All I can say is that the only reason why Kwame's team won was beacuse of Bill. Kwame still has yet to show why he deserves to still be on the show. He has done nothing and Bill knows it.

Also,
I agree with the decision to fire Katrina, however I think Amy is overrated from what we've seen.
Especially last night's episode. She didn't put a lot into that mission. She didn't organize anything well, come up with a plan, slept, and just looked very depressed at the car dealership.
Then denies coming up with the idea after Donald calls it lousy.
I know she must be pretty good as everyone there likes her and kept picking her to switch teams.
But I agree with Katrina, that it wasn't all due to Amy, that some of it was luck and she received too much credit on prior missions.
I do think she deserves the top girl prize. I just don't know if she deserves to win.
So far I think Bill has been a better "thinker/leader". I also like Troy for different reasons, just a good attitude.
I think Nick has some good qualities (they all do) but haven't really seen a "leader" in him.

But I guarantee they didn't register "1,xxx" new people.
I bet ATLEAST 90% already had a players card.
I think I saw only one computer set up to enter new card information at each promotion spot for players. For one person to do ~1,200 would take a long time!
Also I would THINK that the players could enter each drawing.
I can't imagine the casino saying to their PLAYERS, you have to choose one drawing to enter ONLY. Wouldn't make sense.
So the only key was to "swipe your card" to enter the drawing.
Then they either counted for tracking the "money gambled" by either which promotion they entered First, or MORE LIKELY DOUBLE COUNTED THE MONEY if they entered both!
(i've entered many similar type drawings at casinos)
Thus what he boiled down to was the car rental give-away was able to register MORE because it was FASTER (no line to take time to spin a wheel).
I bet most of the ~700 people that entered the wheel give-away also did the car rental too.
The only difference was the FEW HIGH ROLLERS Bill got to swipe their card at their promotion but NOT at the car rental promotion.

Excellent points. It only goes to further show how asinine this challenge was. And here I thought that the rental apartment challenge would be the most ridiculous of the challenges.

On CNBC today, Bill Griffith and co had Katrina on. She was smokin' and wearin' a short skirt. The ladie host commented on that, etc.
Neways, she said that she was actually the one to suggest the advertising on back of the rickshaws and that Amy simply repeated the suggestion and the way it was edited made it seem like Amy came up with the idea. She also repeated that Nick was playin' Amy (as evidenced by his smirk when he left the boardroom).

Access Hollywood showed Katrina doing an interview wherein she accused Amy of having sex with a castmate during the show, then having sex with another castmate after the show!

Katrina is one catty b*tch! [MRRRROW! Hiss...]
First she attacked Amy in all of her personal interview segments. And then after getting fired, she spent her entire "final word" segment in the cab attacking Amy yet again!
