So. What did you think? Gene obviously no longer wanted to be there once he lost. He's got a pretty good thing going on his own and doesn't really need to prove himself on a reality show that ultimately means nothing to him, or anyone, really. He already won last week, he got some money for his charity, and he bowed out with as much grace as he could muster. What a douchebag. An entertaining douchebag, though. This guy makes great reality television. Though I am starting to miss the high-strung MBAs with decades of business school training, the condescending yet desperate corporate drones would would literally kiss The Donald's ass in exchange for a kind word or a caviar brunch. Where are you now, Troys and Brents of the world?? We need you now, more than ever!

Although Gene is an Ass Hat, there is no question that he is a marketing genius. Maybe he was right about the Kodak drones being wrong. I certainly thought based on the footage that we were shown that his teams trailer was far superior to the guys. It was quite obvious to me that at the end he wanted to go home. Oh well he did give plenty of fodder for the recap. He will be missed.

Even though Gene seems like a caricature of himself sometimes, I like him. The charities just lost out on a big money-maker.

Gene Simmons turned out to be a funny guy. Too bad he sabotaged the show and left.
I think he was right about the slogan. It is brillaint.

This is a greap recap! Lots of super funny things; from the idea of Baldwin not taking his Ritalin to the caption below Trump's secretary's photo. And your take on Gene is so right on.
Killer recap! Loved it!!

Awesome recap! I especially loved the "how not to download Java" screencap, lol.
I think the show will get even more boring now without Gene. I guess all we have to look forward to are Piers' generic insults. Oh well.

"Ahhhmarosa is the only one who seems to have a problem with it, but she's probably just sad because her hat is broken."
LOL
Gene's ego couldn't take it. If he didn't win he wanted to go home. His trailer was way better, and he did miss the whole point. Yahhtzee!

I agree, hilarious recap and captions!
I watched the past six seasons obsessively, but I haven't watched this season yet. I think I'll stick with your recaps only ... the show and its participants seem really full of themselves, and I don't know if I can watch an hour of that.

And the Golden Globe for funniest caption goes to... "How not to download Java"!
Your recaps really do manage to turn recycle worthless garbage into something precious!

As much as I couldn't stand Gene, I'll miss him just because he's so...random...I laughed so hard when he suddenly interrupted a conversation that had nothing to do with him just to say the slogan again

A few things:
First, this was your best work yet. I lollerd a lot, and the people at work now think i am a dufus...well, to be fair, they already thought that, but anyway...
Ivanka: Loves me some her. I was looking at her and when she first came out in that tan suit all I could think was her breats are HUGE HUGE HUGE! Very hippy, loves them curves. Then when they showed the legs getting out of the limo, I was like, who has those little bird legs...I thought carolyn was back for a second, but no, it is my beloved Ivanka! Woot! Skinny little legs, big boobies...great curves, what a dame! :)
That "secretary" (sp?)...wtf...worst...actor....since johnny fairplay...
And lastly, my favorite line from the episode was left off. When the execs were there, a woman walked towards Gene. He twirled her around and said "come this way, just cause I said so".
LOL...love it...

McGyver turns 58 today, so in honor of him Gene should have mad a bomb to blow his whole campaign up, it would have been less painful.
I am looking for a cheaper ink, thank you KODAK, now could you just quit redesigning your cameras so they fit on the original printer...

Great recap! Great screencaps and comments. I love love loved the one about the Kodak exec. and the dark crystal muppet. That was spot on! (You must love them, last weeks with Nely was a hoot too.)
Gene was entertaining and while sometimes random, he certainly made things interesting. His ego is unbeliveable.

"Trump says that the execs agreed, and announces Hydra the winner, making this the first time in history a reality show has actually succeeded in using misdirection."
This is a Mark Burnett reality show. Of course it would misdirect you.
