I refuse to watch this show as long as Omarosa is on it. In what world is she a celebrity? What does she have on the Donald for him to put her back on? Is she threatening a lawsuit for that stupid piece of concrete? She was awful enough the first time and on any other show she's been on. Nope..not gonna watch.

I loved Hydra's ad. The puppy they used was adorable. Trace's voice over was perfect.
Gene was all about being Gene and keeping up his persona. However, I thought he did the right thing about two things 1)Pulling everyone back in off the street shot 2)Limiting him and Stephen to do the editing. You can have too many people trying to say what should be cut and what should stay and then you wind up with a mish-mash of stuff like the women did.
Tito and Piers will get their chance to be the boss. Personally I can't stand Piers except when he's giving Omarosa a hard time.

Gene has come up with the best line so far talking about O in last week's board room: She's like a cockroach, you can't kill her, she keeps coming back.

I am all for Hydra to keep winning until Omarosa is sent packing.

If this is going to be the Gene and Stephen show, I'm going to get really bored really quickly. I'm not understanding all the Gene Simmons love, as I find him arrogant. If he were a woman, he'd be the villain. I shutter to think what will happen if Gene is actually put on the women's team as the previews suggested.

For the second week in a row, the men have won because Gene took complete control of the situation. Sooner or later the other men are going to have to be trusted with more important tasks than just getting in front of cameras and microphones. I can't remember when a PM actually ordered the majority of the team to just leave like that, as if they had no business wanting to see the final ad before the client did.

I can think of a few reasons why Trump brought back Omarosa. First, while some of the female celebrities are also heads of their own businesses, others are clearly out of their element. Trump may have felt the need to bring in a female who has experience with the show and could show them the ropes. Second, Trump seems to genuinely like Omarosa. Perhaps he feels beholden to her since her antics may be the reason people kept tuning in during that first season. It certainly wasn't Trump's riveting camera presence. People may say they hate Omarosa, but they sure love to talk about her. Third, her presence guarantees friction and fireworks. Conflict must be important to Trump, since he put more than one fighter on the men's team. He didn't want to risk the female team becoming a lovefest. Fourth, perhaps he was just short one female celebrity.

I felt bad for Nadia, but never understood her being cast. I guess Trump assumed all competitive people will be good at business. By the way, speaking of arrogant men, how'd you all like Trump's comment that most people are losers? I know he was just trying to be patronizing with Nadia, but did he have to insult his viewers in the process? And why keep bringing up her Olympic performance from 30 years ago?

It was patronizing. The worst part was when Nadia didnt have the english skills to answer coherently. When asked point blank if she would have liked to be P.M. she said no if it wasnt about Athletics because that is 'all she knows'.

The min she did that... I was like OH you are sooooooo gone!

But in all honesty, why didn't they offer to help earlier?
The guys were trying to help right from the first moment but Stephen and Gene were ignoring everything anyone else said....to the point where the others were told that they 'werent involved' and to go home.

The guys came back the next morning to see what the commercial was like. Even then the guys were shunned and basically thrown out of the control room.

I feel this task result was suspicious. The guys did not even meet with the Executive. This 'lack of interest in what the company wants" has led directly to FAILS in previous seasons. Even if the final project is quite good, if it wasnt what was ASKED for, so what??

In this situation the Man from Pedigree was extremely clear that he wanted at least three different dog stories.

Hydra failed completely in giving the man what he specifically told the women he wanted in an ad.

However, the cheesy voiceovers and extremely ridiculous 'acting' by those actors RUINED the concept of the commercial. SOmething that poorly executed didnt deserve a win.

Guys won due to production IMHO.

I like that Trump's co-chair made it clear that he didnt feel the Commercial was what was expected and that many people dont recognize Lennox Lewis.

Trump was on Regis and Kelly today and he said Omarosa is meaner than ever, but he likes her because she is good t.v. Barf!! As long as she is on it, I won't watch it. Can't stomach that woman!

I don't understand why the women will not use their celebrity status in this competition. Did anyone get why they hired talent instead of using themselves for this commercial? And, I don't get why those men are letting Baldwin and Simmons run everything. I hate Simmons arrogance and <100> personality. Trace Adkins has one of the greatest voices and, from what I've seen of him, he is a true gentleman and you won't be seeing him sniping and bad mouthing. Finally, if we end up with all the Baldwin boys on this, I'm done. One is enough. Please, don't bring in the rest.

could it be that there arent really any BIG celebrities on the female side?

I mean really... how many of those women are recognized on the street?

Marilu from TAXI, a show from when I was a CHILD, is the only woman who is well known.

Compare that to the men's team....Sopranos- a current hit, Gene - a current hit, Tito -Ultimate fighting is a current hit (even if he isnt still on it) Piers - is currently ON tv doing a hit show. Lennox, Trace and Stephen have 'familiar' faces but i'm not sure if an average person who watches tv would pick up who they are.

anyways, thats how I see it. The women are doomed to fail IMHO

I would know Trace Adkins anywhere. I recognize Baldwin, Marilu Henner and Piers Morgan. I had no clue who the others were.

face recognition: only faces I would have know prior to this show are Omarosa and Stephen B for sure. Probably Marilu. None of the rest. And at least half of the rest I never heard of before.

Tiffany Fallon and Jennie Finch. Have no idea who either of these women are. I gather the one (Tiffany) is an ex-playboy model but the other? I would recognize the name Lennox Lewis but until this show had no clue what he looked liked. Don't listen to country music, have never heard of or seen Trace Adkins before. Tito Ortiz? No idea who he is either? Looks like another athlete, football player?

I recognize Nely but didn't know her name, same with Piers and vincent. I know Nadia but wouldn't have recognized her.

I would know Carol Alt and Marilu anywhere. Same with Baldwin and Simmons. These four are the biggest *celebrities* on the show as far as I'm concerned. I guess it's different for everyone depending on where your entertainment interests lay. LOL

I am impressed with the men's (and especially Gene and Stephen's) ability to win tasks and easily defeat the women's team. I am not impressed with their attitude.

As far as celebrity recognition goes, before seeing the show I knew Carol, Marilu, Nadia, Omarosa, Gene, Lennox, Piers, Stephen, Tito, and Vincent. So that's 10 out of 14.

I'm thoroughly enjoying this season by the way. I love the way they are focusing on the tasks and the boardroom and that they aren't wasting time on some silly tent stuff or rewards.

On the Ivanka/Gene flap, i noticed when she came in and shook his hand and Gene asked her if she was there to be there star actress that Ivanka pulled her hand back as if she was uncomfortable with Gene still holding her hand. i believe this is what led to Gene's attitude towards her. we will find out more saturday in the extended version.

to the ones who dont know Jennie Finch, she was a pitcher for the Universiy of Arizona and went undefeated her junior year leading the wildcats to a national title. she also helped pitch the USA to a gold medal in the olympics.

you would think that since Gene does the cosmetic surgery stuff that he would do something with that hair.

which begs the question....who has better hair, trump or gene?

Speaking of cosmetic surgery, there seemed to be a lot of it on the women's side....

Over at TWoP someone asked "Is Jennie Finch 8 feet tall?" She is a tall gal.

I'm voting Gene has better hair than Donald but I like dark hair more than I do blonde hair.

Yeah, I noticed that Ivana pulled her hand back pretty fast too. I loved that she stood her ground, but I also understand Gene saying what he said since I have watched his show. I was a little embarrassed for him but he handled it well. He even took his glasses off to apologize.

Well, I'm an even split because I would've only recognized three of the women and three of the men as celebrities. For the women: Marilu, Omarosa, and Carol Alt. For the men: Stephen, Gene, and Vincent. Marilu has done a lot since her Taxi days, and is usually promoting a health book or hosting a cable show whenever I see her. If Gene Simmons were to get a decent hairstyle (it's worse than Trump's) I'd probably never recognize him, but as he's still sporting that distinctive 'do he's still recognizable. I never watched the Sopranos, but know Pastore from Celebrity Fit Club. Omarosa has managed to make herself quite well known, whereas that British guy is a mystery to me. What is he allegedly famous for? I had heard the name Lennox Lewis, but never would've known his face if I'd seen him in a commercial without a caption as the man suggested. I remember Nadia but never would've recognized her after all these years. Perhaps she would've been better for DWTS.

The rest of them are pretty much new faces for me. In my opinion only a few athletes really achieve true celebrity status, even if they're champions. And Playboy playmates? Yeah, right.

That Trace Adkins really did have a powerful speaking voice. Wow. Great choice for the voiceover. With anyone else, that ad probably wouldn't have come across as well as it did.
