What happened on this week's Celebrity Apprentice?
After last week's dismissal of Lisa Rinna, this season continues the trend of having the losing team's project manager automatically fired. Yes, the project manager is in charge but with all great ideas and effective leadership if your team is not productive, can all the blame be place on the leader?
This week's task is to promote Camping World who brought a few RVs right in the middle of Manhattan for each team to create displays for and market to consumers. With the track record that the losing project manager goes home, most of the competitors do not want that position citing that they do not know anything about camping. Both Nene Leakes and Lil' Jon stated that black people don't go camping. This is true. I never understood with all that modern technology has provided us, why people choose to go outside to get bit by bugs in the middle of the night.
Gary Busey is chosen as team leader for the men's group Backbone while supermodel Niki Taylor leads the women's team ASAP. My bet is already on Niki to be sent home unless the women can make a major victory.
Gary mismanages the team's funds and does not have any left over for deliveries. Mark McGrath gets them to deliver it for free (perhaps because it's for the Celebrity Apprentice). Jose Conseco is often seen sitting down in the RV and not participating. When Ivanka Trump visits the men's RV, Gary gives her some Dalai Lama type talk with spiritual quotes and ascronym. He gives her acronyms for LUCKY = Living Under Correct Knowledge Yearly and FREEDOM = Facing Real Exciting Energy Developing Outer Miracles. Ivanka gives him a blank stare. I hope Gary makes it to the end just to entertain us.
Nene and Star Jones have not come to blows as yet as hinted in their pre-season promotion for this season when Nene stated on the Wendy Williams show that she "wouldn't spit on Star if she were on fire". The pair is still cordial but Nene notes that Star can't help but act like she is project manager although she is not. Dionne Warwick does do much of anything and seems to have been smoking the same crack Whitney was (or still on because I'm not convinced that Whitney is clean). The produces knew what they were doing by putting two very outspoken Black women in the show: cat fight in the making.
On presentation day, Latoya Jackson outshines the rest of the pack and gives an outstanding and informative tour of the RV sounding like as seasoned sales person. Neither team really nails it but it was just a matter of picking who which team was the worst. In the boardroom when both teams are asked if they won, Niki does not sound confident in her team and said she's not sure. Donald says that is not a good sign. Star realizes Niki's mistake and says she is positive they won, Niki was a great project manager and there was no drama this time. But the men's team won.
So now the blame is put on Niki while Marlee Matlin calls Dionne out on not being a good teammate. It is hilarious watching her agree with her interpreter as people want to argue with the interpreter and he promptly states hey I'm just the interpreter. In the end, Niki is fired and she does not put up much of a fight.
Overall, I am getting tired of the losing project manager taking responsibility and getting fired. Can someone stand up for themselves and put their teammates out to dry?
