Reality Bites (actually, just Alex bites)

Faithful readers of this blog will recall a little posting I made about a month back glorifying a certain contestant on The Apprentice, season 3 (mercifully almost at an end). Well, in the ensuing weeks he's revealed himself to be a completely incompetent, arrogant, lazy prick. Somehow he just kept sliding through week after week of losing tasks due to his incredibly bad decisions and overall piss-poor performance on the few responsibilities he had.

(And we were also the unfortunate witnesses of a series of pseudo-hetero man-dates with his bestest buddy on the show, Bren [yech! but who turned out to be a little more competent than Alex despite getting fired first], blow-drying his armpits after a shower, designing the dumbest / most useless piece of office furniture I've ever seen, take a nap instead of working, and just generally stinking up the place with creatively arrogant comments like "Bren is my oasis in this vast imbecilic land. Like I’m surrounded by morons and their mascots" and "While Erin and Stephanie are space cadets, they are firmly grounded in the gravity of the fact that one of the two of them are going to get fired tonight".)

I still can't quite figure out how he had time to 1) have his highlights redone and 2) have his highlights undone in the span of a few weeks when the others are supposedly running on 2-3 hours of sleep and 1 meal a day.

Not that the remaining 3 are any better, really (well, the women kinda are, but not by much). Let's just say that Trump gets what he deserves with this bunch, and leave it at that. I don't even care who wins now.

But Alex, good riddance. I can't believe I ever rooted for you. Humph.

I'm not bitter. I've just got a little schadenfreude thing going on here.

(Gotta chuckle at Alex's last words in the cab ride outta there post-firing. Something about "I've got 10 ideas to start a brand-new business... I can't wait to start a whole new life..." I chimed in, "you mean you're gonna finally come out now?" heh.)

p.s. Alex, if you're reading this, give me a call sometime. [Did I just type that??!!!??? ]
