I am rather surprised that Gene has found a wingman he has faith in: Baldwin.

I join with the admiration of Gene Simmons. He is, of course, a marketing genius. To keep the Kiss legend alive for three decades is proof enough. He, simply
enough, marketed Kiss to its lofty position. While the other people on the show have all achieved a measure of fame, he stands out as being the only one to
literally rise from poverty to riches by virtue of his acute business sense (not atheletic prowness, acting ability, etc). Indeed, in my mind he outranks Trump
in that respect, since Trump inherited his father's business (he built it way up, of course, but he did not start with nothing).

After Gene's apology my wife looked at me and said, "God, he's a master at manipulating these people."

Yeah. He breaks all the "rules" because he knows that he knows what he's doing. He makes a sincere apology and the whole Ivanka thing is
forgotten.
He's nothing short of amazing. |

Gene is awesome because he not only has business sense, but he's a showman. That sisterhood jibe at Ivanka was totally Gene playing for the cameras and
the conflict of a reality "show," in my opinion. He's playing all sides of this.
No way he's going any time soon. Donald knows what ratings gold he is. Same reason he'll keep Omarosa around as long as possible. What's good for the show is good for business.

I had absolutely no interest in this guy to start with but I am obsessed with him now. He gave me so many lol moments last night. He is so friggin cool and
confident and has that dry humor that I love. It was great when they played the women's commercial in the boardroom and he put his hand out behind him for
the high-five because he knew they had won

I,m not even sure Trump was 100% serious wit the "Nobody insults my daughter" bit.

You could see Ivanka's fangs come out. She obviously cannot stand Gene.
Even with there warped teamwork skills (booting the boys out of the room and most of the event) I have to say, they did a good job. Gene is the puppet-master and I'd be surprised if he got fired any time soon. I can't wait to see him in a boardroom showdown against two of the other men; that's when I really feel he'll get himself bumped for the hell of it or crucify his competition. |

Yeah. Ivanka wasn't too thrilled with Gene. Did anyone else see how she disengaged from that handshake with him?

Handshake Weirdness | ||

Ivanka seemed to sense she was shaking hands with a slimeball-I'm surprised only the last poster even mentioned it-but what she did immediately after
shaking hands and no one has mentioned this was shake her hand several times as if she were wiping some shitty KISS music (which would include every recording
they ever made for Casablanca and everyone else) off her hands, like just the idea of Gene shaking her hand was so repulsive she couldn't wait to shake the
shitstains off.

Ivanka is secretly hot for Gene. Any woman who has read those juicy stories about the things he did with his groupies back in those days would be. Young Gene
is a sex god and second only to young Mick Jagger as the cock jock of the rock and roll era.

That's ridiculous-Gene has a longtime reputation as an arrogant prick and he's what? 58 years old now? Not like he's ever been skinny, either.
Being a marketing genius doesn't change the fact that KISS music sucks and always has. Other examples of this marketing before talent strategy are Ashlee
Simpson, Jessica Simpson, crazy old bitch Britney.

WTF are you talking about? Why would his weight be an issue? Like the KISS groupies would care. |

Not talking about the groupies-on the subject of Trump's daughter here. She has basically her choice of any guy alive-and the advantage of not being a rich
dumb ho like Paris-Ivanka is not rich white trash like Hilton is. She has a brain and she KNOWS Gene is a condescending asshole-you have to realize part of his
power lies in being an arrogant prick, specifically the kind of arrogant prick who has some smarts and a few original ideas-but that's not enough for
Trump's daughter. She might as well want to be with this sleazy Trump wanna be as Gene Simmons-and I guarantee you it will never happen:
http://www.dudemanphat.blogspot.com/2005/03/its-shuki-time.html He's another arrogant sleazeball in the Simmons mold-difference is Gene has more class. He at least knows who butters his bread and he can rectify his mistakes, usually, before he goes too far-not the case with Shuki. While Gene does have good points, he's hardly a sex god and he isn't going to get anyone as smart and privileged as Ivanka. The girls who fall all over him, including those on this thread, are buying into that stupid fantasy Gene has cooked up in his mind-that's all. His arrogance is his undoing. |

Wait a minute, Ivanka is smart?
|

Well, yes, compared to Paris Hilton who's a high school dropout, for one.
|
|||

But why are we comparing Paris Hilton to Ivanka Trump? Paris has nothing to do with this show. Is it because they both get where they were due to Daddy
Dearest?
Why lower the bar and use Paris as a comparison basis? That's like comparing everyone's IQ to that of the village idiot. It is pretty easy to come off smarter than Paris, let's just say. |
