Joan and Melissa Rivers split up
NBC Sunday 8/7c 4/05/09
The Celebrity Apprentice night started with a recap of Dennis Rodman's sad firing last week. Donald Trump told Jesse James that he had spoken to Dennis and Dennis said he was going to get help with his drinking problem.
Then Trump shook things up. With the men severely lacking manpower after so many losses, the Donald started shuffling. The final results were:
Athena
Brandy Roderick
Melissa Rivers
Annie Duke
Jesse James
Tionne Watkins
VS
KOTU
Clint Black
Joan Rivers
Natalie Gulbis
Khloe Kardashian
Hershel Walker
Brian McKnight was not available (at least make them clear their schedules for the whole show). Hershel Walker was also missing on a prior engagement for the first day.
The task was to create a viral video for laundry detergent ALL. The keywords were: small and mighty.
Project Managers:
Athena: Melissa Rivers
KOTU: Clint Black
Joan Rivers has made no secret of her dislike for Clint Black. He is passive aggressive and she is loud and aggressive. The two do not mix.
Jesse James had landed himself in a world of women. Careful what you wish for. Jesse wanted bikers for the video. The ladies wanted Jesse James to be bathed by midgets, some how, in the video. He was not going for it.... then he grinned. "As long as they are wearing sparkly bottoms... " Jesse was in.
Clint Black opted for ignoring Joan Rivers and most of his team to make his own video. Joan could not even speak... but she did. The camera spent more time on her and the ladies than whatever PM Clint was off doing.
Athena was definitely a more relaxed atmosphere. Donald Jr. and the officials from ALL were not impressed with their idea of using LPs.
Then the 'cast' walk in for KOTU... an LP. Hmmmmm. As Khloe Kardashian explained, he was to be the 'masterbater'. He was not good. This guy was such a bad actor, he was unbelievable as an LP. They fired him, and moved to plan B.
Plan B turned out to be Clint Black sitting in... so out went the little jokes. (Though Joan Rivers assured us that Clint is small). Joan finally went off. Clint called her resistant to his leadership. He called her insubordinate and said it was grounds for termination. I think Clint is a true man... of few words. You know the ones that demand you be in the car before you know what you are late for.
Clint wound up dismissing the women. He told them there was nothing to do.
The LPs on Athena's team were alright with scrubbing down Jesse James, but were not into the "oompah loompah" type outfits. Jesse was awesome and comical. The whole thing was funny if more than a little (sorry) politically incorrect.
By the time Hershel Walker got back to team KOTU things had gotten worse. Clint Black was now the start of a bad joke. A viral video must be funny. Or at least extraordinary. This did not even look like a chuckle. Hershel Walker came up with the idea of using 'pop-up' dialog boxes to help it along. Clint locked the entire team out of the editing room and said he hoped they took it as an action of good will.
Things just seemed to be going too well for team Athena. Jesse James has women cackling over his antics with the LPs. "Jesse James dirty with midgets" was the name they came up. I'm guessing it will suck. We shall see soon.
Um...they both pretty much sucked. Though I did giggle through the Jesse James beginning. Perez Hilton gave a celebrity review. Perez loved the Jesse James commercial and said that neither appealed to women with children (the focus group).
Why did Clint not write a funny song?
The ALL management like the relaxing atmosphere of the KOTU (Clint) ad, but found the cheating husband factor (added by Clint later) was a bad image. They found Athena's ad offensive from title to ending.
In the boardroom, Clint Black and Joan Rivers went right at each other. The women were on Clint. Hereshel Walker stood behind them nodding. Joan took it and made it very personal. Clint kept it professional. Melissa Rivers jumped in to defend her mom, but also said she can be a pain.
The boardroom was in full agreement that women love Jesse James.
The problem was still the offensiveness.
The executives hated both videos so there was no winner tonight. There would be six coming to the boardroom and two would be fired.
Melissa chose Tionne Watkins and Brandy Roderick.
Clint chose ... Khoe Kardashian and Natalie Gulbis (just to prove to Joan Rivers that he was not being personal.)
Clint also said that he would fall on the sword since he made all the decisions for the project.
Donald Trump laid the hammer down fast. Tionne Watkins volunteered to come to the boardroom and he fired her for it. Melissa felt awful. Trump reminded us all of Branford, one of the original Apprentice contestants who volunteered to come to the boardroom. Trump fired him for the offense immediately.
This was pretty harsh, but maybe taught Tionne Watkins a life lesson (I'm sure she didn't need to learn it in front of all of us, but thanks Trump).
Trump went on to ask the players of KOTU who wanted to go home. Trying to goad them into quitting. Then he went after Khloe Kardashian. She was absent last week due to classes of a DUI charge. Trump was not happy. He went on to say he hates people who drink and drive. Donald Trump said he would have never asked her to be on the show if he knew she was convicted of a DUI and missing time. He donated $20 thousand dollars to her charity and fired her. Hopefully she has to go back to jail. Khloe said she has been "paying for that mistake every single day" as her chauffered car took her to pick up her designer bags and go to the first class waiting area at the airport.
