Celebrity Apprentice: Busey’s in Charge and Niki Taylor Takes the Fall

Another night of drama on the Celebrity Apprentice tonight. I tell you, the only thing missing this season is Charlie Sheen to be a real “WINNER.” I’m willing to bet Trump has talked to Crazy, I mean Charlie about joining (even half way in) just for the ratings and rantings. Can you imagine a team with Charlie Sheen and Gary Busey?

The task tonight was to create a camping experience in the middle of NYC for Camping World.

The Project Managers were Niki Taylor and …. Gary Busey  *cue the dramatic music* dum, dum dummm!

Neither team really had any clue what they were supposed to do on the task. Both PM’s were happy to let their teams basically run themselves. This provided for a lot of entertainment and very little work.


The men of Backbone decided to let Gary Busey run the show since he and Meatloaf nearly got into it after the last task when Meatloaf told Donald Trump that Gary was hard to work with due to his lack of focus. Ya think? Gary took Meatloaf aside after the task to question him and there was nearly a battle of crazies right there while drinking champagne.

We did learn a few lessons tonight on Celebrity Apprentice:
1. Gary Busey can make any word an acronym… and he does so all the time. (LUCKY= Living Under Correct Knowledge Yearly)

2. Star Jones should never ever wear stirrup pants.

3. Supermodels don’t know what century they are living in, but they do know how long one lasts.

4. Dionne Warwick is just a nasty old lady. Tonight she called Niki Taylor a “hussy” for no reason.

5. Jose Canseco is the laziest “celebrity” ever on Celebrity Apprentice.

6. Do not bash country music fans in front of John Rich. He’s going to sing a country song on every episode and he’s willing to take on very large men to do so if he has to.

When it came to the visits from Ivanka Trump tonight, Jose Canseco did not even stand up to greet her. He refused to do anything but play catch with Gary while the rest of the team ran around trying to figure out what they were doing. It was like a comedy of errors that somehow worked.

Oddly enough, LaToya Jackson stepped up tonight in a professional manner. She showed the rep from Camping World around their display and was quite knowledgeable about the brand and products on the extremely expensive RVs. 

By the time the two teams got to the boardroom it was obvious there was no real winner here… oh, where is Charlie Sheen when you need him most?

When Donald Trump asked Niki Taylor if she thought her team won she gave a weak, “I’m not sure” kind of answer. That never goes over well with The Donald. He’ll bash you for being over confident, but he’ll massacre you for having none. Marlee Matlin turned out to be the star of the boardroom tonight.

When it came to the men’s team, they did not hold back their dislike of Gary Busey as a leader. Despite Donald Trump’s constantly calling Busey a genius (seriously?) the men would not relent. Lil’ Jon and Gary are going to come to blows at some point this season. This was the most vocal the rapper has ever been in the boardroom.

Gary Busey then went on to say that he felt there was an alliance forming against him on the men’s team. He said that last week and before he could not really hear them, but Marlee Matlin set him up with a hearing doctor who fitted him with a hearing aid for each ear. “I can hear my toenails growing now, “ said Busey. He really thanked Marlee and said what a great person she is for coming to him and helping.

Ivanka Trump asked Jose about his lack of excitement on this task. Jose said he was just on a five minute break when she came around. No, it appeared Jose took this entire task off. The camera showed him consistently doing nothing.

When the dust and cussing finally cleared, the men were pronounced the winners of the task. That’s right, Gary Busey “led” his team to victory. Take that! Actually the real winners are those at The Center for Head Injury Services, Busey’s charity. In 1988 Busey suffered brain damage after a severe head injury in a motorcycle accident. The people at the center nursed him back to health. He will present them with a check for $40,000 next week at the beginning of the Celebrity Apprentice.

Once the men cleared the boardroom, still squabbling over the task and lack of leadership, the women were left for someone to get fired. Niki Taylor immediately fell on her sword. She told Donald Trump she could not blame anyone but herself as the project manager for the failure of the team. Taylor said she could go through the charade of calling two back in with her, but there was really no reason.

Donald Trump admired Niki’s honesty and integrity for not throwing anyone under the bus. I think he was more than a little surprised that there would be no more drama though. I was actually just as impressed with Niki Taylor for standing up. Trump fired her unceremoniously. Her team actually rallied around her, and I think they all had a little more respect for her… even if they felt she was a weak leader. Hopefully next week we can see the demise of Dionne Warwick on the Celebrity Apprentice. That woman needs to be taken down off her high horse.

See you next week for another dose of hilarious drama on Celebrity Apprentice! If you missed any of the earlier episodes this season you can catch up here:
