This week on the Celebrity Apprentice, the guys were all starting to point fingers at each other and argue because they have lost every challenge so far. A lot of them thought that Dennis Rodman hadn’t carried his share of the work so far and he got angry at the accusations.
The teams were told that they would have to help launch a new line of video phones. KOTU chose Brian McKnight for the project manager for this task and Athena chose Claudia Jordan for theirs. They all knew that the task was to stage an event for 500 of the company’s salespeople and whichever team got more votes from them as having the best event would win. The winning PM would get $20,000 for their charity.
Dennis didn’t even want to participate in anything his team was doing. All of a sudden, Dennis started trash talking Clint Black and got very loud and belligerent. Then he took off his microphone pack and threw it on the floor as he walked out. It looks like he quit. WTF??
This week’s task is very different than some of the previous ones in that they don’t have to call contacts and raise cash in the form of sales. This time, it’s about making the best event that will get the votes from the sales people.
The men’s team was a train wreck. Brian did all the plans and didn’t delegate anything to Clint or the others. He said that it wasn’t a democracy, it was a dictatorship. Yikes!
The women were organized and on top of things at first, as always. Don Trump Jr. came into their office and they all joked about how bad the blowup with Dennis had been that morning. But as the task went on, the others were thinking that Claudia wasn’t doing a very good job of leading. Melissa Rivers started to try to take over and Claudia got annoyed with her.
Later, during the planning day, Dennis Rodman showed up and said that he had not quit the competition. Brian said that he didn’t need him and he could wait downstairs if he wanted. Dennis said that people always targeted him. (Hmmm… Didn’t we see him act unreasonable…?)
Dennis offered to get the technical equipment without charging the team, but Brian turned him down. Ivanka Trump thought they should suck it up and just give Dennis some things to do to be a part of the team.
The guys went up to West Point to help get material for their presentation. Jesse James, who is one of the quiet, but strong creative guys on KOTU was in charge of the video shoot. Meanwhile, the girls had a baby who wouldn’t cooperate for theirs.
Dennis told Clint that he had just had a bad day and took it out on him. (I guess that’s an apology.) Clint asked him if he would still take him out to gay bars and he said that he’d take him anywhere. LOL!
Under Claudia’s guidance (or lack thereof) the girls were having no end of problems and all Claudia did was complain about the others. Then Melissa stepped up and started to direct things. Finally, they started to go the way they needed to.
Finally it was time for the presentations and the women’s was really great. Joan Rivers was amazing and Brande Roderick got a live proposal from her “boyfriend” that brought the crowd to their feet.
The men’s presentation started with laser lights, dancers and Clint Black introducing the video Jesse shot & edited. Then Brian McKnight performed. The crowd enjoyed the concert, but only the video was connected to the phone.

In the Board Room, Brian said that Dennis needed a babysitter. Then they all discussed Dennis’ outburst that morning. No one seemed to know why it happened. Brian also said that he took responsibility for the win or the loss.
Claudia said that Joan Rivers was the star of their team and that Melissa was a problem. Annie Duke said that the problems were because of Claudia. Joan spoke up and said that Claudia was the weakest link on the team.
For the first time, the men won a challenge and they did it by a vote of 85%. WOW! It’s about time they pulled on out. They were about to be down to only a couple of guys soon.
Claudia chose to bring Melissa & Khloe back in with her to the board room. After lots of harsh words, Trump fired Claudia. I think he made the absolute correct decision. Claudia was very negative and not a good leader at all.
So who do you think should have been fired? Who do you like the best so far? And what do you think of the drama with Dennis? Let us know!
Donald Trump has become the ‘poison’ of employees in America. To condone an evident continual male drinker during the show and for many episodes and then ‘fire’ one whose past was diligently being addressed?! is unAmerican. Donald Trump has evidently become ‘publicly’ the MADOFF of the unacceptable AMERICAN CORPORATE WORLD. Americans do not want someone like Donald Trump who is Sexist, he ‘LOVES’ Brandy, no matter what; he is Unintelligent to see ‘true talent’ like the Rivers, Mother and Daughter; and it is evident that he brought Pierce Brosnan to ‘help’ Donald ‘get rid of these ‘precious and most intelligent women’. A very shameful ACT – totally un-American.
Donald Trump belongs in the ‘OLD AMERICA’ of these past years, years who brought us to be ashamed of being AMERICANS.
Someone who is REAL and cares about PEOPLE. HE IS THE CEO OF AN ENORMOUS CORPORATION.
Donald Trump, YOU ARE FIRED! LIKE BERNIE MADOFF who did not care about people!
