I am so glad the way things have turned out for Trace. I am so excited for next weeks finale.

Anyone that wants them jsut send me your email addy privately and I will send you all that I have I got them all saved and then some

Oh and I LOVED the CMT insider with the clip of the Nashville show where he invited the girls there ad O gets on stage with some other gals and is shaking her groove thing - he looked tickled at it but I laughed so hard at so many spots tonite - the chihuahua comment, the kicking british ass comment, but especially that part where he is asked by Trump if ladies usually liked him and without a BEAT he said YES ! lol Then he laughed to himself and AT himself - classic

I'm pleased he didn't win because I don't think he should have even been in the final, Carole should have been against Piers, imo. There was no way he was ever going to "kick British ass".
Sorry, we Brits are made of sterner stuff in general and Piers is in particular.

Trace seems like a decent enough guy, although his reaction to Piers kissing him bothered me. I don't know why he reacted like that, hopefully because he was irritated that he was brought into the argument Piers and Omarosa were having rather than because a man pecked him on the cheek.
Anyway, nice guy, great speaking voice and I'm sure he brought some publicity to his charity which was one of the main aims of going on the show.

I agree with you Fluff. I was glad that Carole spoke up and said she was made that she was not in the final too.

I think that in a quiet way, Trace contributed A LOT to many of the challenges, but he didn't do a very good job of highlighting those things. There were several challenges where he came up with some very creative ideas which sealed wins for his teams. But in the end, it seemed like he either didn't quite get the point of his being there, or else he really didn't care about winning - he just wanted to get another plug in for FANS. I can respect that, but if that was his motivation, it cost him the win. I think the final was Pier's to lose all along. But if Trace had answered the "why should you win" question NOT by talking about how worthy a cause his charity is, but by pointing out the things he'd contributed throughout, he would have at least made it a competition. Instead, he went with this idea that being a nice guy made you more worthy in business ... and tried to convince Donald Trump of that???

I am sick of people bringing up his "reaction" to the kiss - it wasn't just a kiss it was a total invasion or someones personal space. At least Trace can walk away and live his life with dignity and self respect which I don't think Piers has been able to do for many years.

Trace is a winner in more peoples eyes than not and that showed throughout the show last nite with everyone being on his side. But bottom line was that a good charity benefited, they both did, just too bad that the spokesperson of the Intrepid Fund was such a piece of garbage

Yes he most assuredly did.

His reaction to the kiss from Piers on its own didn't really have much of an impact on me. However, after seeing his reponse to the black nail polish request last night - talking about his being the most heterosexual man he could think of, going with the manly man Lennox Lewis to buy black nail polish for another man - coupled with the response to the kiss, I can understand why it would have rubbed some people the wrong way. I will not take those incidents to go so far as to say Trace is homophobic. But I think that the combination of events does elude to the notion that Trace subscribes strongly to old-fashioned stereotypes of both gay and straight men.

No doubt that Trace's reaction to the kiss had plenty to do with the fact that he obviously doesn't like Piers at all, period. Piers made me cringe and that was just from watching him on TV. But as far as the black nail polish thing went, Trace seemed just as turned off - if not more - by the wheatgrass request. And the knee brace set him off as well. I think it was the pettiness of the rider rather than the actual nail polish - obviously his own backstage riders don't include such silly items.

This isn't a fan thread, people who aren't impressed by his every move are allowed to post their feelings too.
In your opinion it was an invasion of personal space.
In mine it was a peck on the cheek and hardly anything to get riled up about.
If Carol had kissed him I doubt anyone would be saying she invaded his personal space

Trace played the game great. His scenes about the BSB had me laughing so hard!! Quite enjoyed the show last night and hope we see new Celebrity Apprentices again and again and again. Much more fun to watch than regular Apprentice. Love the celebrity interactions and seeing them in the board room.
