"The Apprentice"
RudyRules:
Great news, peach. I'm glad he's ok and will be back soon.

cc bb fan, thanks for the info about the Apprentice ratings etc.
I've thought that since The Celeb edition was so great and very well received, perhaps Trump & Burnett should consider having only Celebs from now on and invite one person from a different season...like they did this time with Omarosa.
Or, maybe it'd be better to not invite a regular person and have ONLY celebs. What do you all think?

:-* Hey RudyRules
I'm glad you enjoyed the season as well. That's a great idea or maybe they can give us 2 seasons a year one for the regular Apprentice and one Celebrity edition. I enjoy watching the original one because I find that it's great to see what new and innovative ideas the regular contestants can come up with.
I wonder if Omarosa will return as a villain or maybe they can substitute her with Piers the newly crowned villain or bad guy. I don't know whether he would be willing to do something like that again or can fit it into his schedule but who knows I think he enjoyed the challenge.
On a side note Rudy did you watch Hell's Kitchen because you said you were willing to try watch it.

What does one do laid up in a hospital for 6 days? Why watch Tv shows and write recaps wherever appropriate. NBC was one that was on my hopital cable lineup (the Travel Channel was not), so I saw the 2 hour Celebrity Apprentice finale in its entirety. If only Donald Trump had applied this much class to Kelly vs. Jennifer or Randal vs. Rebecca?
So, it's Good (personified by Trace Adkins) vs. Evil (personified by Piers Morgan) with Trace making his opening statement "I'm gonna kick your ass." HUH? Since when does the Good guy say that? That sounds like a desperate man holding on to the back of his saddle while laid our over the horse's rear end so as to not get thrown off. The charities were the Food Allergy and Anaphylaxis Network and the Fallen Heroes foundation benefitting U.S. and British soldiers wounded in the Iraq War.
Stephen has tried to sell tickets for the event to his contacts, with almost total lack of success. Is he an inside saboteur?
Although he is really pissed at Stephen, Piers is diplomatic by apolgizing to him for having suggested that Stephen did not contribute much to the success of Piers team effort.
Trace has had to find a leg brace for one fo the Back Street boys and a tube of black nail polish. He is really disgusted by having to do the latter. Trace appears to be feeling the pressure.
On to the Auction! There were only a few items that really mattered in the final Piers total of $373,000. Tea with The Duchess of York(Sarah Ferguson) brought $1000,000 from a senionr executive of Cantor Fitzgerald, a large financial industry firm that lost over 700 employees at the World Trade Center on 9/11/2001. They also bid $100,000 for the 2 tickets for Andrew Lloyd Webber's new production in London. Piers pulled off a total coup by having dinner with Ivanka Trump plus $10,000 to spend on diamonds with her personal escort. An in-person bidder was very interested in this this, but he stood no chance against Simon Cowell bidding remotely up to the $100,000 which won it. Trace had a total of $62K. He knew he was being badly beaten up.
Trace won the ticket sales by $38K to $12k(Trace should thank Stephen for his non-selling that is keeping Trace alive).
So everything else goes into a Miscellaneous category. Trump chooses to asks the other 14 contestants, include Gene Simmons live from Tokyo, who he should pick. About 11 unequivocally say Trace. Stephen finally reveals that he was a turncoast since he strongly prefers Trace. Omarosa was given two chances to ask questions or make statements of Piers but she muffed each pitch and lost her chance. But you know what, Trump has already demonstrated his contempt for such public opinion polls so he will completely ignore this one. It's up to Trace to make final statement after he has performed his newest hit single to benefit his charity directly(probably a recgnition in advance that Trace would need the money since he wasn't going to get much out of the formula. Trace emphasizes how her and Piers set the ground rules for both teams to work together to optimize the results for charity, which actually happened. Piers makes his statement as to why he deserves it and he focuses on how much money he has achieved for charity, and how his style is much like that of one Donald Trump, maybe a bit ruthless at times.
With time running out to too much speechifying earlier by others(including Gene Simmons) Trump decides that Piers wins and is the Celebrity Apprentice.
TexasLady:
Thanks Apskip, once again a brilliant synopsis.
I got a little tired of the good vs evil theme which we first started hearing little whispers about a few episodes back then full force when the 2 were chosen as finalists. I thought it was mostly a ploy since when do you worry about being a nice guy in business. Doing the right thing yes, but being nice isn't how I believe The Donald got where he is. :angel:
I'm so glad you are out of the hospital, you were sorely missed. :-*
