I'm so excited for a new season of Celebrity Apprentice. This time, it's the All Stars! We're sure to be in for some major drama, backstabbing and fighting...because if we've learned anything from previous seasons of Celebrity Apprentice, it's that celebrities will do A LOT to win for their charities. Let the craziness begin...
Teams: no more Men vs. Women. Trump tells Bret Michaels (previous winner) and Trace Adkins (previous runner-up) choose teams.
Team Trace Adkins: "Team Plan B"
Penn Jillette
Dee Snyder
Marilu Henner
Stephen Baldwin
Lisa Rinna
Gary Busey
Team Bret Michaels: "Team Power"
Omarosa Manigault
Lil' Jon
Brande Roderick
LaToya Jackson
Claudia Jordan
Dennis Rodman (last picked)
Team Name Selections & Project Manager Selections
Bret's team realizes that they have all of the black people, so they think their name should be "Ebony". But since they are not all black, Lil' Jon suggests maybe they should be "Team Oreo". Bret suggested "Salt-N-Pepper". Several people want to be PM, including Bret. However, Brande REALLY wanted it badly and got down on one knee and begged for it. They gave in, much to the dismay of Omarosa who thought it was dumb for winner, Bret to give in so easily.
Trace's team is absolutely crazy! Gary, Stephen, and Penn...oh my! Gary had so many quotes in so little time that it was impossible to catch them all, so I had to rewind a few times. Gary's suggestions for team names: Invisible Witches, Sperm Farmers, Ferrets, Bread Pudding, Sanitation Engineers, The Cotton Ponies, Silver and Gold. Eventually, they come up with the team name "Plan B". Trace said he once had a song with the lyrics: "the backseat of my Chevrolet was the best Plan B Detroit ever made". Gary says it's on the top level for a team and is also a form of birth control. The team agrees to have Trace as PM.
The Task
The teams gather in the board room, with Ivanka and previous Celebrity Apprentice winner, Piers Morgan as advisors. Immediately, the mud-slinging between Omarosa and Piers began. So disgusting...they just can't help themselves. It's been years, and they still can't let their feud die.
The task is meatballs. They have to make them and sell them, as well as appear on the Live! with Kelly and Michael show.
Trace takes an interesting approach to the task. Let's not sell meatballs for the public, let's just raise money. He didn't think they should worry about making them taste good. Not everyone was in agreement because this is a big risk.
Oh my...they gave Gary Busey a knife!
Team Power goes with a vegetarian meatball. Penn points out that "meatball" is a compound word and you should have to have both meat and balls to make them.
Team Plan B goes with Hairy Meatballs.
And again, I can't stand Omarosa. Already she's talking about how excited she would be if she could take out the winner of Celebrity Apprentice, which is Bret. It's the first task lady!
Trace opens the door, and no one is there. He had decided to put a sign on the door that said "Closed for Private Event". So of course, people off the street are not going to come in. Stephen thought this was a big mistake, because you don't know what you might be able to sell the meatballs for. So, what does Gary do? He runs out into the street yelling to anyone and everyone to come get a meatball. Trace freaks out. But finally, the celebrities starting rolling in: Amy Grant comes in with a check for $75,000, Gilbert Godfried $10,000, Valerie Bertanelli $5,000. But the big one was $100,000 check!
For Team Power, they got: some $10,000 donations, but we don't see any real big ones come in.
Piers stops by Team Plan B. Trace put Gary on a mission to distract him. So, he goes through the whole process of how they made the meatballs and put them in the oven. Sin=Self Imposed Nonsense...gotta love Buseyisms.
Paul Teutul, Sr., Celebrity Apprentice alum, stopped by, and John Rich, another CA alum gave $10,000.
The Boardroom
For Team Power, Stephen is said to have raised the least. Trump asks if they lose if Stephen would be fired, and he said "yes." Stephen gets thrown under the bus as he didn't pull out his big guns and was holding back.
Then it's Piers and Omarosa, round 2. Piers said he would have never come back on the show after winning like Bret did, but it seems like he wants to make this whole thing about him! He CANNOT stop talking about Omarosa! Those 2 are like the biggest children! Seriously! Claudia said it best when she said that Piers came into the shop and started whining about her like a little girl. Ha!
The Live! with Kelly and Michael show liked Team Power's meatballs, so they got a $20,000 bonus.
Trump says that combined, they raised more money on a first task than ever before.
Brande's Team Power raised a total of a little over $250,000 (with their $20,000 bonus)
Trace's Team Plan B raised $419,539!
Trace's charity, the American Red Cross gets over $670,000! That's crazy!!!
Boardroom Deliberation with the Losing Team: Team Power
Brande has no idea how much money they raised and has no idea who brought in the least. The panel doesn't think that's very good as the PM not to know those things.
Omarosa continues to talk about nonsense. I don't get that woman at all. If someone like Bret goes before her, it's a travesty. Bret said she was a "wolf in charge of the hen house" because she was in charge of collecting and keeping track of the money.
Piers brings up a very good point. He point blank asked Brande during the task who she would bring back if they lost and she said the 2 people who raised the least amount of money. He finds that very hard to believe since she has no idea who brought in the least amount of money. To her credit, it seems that Omarosa was providing her some inaccurate figures.
Judging by the amount that each person thought they brought in, and adding it all up, they should have won! Ha! Omarosa said the numbers she thought everyone brought in and it was closer than what the others were saying, but she was also over-estimating. Each person clearly thought they brought in more than what Omarosa was saying.
Brande decides to bring back LaToya and Bret. Oh my, you've got to be kidding me. Of course Omarosa probably wouldn't have been the one fired, but for her to get off scot-free is ridiculous. Brande should go.
You're Fired---Bret
That's just wrong! Just because Trump didn't agree with him wanting to come back and saying that it would be very hard to pick him as the winner again. I don't think it's right. Yes Brande raised a ton of money (over $100,000), but she made some very crucial errors: like trusting Omarosa with the money, for one! Poor Bret, it seems that his first choice for his team is what did him in.
