I guess I am in the minority but I felt that the Celebrity Apprentice show last night was a total disgrace and created a negative image of Good Sam. The foul mouthed participants added nothing to a good camping experience and not a one had a clue as to what an RV even is. They were just a bunch of self centered idiots too busy dealing with their own self importance to do a decent jingle in promotion of Good Sam. Marcus, you should be ashamed to even smile at these idiots. By doing so you condone Trump and his crew of egomaniacs. He has fired the best of this years participants on a weekly basis. All we have left now is mostly representatives of the gay and lesbian persuasion.
I was a charter member of Good Sams (#52) back in the 60s but think the original purpose of the club has been subverted to the almighty buck.

While I dont completely agree with the previous comments, I do find it interesting that the most foul mouthed, self centered, self righteous person is still a contender for Donald Trump's apprentice. Come on Trump, get a clue! Lisa Lampanelli, a perfect representation of Donald Trump's empire....about as good as Joan Rivers!

Clay is the only person who is gay on the show, so I'm not quite sure how you state that "all we have left now is mostly representatives of the gay and lesbian persuasion." What does it matter if the man is gay?I hope your not trying to say that there are no gay campers, because I'm sure there are.
The jingles were good, it was the skits that weren't that hot. If you've been watching there has been a lot of cat fighting the whole time. In previous years there was also cat fighting Annie Duke vs. Joan Rivers, Star Jones vs Ne Ne Leak. It is really no different than before if you've been watching the show all along.
I hate to tell you most people go into business to provide a service and make a buck. If you can't stay profitable your business closes, so yes money does make the world go round.

I think the "Gay" comment had more to do with the charities that the remainder of the contestants represent NOT the fact that Clay is Gay....I could be wrong, maybe he or she will come back to clarify. Lets face it....the bickering is what keeps the ratings up. I told my wife that after that Joan Rivers BS, I would never watch it again, so much for that..... lol

While I have no opinion about the contestants for I do not personally know them, this show is about getting our brand out to different audiences. We do not control content or message.
I will however not tolerate any sort of bigotry, racism or anything of the sorts on this site. We are all different and no one is perfect. If you are not able to conduct yourself on this forum with professionalism and respect towards others you will be blocked. I personally will not associate myself or this company with anyone who lacks the open heart for everyone regardless.
The good samaratin does not judge he helps others. If this isn't the right club do you we all respect your decision. This is not a political platform nor a platform for personal agendas.
We all just want to go camping and enjoy our life.

Way to go Mr. Lemonis!
In no way should comments about any persons beliefs or lifestile be part of this eclectic group. Diversity is the binding yet disseminating factor in the GS Family.
Now about that flip side commercial on cruise ships --- We had fun with that idea in Dallas. Even the Donald would run with that .

There are few CEO's that will take this strong of position and I applaud you for it. You are taking Good Sam in the right direction and I wish you all the success possible.
