I felt that GS decided if he didn't win, he didn't want to be there anymore. Like a spoiled child (through-out the challenge, "his way or the highway"). He was so fixated on his own branding that he had wax in his ears and wouldn't have listened to any ideas from any of the women. We never did hear about sales (who sold more) but getting Alec Baldwin to pay $1000 per printer (how many did he buy?) the guys probably earned more money - is there anything on the website that clues us in how they did in sales? What did Tito do as PM? Assign Stephen to run things? Tito isn't a leader. Stephen has this in the bag. He's very driven to do well in this game.

Years ago Trace Adkins won my heart with the song - Every light in the house is on - a song about a man whose woman has left yet he tells her that he'll keep the lights on so she can find her way home. They said that when they filed the video the old farmhouse that they used was outside Austin and planes coming in to land in Austin thought it was part of the airport. As far as I'm concerned he can keep thatlong hair. He's one extremely sexy guy. I also love his "Honky Tonk, Badonky Donk" song - makes me laugh every time.

I think Gene took those two in the boardroom with him because he did not want to throw any of the women under the bus. He knew he would be fired instead of those two. He was trying to be a gentleman. The biggest clue? When he asked Omarosa to take his arm and escorted her into the boardroom. Of course this is just MY humbe opinion! :o)

Donald did say the men sold more, when he announced the winners of the challenge. It was something like 'the Kodak executives liked their presentation more and they sold more, so Hydra wins". That was the only comment made about sales.

I'm enjoying the season too and very sorry to see Gene go. I guess I'll still watch though since nothing else is on then lol. Ok and I do like Stephen and Lennox. And ita Coach.

I just love Trace's deep sexy voice, and I am a sucker for a tall guy. I have never like long hair on a guy, but I think it works for him, but I think he should go the Blake Shelton route. Baldwin can go away, he's a bit too obnoxious for me.

Obviously, Gene already got his charity check and did want to leave the show. I was never a KISS fan nor care about the private lives of alleged celebrities selling their family to TV to gain a quick buck. Sorry, Gene, your ideas aren't 100% great when it comes to advertising and being the 'benevolent dictator'... By same token, Nely should go, as DT hopes. She talks too much and notice she blames the women who are least involved in her mistakes?

DT obviously thinks Omarosa will bring in viewers, but I for one, will not be watching the rest of the season. This is really smelling like an Omarosa win! Didn't like her the 1st time and she has not changed my opinion. Would have been great TV to see Gene and Omarosa as final 2! JMO!

I was really enjoying this season of The Apprentice. I guess it remains to be seen if it was because of GS, but it has lost some of its appeal for me. Ilovethecoach, you could very well be right about his reason to bring back Omorosa and the blond woman back to the boardroom with him. And maybe it would have been more fair if the women had been allowed to choose who they wanted brought over from the other team.

Don't get me wrong, I like long hair on men. (In my younger days, almost all the guys I dated had longer hair than me.) But when you have little to none on top, and you've got a ponytail down to the small of your back, that turns me off. Just my personal preferences, which is what makes the world so great...we can all find something we like...lol

It was weird seeing Alec Baldwin on the Show last night then I changed the channel and there he was in Rehab on the Celebrity Rehab show. Odd though he apparently is not rehabbing from anything just checked himself in? Or I missed something. Personally I think Gene was bored of the whole thing and wanted off. There is no way that someone who is that strategical could possibly be such a bone-head. Or else he really really really has a God-complex thing happening.

Tero...Alec is not the one in rehab. That's a different Baldwin brother. Daniel, I think.

How does GS have more qualifications than the other people? Why does he think he is SOOO much better than anyone else? He has no more qualifications than any of the other people on the show, in fact, I'd say he is less in touch with today's market. <24>

Escapee...GS has a very good grasp on marketing and has made a fortune (a huge fortune) from it. He IS a mogul and, frankly, IS much better at that than anyone else on the show.

Terolyn, that's Daniel in rehab. ETA: Oops, I forgot to refresh before posting. LOL I was telling hubby last night that 3 Baldwin brothers are on TV shows right now. Alec, Stephen, and Daniel.

Personally for me when I think about last nights' show the biggest thing that stands out to me is GS saying "it's a Kodak world, welcome!" So I too think that Kodak got it wrong. But to be honest I never did see the girls sell any of the printers. It was about sales too, right? Did I miss that?

Marketing what? I've never heard of anything he's done. I only know him from KISS and Family Jewels, both of which I thought were cheesy and overdone.

Gene discovered VanHalen?!? Wow...I did not know that. I'd say that having your face on a postage stamp qualifies you as being quite successful. ETA: Thanks for that link, Cokegirl.

YW Bee. I didn't know about Van Halen either. I was never much of a Kiss fan but Van Halen was one of my favorites.
