Celebrity Apprentice-A Rodman Intervention

This week was not about the challenge, this week was an intervention, namely a Rodman intervention. What a pathetic excuse of a man. Sure Dennis, you may have been a great basketball star at one time, you may have cause people's heads to turn, you may have fans that adore you and you may have an "alleged" drinking problem. No Dennis, you do have a drinking problem and the way you handle any problem is to slam a few back and then escape the problem by leaving. Is that what you do in life? Leave? He gets all manic when he's drinking and then afterward he gets all angry.

This weeks challenge is to run a hotel under the name of Loews Regency. Each group will have 5 guest rooms which they will have to run like a real hotel right down to room service and maid service. Of course the women have this one in the bag, they are after all women. Who knows best about clean, pampering and "depubing" than women? The PM's for this are Tionne and Dennis Rodman. Whose Tionne again? It's do or die for Dennis. Question is can he remain sober long enough? The decoys, Stephen Baldwin and Vinnie Pastori are sent in as the emissary's of the demanding guest. Right off the bat Vinnie says in true Italian style, I want cannolis and cd's. All Stephen wanted was a room with a view to which Joan counters, you don't want a view, you want privacy. The ladies most demanding guests were the gay guys in room 720. Oh honey, nothing says demanding than a bunch of diva wannabes.

Dennis starts off good with a lot of good ideas, but the moment someone else voices their opinions, Dennis heads for the bar. In fact when Dennis starts drinking, his mind just goes blank. Dennis takes off with one of the guest and accompanies them to dinner (which I'm sure they didn't mind since I'm guessing Dennis picked up the tab). Let's just put it this way, Dennis is a train wreck.

The ladies give it their all trying to please each guest, with Joan as the accommodating concierge and Brande as every man's fantasy french maid.

Props to Anne for shuttling room service. That's hard work. I think all the women got a true appreciation of what it is like to service demanding guest. I don't think the guys learned anything about running a hotel all their attention was focused on Dennis.

In the end, in the boardroom, Jesse was articulate and smart with his assessment of the whole Rodman fiasco. Rodman, like he said, people idolize him, but when they get up close, they're disappointed by what they see. A troubled, confused, lonely man, but as Donald Trump said, a man with a big heart. Yeah, I can see that. What a pity-you're fired!-Single D
