Celebrity Apprentice--The Brett And Cyndi Show

This week's task was for each team to take an aspiring Country Singer and make them over so they can be superstars. Cyndi Lauper takes on the task of being PM, she is, of course, a legend in the music industry, and who would know image better than Cyndi? Rock Solid is down to it's last 3 players, however they have an ace in the hole with Brett Michaels, the lead singer for '80 hard rock group Poison.
When the artists are introduced, they turn out to be established stars. Tenacity gets Emily West, a rather starstruck singer, whose signature song, "Blue Sky" sounds a little like Cyndi's "True Colors", at least in my opinion. The team is squabbling though, Holly is rather hard nosed and unmanageable, and Maria wants more responsibility. Finally, Sharon comes back after being out ill for awhile and seems to bridge some of their disagreements.
Rock Solid gets along real well, the problem is that Brett is not PM. It's Goldberg, who thought that it would be good to step up for the task. He delegates the entire task to Brett. Curtis, the chef has little that he can do, but is always willing to help. The trouble with Rock Solid is that Lucas is unmanagable, he does not take Brett's advice on interviews and does not want to change his image.
Tenacity wins, partly because their singer goes along with Cyndi's advice. Trump does not like the idea that Goldberg volunteered to be PM in a task he was not qualified for and fires him.

Celebrity Apprentice: Strawbery Shortcake



Week 3 of the Celebrity Apprentice. Both Rock Solid and Tenacity are plagued by problem children. Brett Michaels for the men and Cyndi Lauper for the women are misfits Brett is really a good worker, Cyndi is Cyndi, but both are wreaking havoc for their teams by asking silly questions. Not one, not two, but too many. I would not expect to see either of them around for the final, except maybe as entertainment.
This week's task was to create a four page Advertorial for Norton 360 and Lifelock. I had never heard of an advertorial, but could pretty much guess what it is. Neither teams really put their heads into it. Tenacity picked Sharon Osborn as their spokesperson which turned out to be a big mistake as she had to be bleeped during her presentation. What a surprise for someone who cannot string a thought together without a profanity. After a horrible presentation that included a power failure, the women actually won.
In each of the 3 seasons of Celebrity Aprentice, there is one person who decides they really don't want to be there. In this case it's Daryll Strawberry who says that he should be fired. Trump grants him that wish.

Celebrity Apprentice: Kodak Moment


The concept of this week's Celebrity Apprentice is for both teams to create a Kodak display in a storefront. This is really a rehash from the final task from last season, but who could remember that.
Rock Solid picks comedian Sinbad to be it's project manager. Sinbad is a funny guy but seems to have trouble matching his subject to his predicate. He states an idea and it doesn't seem to make sense, at least to me. Tenacity picks Maria, the wrestler. She came up with the idea of using children in her charity, The Make A Wish Foundation to pose in pictures with the celebs on her team. She sticks with her plan and despite power outages generated by printing pictures her concept flies well. The men (Rock Solid) don't use printers but give customers a web site. They seem disorganized and don't hand out the web site to some customers including secret shoppers.
Tenacity wins, so Rock Solid is sent to the boardroom. Sinbad makes a common project manager mistake of sending someone to the boardroom whom Trump feels doesn't belong, in this case Rod the governor. Trump can never seem to get past the fact and fires Sinbad even though he could have just as easily fired last week's winning project manager Brett Michaels.
