If SHE says she's an equal, you should treat her as an equal in your judgements.

It's not Special Olympics Celebrity Apprentice! If it was, Gary Busey would have had a higher handicap!

...and a bicycle helmet on, like Special Ed!

She was referring to LaToya's light skin color. Some blacks are predjudiced against other blacks with lighter skin.

I did not take it that way, at all. It would make no sense in the context in which it was said. NeNe had just come back from the boardroom expressing that she thought LaToya had no skills and was light for the tasks...and LaToya survived.

Love how the true Starr showed her true colors. Telling Nene she was doing the wrong thing by attacking the black women of CA.

Not to completely "go there" but NeNe calling LaToya "Casper the Ghost" smacked of the internal issues of "colorism" which exists amongst non-Whites (or among Blacks in this particular instance) Nene perpetuated nearly ever negative stereotype that exists regarding African American women. And I still find it quite ironic that her charity is fighting against domestic violence

Much nicer way to end the show, when they both did so well, and raised so much money!

I thought he meant it was different because he picked a guy this time.

He picked a guy last year and other years.

Nope, skin color 100% IMO

I thought it stunk, period.

I was expecting to see Geoffrey for more than 2 seconds. Marlee's part in it was good, but Hatch and Meat were ridiculous and fractured the whole thing, IMO.

In addition, Meat was screaming something about being a bad-ass, which seems saying the word "ass" would make it unusable. The executives didn't say anything about that though (that we know of).

Anyway, I thought it would have been better to just have Marlee's part and then more of Geoffrey. It could have been a classy commercial.

Rich's commercial had continuity and was tight. I think Meat had too much input into Marlee's and it showed. I thought it strange that she allowed him to do that because they had just lost a task where he had much input into a commercial. I think both times made her judgment questionable.
