Night. Then day. Then Angie, running for the Rhonaphone. Rhona says that Trump will meet them at Trump World Tower at 8:30 AM. We then see the candidates outside Trump World Tower, and Trump emerging with George and some lady who is not Carolyn. Guess what? Carolyn is away on a business trip. You can almost hear a nation of saddened viewers all, "Where's Carolyn?", and it's like, she's undoubtedly mingling with the international representatives of the Federation of Kicking Your Ass, Buddy, so just let her do her work and don't complain. The NotCarolyn is Jill Kramer, who also works for Trump and will be accompanying George as the "eyes and ears" of the Hair. Trump starts by telling the teams that they'd better get on the stick with this after sucking so hard on the last task. Because if they don't, he's going to turn this TV show around right now. He goes on to point out his limo, the better to demonstrate that he has lots and lots of money, in case you hadn't heard. But also, in theory, to make the point that he does a lot of business on wheels. And in celebration of the idea of business on wheels, the teams are each going to be given Airstream trailers in which to set up some sort of mobile service business. (Incidentally, if you want to read a lot of cool stuff about Airstream trailers -- this is how I learned about them -- I recommend an awesome book called Diners, Bowling Alleys, and Trailer Parks: Chasing The American Dream In The Postwar Consumer Culture, which is one of those sociology geek books that connects everything with everything else. And yes, that book means I also know a little about pinsetters. But I digress. As happens occasionally.)
