A good leader also knows how to delegate, not necessarily does the tasks themselves. I don't think Star was spectacular, but I don't think she was bad, either. She didn't know how large the donation was from the firehouse, and I think she was right to focus on the $40K, which she knew she had coming. I agree with her that she probably couldn't have made anywhere near that much in the store, though I'm not sure I agree with her decision to close it, particularly once the $40K donor agreed to take only one pizza. I'm not liking Lisa much right now- she seems two-faced and whiny to me (prior to this show, I had no opinion of her either way).

I don't think Richard Hatch will win Mr. Congeniality, but he's very shrewd- he couldn't have won Survivor otherwise. I think he will make good TV, but I also agree with Trump that at least Hatch will be a strong competitor, even if he isn't well-liked. I hated to see David leave over Hatch, but he really didn't defend himself much at all. I agree with you that I don't think Meat would have that problem.
