Both Lil' Jon and Meatloaf were fired tonight. John Rich and Marlee are already working on their tasks (Retro 7Up packaging, commercial and a event)for the finale which will air next week.

Looks like it will be a good one!!

I've tuned in a bit here and there, but have decided the whole "contest" is decided before it even starts. I can't stand Trump, so can only tune in a bit so I don't have to see or hear him. What I have seen, I have a whole new admiration of Rich and Marley, so who ever is slated to win, will be a good choice.

Thanks, I have been pulling for Rich and Marley. Like you say, either one would be a good choice. I will have to admit, Rich has been one cool good looking dude!

I think John Rich should win! Throughout the season, he has been the best player. Marlee is good, but she isn't nearly as good as John.

It was interesting when Trump asked each of the four finalists who should stay, and every one of them said John Rich!

I don't trust Marlee. I thought she was scheming and two-timing throughout the season.

Go John!!! He's my choice, has been from the start.

Next week will be exciting for sure. I googled 7-UP retro last nite to see if it shows the new products, and they are timing the release on the finale of the show. Makes sense!

John Rich all the way!! The man just exudes confidence and professionalism, not to mention he looks mighty fine hat and all and I could listen to him sing all day long, extremely intelligent man, and will fiercely protect his audience and country music fans to the end, he quickly got up in Richard Hatch's face when Richard oh so stupidly tried to say that country music fans were not smart or wealthy, very demeaning comments.

I loved the part where he was telling about Star Jones telling him if he was not married she would date him (like he would ask!) and the artwork fell off the wall at that very moment LOL he handled that scene perfectly! He is also a funny guy.

What I have noticed and don't understand is how Marlee treats her translator, she rarely speaks to him other than to translate, she turns her back on him and just walks away and leaves him,(many times he has no place to sit and has to stand off in the corner) he has many times just been left behind, in one case they all got on the elevator and it shut in his face and he shouted I will take the stairs! How rude, the guy is not just a servant but it sure seems that is how he is treated, like you are here for one reason speak only when spoken to, then go sit in the corner. I have seen the guys talk to him and John Rich hugged him at one point. I mean he is a person, he is there at least treat him as an equal not like some machine. It leads me to think Marlee may not be the nice sweet girl she wants people to think she is.

I haven't watched last nights episode yet but I will say that I think John Rich should win. He seems like a nice guy, hasn't caused any drama and is a hard worker.
