I am a huge fan of Gene on his family show, but he was too big on playing the persona on this show,I found it annoying, I am glad to see him fired.

I can't get over how entertaining the show is this season. I would never have believed it before seeing it.

Wow. Trump didn't want to fire him but Gene didn't make it easy.

It's Trump's show. He could have fired Nely anyway.

WT, I know!
Before Donald asked Gene which two he'd want to bring back, I thought he was going to just fire Nely and be done.

It's hard to tell whether Gene really wanted to be fired, or just wanted to challenge Trump and thought he could convince him to fire Omarosa. It's interesting that Trump was fine with firing Nadia for a loss that wasn't even close to being her fault, but wouldn't hear of firing Omarosa this week. Gene was trying to tell him he can't trust Omarosa (probably because she turns on people so quickly in the boardroom), but Trump didn't even want to hear it. It's also interesting that the previews showed Omarosa will still be there in two weeks.

Well, it was all pretty fair in the end. Gene was ultimately responsible for their loss (with an assist from Nely). He had already won a check for his charity, and I didn't think it was fair that Trump took away the ladies' chance of winning any money in this round.

However, I do think their work was much better than the other team's, and those Kodak executives should have their heads examined. The Hydra presentation was so cheap-looking, and not because of their accident. If they hadn't decided to take pictures of the fighters for the graphics, they wouldn't have had to settle for those banners rather than the professional-looking decals the ladies' team used. It also bugged me that Baldwin was acting as PM even though Tito was supposed to be leading them.

Gene doesn't belong in team sports.

I didn't want him to go but in actuality he fired himself. He got his charity money already so he's heading back home.

I can't believe I'm watching, and really enjoying, this show! I've never watched Apprentice before, so I didn't expect to like this when I first saw it. My so far:

GS is too daggone in love with himself for me. I was a huuuuuge KISS fan in my teens - their heyday - and he always creeped me out (I liked Peter.) Anyway, back to the show. I think Nely & Carol should've been included in the final BR because the PM sent them to assess the needs of the client, and they totally missed it. Why didn't Carol tell Gene that the client stressed the ink, not the printer?
As far as the guys, wasn't Tito the PM? It sure seemed like Stephen was, again, running the show.
I know Lennox can speak - I've watched his bouts and the after-fight interviews - and is fairly articulate, but I haven't heard him say a whole lot yet. Could be his strategy is to stay under the radar?
Trace, I love your music, but boy, get a hair cut. Yeah, you have 5 girls, but you aren't one of them...lol
Speaking of hair, GS and Shannon got plastic surgery last season of Family Jewels...can't they afford to do something about Gene's hair? Ugggghhhhh!
Piers <24> is working my last nerve. Instead of whining about the laptop, grab another one and try to replicate what you had from memory. They'd already come up with the tagline, artwork, colors, etc., so sit down and whip it out. Sure it'd take some time, but so did Piers pissin&moanin. Loved it when Trace said you gotta step back, have a smoke, and move on.
I'm not much of a Baldwin fan, but I liked Alec tonight and the play with his brother. Reminded me of me and my brother.
I think I'm done for now, but reserve the right to return with further "insight". Unless I'm fired...lol

Carol <24> should have spoken up when Nelly was telling the rest of the team that it was all about the printer. She should have pointed out that it was all about the ink. Gene obviously had better things to do and decided to get himself fired by pulling that dumb stunt in the boardroom. The show has lost its comic relief.

Hahaha. DT wanted to fire Nely sooo bad, but GS made it impossible. LOL.

What is wrong with these women? Who the h*ll says they deserve blame or they understand why they were brought into the board room?

I love the guys. I really do. Even without Gene. I hope the men win...it's bad to root against girls, but ya know...I don't like/know a lot of the girls. So, yeah. I really like the men. GO MEN!!!

Gene Simmons irritated the hell out of me so I can't believe I'm going to say this . . . . I miss him already!

When are the women going to wake up and start acting like they they're capable of doing something beyond being secretaries? Seriously, as a female, I can't find one to support this season.

DT wasnt going to fire GS until Ivanka, red faced, made some kind of comment that Gene was challenging DT, trying to make him look bad (or something like that)

Nope, GS did not go into the Boardroom thinking he was the one who would go. He was PO'd! his bodylanguage was clear.

The reason he didnt take 'real' screwups to the BR was clearly stated in the Car. GS doesnt MAKE mistakes.

Gene could not have taken Carol and Nelly to the BR as he would have had to admit he screwed up and he made a big mistake sending just the two women.

Instead of losing his only chance at dignity, Gene tried to schmooze DT. And we all know how that can blow up in your face...DT is unpredictable.

I was surprised. thought GS had it in the bag since he was a buddy of DT.

ANYWAYS, on to the other parts of the show. LOL at the comment that S.Baldwin had 35 tins of Red Bull. What a stupid idea to get the guys to lay on the table...why not the floor??

or a Mat on the floor?

Mind you, Big guys jumping around on a table and no one thought to move Liquid away from computers??

surely that woman should have been thinking more clearly as she was the one responsible for the Laptop.

anyways, I'm glad the guys won regardless of their shoddy external trailer setup.

I loved tonight's show, although Gene, whom I adore on his own show, annoyed the crap out of me in this ep! I was shocked that they lost, I thought their overall presentation was much better than the men's team. But I guess the client knew what they wanted, and appreciated that the men understood it.

Goodness, Gene was such a one-trick-pony with that logo. Fine you have a good logo... now build upon it, it's not the be all and the end all. Geez.

He should have been fired IMMEDIATELY by Trump the moment he was disrespectful about the clients! Instead Trump ignored it and kept trying to get Gene to sacrifice Nelly to suit his own agenda and Gene wouldn't give him the satisfaction.

(I thought it was hilarious that O griped that she's tired of being scapegoated all the time and I'm thinking well if you were nice to people they might want to keep you around. duh) Loved how Gene had O who he wanted fired, walking into the boardroom on his arm. Never thought she'd do it!

LOVE how Gene left on his OWN terms. THAT was awesome! That's the beauty of that guy. I think the ONLY way he would have been willing to stay was if Trump had fired Big Mouth O. Fascinating that Trump figured O is more important to his show than his buddy Gene!!!

It was like the gunfight at the OK corrall each one had an agenda... Trump wanted Nelly gone, and Gene wanted O gone, neither backing down. I really do believe that Gene was ready to leave. He'd gotten the money for his charity, and has enough exposure, and had nothing to lose by leaving at that point. He was there to stir things up, and that he did. Great show. Even though he was patronizing to the women and a one-trick-pony in this ep, I will miss him on the show. I was sure he'd win it all.

BTW, I don't know that Tracey guy from a bag of rocks, but he is my absolute fave on the Men's team. I could listen to him speak all day long... luv his voice, his unassuming charm, and his common sense. And his sexy long hair.

good interpretation! I thought DT was the one who looked kinda shakey. GS was rock solid until he was actually leaving.

Wonder if there was more Ivanka GS bantering that ended up on the cutting room floor? I can see Ivanka saying a little more to her dad about Gene's 'attitude'.

I missed the show, but from reading your comments, etc., I have to sort of agree with Gene regarding the Kodak execs! Now mind you, I live in what was once "KODAK town, city... you name it!" It's now a shell of what it once was and our area in which a major percentage of people were employed "for life." My dad, DH's dad, my brother, myself, in-laws, etc., were all once employed by the big YELLOW BOX. It's sad really. Our economy is in the toilet. They've imploded so many buildings, the area looks nothing like it once did. The last building they blew up was maybe a mile from me and I swear it felt like an earthquake. So do I trust the execs and CEOs of Kodak anymore? Heck no!!! So Gene wasn't that far off in thinking they didn't know what they were talking about. :-)

Ya sort of can't rationalize about what GS does. He is just pure entertainment. I will definitely miss him.

I kind of thought that Gene was unhappy with being moved to the women's team. He was forced into it, and a comment he made at the time made me think he was done with the game at that point.

So I kind of think he was looking for the door, just playing the role until the end.
