Wow, what an episode. Star seriously underestimated Meat. Like Caryl says, just because he is kind, decent and gracious doesn't mean he is a pushover and he saw right through her. He's been observing her week after week manipulate and deceive and throw one person after another under the bus, but when she tried that with him, he was ready for her. I personally preferred team ASAP's ad over the men's but I do prefer humour and that wasn't what the execs were after. I'm now thinking Trump was having us on about the cops being called, since the only cop anywhere to be seen was Meat's character. Star made her tactics clear when at the start she said it's now an individual thing. How convenient for her to just happen to keep forgetting those simple lines and even when put on a cue card, she still couldn't get it right. It was so obvious what she was doing. I really felt sorry for John being sick and at a disadvantage with only the 2 of them. I bet they were really missing Meat and his input right at that time. I am so glad I knew in advance that Meat was safe or I would have been shitting myself seeing him left to Star's evil devices, but he was ready for her and held his own and stood firm. Unlike Nene shrieking at her like a banshee and Hope and Latoya being meek and mild and unable or unwilling to defend themselves, Meat deflected every argument she tried to make calmly and effectively and wouldn't waver. I had to laugh at the secretary outside trying to keep a straight face while they were arguing. Boy, she's seen it all. Star telling Meat to stop yelling was funny. If she thinks that was him yelling, I think she needs to replay his argument with Busey, now THAT was yelling. Meat is a man of integrity and honour who takes responsibility and owns up to his mistakes. If Meat had been the reason they lost the task, he would have taken responsibility and said so and let himself be fired. Not shift responsibility on to everyone else, that's Star's style. And I liked how he thanked George when he stood up for him. Well done Meat, you showed you are a man of integrity and were not going to take any crap from anybody. You handled Star with grace, dignity and honesty and called her bluf and came out the winner. About time Trump saw her for who she really was and fired her arse!!!!! Congrats Meat on making the final 4, really proud of you.
