Maria didn't stand out this week, as far as I could see. It's evident she has a sharp mind, so we'll see where she goes from here.

Maria walked 10 blocks without a cell phone. She wasted time without thinking that particular project through. She was quite verbal this week, so I think she's been watching and learning. (She could have been verbal last week, too, but different people see different things. I may have been concentrating on someone else at that time, and didn't catch it.)

Maria was a stand-up person, I felt, in this episode. However, the bottom line everyone talks about -- you know, the money -- was compromised. She did a big no-no by going over budget. I have a feeling she will be the next to go if her team loses next week. Stacy J. just bought Maria a week, two at the most, I predict.

But I've got to tell you, I like her. She's the only one that said they should wipe the slate clean as far as Stacy J. was concerned, and start over. Would have you recommended that? I don't know that I would have, but I was happy to hear her say it.

I don't know if she did it to give Stacy J. a chance, or if she did it to save some arguments and strife in their apartment. If they would all agree to do that, then they had a chance of having some peace. Maria definitely showed some common sense there.

I still like Maria. However, there's not a chance in heck <grin> that Trump will allow her to work for him when she screwed up the budget. He's looking for perfection, or as close as he can get anyway.

Maria, Maria, Maria. I like you, but I must admit, when you were trying to sell in the first part of the selling time, your eyes twitched and your arms moved. I think you will do much better if you are able to read and understand these success articles.

Maria did a great job as Project Manager this week. I don't think she'll last to the Top 5, but she did seem to be in her "realm" in this episode.

Caroline thought Maria tried for the sexy angle to bring in business. Maria did have on very high heels and kind of tight jeans, I think.

Maria wanted to go with more sex in the video, but that wasn't to be. Sex doesn't sell as strong sometimes as a man knowing who he is and what he stands for. I think they should have had Bill in their video speaking and visible. He stands for what they are all there to be.

Maria did well this week.

November 12, 2006

Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Maria lie again? She did not get the phone number on the flyers, but she said she did. She was on the winning team, but if they'd lost, I bet she would have been the one fired.

Fired!

Maria took over and wouldn't let anyone mess with her plans. She is not a team player, it looks like to me. She got fired this week for that reason.
