Trace has written a book "A Personal Stand: Observations and Opinions from a Freethinking Roughneck" from amazon: Book Description Country music superstar Trace Adkins isn’t exactly known for holding back what’s on his mind. And if the millions of albums he’s sold are any indication, when Trace talks, people listen. Now, in A Personal Stand, Trace Adkins delivers his maverick manifesto on politics, personal responsibility, fame, parenting, being true to yourself, hard work, and the way things oughta be. In his inimitable pull-no-punches style, Trace gives us the state of the union as he sees it, from the lessons of his boyhood in small-town Louisiana to what he’s learned headlining concerts around the world. Trace has worked oil rigs in the Gulf of Mexico, been shot in the heart, been inducted into the Grand Ole Opry, and braved perhaps the greatest challenge of all: being the father of five daughters. And shaped by these experiences, he’s sounding off. • I’m incredibly frustrated with the state of American politics. If there were a viable third party, I’d seriously consider joining it. • If anybody wonders who the good guys are and who the bad guys are in this world, just look at the way we teach our children as opposed to the way the fundamentalist Muslims teach their children. • Organized labor now exists for the sake of organized labor, and not for the workers it once protected. • I believe the easiest way to solve the illegal immigration enforcement problem is to go after the employers who hire illegal aliens. • As a society, we’re unwilling to sacrifice our luxuries and our conveniences in order to conserve. We won’t change until we’re forced to. • The war on terror is like herpes. People can live with it, but it’ll flare up from time to time. Brash, ballsy, persuasive, and controversial, A Personal Stand isn’t just the story of Trace Adkins’s life; it’s the story of what life can teach all of us. About the Author Trace Adkins was born Tracy Darrell Adkins in Springhill, Louisiana. He learned to play guitar at an early age and eventually played with the New Commitments. In the early 1990s he performed solo in honky-tonks, and after gaining some fame he moved to Nashville and signed with Capitol Records. He has released seven albums. His most recent, Dangerous Man, debuted at number 1 on the Billboard country chart. A member of the Grand Ole Opry, Trace Adkins has appeared on numerous television shows, including The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Late Night with Conan O’Brien, Hannity & Colmes, and Politically Incorrect with Bill Maher. He lives in Nashville with his wife and five daughters.

For those wanting tonight's scoop: Nely upset and crying upon returning from the board room, saying it was brutal. Omarosa talking about once they beat the guys it will be a domino effect and all will come falling down for the men Teams meet outside with Trump and Ivanka, Jim Kramer from Mad Money. Gene as project man. won 20k for pediatric AIDS Gene has the option to stay with men or go with woman, Trump says it hasn't been a competition and he recommends that Gene go with the girls. He says yes, he says a role he was born for. The Task: Kodak company execs, company has reinvented itself, you must create a kodak mobile printing experience, they gave them equip, they must put it into action on sidewalks on the streets of NYC. Gene says to the team of girls that he is a benevolent team leader and he wants to make sure that all understand that. He doesn't want to go to the corp execs but will let some go. Gene comes up with the tagline "It's a Kodak world...throwing out continuation lines to finish it" Very proud of himself, says it is a checkmate in one move, girls quiet, rolling eyes. Tito chosen for PM on guys, they all go meet with the execs. Kodak has a new ink that is really affordable and it is really the catch they say. Nely and Carol go meet the execs. Nely spoke over most of the meeting and Carol could not stop her, Carol thought that they lost the execs. Nely came out of the meeting that the PRINTER not the ink is the key. Gene says the execs are wrong and doesn't understand their needs. He says he is arrogant and he knows he is good, a powerful and attractive man.

There you are! Nel to GS: What sign are you? GS: Dollar sign, baby! Dollar Sign! LOL! Even if the girls lose again, DT can't be firing GS. I'm not totally comfortable about the way it's going. But GS and Big 0 are here to stay for a while! GS never thinks it's important to meet the clients. That used to big great big down fall for teams. This time around that seems to be the way to win?? GS send the two that were just in the board room to see Kodak people. Hhhhmmm... Omarosa is lamenting that GS doesn;t even know the products..... True. But he does have a great logen.

Did any body else caught Omarosa's revelation last week? She's staying off the radar now. She's going to stay back, make fun of everything she sees to the camera and wait till other team mates kill each other off.

GS told Donald he's still right even if Kodak people is there. Omarosa dumped on him about not going to see the client. Ivanka giving it to GS.... Men predicting GS is out. Now DT told Nely execs thought she talked too much....(True) but GS chimed in about how "right on" , "Spot on" he is again... Carol was asked, and she said either herself or Nely should go GS said that's wrong. Jennie & Omarosa would fire GS, MeryLu thought so as well! But Nely would fire Jennie! DT shocked!

Gene bringing back Omarosa into the BR, Trump not happy with it and trying to talk him out of it. He wants him to bring back Nely. Trump demands a second name, and it is a commercial! UGh
