With help from a graphic artist, the celebrities try to create and operate a mobile printing station. Among the hardships: spilled coffee and a celebrity with a dictatorial bent. Alec Baldwin makes an appearance. Who do you think will get fired tonight?
Gene Simmons is gone? Fired? What are they thinking? That's why I watched the show! On to another show...bye bye apprentice...

I agree...no point in watching this show anymore. I think Gene wanted to be fired...he was probably losing too much money spending time doing the show and this was his way out. The rest of the cast is pretty lame.

WOW, what were they thinking? Firing Gene Simmons? Gene Simmons was the only reason 99% of us watched the show! This guy is a freakin genius and tells it like it is! As smart as these people are you know they have to realize they just lost their audience because only 1% left want to watch Omarosa!

Gene definately wanted off. He was the only reason I was watching but I may tune in to see how Hyda fairs. I agree with Jack W- Gene is only happy when HE is making money. Not too smart, Trump.

I think the executive marketing director of Kodak should be fired by not chosing Gene's add. PerhapsKodak is in the shape it is in. Also Gene did chose the weakest links to goto the boardroom with him. Donald should have realized it and fired one of them. I won't watch the show anymore.

I agree that Kodak was wrong in not choosing Simmons add. Were these people top executives? If so, scarey for Kodak. Trump could have fired the blond girl, she will do nothing for the team. I'm not interested. Bring Gene back!

Sorry Don-Don, but the show is going to get old fast if you don't fire based on a combination of the people's misstakes AND your own gut. Show some khutzpah and use your smarts too. Gene gave you a chance and you blew it. THIS WAS A TEST AND YOU FAILED.

I would like to see Gene Simmons back. He was good. I believe Kodak chose the wrong add. What were these Kodak people's positions at the company.

Firing Gene ruined the show. The Donaldcertainly could have fired one of the women. One is weak and the other doesn't get alon with the others.

What is wrong with Donald. Gene was the best and so was his idea for the ad. Kodak mad a big mistake.

Unreal how stupid is Gene (typical rich ego maniac) when the D gave him all the reasons to bring back Nelly, who has used up 2 lives already......show is getting old, arent these teh same trailers and event that was from anotehr season.......Gene is ??????? just look what he did in the IRL mr marketing guru?? he did sweet f k -all, he is like a diansour, he should do a kiss ole geeezer tour!! and get rid of those cheesy sunglasses and talk about bad hair

I agree with everyone that Gene made the show. The truth of the matter was Trump didn't want to get rid of Gene, no contestant has ever gotten a free pass like that. As much as I like Gene and will miss him, the only person I blame for Gene getting fired was Gene himself.
For a guy who is as strategic as this, to make such dumb decisions seems like Kamikaze.
Is this the case of the brilliant eccentric star showing genus in some area's no common sense in others or him falling on his own sword. You decide.

your right Bruce..........plus the guy is a legend in his own mind and was like a race horse with blinders on!! Gene is a typical its all about me kinda guy or like a guy on deserted island with one wish he'd ask for a mirror i bet?? or a comb??
Best was how fat/wides assed omorossa looked on by buddys shitty noHD Tv LOL
Does the D have to be so obvious on how big a hard-on he has for Carol???

I say we all boycott the show until they bring Gene BACK!! LOL! NBC is dealing with too many boycotts already because of the writers' strike. But we should boycott the show until Gene COMES BACK!!! He was the reason i watched the show!

Gene wanted to be gone, and he went out just the way he had planned. His way or the highway, and I think he was smug and happy about how it went down.
He picked the two people who had the LEAST reason to be fired, purposely giving Trump no real choice.
I'm surprised Gene didn't smile, point his finger at Trump, say "You're fired," and walk out.

The Kodak people were idiots. Gene's "Its a Kodak World" position is infinitely better than "Kodak: the cheap ink company". Gene's vision was for Kodak to be a premium brand. Competing on price (cheap ink) is a race to the bottom.

Doesn't it seem strange that Gene Simmons was ASKED to work with the womens team, right after poor little rich girl Ivanka decided she didn't like him, and ended up getting fired? It was way too obvious that Donald Trump decided to fire him before the competition ever started just because his little girl was mad. That really shows how much integrity Trump really has. NONE. I guess when you are rich you can forget about fairness and decency. Why are the Trump kids even on the show? What have they accomplished in thier lives that qualifies them to sit in judgement over someone who has actually worked and made something of themselves? They are just the typical Paris Hilton type of waste of oxygen rich kids.

How did omarosa get on the show in the first place? She scream racism after getting the boot last time? It is painfully obvious that she is nothing but a power hungry backstabbing idiot who has no business on a show with REAL stars. Trump is a complete moron if he can't see that. And before it starts, I have known many people who were extremely business smart, and who were also morons in everything else. Donald trump is one of them.
