Gary Busey’s team keeps winning in spite of him, so Trump is being given few opportunities to fire him, which he’s squandering anyway. In All Star Celebrity Apprentice Episode 8, Brande Roderick was the latest victim to fall to Penn’s winning streak.
It’s 3 against 3 now, which Lisa views as putting her team saddled with Gary at a disadvantage.
Ivanka and Joan Rivers (perhaps the worst winner ever) are the advisors for this week. The task is apparently to create a video for LG (electronics, mobile, and appliances). They will be judged on creativity, integration of product knowledge, and overall presentation. Lil Jon and Gary are the project managers.
Gary doesn’t understand any of what’s going on, and he doesn’t want to try either. When he goes to another planet, he usually takes instructions with him.
Penn and Lisa attempt to pitch some ideas, but Gary doesn’t want to hear any of it. Then he starts barking like a dog. This is a trainwreck waiting to happen.
While Gary talks about LG making mechanical dogs, Trace and Marilu propose a video that shows that the products are so easy to use that anybody can use them. The mom (Marilu) will be showing her college kids how to operate her new gadgets.
Joan criticizes Lil Jon for wasting time when he’s directing the video. She wants him to just get it done and stop worrying about quality.
Meanwhile, Gary is telling his actors (both wife and daughter are about the same age) about his out of body experiences. Then he says Lisa used to be as smart as a bag of hair.
Lisa reads what LG wants: a sense of warm optimism, confidence, and a sophisticated premium quality tone. No chance of that. They’ve made multiple attempts to talk to and help Gary, but he keeps snapping at them. The other team seems to be doing a really good job, but it doesn’t matter when they have no competition.
Regardless of the outcome of the task, each charity will be receiving a full suite of LG Smart products, for a total value of over $100,000.
Trace thought Lil Jon was great, but if they lose, it should be the project manager going home.
Gary felt abandoned, which he should have felt, and was pretty much by his design. He would fire Lisa because she yelled and was confrontational, which she dismisses as incorrect. Penn counters that Lisa was never allowed to give any input throughout the day.
Joan and Donald are both confused by Gary’s video. After seeing both videos, Gary says it looks even.
They’re not even going to bother drawing this out any further by telling us the pros and cons of both presentations because there is no contest. Lil Jon has won $40,000 for his charity, American Diabetes Association, plus up to an additional $35,000 at $1 per view of his team’s video.
Now we get to hear the positives and negatives about Gary’s team. The executive liked that they all seemed very authentic and that Penn said he’s an early adopter, their target demographic. The phone was prominently featured, but most of the other products were not. He also did not like or understand the mechanical dog.
Gary accepts responsibility for the dog, though he says the problem is that he did not have any support for the dog (because it as a dumb idea). He then proceeds to say Lisa yelled, but Lisa said she does not and did not yell. So then Gary starts yelling.
So now we’re just going to keep going around in circles for the next 10 minutes. Trump, just put Gary out of his misery already, which should have happened long ago or at the very least when Stephen Baldwin was dismissed.
After much needless discussion, Gary has finally been fired.
