The funny thing is that in terms of the actual public-facing aspects of the task, they had Andretti front and center. Who cares if he was the PM? They had him drive the car, then get up on stage and talk about how great it was to drive. It's not like consumers are saying "Yes, Michael Andretti says it's a good car, but why didn't he decide on the format for the Q&A?"

I still don't understand the judging criteria for this last challenge, and apparently neither did the men's team nor Trump or his kids (at least they wouldn't explain it in any understandable way). I would pay to see the men's presentation, and you couldn't pay me to endure the women's. A very...unusual...result.

I haven't watched the show, but it sounds like the criteria was that Buick thought they were going to get an Andretti endorsement for free.

Carolla pulls through on today's podcast giving some insight into what went on behind the scenes. Very interesting stuff. He talks to Penn as well.

Wait, does this ever happen? I want to be completely done with this show now that Adam got fired, but I don't want to miss it if he comes back.

There's always a chance Adam could be back at the end. Once its final 2 they bring back fired people to help the final 2.

It definitely felt like they picked the cast, then tailored the challenges to it. Him not stepping up was just unfathomable. The way Trump came across was that they made that challenge just for Andretti and he was personally offended that he didn't take lead. If he isn't going to step up for the car challenge what the hell is he there for?

I missed the start of the episode but did they show Michael Andretti saying he didn't want to be the project leader, as Adam stated on the podcast?
It was incredibly annoying, listening to the podcast, to keep hearing Adam refer to "Steven Jobs" - when has he ever been called Steven?

When the teams huddled, Andretti immediately brought up Adam's name. So he didn't specifically say no, but he didn't volunteer either - and this was right after Trump told Andretti this was a perfect task for him.

Andretti's reasoning for not taking the PM role didn't even really make sense. Sure, Adam is the better choice to host the presentation. But that doesn't mean the presenter and the PM have to be the same person. The women had Tia up there even though Debbie was PM.

He wasn't disputing the spelling of Carolla's last name. He was saying that the Toyota car is spelled Corolla. Yes, he was nitpicking one letter, completely disregarding the fact that they still sound completely alike when spoken.
The person above who said he gets annoyed easily seems dead on.

Yeah, I was pointing out they are spelled differently. But anyway, my point was that I didn't believe the judges would penalize the team because someone had a name that sounds the same as one of their competitor's cars. I couldn't tell if the person who originally posted the comment was serious or not. There was no 
in his post, so I took his post as a serious accusation. Sorry that I am so easily annoyed.
