First, I want to say- Yay, Meat! Well done!
I also think it's a good idea to give each episode a separate thread- it's more organized that way.
That said, let me be another one to say that I'm also surprised at how bitchy some members (stress
some- I don't agree with Wario's assessment that everyone except Meat are jerks
) of the women's team are- Dionne Warwick in particular!
I could not believe some of the things she said, for instance calling being deaf "sad" in front of Marlee the way she did. I'm glad that Marlee didn't let that pass unmentioned in the boardroom. I was also surprised by her diva-ness, along with Star, wanting her name on the cover. I agree with Lisa's decision that it was a team effort, thus only the team name should be on the cover. I think an acknowledgment on the inside would have been appropriate, as La Toya suggested. I do think that they threw Lisa under the bus, especially seeing how she didn't want to be project manager to begin with. While Star may be a little overbearing, she did do a lot for the project, so I don't think she should have been fired. IMO, it should have been Dionne- I think many of her team are frustrated with her, but are afraid to say so given her "legend" status and her age (which they respect).
The men's team thus far seems to be getting along better than the women, although I think Jose Canseco needs to lighten up a little!
I honestly thought their book was better than the women's (I'll buy one, too
), and while the women's play was very cute, and Lisa did do an excellent job reading the book to the kids, I liked the men's play better.
Jose was "a little stiff", but he did OK. I think it was cute that Meat played on his "funny name", but when he asked the kids if he was scary I flashed on that video that was posted a while back of that woman who was scared of him at the show.
(I did think the confetti scared them a little). I think Lil Jon was good, too- I like him.
