Celebrity Apprentice-Quizno's Sammie

Doesn't those Quiznos sammies look delicious? When Trump said that their next challenge would be to create an original Quiznos Sammie, I was like I could do that. Anything involving food and eating, I'm there. Trace steps up to be the PM for this challenge. I'm wondering why he hasn't been PM before this. He has been so dynamic and such a creative force for his team. I was really hoping he would be able to pull this one off, but being a man down, Baldwin and Trace have their work cut out for them. Trace immediately comes up with the Cowboy Club which somehow transforms itself later on to become the Prime Rib Cowboy Sammie with about 26 ingredients. I loved it how Baldwin predicted that the other team would probably use Lennox and something about a champ as their hook line and sure enough Piers comes up with Champ Sammie. They smartly ask the store which sammie is their biggest seller which was the turkey swiss sammie, so they change out the cheese to cheddar and keep it simple.
Instead of being able to call their contacts, they have to sell as many sammies for $2.00 in 2 hours. Carol was put in charge of getting flyers printed and delivered and for a moment it looked like she would not come through much to Piers delight. Piers gets a sampling of NY rudeness as he says that New Yorkers are wonderfully rude.
It took a few minutes before both teams were able to warm up to the challenge and are finally able to hawk their sammies. Baldwin looked perfectly at home in his Quiznos outfit, running the fast food store and probably should look into becoming a manager or something if his movie career stalls (does he have a movie career?). I loved it when Ivanka stops by outside the Quiznos and you could see all the suits inside checking her out, stop drooling you fools!
In the boardroom the final count of sammies sold, Lennox 313 and Trace 253. Poor Trace, you could tell he was so disappointed that he lost. He had a frozen frown on his face :( His charity was for children's food allergy. I didn't know that food allergy was in crisis but I guess it is. He explained that his daughter has food allergies and it is difficult for them and that's why he was doing the show. Speaking of food allergies, I heard of this little girl who was allergic to of all things, water! Poor thing, she's unable to drink or bathe.
Trump had a difficult decision on who he should fire, Trace or Baldwin. There was an air of restrained politeness on who should be fired, but in the end, it did look like Baldwin has lost his steam after the last few challenges and has not produce any money for his team. What happened Baldwin, has Piers stolen your thunder?
When Baldwin and Trace went out of the boardroom, Stephen sat like a small child and said that I think they like you more than me. He looked at that moment very small and dejected. The choo choo has finally lost its steam. No more weasely laugh, no more sparklely dough eyes. Back in the boardroom, Trump asked Ivanka who he should fire, and Ivanka on the spot said Baldwin for his lack of generating money for his team. So in the end, Trump fired Baldwin. I thought for sure Baldwin would have been one of the final two, but in the end, he could not stand up to that tall quiet creative man in the cowboy hat. Speaking of which, doesn't Trace look fabulous in that cowboy hat and suit?
This episode carried the cliffhanger, the final (Lennox, Carol, Piers, and Trace) four are summoned back into the boardroom, where Trump will fire two more. I'm thinking, the two left standing will be Piers and Carol, but we'll have to wait until next week to see the double firing-Single D
