Last week on
The Celebrity Apprentice our celebrities ran 5 rooms in the Loews Regency Hotel. Dennis Rodman took over as project manager for the men and managed to walk out on his team. When the women won their third challenge, Donald Trump was forced to fire Rodman.
Right after the boardroom, all the contestants discuss Dennis departure and drinking problems. Hershel Walker notes that there are only four men left but maybe without Dennis’ antics, they’ll be able to win.
Tionne Watkins gives her check to Phil Oliver, the founder of the Sickle Cell Foundation of Georgia. She’s the national spokesperson for Sickle Cell disease.
Donald Trump announces that he’s going to switch up the teams. Kotu will be Joan Rivers, Natalie Gulbis, Khloe Kardashian, Hershel Walker, and Clint Black. Athena will be Jesse James, Melissa Rivers, Annie Duke, Tionne Watkins and Brande Roderick. Brian McKnight is currently missing at a concert so Donald announces he’ll decide where Brian goes when he returns.
In this week’s challenge, each team will be responsible for producing a video to advertise All Small and Mighty Detergent. The goal is to make a sixty-second viral video. They will be judged on three criteria: Originality, Buzzworthyness, and Branding. Melissa Rivers will be project manager for Athena. Clint Black will be project manager for Kotu.
On team Athena, Jesse comes up with an idea about Brande Roderick being some biker’s wife. Annie Duke comes up with an idea about Jesse James being bathed by midgets and he refuses to do it. On team Kotu, Clint Black comes up with an idea to turn the video into a dirty joke about doing laundry.
When Kotu meets with the executives, things become really awkward really fast. It’s obvious the All executives and much more conservative than they originally thought. Khloe Kardashian notes that Clint’s idea might be too distasteful to use. Natalie Gulbis recommends that they go in a different direction. Joan Rivers just starts throwing out a ton of ideas but none of them stick. Clint Black just decides that they are going to stick to their original idea.
Back at Athena, everyone’s stuck on the midgets bathing Jesse idea. He finally agrees to do it. Melissa Rivers sends Tionne and Annie to go grab props so that she can give Jesse a breather from Annie.
Clint Black is full steam ahead on his idea. Joan Rivers, Natalie Gulbis and Khloe Kardashian all hate the idea now but no one but Joan will speak up.
Little Donny Jr. comes by to check up on Athena. When they tell him their idea, he questions them. The unattractive Trump doesn’t seem like he has a good sense of humor. The actors show up during their meeting and Donny asks them what they think of the idea. They just say it’s better than being an oompa loompa.
At Kotu, their small person actor shows up and is a kind of creepy looking and he’s not a great actor. They decide to let him go. Clint doesn’t really fire him. Instead, he just tells him that he’s done. Over on Athena, Annie calls up Melissa over and over again. Even though she’s not the leader, she’s obviously trying to exert her leadership.
Clint Black decides to make himself the star of the video. Joan Rivers demands to know what the plan is but Clint ignores her. Joan finally loses it and points out that Clint is making all the decisions and leaving the rest of his team out. Clint Black claims she’s being insubordinate and she deserves to be fired. She finally stops yelling and he explains that he’s going to be the star and one of the ladies will be the female star. Then a model shows up to play the wife. The women have nothing to do so Joan decides to take a nap. Hershel calls Khloe and she tells him they are completely in the dark.
At Athena, one of the little people actors hates the outfits. He claims it’s not much better than an oompa loomp outfit. They start filming the video and it’s strange to me that Jesse’s wearing all his clothes while the little people are cleaning him.
Hershel shows up the same time Ivanka comes over. Khloe explains the concept to the pretty trump and Hershel Walker and they both think it’s offensive and that it doesn’t work without the midget. They are all very frank with Ivanka about how angry they are at Clint. Hershel just doesn’t get it.
The next day, Kotu goes over to the editing room and Hershel recommends that they add thought bubbles to the video. Clint doesn’t seem to like the idea at all. Clint Black actually locks the rest of his team out of the editing room. At Athena, everyone’s on the same page and they love their video. Brande notes that if they lose, it’ll be because the executives wanted something more conservative. Melissa notes that if they lose, she’ll take the bullet for them because they all did great. Conversely, after she gets in another argument with him, Clint blames the failure of the task on Joan in a confessional. Joan tells Clint that she thinks he’s very nice but she never wants to see him again after the competition.
