Scott Hamilton Takes A Spill In Celebrity Apprentice


There is nothing that puts the "fun" in dysfunctional like the Celebrity Apprentice. Two teams made up of celebrities who were put together solely because of the fact that none of those people would ever want to spend 10 minutes with each other. Since a well-run cohesive group in this genre equals boring TV, we have this cacophony of celebs with no tie what so ever with one another. The upside is that the winnings go to charity, with times as hard as they have been, they may have to crank out a few more of these shows just to take care of all the needy people including some of Trump's less fortunate investors.
In this week's episode, the task is to develop a cartoon character to sell for online shoe retailer Zappos. The CEO says that his company is fun loving and a great place to work, although his demeanor sort of suggests otherwise.
The KOTU team is lead by Olympic Figure Skater Scott Hamilton. The Athena team picks Khloe Kardashian for it's Project Manager, khloe, I think, is on the team because Kardashian is a popular name in reality Tv. Tom Green, unlike Dennis Rodman and the now fired Andrew Dice Clay, contributes and wants to win, the trouble is, he is clearly an out of the box thinker and expresses his ideas out loud.
On the women's side, Kardashian is a crummy leader and poker player Annie Duke takes the lead. She ruffles feathers by not picking Joan Rivers to come up with a script. Messaging egos is not Duke's strong point.
Scott Hamilton comes up with a character named E, Green says that it should be something starting with Z. Hamilton tells Green to butt out and Hershel Walker tells him to shut up. When it comes to petty squabbling, it is a draw between the two sides.
Although Athena's presentation is terrible with the beautiful but ailing Claudia Jordan stumbling in places, it beats KOTU. Scott Hamilton only wants to take Tom Green into the board room, Trump however, suggests that he bring 2 people in to increase his odds of staying on. Dennis Rodman would have been a great choice, but he picks Hershel Walker. Hamilton knows that Walker cannot stand Green, it turns out to be Hamilton's last bad decision on this show as he is fired.
