Remember when Omarosa burst into the boardroom last season before Trump had called everybody back in, and he scolded her for it? She later said a producer had told her to go back in because Trump wanted to speak to her alone. Could Bradford's departure have been planned all along? Possibly, but I thought it was to shake things up and keep people watching, rather than to avoid accusations of racism. I can't see how firing Ivana would have been viewed as racist. Practically everyone in the room agreed that Ivana needed to go. Brian I’m sure there’s much more going on behind the scenes than we know about, even for reality shows.

Like last year, DT feels obligated to carry them as long as possible to avoid charges of racism. Already in round 2, it seems almost certain he has to fire one of his 3 minority contestants but the show's execs concoct a way out. I have a hunch that one of the staff had a chat with Brad hinting that DT would be extremely impressed if he gave up his exemption. What the heck, DT knows Brad was the top performer so there's no way he'll fire him. Right? Wrong! Brad takes the bait. DT practically orders Ivana to bring Brad back into the boardroom. From the look on Brad's face, he only then realizes he's been had. The rest is history. DT got rid of his best player because he didn't want a phone call from Jesse Jackson in the morning.

I just watched the episode. That was indeed a shocker. I think Bradford has a serious issue with knowing when to speak up and when to shut up. If I had been him I would have been sitting there with a zipped lip. I understand what he was trying to do, but WHY did he not defend his position? He should have stated that the reason he gave up his exemption was because he felt so confident in his performance that he didn't need it. That having an exemption was the "weak" way to go. The speech he gave in the cab if given to Trump might have swayed The Donald (I don't know how to do that trademark thing) as well. What he was trying to get (as he explained too late) was the respect of his teammates. I dunno... seemed like a bad call to me, too. Vic Woah… I just watched the episode. That was indeed a shocker.

Especially when Ivana and Stacie J. were beyond incompetent... It just didn't seem like the right decision to me -- not even close.
