They are locked until the show is over on the west coast so spoilers don't accidentally get posted in the contestant threads.

I thought that it was a wrong move to not speak to the client about his wishes for the commercial ... but the guys were able to nail it regardless. Their ad was great!!

Looks like Saturday will be a replay of the 1st 2 shows as well as a showing of the deleated scenes from Gene Simmons and Ivanka mishap...

I liked the mens ad better. I adore Gene I did think he should have listened to the executives to see what they wanted that was an error. I know and recognized all of the celebrities including Nely. Nadia seemed to me to be almost comatose I wanted to slide a mirror under her nose to see if she was breathing.

For the second week in a row the project manager of an abysmal failure is saved by a contestant that should never have been on the show to begin with.

Hydra's ad was great, although I'd have worked the ad around the more recognizable Vincent Pastore. He's a notorious 'bad' guy. Showing how an animal can melt even the toughest of guys would have worked very well.

Bottom line though, it was Trace's voice over that made it work.

I loved this episode. Some thoughts are that Omarosa's skirt was too short. I find it offensive when she shows too much skin. Also, I wouldn't feel complimented by her attentions. Scared more accurately comes to mind.

The guys commercial was hands down much better. It brought a smile to my face.

Did we see the entire commercials? I don't feel that we did and I would have liked to.

I admire that Simmons has business sense and strong enough convictions to stand by his decisions (sticking with the director, kicking the others out when they would only have been a distraction). I think if Simmons hadn't insisted on respecting the short timeframe the ad would not have been nearly as good.

When the girls flashed "dogsrule.com" on the screen at the beginning of their presentation to Pedigree I immediately went to that website. It had me thinking the girls had invented that and had won. But apparently Pedigree set some limits on the commercials (opening and closing?).

I'm amused that the unlikely cat enthusiast was the one chosen to be the unlikely puppy enthusiast.

Once again the sleezy O is shown to be the waste of breath that she is - when she buried herself in the computer so she could not be assigned blame for the outcome. Nadia didn't know how to play the dodge-the-blame game, so she was let loose.

I like that time is not spent showcasing silly rewards. It would be a waste on these contestants. They get to go back to the hotel.

Gene was chosen as PM before it was announced that the prize would be $20K for the charity. I'll bet he was expecting more.

Kind of shows everyone has a different perspective. I asked my wife who the fat italian guy was. She knew who Lennox Lewis was. I've never even heard of Trace Adkins before this. He voice was great and their commercial was definitely better.

Since everyone seems to have different opinions on who is a recognizable celebrity, they could have had Lennonx Lewis, Vincent Pastore, and Tito Ortiz, all three "tough guys", having a play date with their dogs.

Omarosa hid during the work and then at the eleventh hour (almost literally) during editing questioned if the dog was too slobbery. Too late to do anything about it and gives her an arguement later in the boardroom if she gets called in. This tatic - disagree when it is too late and be overruled - has been used in previous seasons.
