Lisa finds herself in the position of being Lou-wrangler, and she's all too happy to send him out with Dayana on a late-night mission to find their Miss Universe a one-piece bathing suit to wear to the presentation, as the poor little bird only owns thongs. Once they're gone, Lisa talks mad shit to Dee re: Dayana, but Dee won't sign on, which makes Lisa even angrier.
At the presentation the next day, Penn returns and doesn't miss a beat. Well, one beat, but we'll get to that. Lou is a double edged sword as a spokesman: he's the personal perspective the team needs, but he can't talk worth a damn. The Walgreens people and Alison Sweeney eat it up, though. Lisa's just happy he stuck to the script. So the team members do all the "-ing" stuff you can do while walking (Penn juggles; Dayana...is a giggly, dumb pageant queen, I guess; Lisa goes on a "date" with an audience member and cracks jokes at him). It all seems fun enough. There is the moment when Penn says "Wal-Mart" instead of Walgreens which, I have to admit, is totally a mistake I would make. Alison Sweeney actually gasps, which I love, partially because that's how I envision her Days character Sami Brady will react when her son comes out to her on the show. (You guys should maybe be watching Days. Lisa Rinna is back on it!) Anyway, Dayana makes the save by doing some goofy ditzy pageant shtick, which is to totally up Trump's alley. I wonder if I'm overrating Aubrey's chances and underrating Dayana's, because Trump is all about the kind of stuff she does. After the presentation, Allison points out the weird gerunds behind the signage (itching and such). And I just want to reiterate, even if the judges won't, that "Walk and Do It All" is just the worst slogan.
Team Unanimous:
"Your reputation precedes you as the creative one, Aubrey." Clay drawls as he sashays past Aubrey. I don't universally love him, but these are the moments when I really appreciate him. Me-YOW! Anyway, all you really need to know about Team Unanimous is that Aubrey is a total nightmare from start to finish, taking over the task, ordering people around in her Kim K voice, generally being in love with herself and driving Arsenio in particular further and further off the deep end, in a way we won't even be able to measure until the boardroom.
