I just finished watching episode 2 of "I Want to Work for Diddy" and they eliminated Rob, in favor of Kim a.k.a. "Poprah". I'm not sure if they were going for TV drama, and that is the reason they kept Kim, but I can't help but feel that that was the absolute wrong choice.
Kim has been the definition of manipulative. After she escaped elimination in the first episode, she tearfully vowed to change her ways. One problem: she didn't. She skipped the second challenge thanks to asthma. I'm not saying she faked it - maybe she did or maybe she didn't - but, it's definitely a hit against her. And then, in front of the judges once again, she berated her team. But, for some reason, they kept her over Rob.
The challenge this week featured the teams being dropped at an Army base where they were charged with navigating a nearby forest in search of check points. Rob was in the Army for nearly 5 years, so his team was favored. But, they struggled and got lost. Rob took charge and made mistakes and, as such, he was a big part of the loss.
But, unlike Kim, he didn't blame other people, he blamed himself. And that should have counted for something. From watching the show, Rob was at the top of my list of candidates to win. Kim was at the bottom. At the end of the show, she compared herself to - get this - Jesus and Martin Luther King, Jr. - claiming that what had been done to her was what had been done to them and other "great leaders." No way.
The bottom line is that, with Kim, you have someone who won't win this competition. They may keep her around as a ratings coup. But, that's it. She can't win in the end.
