Normally, I would do a complete recap of the episode, but not this time. I am infuriated at the result of the finale. If you didn't watch, Joan Rivers was declared the Apprentice.

I would love to know how in the world she was better than Annie this season. Until the final task, Joan had brought in NO money. She was the project manager on the FIRST task and never again. When she was the PM, her daughter Melissa did everything for her. The only other task where she did anything was the hotel task and as concierge, she screwed things up left and right. The only other thing she added to the show was her insults and tirades against at least three other contestants in the board room.

I'd like to know how that record made her deserving of being in the final 2, let alone to win the show.

Now, on the final task, she took a lot of credit for what her TEAM did. The only thing Joan did herself was hire a bunch of creepy looking celebrity impersonators. Well, she did one other thing. She offended the event planner that was provided to her so much that he quit. Oh, and his company quit any ties to the show! And she even had the nerve to call Annie Duke a liar when she told Trump what the company told her.

I think in a real situation, any employee of Donald Trump that could act that unprofessionally and makes an event planner quit less than 24 hours before a huge event would NOT be employed anymore. In fact, any employee who acted the horrid way Joan has each week would NOT have their job anymore.

Now, some people say that things ended up being fair since both teams had to scramble to find an alternate way to get their event done. Not really. Joan knew HOURS before Annie did that the planner had quit.

I commend Annie Duke for not stooping to the neanderthal level that Joan did during the season. Annie raised the most money by HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS and excelled as project manager several times. In the tasks where someone else was the PM, she was always one of the hardest working people - even if it wasn't her charity. Notice that Joan only worked hard when it was HER charity that would receive money.

By choosing Joan as the winner, Donald Trump condoned the abysmal behavior of Joan Rivers. She has said that Annie was "worse than Hitler" and has even referred to other poker players as Mafia members! Is that the kind of person you would hire?

So Mr. Trump, was the show fixed? It sure seems that way. In NO WAY should the winner have been decided from ONE TASK. I am sure he picked Joan because she has a more recognizable name and will profit more from Joan winning than Annie. The winner is supposed to be the person who has been the best all season long and deserves to have their charity win the money - not the person who will make Trump the most money.

For that, he has lost me as a viewer.

The task for this week was to create a jingle and a 30-second radio commercial for Chicken of the Sea tuna. Now, I think most people over 30 can remember their jingle - or at least the last line. Something so iconic is hard to replace. The one requirement for the jingle was that it had to include some lyrics from the original.

Right away, Annie and Brande knew they were at a disadvantage - the other team had Grammy-winning Clint Black. Also right away, Clint got his arrogance on and assumed his team would win hands-down.

Right from the beginning, Annie and Brande were struggling. The one thing I think they had over the other team is that they actually listened during the meeting with executives. Clint controlled the other team's meeting but while he asked all the right questions, I'm not sure he actually listened to the answers much. He has the look on his face like he is paying attention but I'm not sure the hamster is running all the way around the wheel in his mind.

I think as the time went by, Annie was able to write a great, catchy jingle that I could easily hear on the radio or in a television commercial. To top it off, Brande made a great commercial and in the end, their presentation was spot on. The best part about the presentation was that they played the jingle a second time and let that be the last thing the executives heard.

On the other side, I think Clint's arrogance got in the way once again. It's his way or .... well, when he is in charge there is only his way. I think he did produce a well-written and well-sung jingle but it was limited in its universal appeal - not everyone like country music. Also, their commercial spot was funny but at the same time, it was very cheesy.

In the end, Annie and Brande won the task! And finally, Clint couldn't escape being fired.

After Clint's (wonderful) firing, the final 4 contestants had "interviews" with last season's winner, Piers Morgan. It was apparent after the interviews that he wasn't fond of Brande or Jesse. Jesse, he said, was very hard to figure out. The strike against Brande was that it seemed she was too much of a follower. Jesse's strike was that he hadn't raised a single penny and he wasn't too willing to use his "celebrity" to raise money or to win a task. Both Jesse and Brande were fired.

That leaves us with Annie Duke and Joan Rivers. I am actually surprised that Joan is in the final 2. She has done NOTHING. She was the PM for only the very first task and since then she has just done a whole lot of whining. She hasn't raised any money whatsoever. The only thing she has done is run her mouth about Annie and Brande and Clint - people who were better than her!

As for Annie - like her or love her, she has been the best participant this season. I'm looking for her to kick Joan's ass.

To be honest, I think Trump chose Joan just see Annie slaughter her.

The first hour of Apprentice was the continuation of the jewelry show task from last week. Of course, they were doing a charity auction of Ivanka Trump's jewelry line. Shocking, huh?

I thought Annie did an awesome job as the auctioneer for Athena and really knew how to work the audience. She knew where the money was and she did anything she could to get it out of them. In fact, she had people fly to NYC from California just to come support her.

On the other hand, Kotu chose to let Clint Black be the auctioneer because he said he'd had experience doing auctions. Why in the world would you not choose Joan Rivers to be the one to run things? Hell, she saved his ass out there when he was floundering and people were falling asleep from boredom in the audience. Also, they had a plan to spend their "war chest" on one cheap item to make the most profit and let the rest go to actual bidders. They started out the first item too high and he refused to go down on the price so it went unsold - which was an insult to Ivanka and the charity of the winner.

In the end, Athena had a profit of $153,000 and Kotu had a profit of $93,000 thanks to that one item having a profit of $77,500. That meant that $245,000 went to Annie's charity which is called Refugees International which helps refugees get started in the US - mainly from Sudan and Congo.

The board room is where the real sparks flew. Joan Rivers decided she would run her mouth again and express her distaste for yet another contestant - this time is was Annie Duke. She even went so far as to compare Annie to Adolf Hitler. Even I was offended by that. Just because Annie is playing the game to win and not to help Melissa Rivers win, Joan hates her. Get over it old woman! If Melissa can't win on her own, she doesn't deserve to!

Thanks to choosing the worst possible pieces for a runway show, Natalie Gulbis was given the ax. Honestly, I was surprised she lasted as long as she did. Also, she was never a Project Manager.

In the second short task, the teams had to make a new, innovative dish for Schwann's LiveSmart line of meals. Athena did something smart in having Annie (who is a very good cook) and Brande make 3 different dishes for everyone to taste. After the tasting, they chose to go with the Turkey Meatballs, gluten-free pasta and Apple Crisp dessert.

Kotu, on the other hand, had some issues choosing a meal. Herschel, the PM, was stuck on doing chicken based solely on its perceived popularity. The problem was that he doesn't eat meat and the company wanted them to do something DIFFERENT. They have tons of chicken dishes. Once they stuck to chicken, Clint said he had a great recipe they make at home. Once he made it, the others wanted to throw it back up. It was too salty from the soy sauce in it. They added orange juice and it was good. So, they made "Asian orange soy chicken" with green beans and sweet potatoes and a yogurt parfait for dessert.

In the end, Athena's was superior in taste and $20,000 would go to Jesse James' charity. Herschel Walker, as Kotu's PM, was dismissed from the competition even though once again, it should have been Clint Black fired.

Well, I must apologize for not having an Apprentice recap for this week. Thanks to the golf tournament coverage on CBS, I missed the first 40 minutes of the show (we don't have cable out here in the country folks).

I can tell you that there were two tasks and Brian McKnight was fired after the first one. The second one started tonight but will finish next week. That one is pitting Joan Rivers vs. Annie Duke. That was enough for Trump to bring in last season's winner Piers Morgan back to keep an eye on things.

I smell drama.

Well we started week 6 with the predictable mixing up of the teams. Honestly, I think Jesse James made out the best by ending up with all women and no longer having to deal with the idiot men. Maybe now he can win a task! I really thought Joan Rivers was going to explode now that Trump finally cut the cord between her and Melissa.


Brian had a concert to perform so he had to miss this week's task and when he returns, Trump will put him on a team. I have to stay the teams still seem a bit one-sided. Kotu got two of the three men and the two women who probably have done the least so far. On the other hand, Athena still has plenty of Melissa vs. Annie drama yet to come.

This week's task was to produce a "viral" video for ALL's new 3x concentrated detergent. For those who don't know what a "viral" video is, it is a video with the shock value or some wow factor that makes me click to watch and then pass to others. The tagline for the product is "small and mighty" so you knew little people were coming! The only requirement for the video was that there needed to be a product pitch somewhere in the video.

From the start, Kotu was in major trouble. Clint came up with the dumbest idea ever and refused to accept that the women were right to not like it. From the moment they expressed their distaste for his concept, he shut the women out. So much so that he ignored them during the filming and even locked them out of the editing room!

The concept? Well it was Clint himself (after he fired the little person they hired for the video) was calling his "mistress" to ask her if she wanted to do the 'dirty laundry' with him that night. The 'dirty laundry' was supposed to be innuendo for sex. When she says she is too busy cleaning her house, he takes the container of ALL into the laundry room to "take care of the need" by himself. At the end of the video, he is shown in the bed while a woman in lingerie offers to 'do the laundry' and he says, "It was a small load. I took care of it myself."

Perhaps the funniest thing (ok, the only funny thing) in their video is when the woman says, "is that all" and Clint replies, "yes, that's all. It's small and mighty!" Obviously he was referring to the product, but it really looked like he was implying that his penis is small and mighty.

Team Athena did a slightly better job. In fact, if it weren't for a few things, they really could have had a great video. Their concept was "Jesse James Dirty With Midgets" and it consisted of Jesse James plugging the product and then being scrubbed down by little people in blue spandex-like suits with yellow wigs. The costumes actually were a nice touch. To a point, their video was funny - and on point.

The problems with their video was that they used the word "midget" and they had profanity at the end of the video. Also, neither team really hit the targeted demographic - women with children. In Athena's defense, when they asked the executives about the target audience, they said the target was women 25 and over - without children.

Needless to say - the executives hated BOTH videos and neither team was declared a winner.

Both project managers - Melissa and Clint - were asked to bring in two people. For Athena, Melissa had asked for volunteers to go in with her since she knew she would take the fall. Only Tionne volunteered and Brande was chosen as the other. For Kotu, Clint chose Khloe and Natalie to come in with him. Like Melissa, Clint had accepted his fate as the reason they failed.

In the end, Trump fired Tionne for volunteering to come into the board room - saving Melissa from being fired. He then fired Khloe because she missed part of the previous task due to flying back to CA to fulfill something for her DUI case. Can we say cop-out??? Clint was an out-of-control tyrant and Melissa should have taken the fall for her team.

But they can bring in more money than the other two. Period. I remember when Trump rewarded those who did a good job and fired those who sucked. Guess that's not what this show is about anymore.

For those who come for my weekly recaps of this show, they may end soon. It's just getting more ridiculous than it was. And now they are contemplating an Apprentice season with celebs and non-celebs mixed together! Like the non-celebs would stand a chance!

This week our teams were given the task of running a hotel for two days. That included running a concierge desk, housekeeping, bellman, room service, etc.

Ok let's be honest here. They had 5 rooms each. This wasn't exactly an ENTIRE hotel.

To start, the teams chose Dennis Rodman and Tionne (aka T-Boz) to be the Project Managers. Am I the only one who predicted doom for the men at this point?

Immediately, the crazy started for the men's team. Well, maybe not right away. I think to start, Dennis actually was doing well as a team leader. He had some great ideas and he did delegate pretty well to the other men. In fact, Dennis thought of doing something even the women didn't - chauffeured cars. More on that in a bit.

The problem for the men was that Dennis started becoming Dennis again - thanks to the Vodka and Cranberry cocktails. For him, that is "instant jackass" punch.

Once again, it didn't really matter who was in charge of the men - it was disorganized chaos yet again. Five minutes before their guests were scheduled to start arriving, they still hadn't finished cleaning their five rooms. To top it off, one guest was already waiting in the "lobby". Also, no amenities had been placed in the guests' rooms. On that subject, how did the men think that putting 5 chocolate chip cookies in the room was good enough?? Haven't these people stayed in some of the better hotels themselves?

On the women's side, it was hard work as usual. Unlike the men's team, the females have several strong candidates for the Apprentice. I was glad to see Tionne as the PM this week as she was one of my favorite contestants when the show began. I actually thought the other women would drown her out and she wouldn't get her chance to shine - but boy did she this week! She is clearly the most organized person on either team and for once, not one woman had something bad to say about their PM.

I think the one thing that really set the women apart in this task - as well as so many others - is that they really think outside the box. They actually think about the little things just as much as they do the larger picture - something the men do not do. The only real issue I had with the women was that at times, they were a bit too eager to please their guests. That caused a number of problems - Joan not telling guests about extra charges, Khloe bringing food an hour too early and them doing a "turn-down" service at 4 pm! Other than those mishaps, despite the extra work they gave themselves - like offering a complimentary breakfast - things actually went quite smoothly for the women.

The men weren't so lucky.

Lack of planning led to many issues - not having reservations ready, no tickets, no amenities, room service issues and the list goes on and on. Oh, and speaking of the amenities - apparently Dennis Rodman as your dinner guest is one of them! That's right - he actually went to dinner with two of the guests! When he came back, he was even more drunk than before. That is when he was asked about the cookies he took five minutes before check-in to get wrapped up by the chef.

He had no idea what cookies! Fortunately, they were able to job his memory and when he returned with the cookies - 10 hours after he was supposed to get them - he began yelling, "Cookies out the Ass!!" to everyone in the lobby. And as he usually does, Dennis left and abandoned his team. While Dennis did actually do some things right, he did a whole lot more wrong. When he returned the next morning, he actually told Clint that he "preferred he not talk to him" and to "go talk to the other black guy". This is why it is so hard to like Dennis.

Obviously, the women won the task by scoring a 91/100 on their guest critiques compared to the men's 86/100. That meant that T-Boz won $20,000 for the Sickle Cell Foundation of Georgia - a disease that she herself suffers from.

I think Jesse said it best in the board room when he mentioned he thought Dennis has a drinking problem. I think of anyone there, he would be the one to understand best as he had a drinking issue in his past as well. I was glad to see that everyone handled things the way they did - with a lot of compassion, even if Dennis didn't see that at the time.

I am sure by now you're already figured out that Dennis was the person to be fired. I do want to say something about him here though - more than just the crazy antics they show on the series.

I think the problem for Dennis is that he is struggling between the person he really is and the persona that people expect from him. He has always been known as an eccentric person and larger than life. I think maybe that over the years it has become harder and harder for him to give the people what they want - someone that he isn't. I think at times we all struggle between who we truly are and what people expect from us. For Dennis, I think alcohol may be the only way he can become that person that people expect - or at least who he thinks people want.

I truly hope Dennis finds a way to come to terms with his inner demons and find the strength to show people who he truly is.

This week the teams left Siberia and flew to Jaipur, India. Once there, the teams encountered many forms of poverty - with none more affected than Luke who began sobbing when he saw children eating out of the garbage.

They also encountered something else - Indian taxi drivers and a whole new kind of traffic.

Teams first task was to get their clue from a man in front of a tree. Tammy and Victor didn't seem to have any trouble finding the clue but other teams searched for several minutes before noticing the telephone next to the man. They had to call one of the numbers on the phone in order to get their clue telling them where to go.

Once the teams finally got there, they found Victor well ahead of them and a whole lot of camels. They had to use traditional tools to move camel feed and water - some weren't real intelligent and ignored all the tools available. From there, the teams had to choose between two detours - movers and shakers. The blondes, however, had to go to their speed bump where they had to use "make-up" to decorate an elephant for a traditional celebration.

Mark and Michael were the only team to choose movers - where they had to ride rickshaws and deliver containers to a market. Once there, they had to search in the containers for a tiny elephant. In the other detour - and more entertaining by far - the teams had to put on "parade clothes and make-up" and dance to earn tips. Come on - who didn't want to see Mel and Mike dancing?

In the end, Tammy and Loser won their second leg of the race and we were finally rid of the Blondes. Just like when Kris and Amanda were U-Turned, Christie and Jodi could not overcome the speed bump and they were sent packing.

Well they promised us a huge Dennis Rodman meltdown. They call that a meltdown? That was tame by Rodman standards.

And next week, there is an intervention?

Oh, the drama.

This week started with Brande delivering her check to the person who oversees the CA Youth services charities. She was lucky to be the PM this past week - she got $166,680 for her charity. They then showed the teams being told that their next task would be to put together an "exciting" presentation for an event to launch a new video telephone. The struggling men's team chose Brian McKnight as PM and the women chose Claudia Jordan.

Right off, the women were in trouble. I've been saying since the premiere that Claudia Jordan doesn't belong there. Come on, her claim to fame is that she opens briefcases on a game show. It was evident the women were not going to do well when the brainstorming session turns into chaos and Melissa Rivers started yapping forever. Claudia basically tells Melissa to shut up and of course Melissa gets all dramatic and bitching that Claudia "attacked her profession". I didn't realize that Claudia was making fun of those E! Red Carpet shows that no one watches.

The men on the other hand had Dennis to deal with. In fact, after his little issue with Clint, Dennis took off. When he came back, McKnight told him to get lost - he didn't want to babysit Dennis. While it appeared the men weren't doing much, they actually had a lot done. Perhaps the most critical part was Jesse James' contribution - which Clint Black said was pointless to waste time on. He better be kissing James' ass for going to West Point to create his vignette. And for a second time, Rodman was told to get lost.

After seeing both presentations, I thought the men had almost nailed it. The only criticism I had was that the dancing women with the phones didn't really show the product well enough. The best part was how great Jesse James' video was - and it brought the emotional component into the presentation. Without that element, the men would surely have lost. The women's was better that it had been in rehearsal - thanks to Melissa Rivers taking charge - but it was kind of boring and as funny as Joan Rivers was, the videos were very cheesy and it took a fake marriage proposal to get the audience excited.

Big shock. The men won. They won 386 votes to 61. What a beat down!

Finally, we can get rid of one of the bitches women.

As predicted, the boardroom turned into a bitch fest between Claudia and Melissa. The funniest thing was when Melissa turned to her mother and said, "Jump in here mother." OMG - Is Joan a Stepford Mother? And on cue, Joan started bad-mouthing Claudia. Um, Joan wasn't even there for the issues Claudia was talking about! Why the hell did they cast both women on this show anyways? Can't the two of them do anything without being attached at the ass?

Did someone tell Melissa that the boardroom is just a biggest dick contest? God - does anyone even care about Melissa or Joan Rivers anyways? I think Andrew Dice Clay is more relevant than those two.

Claudia then brought - surprise! - Melissa back into the board room with her and then also chose Khloe Kardashian - who was completely useless. Khloe was smart and kept her mouth shut for the most part and didn't become the sacrificial lamb. In the end, Claudia was a crappy project manager and she couldn't manage the chaos well enough to pull out the win - so she got the boot.

Thank god. No more Claudia. Boo hoo.

This week's episode started off with Khloe Kardashian, last week's winning PM, presenting her check to her charity. I find it interesting that she chose a drug and alcohol awareness charity considering she had a DUI just last year. She said that she "learned so much" from having been charged with the DUI.

Did she also learn a lot from her 7 minutes in jail? Probably not.

Anyways - this week the task was to take an empty store front and turn it into a bridal gown store. Um, did they really expect the men's team to do well at this? I know last season ended with two men in the final two but couldn't you have made it less obvious that Trump wants a woman to win?

The project mangers were chosen and the women chose Brande Roderick to get credit for the gimme victory. And the men chose Tom Green to head to the slaughter. It's not like the men really wanted to win this task anyway. Losing meant getting rid of Tom.

Some highlights ... well, probably low lights really ...

Khloe Kardashian yelling "guys suck ass" to woo customers to their storefront. Um, was there any doubt about that Khloe?

Herschel Walker used yet another football analogy. Could someone remind him this isn't a football team?

Dennis Rodman got drunk and called in sick. Tom Green was, well, he was Tom Green.

Surprise! The women won. Each time sold about the same number dresses at just over 20 each. But the women won $103,000 to $64,000. What a shock.

Yes, Tom got fired. To be honest, Dennis should have been fired too - but then they wouldn't have had the drama that is in store for us next week! That's right folks - next week is the "Dennis Rodman Meltdown!" From what we already know, he gets in Clint Black's face. Sad thing is, if the men win next week, he would stay. Oh, well that won't happen - the men's team is horrible.

I think episode two of the Celebrity Apprentice was actually much better than the first. For one, I didn't have to listen to Herschel Walker make stupid football references or call Donald Trump, "Coach" like an imbecile. Secondly, we didn't have to watch Andrew Dice Clay prove why he is totally irrelevant. Unfortunately, Joan Rivers hasn't lost her voice yet.

This week's task was one for the nerds out there : comic books. The teams were given the task of creating a comic book super hero for Zappos.com. The super hero was to be used to help brand the website. Um, what do a group of straight men know about shopping for women's clothes? Oh, well they did have Dennis Rodman - not much help there though. For project managers, it was Khloe Kardashian versus Scott Hamilton.

Once again, the men's team was still in disarray - 7 men wanting to be chiefs and no one willing to play follow the leader. On the women's side, none of them would shut up but at least they got some work done. It didn't take them 6 hours to come up with a crappy character like the men. The worst problem for the women seems to be ego - Annie Duke wants to be in charge all the time; Joan Rivers is, well, Joan Rivers; Melissa Rivers is willing to claim credit for other people's ideas. Then men have a more serious problem - stupidity.

The women came up with a character named "Miz Z" who used Z-shaped lightning bolts to turn bad customer service into great service. The guys had a similar concept, except they had a more average looking costume and called the person "EEE". Why the hell would they call a character for Zappos, "EEE"??? The funniest part was that only Tom Green questioned the name. The others were content to allow the name "out of loyalty to the project manager." Stuff like that gets you fired on the show boys.

In the end, Scott Hamilton, Clint Black and Walker tried to paint a picture of Tom Green so awful that Trump would have to fire him. Apparently, they have not watched the show much. The majority of the time the Donald fires the person responsible for the loss, not just who he doesn't like. Hamilton chose Green and Walker to go into the board room with him. He chose Walker because he would just say what he wanted him to say about Green. Hamilton tried to convince Trump that Tom was just there to "perform" and not to win money for charity. Tom Green took offense to that saying that he also survived testicular cancer like Hamilton had. For some reason, he brought up that he had one nut left and to that Hamilton said, "together we're a set!"

After all was said and done, Scott Hamilton was fired for coming up with the stupid name and that was why they lost the task. Should be interesting next week if Tom Green is the project manager for the men. As for the women, I would like Claudia Jordan to be the PM so they can lose and she can be eliminated. Why? Why not?

Well, it is time for the latest edition of Celebrity Apprentice. And just like last season, this season will be more about who can their friends to hand over the most cash and not about who actually is the best executive. When I saw the list of contestants over at Reality TV World, I thought this will be a mess. And I was right. I swear this show should be called Circus of the Irrelevant Stars.

Granted there are a few actual celebrities worth watching on the show : Scott Hamilton, Poker player Annie Duke, Clint Black and TLC group member Tionne "T-Boz" Watkins. Other than that, all I have to say is why????

The rest of the women are : plastic surgery poster grandma Joan Rivers, her annoying daughter Melissa, Deal or No Deal "model" Claudia Jordan, Khloe Kardashian who is famous for knowing a famous person and being in jail for like 10 minutes for DUI, golfer Natalie Gulbis (who I never even noticed in the 2 hour premiere) and Playboy playmate Brande Roderick (who cares??).

The men's team also features : former NFL player Hershel Walker (who has the personality of toast), TV host/actor Tom Green (who you never know which personality has control of that brain), Monster Garage's Jesse James (who declared him a celebrity?), Dennis Rodman (no comment needed), singer Brian McKnight (who seems to think all women in NYC want him) and has-been comedian Andrew Dice Clay.

How many of these people are even celebrities? Maybe Z-list, but certainly not A-list. I mean come on, Claudia Jordan? All she does is open a briefcase in a tight dress. I didn't even know who Jesse James was. And why are they subjecting us to Melissa Rivers and Dennis Rodman? There is a reason these people haven't been on television.

Not surprisingly, Andrew Dice Clay was the first person fired from the show. Hello - he couldn't even suck it up and bake some cupcakes for charity. Why go on a show like this if you really don't care enough about your charity to bake some cupcakes?? Can't wait to see which train wreck implodes next week.
