Freak show Melissa
Whoa! I think Ivette from Big Brother has an evil twin. Melissa just couldn't stop shooting off at the mouth, even in front of Trump and his people in the boardroom. Kristi was smart to hold her tongue and let Melissa ramble on. She was talking herself right into that cab home. Melissa felt she knew what all Hispanic people thought because she was Hispanic. Who else does she speak for? Does she speak for all women because she's a woman? Does she speak for all 30 year olds because she's 30? Does she speak for all raving lunatics because she's a raving lunatic? She's totally wrong that most women don't like her because they're intimidated by her. They don't like her because she's irrational, unwilling to work with others and doesn't know when to shut the hell up. I think the one mistake team Capital Edge made was with their flyer. Having the XXX where it looked like a pornography advertisement was really bad and somebody should have pointed it out before they had a bunch of flyers printed up and posted them everywhere. Other than that, the rest of the girls besides Melissa worked their tails off and they were so close to the other team in profits. If Melissa had been helping them rather than wasting her time bitching, they might very well have won the challenge. Thank goodness her team is rid of her so they can seriously compete against the guys next week. Don't they do any psychological tests on potential candidates for the Apprentice or do they knowingly bring loose screws in to cause drama and see how the other candidates handle it?

I'm so glad Melissa is gone, too! What a brassy, loud mouthed bitch! She pushed her boundaries when she kept going on and on at the fitness center about being a Hispanic and how she knows "those people." Okay, you said it, we get it, STFU already! Kristi, the project manager "admitted that the "XXX" flier was her idea, though she said it was executed wrong." Maybe it was a blessing in disguise for the girls to lose so they could get rid of Melissa!

You'd never guess what a loose cannon Melissa was from her bio. Looks like she didn't learn much from one of her favorite books (How to Win Friends and Influence People ). :lol: Melissa, 30, was a star softball and soccer athlete for much of her youth. She graduated magna cum laude from the University of Denver, with a dual B.S. degree in Accounting and International Finance, and two Master Degrees in Accounting and Computer Information Systems. Melissa's Fortune 500 professional foundation includes accounting and tax consulting at KPMG, followed by becoming Vice President of Investments at Wachovia Securities. She built a portfolio of investments valued more than $48 million in her first year as a stockbroker. True to her entrepreneurial spirit, Melissa founded Mosaic Co., offering title and inspection services, mortgage lending, and lease-option housing, after many years of buying, selling, and rehabbing properties. She recently acquired several apartment buildings in Fla. and is currently expanding into the hospitality and senior housing industries. What is your favorite music? Anything really. I love many different types of music: jazz, dance, classical, pop-country, etc. I don't like heavy metal or hard rap. What are your favorite books? Seven Habits of Highly Successful People, and How to Win Friends and Influence People Any well-written business or life-skills book that I could learn from and apply its' principles to my life. What are your favorite TV shows? The Apprentice, Contender, most sports, and CNN What are your favorite movies? A Few Good Men, Jerry Maguire, Coach Carter, and Meet the Parents (one and two)

What are your favorite books? Seven Habits of Highly Successful People, and How to Win Friends and Influence People I get the feeling she didnt really read them, just like to use the titles to impress people. Unless of course one of the habits of highly successful people is to totally and completely annoy your colleagues, or maybe you can influence people by using that old excuse, "you are just jealous of me".

Re: Melissa
She really shot herself in the foot when she said she didn't get along with women. :roll: Did she honestly think she had a chance to slip on by with that stupid comment? I think Melissa was this season's Omarosa. Every season tends to have one.
