Yes and no. You're right -- it's not really a job interview. If it were, Michelle would be perfectly justified in saying "Mr. Trump, the purpose of a job interview is for you to see if I would be right for your organization
and for me to see if your organization would be right for me. I have come to the conclusion, after living through the insanity so far, that this organization is not right for me, so thank you for your time." There would be no talk of "quitting" or getting fired, because you don't quit or get fired from an interview.
But to say it wasn't what she signed up for? Sure it was -- you signed up for a reality TV show driven by ratings and engineered by one of the "hugest" egos around. One has to expect "twists" in a reality show. You want to be on a reality show, you deal with it.
Frankly, Michelle, who had done a terrible job as PM, lost me when she complained about sleeping in the "freezing" weather. She was in LA in the summer or fall, for pete's sake. She also blew it, as far as I was concerned, by completely failing to realize that she might very well be setting one of her teammates up to be fired. If she really wanted out, she should have waited.
As for the shark being jumped, it definitely has been. But I'm sure that's Martha Stewart's fault or Rosie O'Donnell's fault.
