The Celebrity ApprenticeI've just started watching season 7 of the Apprentice, which turns out to be the Celebrity Apprentice, where successful, big-headed celebrities compete for the charity of their choice. What i want to highlight is one of the contestants, Gene Simmons, which is 'The Demon' from the hard rock band Kiss.
Gene Simmons, always in shades, even in the dark board room
At first, I thought that he was some really cool guy, back scene fella, but with big brains and clever decisions. Oh I was so so wrong. And his arrogance, phew...
Here are some snippets from the show.
After the girls' team were losing twice in a row, Gene was 'transfered' to the girls' team and was made the project manager of the task. This was his prep meeting in the van:
"Okay, I want to say one thing. Its a benevolent dictatorship. I've been told I'm the team leader. Do we all understand that?"Benevolent dictatorship, kind dictatorship, Dictatorship?! Why is the 'dictatorship' word even used in this game? Its a team game, is it not?After losing the task and disagreeing with the client's final decision, and disagreeing with Donald Trump, he was fired. This was part his "closing" speech in the limo:
"I trusted my gut, than the two executives I met. I'm more qualified to make those decisions simply because I'm in a people business. I stand by my convictions and decisions, every one of them. In their present form, the women don't have a popcorn fart chance of even shining the guys' shoes."
I don't know what to say except for... omg! too arrogant? too independent? thinks too highly of himself? omg!*too bad he left so early though. would have been fun hating him in the show. oh well, at least there's omarosa there still.
