The next day. Manhattan. Again. Up in S4, Assorama is walking on the treadmill, explaining that she's "not worried about anybody in the Boardroom," because she will "talk circles around Jessie and her farm ideas, and Troy and his country attitude, and Kwame with his MBA perspectives." I cannot tell you how firmly I feel that I would never hire anyone, ever, who had that little respect for the people she works with, period. For starters, a woman who can't control her mouth enough not to yap about "country attitude" and "farm ideas" is eventually going to get you sued, and I am serious. She's going to pick the wrong thing to say, and it's going to land you directly in court. She then talks to Jessie, and basically tells her that she was the worst at the task and should expect to be taken to the final table. "You were horrible yesterday," she says, which is gratuitous and unnecessary, not to mention substantially overstated. Jessie thinks she did well, which Assorama, no English major in addition to no diplomat, calls "ironic," because she thinks Jessie did badly. That's not ironic, Assorama. "Incorrect" and "ironic" may look similar, but they're actually very different words. Kind of like "Miz-ha-ree" and "Miz-ra-hee." She says that Jessie was so bad that a failure to take her into the Boardroom would reflect badly on Assorama. Yeah...still not ironic. Sorry, dear. Anyway, Assorama is clearly looking for Jessie to agree with her that she was horrible, and I just don't agree that Jessie did anything so bad that she was obligated to do that. So Assorama is forced to leave unsatisfied, so at least that makes me happy.

Jessie gives a whimpery interview in which she insists that whatever happens on a task, "it's the character behind the person that's the most impor-tant." I don't know...she's going to have a hard time selling that argument to me, considering what she pulled with Kristi last week. I don't know that the bad advice about passivity was on purpose, but telling her that she, Jessie, would support her when she never intended to was not necessary, and was pretty snakelike. Troy voices over, as they leave for the Boardroom, that the two people who are in jeopardy are clearly Assorama and Jessie. He says again that Jessie was "absolutely the weakest one." Yes, the law of the jungle has clearly identified Jessie as the wounded gazelle. Eat her! She's weak! Eat her!
