Celebrity Apprentice: Episode 3 in Which Gene Simmon's Gets Fired
12 competitors remained on Fox's "Celebrity Apprentice," at the beginning of episode 3. This season's competition is a competition among celebrities to raise money for their favorite charity.
Ironically, last week Gene Simmon's said he would fire anybody, including Donald Trump. He lost his chance, because in a faulty move the self-proclaimed business genius took Omarosa and gold medalist Jennie Finch to the boardroom, following the third loss by Empesario. Unable to adequately justify to Trump why either should be fired, Gene heard the infamous words, "You're fired."
In this week's episode, Jim Kramer of "Mad Money" joined Evanka, Donald Trump's daughter, as the "eyes and ears" to monitor the Celebrity Apprentice teams.
Gene Simmons was asked by Donald Trump to become the group manager for Empresario, following two consecutive losses by the women. With only enough hesitation to create anticipation, Simmons agreed and moved to the women's team. The women seemed delighted. In a solo shot, however, Simmons bragged that today he had the role every man desired; he was the "King of all Women."
The task for Hydra and Empresario was to create a Kodak mobile printing experience to promote Kodak's EasyShare all-in-one printer. Teams were given an airstream bus, Kodak cameras, and Kodak EasyShare all-in-one printers to sell.
Gene Simmons immediately alienated his team, Empresario, declaring himself a "benevolent dictator." He came up with a brilliant slogan, "It's a Kodak World, live it." The only problem with Gene Simmon's branding idea was that he failed to consult Kodak executives, sending a couple of the women to meet with them. He had the campaign planned before the women even returned from the meeting. His big mistake at this point, and throughout the show was a failure to listen.

I watched Celebrity Apprentice just to see Gene Simmons get fired, and when I took a bathroom break, I actually managed to actually miss it, damn it. By the way, since the name KISS is always printed in uppercase letters as an acronym, what does K-I-S-S actually stand for?
He SOOOOOOO deserved to get fired. Talk about arrogance. He could give Trump a run for his money on that front. Just kidding!
Never watched Celebrity Apprentice (or the other one) so don't know much about this show. Great recap and information though. Thanks for sharing.
Haven't watched the celebrity versions of the show-article makes it sound interesting!
I've never watched this, but you make it sound interesting.
I haven't seen this programme as I usually avoid reality TV. Well written though!

By-the-way, I'm a huge Simmons fan and really hated to see him go :( And was it just me, or did Stephen Baldwin look a little worse for wear in this one? Wonder if he's really clean or not.
Personally, I think he wanted to be fired. Notice the comment he made to Omarosa when he told her she was hardly the victim before they went back in the boardroom. He also said in an interview that it was really hard doing the show because he couldn't leave to be with his family. Trace Adkins said that when you heard him talk about his kids he was like a whole other person. He really missed his kids a lot. I don't think he was stupid enough to not do what Donald Trump wanted without having a reason to do so.
