And it’s One, Two, Three, Four–What are We Fighting For?
And it’s One, Two, Three, Four–What are We Fighting For? by Roxanne McDonald

More dictionary definitions of “loyalty” than the Library of Congress would have; and one more gross exaggeration about “fighting for my life” make for the most heated war, yet. |
It’s not that all the remaining apprentice hopefuls are all that bellicose. It’s just that enough of them are—or have turned from being such happy, excited, energized team players to individuals once again, ugh, “fighting for their [lives].”
Frank used the cliché this time, and in such a cowardly way, too.
The love thing had nothing to do with it. Just ask Tina Turner.
Or maybe it did, I don’t know. I almost don’t care.
Was Tim “distracted”?
Was his spearheading the SmartMouth campaign ideas in any way influenced (poorly) by his subconscious desire to be humping (or kissing, or having make-up sex with, or whatever) Nicole instead?
Tim does start “The Apprentice: Los Angeles” episode off with his concessions that he is a mess. He does take responsibility for the failure to defend Nicole in some way when she was unilaterally shoved across town to the other camp. He does define loyalty in so many realistic terms. But oh, the conflicted feelings.
And he wasn’t all that clever to determine his loyalty to the Trumpire [yeah, I said it again] as not mutually exclusive from his loyalty to Nicole.
In response to this vacillating or ambiguous devotion on Tim’s part, Ivanka was incredibly sharp* in the boardroom, too, I noticed: She says it HAS to be…for, she adds, ambiguity will wreck his purpose there, will wreck him.
And wreck it does.
[*The other smart advice in this episode comes from Nicole’s mother, who, when asked what she thinks about the definition of loyalty and Tim and Nicole, etc., says to her daughter that she should keep her attention on the task, for that’s what she’s here for. Go sagacious woman, go!]
Okay, granted, Trump couldn’t, as he pointed out, fire Stephanie (especially not after she did that oh-so impressive delivery of a brochure that she made sound like a bedtime story she was reading to rattled children.
Trump couldn’t fire feisty Frank (especially since he didn’t get to see or hear the open-mouthed chomping of chips…eeegawd)—for Frank had tried to contest the going through with a weak idea/execution.
And he wasn’t going to fire the boy who has many times “fought for [his] life” (okay, enough already, James) for there is, Trump says, something special about James.
So as Tim intimated and admitted to us at the start of the show, the mess has to be cleaned up, and he has to go.
Wonder if he will pick up with Nicole where he left off…after the Trumpire of apprentice hopefuls has fallen.
