Previously on The Celebrity Apprentice, the teams had to design a fashion show featuring Ivanka Trump's line of jewelry. Piers Morgan from last season came back on the show, and tonight, two celebrities will be fired.

Tonight's episode opens in the board room. The remaining celebrities are making idle chit chat when Ivanka and Piers Morgan walk in. Piers is intensely and Britishly disappointed that the apprentices aren't working busily.


Piers and Ivanka pay a visit to Brande Roderick and Melissa Rivers, and they immediately set about slowing smoke up Piers' ass. As soon as he leaves, Melissa scrambles, making calls and working. Brande is all, "Why didn't she start doing this hours ago?"

Annie Duke gets a call from one of her friends, who happens to be Phil Hellmuth, and learns that Natalie Gulbis managed to finagle a donation from one of Annie's team. Annie is livid about this and gets on the phone with that wayward friend and rips him a new one. Joan can hear the fight through the wall, but she tries not to pay any mind to Annie. After manually reaming Phil, Annie goes and personally bitches out Natalie to her face. It turns out that Phil is going to pull his donation or something.

The next day, everyone is getting ready for the jewelry fashion show, and Melissa works really hard in selecting the jewelry to feature. Anne kind of pats her on the head for a job well done, but to the camera, Annie's all, "Whatever, bitch, it's about the money." Over at KOTU, the dudes count out the money and pick out the cheapest jewelry in order to have the highest possible profit margin.

The fashion show is about to start. Team Athena goes first and Annie Duke takes the mic. She opens the bidding at $15,000, and it looks like it's starting slow. The bids pick up, but it seems to be only Annie's personal friends doing the bidding. The first piece is sold for $25,000. Annie starts the next piece at $30,000. She learns where the truly deep pockets are and works them until they crumble. Brande models the third piece, and Annie gets on her kneels, feigning fellatio with the mic, to get the piece sold for $50,000. She and her teammates are ecstatic with her ability to take money from people.

The KOTU team strategically start the bidding for the cheapo pieces at way above their cost. Clint Black is the auctioneer, and he flails. Crashes and burns, actually. He starts the bidding for a set of rings at $20,000, but nobody bites. It's actually quite painful to watch. Eventually, he has to move on to the next item without selling the first. Piers considers the whole debacle an insult to the Donald and to Ivanka.
