Audience participation was SO FAKE
OK, I've looked online and I cannot believe I'm the only one who noticed this...
During the "audience participation" (AKA the "Throw Jen Under the Bus Parade"), the speakers were totally reading from teleprompters!
You could clearly see it when the cameras showed the wide-angle view of the room - there were about a half-dozen TV screens along the front of the stage and words scrolling down. All of the speakers were in the front two rows, and some of them, you could see kept glancing down at a weird angle - that's how I first noticed. One of the execs who interviewed the final 4 kept looking down, not at the stage, not at Regis.
I wasn't a big fan of either candidate, but Kelly was just a wasted lump on the last task and Jen definitely has been scrappy. The audience scene was just so wrong and unfair, and the fact that everyone was reading from teleprompters just makes it so much worse. I'm not sure if the participants from this season who were onstage had teleprompters, but the people in the audience totally did.
Tacky, Mr. Trump, very tacky.
