I didn't watch the entire season but the 3 - 4 episodes I did see, IMO Joan didn't deserve to win.
She is nothing more than a nasty old woman. NO one deserves to be called Hitler and Annie was right last night, had Joan said the things she said in a real board room, Hilter, Mafia Friends, and whatever else the drama queen screamed, she'd been fired long ago and probably have a huge lawsuit to deal with.
Well I'm going to try not to rant, but here goes. First of all, I'm not a big fan of Annie Duke to begin with but I think she did what Trump has in the past indicated is necessary to win. As for how she and all the other competitors were depicted, it was clear the show's editors were doing plenty of cutting to create the personalities they wanted. Now as for Joan...
How someone that built their career by publicly criticizing other people can call someone else duplicitous is beyond me. If it sounds like I'm taking this personally it's because I do. I'm a former resident of Vegas and I have friends and family that are PGs (professional gamblers). They are not "lower than trash" and they don't have mafia affiliations. Across the board they're decent, college-educated family people. I don't see their profession as being any different from athletes--they're really good at a game--except maybe with a mathletes spin. For Trump who owns several casinos and NBC which happens to have poker-oriented programming to allow Rivers to disparage a community that did nothing but help to set new fundraising records for their show is nothing short of offensive to me. And that's all I'm going to say about that.
Me and my husband really got into this show this time around! I can't stand Trump so we never watched the show before. The only reason I tuned in this time was for Clint Black!
I was disapointed to see him act like an idiot though!! Didn't seem like him at all! Then did you hear his remark on the last show when Trunp asked him who he would fire...Clint said, " your editor"!!!! LOL! Ok so now I feel better that he's not really a jerk but that the show wanted to make him look that way! Why do they need to do that? People want to see how these celebrities really act in "real life".
As for Annie vs Joan, I think Joan is a riot and Annie was a total *#@*$ but Annie did play the game better and should have won!
Can't wait to see who's on the next one now that I'm hooked!
