Jessie, if the bad advice you gave to your "friend" was intentional (and her snarky comment in the boardroom made me think that it was), then you are one totally evil bitch. And everyone's totally oblivious. Spectacular!

I can't stop watching this. I think it's fascinating. When I got home from a near all-nighter at work the other day at 5:00 am and still had to get back to work by 10:00am, I still watched it before I went to bed.
I can't really read Jessie. Her mannerisms and speech (the bird thing in the last episode was classic) make her seem like a stupid bumpkin, and I'm amazed that people like her can be taken seriously in any professional setting.
The advice she gave Kristi could have been right for a different person, but it was terrible for the Donald. I don't know that much about whether or not the guy really does business like this (the popular press suggests that he does, but I'm sure it's exxagerated), but he acts like he likes aggressive, mildly inappropriate people who are going to get peoples' attention and stir people up. He seems like he doesn't like people who don't stand up for themselves. And that's exactly what Jessie told Kristi to do: not stand up for herself. It might be Jessie being slick and playing the game. She hasn't really seemed to make many decisions or provide much insight, she's just skated along and been friends with people. She might have been wise to get rid of Kristi when she could. Omarossa and Heidi are both annoying and will piss people off enough to get themselves fired eventually. Omarossa is so constantly looking for racism ("WHat did you say about black people?") that she will alienate herself from Kwame, even more so when she tries to play the race card with him so that they stick together. Heidi is a time-bomb. I love that her title is "Senior Account Executive." I would love to hear the details of what all these people really do.
Anyway, I'm sure that everyone knew that the Donald would want to vote a woman off to even things out a little bit, and Jessie knew that it wouldn't be her because she was tight with Kristi. By giving her bad advice and talking trash about her, she sealed Kristi's fate, and then it was too late for Kristi to take her to the boardroom, since Jessie said that at the end after all the ripping on others was all done.
Kristi also deserves to get voted off for the people she picked. It's almost like she did it on purpose, trying to get the worst people. And the one possible good pick was Jessie, who backstabbed her. I think Nick is kind of a tool, but he did a great job of picking Amy, Bill and Ereka, and Tammy's at least smart, if a bit of a prima donna. It will be interesting to see which of them gets fired when someone has to be from their team.
I think Tammy's inappropriate comments will probably get her in long run, but she seems smart enough and hot enough to get by like that in the real world, so who knows.
My vote on the "first romance" is Ereka and Bill. Or Amy and Bill. Or both.
