Jen and Sandy talk later, and Sandy asks Jen how she thinks Andy did in leading. Jen -- you're going to be shocked -- hedges and ass-covers, refusing again to say much of anything about anything except when she can suck up to PMs, which is what she always does, just as Ivana said. If you're not the PM, Jen has no interest in anything you have to say. Sandy says she wasn't crazy about the way Andy passed out money and so forth, but Jen just eats her pasta and doesn't say anything. Sandy repeats in an interview that she thinks Andy might not be mature enough in the end, and that she thinks he has some things to account for in the task.
The sun sets. Now, we join this week's Boardroom, about to be in progress. Trump comes in. "Who came up with the overall concept for this?" Trump asks, indicating the nasty-looking bottle. Andy says that in a narrow sense, the "best of both worlds" thing was his. Trump asks Andy, "Do you really like that?" And he says it like he's gesturing toward a pile of dog poo, which is what makes it so funny. Andy says that he does really like the concept. "I do. I like that bottle a lot," he says, not having learned anything from...well, never mind. You'd have to say "birth," really. George challenges the team on whether they can really imagine those bottles selling in large numbers when they don't even fit in, for instance, your car's cup holder. ["And this is why I love George, because that was my first thought too -- that I would have to try to wedge the bottle between the seat and the emergency brake." -- Sars] Andy starts to talk about "if the base were removed," which is...huh? If you take off the base, it won't even stand up, and it still won't fit in a normal cup holder. Give up, Andy! Trump mocks the bottle by pretending to use it like a barbell, and that's gotta hurt. Trump making your product look like fitness equipment is not a good thing. It makes Carolyn laugh, at least. Asked if he disagrees with the Pepsi decision, Andy maintains that indeed, their bottle is better. Oh, that crazy kid.
