Trump asks about the variety pack, because Mark Burnett is waving to him offscreen, trying to fire anybody but Busey. Based on what we saw, it seems like it was Meat Loaf’s idea, but since nobody mentions his name, I’m going to assume that we didn’t see everything. Which is a shocker, I know. Busey says Lil Jon helped come up with it. And as Lil Jon explains the history of the variety pack, Trump notices that Meat Loaf is just about vibrating with frustration. Trump says he’s going to make Meat Loaf very happy, which he does by firing Busey. That was anticlimactic. I thought they’d have to nuke him from space to take him out. Backbone actually waits in the Boardroom until Busey gets on the elevator, so there’s no awkward last words.
You could tell, even after the entire project crashed and burned, Trump didn’t want to send Busey home because the show is less entertaining without him.
See, I disagree. Trump only thinks the show is less entertaining, but I was so much more relaxed watching this week without his crazy ass invading the personal space of everyone he came in contact with.
Yeah, it was definitely more entertaining to watch without Busey — not only did he make me uncomfortable, but he was leeching screen time from everybody else. We don’t really know much about how the various people interact with one another, because the editing was so Busey-focused. I think I would have been happier if he just popped up once every episode to say something crazy and then moved on.
