The Apprentice: Celebrity Edition is infectious. I don't know what it is. I couldn't stop making fun of it before the season started but, man, it's more enjoyable than any recent season of The Apprentice I can remember. There's something bizarrely intoxicating about watching quasi-celebrities band together and give silly tasks their full and unwavering effort. It doesn't hurt that GENE SIMMONS, god among men, is very much involved. Gene is as dominant a presence as you'll ever see on reality television. Just the man. Tonight saw Hydra and Empresario create Mobile Printing Stations for Kodak, in order to highlight the company's new line of printers. Also, Alec Baldwin made an appearance, seemingly only to make fun of brother Stephen.
Since the ladies at Empresario have lost two tasks in a row, Trump decides to even the sides out. He asks the men at Hydra if any of them would like to volunteer to lead the women in the next task. Guess who jumps at the chance? Yep, Gene Simmons. The task for the week is to create a Mobile Printing Station for Kodak to promote their new printer, the main selling point being that the ink for this printer is 50% less than the competitor. They get a trailer and a graphic designer to help with the slogan/banner making. Tito Ortiz is the Project Manager for Hydra this week, Gene takes the helm for Empresario.
