In case you didn’t catch it, Jesse got to broaden his skill set this week by learning how to clean toilets, lug other people’s stuff around, and politely deal with unruly demands of the people he’s serving…skills that the rest of the staff here at West Coast Choppers have already mastered. But that’s commentary. So, the men’s and women’s groups were tasked with staffing the Lowes Regency Hotel in New York. All the candidates were outfitted in hotel uniforms, and it’s probably the only time you’ll see him in something other than a tshirt with burn holes. It was the most dramatic episode so far, and you can see it again in living color at the NBC website…plus get the behind the scenes scoop on how it felt to wait on cranky ass guests.
I was watching that You’re Fired show and I was totally impressed by Jesse. Cool that you had the cojones to front on Dennis and tell him how it is. I was a drunk for a long time and no one told me so props for that.
On the whole, I’m impressed with Jesse’s willingness to do what needs to be done-even depubeing. You are like a regular person and I hope you win.
Oh, if you do win, I am the pastor of a church and we are always looking for money…. jk, but it would be cool if you won.
Jesse - I have a lot of respect for the way that you handled Dennis’ drinking problem in the boardroom last night! You are an outstanding representative for “blue-collar america” and I wish you the best my brother……
I wanted to say that I think more of Jesse James as a man today then ever. He stood up and wanted to help a fellow person without talking down to him. He was true to himself. I am not sure that the problem would have been brought out if Jesse would not have said something and sometimes that is the first step to helping someone! Thank you!
Great job Jesse! You spoke the truth to Dennis without guilt and shame. You did it with love and respect and I admire you for stepping up.

I just saw this episode of The Celebrity Apprentice. If mainstream America doesn’t respect you more now than they may have before, something’s wrong. Hardworking, no excuses and calling it like you see it. What’s good is that you didn’t mask the problem, but spoke right up about it and in a helpful way, not condescending. Can’t get any better than that.
After watching Celebrity Apprentice last night, I felt compelled to say I admire the way Jesse handled the situation on last nights show. I have noticed in each episiode that Jesse is willing to speak up on all topics and the hard ones that no one touches. Last night was no exception. You handled the situation with such honesty and respect. The truth usually hurts those that are blind to it, but it takes someone to show the way.
You had me as a fan from the beginning of the show when Donald asked how much money you had your people bring in and you stated something to the affect that my friends don’t have that kind of money. You are someone the rest of the world can relate to!
Wishing you all the best!
Jesse, my husband and I are HUGE fans. We were so pumped to hear that you were going to be on Celebrity Apprentice. You are awesome! Each week we are so impressed by your class, intelligence, positive attitude, quick wit and over all good guy persona. Keep up the good work and don’t ever change!
We can’t wait to see what you’ve got in store for us on ‘Jesse James A Dead Man’.
Cheers!
Jesse - I was completely blown away by the Celebrity Apprentice on Sunday night. The compassion and kindness shown to Dennis Rodman was truly in the spirit of recovery. I have not had a drink in 19 years (in fact, today is my anniversary) I was 20 when I stopped drinking — it’s so hard to believe. It was very powerful to watch and I’m grateful to have discovered you may also trudge the road to happy destiny. Sue
I thought that was a brave, brave thing you did, Jesse. Kudos, man. Coming from both ends of this spectrum, there really are a lot of people who do not have the courage to address addictive problems of an individual in the respectful manner that you did. I don’t know how much of this was hollywood version but I do know that you did a good job of it. Maybe other people will learn from this approach. I did not know where else to contact you to tell you that was truly a brave and wonderful thing you did since I do not twitter or my space so I hope that you see this or at least get knowledge of the support.
p.s.
About the pubic hair thing,. That is real life and truth. I have read some bloggers that were put off by that.
However, I have girlfriends who either bring their own sheets to a hotel room or go over the room with a fine tooth comb for reason’s such as this. Some will even ask for a different room or a comp of some sort. So, again, KUDO’s . What you so was the truth.
Shout out to Lawrence above. I too had a drinking problem that no one, not even psychologist or psychiatrist, were willing to address. Congrats for getting the help you needed even if it was on your on.( just guesing)
Totally impressed by the way you handle yourself on Celebrity Apprentice, especially last show confronting Dennis. You are very professional, always serious and sincere, smart, logical, hard working, and true to the bone.
I did not know Jesse before watching the Celebrity Apprentice. I was impressed with Jesse immediately. He is obviously a rock solid, smart guy. When I watched the episode tonight…wow. Jesse brought to light in a very caring yet truthful way a problem with Dennis Rodman. It was very touching to watch a group of celebrities reach out to a peer in trouble. Jesse you are really quite something.
I, along with most other viewers was thinkin’ that Dennis [who was probably hammered in the Boardroom] was gonna sucker punch Jesse for what he was sayin’ but nothin’ but Kudos to Jesse for tellin’ it like it is. I drank for 27 years and I quit about 3 years ago. Best thing I ever did. No one can quit until they themselves are ready to and I sincerely hope for Dennis’ sake that he is ready to quit. He has so much to offer but it won’t show up until he cleans up. Way to go Jesse, you rock!
Just watched this episode… Jesse, there’s no one I’ve been more impressed with than you during this season of the show show far. Anytime I’ve ever seen you in any effort, you come across as such a genuine person whose hard work has brought you success and celebrity, rather than just a false persona for celebrity’s sake. I admire and respect your ballsy honesty, work ethic and obvious creative & engineering genius even more now than before, and I was already a fan. I have no doubt you impressed The Donald and everyone else in NYC. Big love from Florida. Muah!! xo
