Celebrity Apprentice-Premiere

It's been such a long time, I didn't think the Donald would have another Celebrity Apprentice, but since the last one was so much fun, I guess why not? The only one I care to watch is Joan Rivers and my favorite Scott Hamilton. Who says Ice Skating is not a sport? Like I tell Double D if the sport doesn't involve sequins, chiffon and triple axle, I don't watch it. Don't know of Hershal Walker although I have heard of him, Claudia something, model type, Athena from some reality show family, Annie Duke of poker champ fame, and assorted other Whitman candy sampler of D-lister celebrities. I am fascinated by Joan Rivers, namely because of her millions spent on plastic surgery and proud of it. Her daughter Melissa is also on the show, looks like she is following in mother's footsteps with her own borderline awful plastic surgery. Oh that's not plastic surgery you say? She's just plain homely you say? I guess plastic surgery can't fix homely. Poor thing! At least she's got money! This episode was a cupcake challenge, make, bake and sell cupcakes. I was sorely disappointed with the truck the girls made. They had no vision, no artistic or creative talent. Come on Joan, don't you design jewelry? The truck looked like a bland vanilla white cupcake with a few sprinkles of color, while the guys, headed by Jesse James of Monster Truck, which explains its monster appeal was totally cute, if you can call the guy's cupcake truck cute. They hit the nail on the head by trading on the celebrity advertised on the truck panels, although making the cupcakes was something else. There isn't a baker in the bunch. Comic Tom Green did try to take the lead in the kitchen, but how do you get guys like the mouthy Andrew Dice Clay who kept saying the he's the world most famous comic which explains why the world hasn't seen him in the last 10 years, and Rodman do the thing called labor? Rodman and Dice have never worked a day in their entire lives. Dice says he doesn't bake and tries to hi-tail it out of the kitchen on some bogus I'm going to do a promo spot on XM radio. Yeah right, he's probably going to take a nap and then rag on the Donald some more not having at least a welcome basket of fruit in their digs.
Of course each side has their celebrity friends come up and ante up some big dollars for less than edible cupcakes. The Donald calls and tells each team to bring their best cupcake to some store and the winning team will get $15,000. Melissa takes the chocolate bomb, bomb because the cake failed to rise, but the cupcake baker says to put in chocolate ganauche in the center and all is well in cupcake land. The guys take their vanilla cupcake with sprinkles. Dice says the owner's eyebrows went up when she tasted the guys cake, so that meant she liked it. Little did he know, she was actually choking, because as it turned out the cupcake was inedible. Winner, the chocolate bomb! At least the girls had tasty cupcakes, even though some of the girls were less than tasty, like Ms. Annie Duke who runs the team like she's a quarterback. Hey Annie didn't poker teach you anything, like keep a poker face and not show all your cards? She's not long for the group unless someone else screws up royally.
Round one, women. Hershal had some struggling moments being the project manager, like the inability to tell Dice and Rodman to get working so it was the three of them sent to the boardroom with Dice in the end being sent home because I think and so did the Donald that he really did want to go home after all he is the world's most famous comic! Oh and one more thing, Ivana Trump is still gorgeous!-Single D
