Gene Simmons Out, Trace Adkins Safe on Celebrity Apprentice
They say that pride is always greatest before the fall and that was the story in this weeks episode. Gene came, Gene saw, Gene couldn’t admit he was wrong and then ended up getting fired only three weeks in.
I am a little bummed about it but Gene made his own bed. He didn’t meet the Kodak executives and ended up missing the obvious selling point with the Kodak printer; the fact that it uses only half the ink of other printers (I sound like a commercial).
He also could’ve saved himself by bringing the two women – that met with the executives and missed the message – back into the boardroom, but didn’t. Trump was all but begging him to bring the them in but he still refused. The man is bullheaded.
Meanwhile, with Gene gone, I will turn my attention to the other music mogul on the show; Trace Adkins.
So far, other than laying down a great voice over for the Pedigree commercial in episode two, Trace hasn’t done or said much.
This week he did a couple fairly trivial things; Helped prep the trailer, calmed the other guys down when they were stressing out after 8 hours of imaging work was erased after coffee spilled on the laptop and make a fairly cheesy joke when greeting Jim Cramer at the job site (I’ll spare you the details on the joke).
Trace should get a little more air time as the field thins out. Plus, the way the women are looking he should be safe for awhile.

I have never watched the show. I did think when they went the celeb route that Gene vs. Trump, the battle of monster egos would be pretty cool. Of course the ego that owns the show will win.
Thanks Lee,
It was cool while it lasted but your are not missing much anymore.
