After being stomped by Penn in All Star Celebrity Apprentice Episode 10, Marilu was fired for leading the losing team.
Trump immediately calls them back into the boardroom. Two people will be fired.
Trace was the highest fundraiser, 2-0 as project manager, and was doing great until he ended up on Power, where his net result ended as 5-5. Lil Jon, the last Power member standing, I assume has the worst record, and he was 1-1 as project manager. Lisa is the second highest earner. Penn says he was the second in command to Lisa and Trace when they did so well.
One person from each team is being fired right now. Harsh. I don’t think Lisa or Penn did anything wrong to warrant being fired.
Lil Jon would fire Lisa because he’s seen Penn do a lot. Trace would fire Lisa as well since Penn is a bigger gun for the last task. Trump agrees that Penn has been the star, and Lisa has been fired.
Penn would fire Lil Jon, who he has not worked with, acknowledging that he doesn’t really have a fair answer to the question. He thinks Trace’s biggest/only weakness is that he occasionally fades.
Trace’s record is far superior to Lil Jon’s. That said, for the second time, Trace advances to the final two, and Lil Jon has been fired. Lil Jon receives an additional $20,000 for his charity, American Diabetes Association.
Their task is to create a unique flavor of Walgreens ice cream, for which they will design the packaging, create a promotional video, and sell up to 50 tickets for a VIP event. They will be judged based on ice cream flavor, brand messaging and creativity, overall presentation, and additional money raised through ticket sales.
Trump has picked the final teams for them. Trace has been reunited with Lil Jon, and he also gets Gary Busey and Marilu. Penn is reunited with Lisa, and he also gets La Toya and Dennis Rodman.
Each team will have to pick to different ice cream flavors, and they will decide the final product based on what the public likes. Trace picks maple macadamia after it wins the public approval 9:1. Penn’s team, already loving the name vanilla chocolate magic swirtle, has that reinforced by the public vote. Now that they’ve made their decision, Penn starts to second guess the name.
Joan Rivers worries that Trace does not have as impressive a rolodex as Penn does. Speaking of which, Penn already has Wayne Newton… probably.
Penn has a simple commercial that writes itself: Penn & Teller and showgirls. Trace will have Gary dancing in hopes of it going viral.
The best selling ice cream between the two flavors this week will win $100,000 for the charity of the project manager who created it.
As we get into the end of the show, this is where we always get a “dramatic” cliffhanger heading into the to be continued for next week. Penn’s team is 9 seconds over their 60 second commercial allotment. That’s the best they could do as a cliffhanger?
