Well it’s so funny Lauren

Well it’s so funny Lauren should ask, because I was JUST thinking about last night’s Apprentice. I know we’ve talked about Stacy R. around here quite a bit, but now? She is gone! We are happy! I mean Stacie J. was a little crazy around the edges and it felt pretty good when she left, but so far nothing has compared to the complete and utter glee we had when Trump gave the shrimp the stone cold slapdown last night.

We actually cheered.

This was partly because of the brilliant editing that led us through this course of events:

Stacy R. is bossy! She asks a lot of stupid questions and then interrupts people!
Wes hates her. The team hates her. Apex Corp. is suddenly launched into glorious winning arc without her barrage of pointless nagging.

Andy loses cell phone.

Stacy R. is overly excited about spiked dog collars and wearing the ugliest, least-dog-washing pair of shoes in existence.

Carolyn makes snide comment about Stacy R. We feel so justified. Carolyn's in our corner: it's only a matter of time, now.

Mosaic loses.

In the initial board room, all talk is about Wes. Where is Stacy R.’s crazy? It’s being kept quiet! Good lord, they don’t talk about her once! We pray she interrupts someone.

In a weak moment back at the penthouse, Wes promises he won’t sell out Stacy R. if she won’t sell him out.

Stacy R. flares her nostrils and they are big. Real big.

Luckily, Wes sells her out real big, too, and we are PROUD.

But suddenly Trump is very concerned about the lost cell phone. Everyone is asking

Wes about his leadership skills.

And just as we’re starting to lose faith, Trump turns on Stacy R.

And the wrath is fiery and great.

Excellent TV watching.

Another fabulous moment: Ivona blaming Jennifer M. for disorganization and “not knowing where the line is between team leader and team player.” Yes, Ivona, unlike your stellar leadership skills. Lest we forget her leading the fried chicken/bloody mary ice cream flavor brainstorming session. Which was nothing if not the portrait of great leadership.

UPDATE: Stacy has blessed us with a webpage. Y'know how when you cut off someone's picture mid-calf, it doesn't do any wonders for their height?

Anyway, you'll notice topic "Dating 101, Dating Tips for Young Professionals" under possible things you can pay her to discuss. Wouldn't that make a great book? (hint hint). Don't YOU want dating tips from Stacy R?
