Moment of the Week: Teddy's Revelation (From G's to Gents)
On this week's From G's to Gents, we learned something interesting about Teddy. The G who was clearly one of the front-runners in the competition with his dreads and Southern drawl casually made his way into Fonzworth Bentley's office where he apparently had something to tell Mr. B. After a bit of pussyfooting, Teddy admitted something which no one was expecting. "My girl, she ... she sells herself. I take the money she gives me or whatever, she brings more girls around, and I get money from them," but contends that "I'm not a pimp." Teddy's admission earned him Moment of the Week status simply for it's shocking nature. On a related note, he was NOT the contestant eliminated this week ... Cheers to you Tedward.
Contestant of the Week: Dennis Rodman (Celebrity Apprentice)
Yes, you did read that correctly: Dennis Rodman is a participant in this season of The Celebrity Apprentice and he has provided all the entertainment one would expect from a 6'8" alcoholic, occasional cross-dresser who, for whatever reason, is constantly draped in Ed Hardy clothing. Now firstly, one may wonder what qualifies Rodman to be part of a show centered around business savvy, but a quick look at his credentials shows Rodman to be a versatile professional, having succeeded in the realms of basketball (as a 5-time NBA Champion as well as a 2-time defensive player of the year), professional wrestling (as part of WCW's illustrious nWo, fighting along side Hulk Hogan), and even acting (the nigga was in Simon Sez!!!). Now that that's been established, we can move on to what garnered Rodman this weeks title (yes ... there is more).
After a few weeks of lackluster, effortless (not in a good way) performances that included such moments as him refusing to get out of a truck for wont of being noticed by other people, and skipping a full day of a challenge with "eye problems" which apparently is code for a wicked hangover. As per Mr. Trump's challenge for Dennis to prove himself as integral to his team, he decided to act as project manager for the coming task of running part of the Loews Hotel in NYC. Dennis took a non-traditional approach to management by ignoring the, apparently unnecessary, delegation and assigning of tasks. After the trek to Carnegie Deli to get cookies for gift baskets in the patrons rooms, Dennis made his way to the kitchen to drop them off, and decided to get his drank on, as it were. Pounding his trademark vodka-cranberries in rapid succession the Rod-man loosened up and took a (somehow) more leisurely approach to management. His biggest error proved to be going with two of the hotel guests to get dinner for a few hours, abandoning his team, neglecting to inform them of it, and ignoring their calls. In the end, this led to the least climactic board room scene in the history of The Apprentice ... instead of any type deliberation, Trump turned his attention to Dennis and in essence said "-_- ... kthxbye". Alas Mr. Rodman won't be there for alcohol and insanity induced outbursts, but we thank him for the good times he gave us.
Show of the Week: True Life: I'm Addicted to Porn
Seriously ... Need I say more?
*Honorable Mention: Que and Brian Throw Down (Making the Band 4)
Quelle surprise, one of Diddy's groups is having issues. The root of this years annual Making the Band fight was Que's paranoia and Brian's temper. This could be the path down which Day26 is headed which would corroborate the "Making the Band curse" as Diddy so eloquently stated. If nothing else, we can be sure of one comment that Brian made: "It's never ever gonna be the same."
And that was this week in reality television, folks. Be sure to let me know if there's anything that you think should've made the list.
Vaya con Dios
