the thing that bugs me about this show is that, up until the last couple episodes, it focuses on who fucks up rather than who stands out as the best candidate. everyone is so scared about having blame placed on them in the boardroom that they are never working to their full potential. i don't blame the donald for firing people that fuck up really badly and make blatently obvious mistakes... but i think there are a number of people that got a raw deal and should've been kept around longer, especially this season (todd and vera come to mind, perhaps john as well).

I agree that it was easier to see John go after him being so incredibly annoying (especially in that last task). But to his credit, he was again the only one actually giving any effort; albeit doing things wrong, he at least showed the courage to step up and take charge.
Now that he's out, I can't see anyone else even remotely showing qualities of possibly winning. I'm almost uninspired to even tune in (as if I wasn't uninspired enough as it was).
As for Todd and Vera getting a raw deal, I think Todd may have gotten somewhat of an unfair deal. Danny was obviously the biggest idiot and most worthless member of that team from the start, but Todd was just an awful leader in that first task. I saw the recap show, and he was just horrendous. And Vera was just weak. I didn't even feel bad for her when she quit, because her reasons for being seemingly shell shocked was "[she hadn't] slept or eaten for 2-3 days straight"....Now, I don't normally take on silly tasks in short timespans with lots of pressure...but I can assure you that if I hadn't eaten for an entire day and was hungry, I would get something to eat. And if I had been up for a day straight, I would sleep. Pretty simple solution to a melodramatic and hilariously stupid complaint.
It's just sad that with each season, it's exponentially less and less about finding a competent person and more about the sensationalism of reality tv. And if that's going to be their game, at least get more attractive women on the show to increase the eye candy factor...might as well, when you're taking in guys who are talentless assclowns simply because they play guitar annoyingly and incessantly and can serve as the intriguing moron whom people tune in just to watch get fired.
