’s my last hope. Now if she could just learn how to use PowerPoint…
