La Toya coming back was honestly a majorrr surprise. She got herself back on the show and got a second chance, so she really has to prove herself.

When NeNe and Star came back in the vibe was real crazy, I guess that's why Star left.

It was great to give Terrance from the United Methodist Children's Home 80k. I'm the only PM that has won two times and bringing that money home to ATL was a major victory!

Task delivery began and Mr. Trump surprises everyone by switching NeNe to our team and Meat Loaf to A.S.A.P.! Wow, we didn't expect that... but okay that's part of the game... let's go. John Rich immediately says he has Jimmy Fallon and Larry the Cable Guy that can help out. This guy is a beasttt! La Toya steps up as PM, she puts herself back in the hot seat again. Go girl. Meat Loaf steps up for A.S.A.P.

We get back to the war room and NeNe is a ghost. We all call her ova and ova with no answer. Oh well, we gotta get these dollar bills innn! Code red, let's goooo! John gives Jimmy Fallon a call and he calls back and says he can make it! We are lookin' good! Mr. John Rich kills it again! John Rich writes a new hit song, "Where the Hell is NeNe?" Haha!

Over on the A.S.A.P. side, Star goes afta Tracy Morgan and locks him in. Marlee says that she is doing comedy also. A.S.A.P. looks on point so far. Mr. Meat Loaf starts to pound the phones for money. Although they booked Tracy Morgan, I think the fact that he is just on video is not big enough. We have Jimmy Fallon in the flesh!

La Toya starts to pound the phones for money and can't really pull much in. Ivanka is shocked when we say NeNe is a ghost, and we basically get back to work tryin' to find money. Mr. Trump is the only one that gets NeNe on the phone and begs her not to quit. I think NeNe is so hurt by what she calls "Trump's favoritism" to Star that she just leaves.

I'm eatin' a lot on this episode... WTF. Lol!

When La Toya reveals that she got a text sayin' NeNe quit, we can't even believe it. We are here to raise money for our charities and she hasn't brought any home yet. I would stay for those reasons alone, but some people just can't take it.

We have to take a break from fundraising to pick our comedians. We pick some nice talent and get back to work. Meat Loaf seems to be really bringing it in. On our side in the Backbone war room - myself and John Rich keep bringin' it in! More and more $$! La Toya is tryin' but she is jus not getting major commitments.

Day 2:
Meat Loaf is really breaking down because the money he is raising is money that is from people that give to his charity [Painted Turtle]. He feels that if they lose that money it's taken away from those kids and he tries to get Mr. Trump to say each team keeps their money.

We get goin' on lockin' more money in. Money money moneeeeyyy. John Rich gets a donor to come in with 20k cash! That's biggggg! Then Jimmy shows up and he brings a check!! We are feeling good ova here at team Backbone! Jimmy also shows us the song he wrote for the show! "You're Fired!" We are havin' funnnn!

Ova on A.S.A.P.'s bus, Meat Loaf is still down and worried about the money. The girls get behind Meat with support and push him to go on. That's what teammates dooooo! Well, it's time to open the doors and get this thing goin'!

A.S.A.P. goes first and I hear a sax player and bass player... I'm like what is this... a jazz club? I know we gonna kill it cause we got a different kind of energy!! A.S.A.P.'s show seems to flow pretty well, but I like our comedians better and the Tracy Morgan video does not come off big. It's Backbone time!

We get it goin' and the comedians are rockin', so we close with Jimmy Fallon. Jimmy's set is amazinggg and totally has the room in tears with his material! Well, we put on a great show, but the task is about fundraising! It's Boardroom time again. We have two wins in a row... let's hope it's three!! Here we gooooo.

As Boardroom starts, Meat Loaf immediately breaks down. When I saw this, in my mind I think we had won. As Meat Loaf talks I totally understand his passion for his charity. It really touches me and I think touches everyone. Mr. Trump starts to realllllly go in on NeNe and calls her a quitter and says Star kicked her ass! I'm like damnnnnnnn! Mr. Trump does not like quitters, and I knew he was gonna be super pissed when she quit.

He also goes on to say that La Toya is a solid player and has a lot of respect for her. Ivanka says she was and is always impressed by John Rich and myself, and Mr. Trump goes on to say how solid a player I am also. This makes me feel really good because I don't think Mr. Trump knew much about me at the start of the show. Yeahhhhhhh!

John Rich surprises us all again with saying if Meat Loaf loses he will PERSONALLY match what he raised. That's a true friend and humanitarian.

Now it's time to reveal the winners. A.S.A.P. - 102k, Backbone - 82k, so Meat Loaf wins and keeps his money and gets an additional 82k to help Painted Turtle. Congrats on the win my friend, you worked hard, you deserve it! Buttttt we lost... now one of us will go home. It's never a good feeling in the Boardroom when you lose.

It's a fundraising task, and John raised the most money, so he is safe. I came in second and La Toya raised the least. I had John beat, but the Jimmy Fallon check pushed him ova the top! Haha. Mr. Trump asks me who to fire and I say the PM or the person who has raised the least amount of $$. Of course in my mind I know the outcome already. La Toya is the only person to get fired 2 times on this show! Freakin' crazzzzy! We are down to the final 5 now! I can't believe I made it this far! Yeahhhhhhhh!

It's down to just me and John Rich. The Jonzzzz! We kick ass! Lets goooo!

The next task is delivered and it is OnStar. I know a lot about this product because I have it in my car.
John steps up as PM and of course I got his back! Marlee is PM on the girls' team and can you say remmatttttccchhhh!

We sit down with the OnStar guys and get all the info we need for the task. We want to use something with "On" because their phrases are "Live On" etc. Meat Loaf throws me with the bike comment. WTF?? It's about puttin' it in cars that it was previously unavailable for.

We get back to our war room and immediately the ideas flow. I see the white backdrop (what we call a "psyke") when we walk in to the space and I lock in to using it, makin' a clean commercial like the Mac / PC commercials. I didn't wanna waste too much time doin' all this outside stuff. John has not been feeling good all day and starts to lose focus. Every noise seems to get to him. I know that this means a lot of the pressure is now gonna fall on me. John is my homie, I got his back so I am ready to step up.

Over at A.S.A.P. Meat Loaf seems to be allllll ova the place! That's my boy though! Haha. To quote Marlee "He's like a tornado on crack!" Bwhahahaha.

Back in Backbone we lock in to "discover on" as our main theme. The OnStar execs stressed to us over and over that one of the main points was that the product is now available to almost everyone. So people who don't know OnStar can now discover it! Yessss!! We lock in to our script and vignettes... I got my crew set up and we are rolllling baby!

A.S.A.P. chooses to NOT have a script. Meat and Star seem to be havin' problems. Meat thinks she is wastin' time. That's not good cause we are focused. I come up with this idea for our soccer mom's van to fall from the sky and also our college girl to push the next shot / frame. Big special effects, but easy shit to do in the edit. John is worried but I'm not. I went back in just to double check with my editor, and we were good.

On the girl's side it seems that Marlee has laid back and let Meat take ova. A.S.A.P. finally gets started shootin' but Star seems to not be able to get her lines out. They are losin' a lot of time and in these tasks you need every minute of the day! They had all these set-ups and also had to get props. That's too much work. Uhh ohhhh.

We get to the edit bay and notice A.S.A.P. is not there!! John and I say to each other they probably took too much time doin' too much and overthinkin' shots! A.S.A.P. seems to be stuck in traffic. Wayyyy behind people! We are feelin' good in our edit and are rollinnn. Then of course you get hiccups, but we keep pushin' to the wire and get it done! John as PM was rightfully stressed because we were runnin' out of time and this one special effect move was not workin' but we finally got it! Wheeewwww!

A.S.A.P. finally gets in and goin'... good luck players. Star and Meat Loaf still seem to not be clicking. If they lose, these cats r gonna fight!

Presentation time - A.S.A.P. is up to bat first. Their commercial is cool but not touching like ours! We were feeling verrry confident about our finished product and are readdyyyy! John hits them with personal connections, their new "on" and a great commercial! We nailed it!

Mr. Trump meets with the execs and they loved me, except they said I was ova the top! What?? I'm Lil Jon!! They say the soccer mom in the van was not wearing a seatbelt, but homie the car was not movin!!!!!! You can't fault me for that! Dangg. Oh well, it's Boardroom time. Lets gooo.

Mr. Trump shows the videos and in my mind I'm def not feeling A.S.A.P.'s video. I thought it was very bland. I know we have won when I see it. They didn't let the consumer know the product was available now and we had way more product placement.

Meat Loaf revealed to me later that he actually did like our video more. Ha haaaa!

The execs said we showcased the product very well and the girls didn't. They got on me about the seatbelt shizit, but the car wasn't movinnng!!! And in Marlee's video someone was behind the wheel without their seatbelt also... geez.

And the winner isssss?? The Jonzzzzz!!! The Jonz are in the final 4!!!! Yeahhhhh!!!

Uhh ohhh cat fight time. Star puts Meat out there for the humor and they say Star was in charge of product placement.

When Mr. Trump asks Marlee who he should fire, she says Meat Loaf. I'm like "Wooooooo." Mr. Trump also says "Marlee, you are PM, you should have taken control." Hot seat back on her! Star says Meat because of the video and me and John are like damn, they tryin' to get rid of him, he gotta fight. Come on Meat... swing back!

He calls out Star for the product placement and branding! That was what her job was and that was a main fault for them losing. Wow, Star says don't call me "sweetie" to Meat... danggg. Meat and Star are goin' at it. That was a big surprise and they aren't even in the Boardroom! She did say we don't need the shot, we got it on the disk. She hits Meat with enough, and Meat is like WTF, hell no. Off da chain. I'm surprised Marlee is not sayin' anything.

Mr. Trump gets on Marlee again for not steppin' up as PM to take control. I think that is a valid point. But everything is going back to branding, and Star was in charge of it... she is out! Wow! The final four is Lil Jon, John Rich, Meat Loaf and Marlee!

Gary is outta here! Yeahhhhhhhhhhh!

We were ecstaticccc that Gary is gone and we can now finally focus. Now let's get goin' on this next task!
Backbonnne!

The task is to come up with a campaign for the Trump Hotel collection, this is gonna be hard because this is for the boss - Mr. Trump himself. John Rich steps up as PM as well as Star. We are confident because we do not have a distraction like Gary anymore. It's three against five and we have to be focused.

We meet with the executives and we think we have a good idea of what they want. Star seems focused on what she wants for A.S.A.P.'s campaign. Seems like a lot of tension on the women's team early on. La Toya is not feeling Star's ideas.

Meat Loaf comes up with the guy lookin' into the future idea, and John and I are like, "Duhhh, I don't know." I come up with the concept "Live the Life." We are off to a great start!

Star calls La Toya the weak link, and sends her off to run errands with NeNe. She is not feelin' La Toya and doesn't want to work with her. She calls her fake and is also hurt that she thinks it's a negative vibe and image being placed on her.

We meet with Eric and he gives us good points. Back in A.S.A.P.'s room they are still arguing. With this task you need every second... not lookin' good for them already. It seems like NeNe and La Toya might be workin' it out. They laid it on the table and are getting over their differences. A hug seals the deal, and they are cool again. Congrats, A.S.A.P. The ladies are ruling photographers, models, etc.... uhh ohh they are focused.

We at Backbone are hammering out our ideas, and Meat Loaf goes off and gets props. John and I really start to lock in on the verbiage of the ads and the visual for the ad. Meat Loaf goes off and shoots pics, John continues to write, and I do the ads. I really wanted to shoot the butler but we are short-handed. I hope he has the same vision as I do.

Looks like NeNe and La Toya have become best friends while they were running errands, but the girls are behind because NeNe was late getting back from errands. She lets the curse words fly because she feels she is being rushed, and because Star starts to give comments and criticism. It looks like they are back to the normal - As Sorry As Possible.

We have problems on our side because Meat Loaf took pictures that were not my vision. We have no time to retake them, so we have to just edit what we have. A.S.A.P. appears to be behind schedule. La Toya has the last photo shoot of the day for the girls, and it's a lil' not together, but it comes together at the end. John tells us over and over that we can't have any misspelled words. We go back and forth amongst each other and make it happen. La Toya states again that she is not feeling the concept. Oh well, we are all done... tomorrow is the pitch and we are ready.

It's time for the pitch and we all get it goin'. And one thing is that John and Meat Loaf give personalllll experiences, and I looked in the execs' eyes and I think that that personal touch might have pushed us over the top! Yeahhh! The girls give their pitch... It's cool but I think it's just okay. All of those one words were kinda wack... make a damn sentence!! Haha! Also, the visuals are very jumbled and the words are small. I don't like it at all. Wow, they said the women's campaign looks like an ad from a sleazy club. Haha! You can see Hope has a towel on in the bathtub... Ewww, not good.

All that spell-checking and we have a misspelled word. WTF! They also think we have too many words in our ad, and we forgot the website, etc. Oh mannnn! Not goood! Let's hope our pitch is what takes us ova' the top!

They called both of our campaigns a train wreck! Geez! The execs loved our pitch more, so I hope we got it! It's gonna be an interesting Boardroom. NeNe says people are crawling up Star's ass. Nuts. It looks like NeNe has a whole other level of respect for La Toya for standing up to Star. When Mr. Trump says the judges did not like either team, my heart dropppped! This is what we were afraid of... being critically judged by the boss.

When Eric says that there were a lot of negatives my heart drops again! Then when they say we had no website and telephone number it drops - again. We worked our assess off all day, non-stop and I think we just missed things. I feel better when Don Jr. says a longgg list of negatives for the girls! He then goes on to call the girls a Greek tragedy. I think we will win with John and Meat Loaf's personal connections.

When Mr. Trump said there is no winner, but there is a loser and says the girls lost I feel sooooo much relief. Whoooowww... Backbone is not losing anymore! John Rich has now won over 646k for his charity! Congrats my brother! Let's have a Don Julio shot and watch these girls fall apart!!

Star is PM, so she is in the hot seat. Trump asks who should be fired... La Toya says Star. The target is on her back. Marlee says La Toya; NeNe even says La Toya is the overall weakest link. The girls have been sayin' since day one that La Toya can't and does not know how to do anything. I hope she can fight it out in the Boardroom. Star picks NeNe and La Toya to bring back in the boardroom. Wow, this is gonna be good!

La Toya calls Star out for the losses they have had, but NeNe says it's La Toya that should be fired. La Toya doesn't say goodbye to Star, but gives NeNe a hug. Ohh, obvious that La Toya is not feelin' her. NeNe says we gotta be a team if we don't want to lose... wonder what's up for next week's task! Let's gooo!

- LIL JON

Congrats John, and congrats Marlee - $1million! $1.6 combined... you both need to be commended! That's why we are here!

We definitely are all fed up with Gary. He is a major distraction from getting the tasks done! Oh well, let's get back to work!

La Toya steps up as PM quickly, wow. I guess she really wants to prove herself. On our team, Mark is the last person on Backbone that has not been PM. $40K is on the line so hereeee we goooo!

Freakin' piratesss!! With the treasure as the Australian gold... not mad at it! We were way more risky with ACN!! Seems like La Toya is up in the air with ideas and direction, and our team is lookin' good already.

This meeting with the execs and Gary... when he talks about his sexual feelings we are all like WHATTTTT! John raises concerns about the pirate theme but the guys and I think we can pull it off. Mark gives out duties and I gotta babysit Gary and go get props. Damnnn.

The girls start comin' up with ideas and La Toya doesn't choose Hope to be a model? Big mistake!! Star seems so frustrated with tryin' to get La Toya to understand the budget of the project. Lookin' like normal A.S.A.P! Peeps not getting' along. It seems like the delegation is bad and also the girls don't have an idea of what they are doing with the actual execution of the task. As La Toya goes over the concept with the designers, she still doesn't know what her concept is.

Gary and I wildin' out in the costume store is fun. When we go to check out, they ask if I wanted the koala costume... we bailed on that because we didn't wanna piss the company off if the mascot wasn't exactly like theirs. So the girls take it. Good luck! GOLD GOLD AUSTRALIAN GOLD! Even more to nail in our theme! Yeahh.

I agree with Ivanka when she talks to the girls about the beach concept. It was the same old ish Australian Gold already has.

When I check out the set it looks amazing, I think we got this. While we are working on weathering some props, Gary clearrrrrly does not know how to beat stuff with a chain! Haha. Watching the girls paint is priceless. I hope they can pull it together.

So the day of the task John Rich and I have to get all the girls ready and we are rushing to get to the location to help set up. La Toya seems focused on the day of the task, and is doing whatever it takes. We finally get there and everybody gets to work! Team A.S.A.P's setup looks like the same old, same old for the brand. Backbone opens and we get into character! We totally sell the experience and the product!! When the executives checked out the women, it seems like they liked the snow theme and the koala bear... hmmm. Hopefully our experience is stronger. As soon as the executives come, Gary comes and kidnaps them for 30 minutes. This is Mark's project, he is PM... that is Mark's job! Wow - Gary pushes Mark away, he was about to lose it! He even pitched himself to the executives like he's tryin' to get a job. The execs were definitely tense when they came to our setup. The execs got on us about not using the koala bear. Hmmm, we had his image large on stuff, I guess we needed more presence from him!

The execs saw A.S.A.P. didn't use their team well, they didn't use Hope! I knew that was bad. Boardroom is just starting and they are already going at La Toya. She is not backing down though - go girl - stick up for yourself! When Mr. Trump says, "Why didn't you use Hope," in my head I'm like, "Wow! Big mistake." I just knew we had won!

Mr. Trump hates tattoos, and Mark has been hiding his all season, but Mr. Trump finally saw it! Haha.

We definitely killed the experience, like Meat says, "treasure the moments," and we created a moment. We did risk a lil' bit with the theme, but we didn't wanna do the same old thing. Mark says he would have to take FULL RESPONSIBILITY if we lost? Noooo, that might come back to haunt you pimp! The pirate theme kills us this time, but we think it really was Gary! Funk that!

NeNe and La Toya are goin' at it! Wow. "I worked my ass off while you looked like Casper the ghost!" A.S.A.P. are always arguing... it's crazyyyy!

Back in the Boardroom, we all knew Gary was gonna cost us the win by saying everythin' he did to the execs. Gary should go home. He lost this task... the pirate theme sold the product and we had so many people everywhere wanting and loving it. Wow - John Rich calls out Gary as a person that is doing this crazy thing on purpose. I don't know; let's see as the season goes. I knew Gary's sexual comment was gonna come up in the Boardroom!

Who will Mark bring in the Boardroom? It's obvious it will only be Gary. That face Gary makes looking at Mark before the commercial is eerie.

Gary is denying, denying, denying the sexual comment in the Boardroom. It WAS said Gary! I definitely agree with Don Jr. in saying that Gary probably turned the execs off and that is what turned them off to the theme.

I knew the fact that Mark took full responsibility would haunt him. Do like Mr. Trump says, and watch yourself Gary!!

I told Mark during the camping task that we could possibly win. We KNEWWW we had created an incredible experience.

It's crazy the girls wouldn't even sit down and hang with us after our win!! We hung with them! Come on ladies!!

Congrats to Gary for bringing $40K for his charity!

Let's get into the next task and whoop these girls again! La Toya is timekeeper??? Woww!! Lil Jon vs. NeNe - let's gooooo!! The girls are getting off to a good start for a change.

Jose went to Busey-land talkin' outer space stuff. Gotta love this show!

We nailed our concept immediately and are laughing our butts off. John Rich has concerns about this being risky and it definitely is. When we researched the company I noticed on their website that they were very conservative. I didn't want to do the same old stuff that they have done. They came to us for something new, and that's what we will do!

Looks like NeNe is actually a really good PM. She is delegating excellently! Some of NeNe's comments have me rollin'! "What woman can't go get a sofa and chair?" Wow.

Gary starts to get a li'l distracted... Very hard to work like that.

Girls are startin' to fall apart. Help NeNe out, A.S.A.P. team members.

When I saw Jose and that makeup, I was dying. Seems like Richard is hitting on Jose. Ha ha, WTF!? A purple couch... Hells noooo, take that back... We can't? Oh well, let's throw these ugly green things on it. Ahh, now we're good.

Dionne snaps on Marlee and she gets pissed! Haha.

Wow, we start shootin' and Jose hits the "Hola" line and everyone goes nuts. So funny. I know they gonna go nuts when they see this! For a first-time director NeNe does very well. You got a future in this, girl!

"La Toya can't tell you 1 plus 1." Damn NeNe, a tripppp! The girls go with an emotional video, but it's the same old stuff that ACN already has. I think it's a bad move! Ivanka comes in and we are workin' workin' workin'. She says it's the first time someone has not told her the concept. Only Lil Jon can do that baby! Yeah!!!!

Gary as Grandpa is killin' it. When you give him something to do he really nails it! NeNe brings her entire team to editing. Bad move cause it will be distracting with all the opinions!! Two people are good enough. Hey, if Dionne was tired, let her go home.

Task Day - we are ready! Good spirits and joking like we always do. Backbone has funnnn no matter what... let's win this!

The girls seem a li'l stiff during their presentation and I don't think you should tell ACN stuff they already know. They know about their product. Backbone owns the room. No way the girls can touch us!! The applause was so loud and we got a standing ovation!! Yeahhhhhhh!!

Yes, Mr. Trump, it was a big risk but hey, we're thinkin' outside of the box sir!! We put it allllll on the line.

NeNe, don't cry girl, you did a great job. Uhh ohh - Dionne, they callin' you out! Nene's rollin' her eyes while she's talkin'... She ain't feelin' that! Backbone says no weak players, A.S.A.P. calls out Hope and Dionne. Wowww! NeNe rollin' those eyes while La Toya's talkin'. Also she ain't feelin' her at all, damn.

BACKBONE FOR THE WINNN!! I guess the gamble paid off John Rich. Three in a row!! TEAM LIL JON, TEAM BACKBONE!!!

Now lets watch the cat fight. Don says exactly what I said... the girls did the same kind of commercial that ACN already has! Star calls La Toya and Hope followers - ohhh that hurts! Nene says the team could do without Dionne and that the other girls on the team are scared of her. Wowww.

Dionne says fire herself. I couldn't believe she said that. She just basically quit... she's fired, damn. Dionne calls NeNe a coward, that's crazy.

- LIL JON

Star presents her charity with 115K... That is great! That is why we are here, baby. Now let's get to the next task. When Mr. Trump said we had to do a children's book and perform it, my freakin' heart dropped! We are going up against eight women! I was thinkin' how are we gonna do this!?

Wow, strategy for the women to get Lisa out by makin' her PM. This is gonna be a tough season. They choose me as the main character and I'm like, hey, why not? John and Mark are great writers and I agree with Meat Loaf that they can nail the story.

Wow, ASAP is in trouble... seems they are always arguing. I'm glad I'm on the men's team! Shittt! ASAP needs 2 stand for "Always Some Arguing People." HAHAHAHA. Seems like all that arguing makes the women lose a lot of time and not progress faster.

Meat made a simple mistake by sendin' Jose and Gary to the wrong address, but it's easy to make mistakes when you're under such pressure.

I think we had a way better storyline than the women.

I agree with Lisa that the team name should have been on the book instead of individual names.

Wow... it's the day of the show and the women are stilllll arguing! Come on girls, get it together. Star Jones as the dog and NeNe as the chicken??? Hilarious!!! And on our team, Jose as a woman made everyone laugh!

We really rocked the house and had the whole place rockin'. We knew we had this! I thought the women's fonts were wayyyy too small and the concept was wayyyy too deep for 4- and 5-year-old kids. It's amazing how even before Mr. Trump announced who won, the girl's were already throwing Lisa under the bus! After us guys left, it was clear Lisa was in danger by the way Star and Dionne were at her. Lisa lost her spirit to fight. I think she was just over it because she was getting attacked.

Not a shock Lisa was fired. In this game you gotta be ready to fight it out to the end and also not fall into the traps that are set!

- Lil Jon
