Not that this could be changed, but Trace Adkins is not a third-tier country star. He’s more of a “second-tier” star. The argument could be made out of all of the “Apprenti” that Adkins is the most accomplished of the entire group. If you ask contemporary country fans who Trace Adkins is, they are *not* going to say “who are you talking about?” Hell, out of all of the Apprenti (save for Pastore, and only because of his distinct physical appearance), Adkins is the one most easy recognized on the streets of New York.
The only member of Celebrity Apprentice who might compete with Adkins is Gene Simmons, most of whose accomplishments came before most of your readers were born, and who really hasn’t accomplished anything since first-tier stage act KISS took off their make-up and became a second-tier metal band, and then a third-tier nostalgia act. Gene Simmons is currently a third-tier reality star, but who knows? He might move up.

A Mighty Wind is my favorite Guest-directed flick as well.
