Trump flicks once more, this time on the subject of how auctions work and how, as a bidder, you need to know all the things getting auctioned so that you don't blow your wad on something stupid and have to pass up your heart's desire a few minutes later. George again brings up how the celebrities weren't onstage, and Randal gives a good supplemental answer to Mark's good answer, which is that it was cool to have them mixed in with the crowd, basically. The way he says it, you get there. Carolyn again brings up how the weather can now be forecasted, and Randal admits that they'd heard there was a 30\% chance of showers, and Carolyn totally scoffs: "If it was TEN I'd have a Plan B." Randal weakly argues that there were the "beginnings" of a Plan B, and Carolyn and George totally attack him on how this is not exactly true, forcing him to retreat to the whole " but we pulled it together in record time!" thing. Trump laughs that he's seen Carolyn do that plenty -- but changes his tune when he gets a look at her face. " But she always has a Plan B. We get rained out a lot, don't we, Carolyn?" Right, because: golf. "A little bit," she murmurs sweetly, "but we always have a plan." Trump then begins naming letters in the alphabet: "Plan B, and C, and D "
So really, why shouldn't he hire Rebecca, Trump asks Randal. (THE END!) Randal mentions that -- as he's worked closely with her, Mr. Trump -- he has located areas that still need development. She's relatively young, and she has a 1-2 losing record as PM, and was given up to Excel when her PM was asked the names of the weakest team members. (Which, to be honest, was just Alla Blovening off the last of the Toral residue, but the contrast with his constant demand still stands.) All of these things are true, and frankly, I've not seen her lead very much. The first time, she was kind of a bloody mess, the XM task she had Clay actively fucking with her and didn't effectively combat this -- she wasn't a target because Clay was so unappealing as a person -- and the last task, she was only nominally PM anyway. But she's done a hell of a lot (and was praised for it on both Dick's and the Star Wars task), and she gives better Boardroom than anyone in the history of the game, which is pretty important, and is the reason both Trump and I like her so much. (And if Alla hadn't played so rough and gotten fired, we would have gotten interviews, and she would have kicked ass on those too, being a better speaker than Randal and a better person than Alla.)
