Celebrity Apprentice - Episode 8


In this particularly Trump heavy episode the Gary Busey-less teams were tasked with creating a four-page ad for a hotel collection.  A Trump hotel collection.

Oh and the Trumpster took another chance to push his fake run for President asking the teams if they'd vote for him.  Guess who said they wouldn't???  No one!  It's Trump mofos!  That's why he's such a dick - because no one tells him that he should go suck it and stop ragging on and on about that damn birth certificate.

Anyways, Star Jones took the lead for the ladies this time because she's a pretentious asshole who thinks that she knows everything about luxury and John Rich headed BackBone because, well basically because no one else wanted to do it.

Star starts off with some superegos at war because Nene and La Toya are still being dickheads to each other and refuse to go run errands together.  Nene is pissed because La Toya said she wouldn't call her after the show was over and La Toya is La Toya and doesn't really get what's going on in reality so she's screwed in a pissin' match with Nene and plays her dopey puppy-dog act to get out of her bad graces.  They do make up and that's that.  Star should be President!  No wait...I mean Star should get a medal!

They meet with the execs - who in this case are the sassy and sexy Ivanka with her big ol' brain and some other suit.  They outline the task as a 4 page Trumptacular ad where each ad can stand on it's own.  Oh, and they don't want anything ho-hum or cliche.  They want something fresh and that screams Live the Life.

The ladies go with a trite theme of gals lunching, gals in bathtubs and gals getting presents.  Pretty creative shit!  And the men go with exactly what Ivanka and the other dude said not to go with - a butler-looking fool with a towel on his arm, a couple of hotel shots and a Hell of a lot of copy.

Meatloaf is charged with shooting the pics, John Rich is in charge of copy and Lil' Jon is putting it all together.  But here's a twist...John Rich and Lil' Jon are best friends now!  Isn't that nice?  Buddies!  As far as they seem to be concerned Meatloaf is the new Busey so his days are numbered.

On ASAP, Star is in charge of everything and nothing at the same time.  See that's how a smart lawyer rolls, yo!  This way if one shoot is the problem she can blame Nene or Hope or whoever was doing that shot...

Nene and Star get into it a bit when Star doesn't give her much time to do her Playmate bathtub shot because Nene and La Toya were late coming back from errands.  Don't fuck with Nene!

Cut to the presentations - The men are pretty good here.  They do a nice job incorporating personal experiences with highlighting the luxury of Trump's hotels.  The women are...not so good.

Star gets it in her head that they are putting on a damn show and though she does most of the talking - she lets the women each say words intermittedly throughout like elegance and luxurious.  It's super weird and pretty lame.  As La Toya says in interview - Corny.

Trump meets with the execs and we head to the boardroom.

SPOILER ALERT.

The teams check out each other's ads.  The women made some mess of cluttered pictures and words which one exec compared to an ad for a strip joint or something and the men had their simple images and massive copy to show off. 

Trump reveals that there really was no winner!  They both pretty much lost because of the general crappiness of the ads!  Oh Snap!  Trump has to pick a winner though so with the execs he picks the men...go Team BackBone!

Star is shocked!  Not since Barbara Walters told her to fuck off or whatever on The View has she been so shocked!

Trump starts in on the ladies and they go at it - Nene and La Toya blame Star, Marlee blames La Toya and Hope sits there looking hot and vapid.  Nene also takes this opportunity to tell Trump that everyone kisses Star's ass much to Marlee's shock.  I have to admit though La Toya is quiet and Hope looks like she's afraid Star is going to eat her half the time I don't think they're kissing her ass.  I think they're afraid of her.

Star chooses La Toya and Nene to come back in with her to face The Donald and when he questions her about the choice of Nene - Star basically cops to wanting to get La Toya out and the fact that Nene and her are team Screw La Toya.  And it works.  Trump just can't seem to see little La Toya (who has laryngitis at this point no less) being strong enough to go forward and fires her.

La Toya does hug Nene on the way out so it does in fact appear like they may be friends after...yeah, and Star lost all that weight by doing yoga...yeah right.

I miss Gary.
