Celebrity Apprentice-LifeLock

This is the first time I have ever seen Donald Trump wear a patterned tie. He always wears monochromatic ties and Junior does the same. This segment is for the teams to create an advertisement board centered on Life Lock, you know the company that keeps your identity safe. Brian McKnight and Natalie are chosen as the PM's for this challenge. Natalie as it turns out seems to run things smoothly and calmly and isn't prone to hysterical outburst, but where's the drama or fun in that? Most of this week's episode was a yawner, with the only excitement being that Jesse got puking sick when he and Brandi were sent to the fabricators. Jesse is trying to get the board done while Brandi does what every blond airhead does in a machine shop, flirt with the guys. In the board room, it was Kotu that won the challenge with their funny banner that displayed their celebrity endorsements. Joan's idea of course. Joan is in hysterics because Annie is attempting to throw Melissa under the bus for Brandi and smashes her glass of champagne on the carpet. Typical celebrity fit throwing. Would you ever throw your glass down, not to mention waste good champagne? I would never throw a glass of champagne on my carpet. That would be a three hundred dollar carpet cleaner house call. Who can afford that? Joan anxiously awaits in the hall, but we all knew soft spoken Brian McKnight was exiting. As the Donald said, it seemed his game playing lost some of its punch and he really did want to leave the show. Everyone heads back to the apartment only to be called down to the boardroom for the Donald to announce that they were headed for another challenge. This one is a jewelry auction of Ivanka Trump's collection. Arch rivals, Annie and Joan are pitted against each other in this round. Annie crosses over the line to befriend Brandi much to the face twisting jealousy of Melissa. Melissa tries to tell Annie that she's really good at this challenge, because that's what she does (hello, same line from the previous 5 episodes), but Annie bestows that power on to the golden girl Brandi, because she knows all about beautiful women and you don't Melissa, so there! Poor Melissa, she looked like the homely girl picked last at the school yard pick. That's the way the balance of power sways. Go with whom has the most pull and it looks like Brandi is calling the shots on this one well until she gets into the department store, oh did I mention that she's going to be one of the models herself? Modesty at it's finest. Brandi forgets that it's a challenge, she's so mesmerized by all the beautiful gowns, now it's all about me right? At least Melissa got to pick the jewelry going up against Natalie for the best pieces. I'm sure Melissa has the edge on this one since her mother is a jewelry designer. Now why did Joan let Natalie pick out the jewelry? I know if Joan loses, the Donald will ask her that same question, since Joan designs and sells jewelry. And why did Joan let Clint and Hershel pick the models? Both guys looked like mischievous kids when the models came in. Ok guys close your mouths now!
Annie tells her team point blank that whoever brings in the least money will be on the chopping block. On the other side, poor Natalie is not good at asking her friends to belly up big bucks but comes up with a brilliant idea to find a donor (hey that sounds like some kind of transplant recipient) with deep pockets who is an enemy of Annie Duke to contribute big money against her. Wouldn't that be a tasty turn of events?
With Joan and Annie gunning for each other in this challenge, claws sharpened, the Donald sends in for ammunition and calls on Piers of the infamous Piers and Omorosa duel to oversee the cat fighting. Ah, let the scratching begin!-Single D
