Star talks about open heart surgery and asks about their leanest cut of meat. Really, that was just a way she could remind everybody that she almost died. It hasn’t come up in a while, and she clearly wants to keep it fresh in our minds. Since ASAP doesn’t have anybody especially sociopathic on their team, the meeting goes smoothly and we don’t see much of it.
Backbone decides on their recipes – filet mignon with a lobster tail, a chateaubriand, and a grilled bone-in ribeye. I’m not going to lie – I’m getting kind of a meat boner right now. Busey explains to John that he wants him to talk about a loving family during the presentation and mention “how you want to bring your dad a kite”. There is a long pause, and then John Rich, who I do not particularly like, just kills me when he finally says “I’ll put down ‘kite’”, and then writes it in his notepad. (You have to admit, he handled this situation perfectly.–Myndi) He interviews that he’s hoping Busey forgets about the kite, but then foolishly asks Busey to explain his idea again, and the kite is a Father’s Day present and also there’s a picture of an Omaha Steak on it. Of course there is. And if I ever form a punk band, our first album will be called “Meat Kite”.
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.
