Beauty and the Geek 5 Episode 3

The girls were quickly divided into those who happen to be there to learn something and those who think flirting will get them somewhere in Beauty and the Geek 5 Episode 2. The flirting side scored a point, and Amber was sent home, cutting her “romance” with Tom short.

Tom believes he’s going to be dating Amber when he leaves. Not if she has anything to say about it.

Each team must pick one member of their team to go over to the other side. Jillian volunteers to go over to the geek team. Chris also volunteers to be traded. If their team loses, they’re automatically going home. So one of them will be booted no matter what. No, this is lame and stupid.

The challenge is a sporty one. So who does this favor? A couple of the girls are fit, but the rest are merely shapely thanks to genetics. One of the geeks is surprisingly bu-uff, but most aren’t very sporty. It turns out they’re playing flag football. Not a lot of happy faces on either side. Joe tries to confuse everybody with a bunch of excessive terminology. Might want to just focus on running the right way and without tripping. Chris, in his pink shirt, hat, and lip gloss, takes control of team beauty. It quickly turns into full contact flag football. Chris discovers that the geeks can’t defend against the run, which allows him to take the lead against his old team. Joe’s team still can’t figure out a word he’s saying. So he decides to charge into Randi, which is fine by me. At the end of the first half, beauties lead 6-0.

Tara complains that somebody touched her boobs. This is so not fair. All I see are girly parts. Tom manages to score to tie the game at 6, but the beauties score next to take the lead 12-6, then again at 18-6. Jillian knows it’s probably her last night there, so she doesn’t want any fighting. Matt gets tripped and injures his shoulder, as the medics drag him off the field. The geeks go for a “throw touchdown thing” and are down 18-12 with two minutes left. Once Chris returns the kickoff for a touchdown, though, the game’s obviously over, and the beauties win.

So I guess that means Jillian’s going home. Did I mention that this twist was lame? In addition, the geeks are at risk for elimination since they lost.

Matt returns with a broken bone and a brace on his arm, but he’s still sticking around.

The girls especially want Joe gone because of his behavior the day before, and they’re not happy with Jonathan creeping them out. Chris rejoins the geeks on the stairs, but he’s safe for now. The game will now shift to duos, one beauty and one geek. They realized the original twist was stupid, too. There are 8 geeks and 7 beauties. One geek will not be selected, meaning that person will leave. Oh. Lame. Again. Who’s coming up with the twists on this show? This is worse than Big Brother.

Cara-Chris
Amanda-Tom
Leticia-Matt
Randi-Greg
Kristina-Jason
Tiffany-Jim (not Jonathan as the beauties had previously agreed)

Tara has to choose between Jonathan and Joe. She doesn’t pick anybody because they apparently don’t have the two seconds to reveal the answer, so that will happen on the next episode.

Stay tuned to dingoRUE for another recap of Beauty and the Geek 5 episode 4, which airs Tuesday at 8/7c on The CW.

The Bachelor 12 Episode 3

Matt eliminated three more women in The Bachelor 12 Episode 2: Erin H, Carri, and Michelle. For some unknown reason (she’s very pretty), he kept Shayne Lamas around, despite the fact that she proved to be self centered and way too young to be on this show.

The first one-on-one date is Holly. They will be going to a private premiere of Maid of Honor, complete with paparazzi. If he doesn’t give her a rose by the end of the date, she’s headed home. The nosey reporters ask how their relationship is going now that they’ve known each other for… days. She cries during the movie, and he’s able to comfort her.

Once the movie is over, they head up on the rooftop to chat in the candlelight. Matt says they’re so comfortable together it’s almost too comfortable, to the point where there may not be electricity between them. They kiss in the hottub, then he gives her the rose guaranteeing her safety.

While the other girls are waiting at home, the concrete that Matt and Holly put their hands in is delivered to them, which makes the other girls jealous.

The group date is a game of rugby for Kristine, Amanda, Chelsea, Erin, Noelle, Marshana, Ashlee, Robin, Kelly, and Amy. Noelle’s main mission is not to die. Ashlee’s not at all happy to be there, but at least she’s got her fake eyelashes with her. Eventually, the girls begin rolling around in the mud. Matt is impressed by how quickly Robin picks up the game. In the middle of a play in which Chelsea’s knocking everybody over, Marshana collapses on the ground after she takes an elbow to the face. The other girls aren’t happy that she’s being a wimp and getting some alone time with Matt.

Matt and the girls head to Matt’s house, where there are two masseuses waiting for them, so of course it’s time for the girls to all get into their bikinis. As captain of the winning rugby team, Kelly is up first. She decides to kick the masseuses to the curb and give Matt a massage herself. Robin tells Matt she wants to do whatever it takes to get his attention, but unlike most of the others, she doesn’t want to do stupid things to do so. Amanda’s concerned that they haven’t spoke much because there are too many other girls around. Once they do start talking, Noelle and Kristine sit down beside them. At the end of the date, he decides to give the rose to Robin.

That leaves the final one-on-one date for Shayne. Her biggest concern is that she hasn’t been tanning, so Holly pulls out her spray tanning machine to help her out. She’s very happy to see the wine in her date box. They’re going wine tasting. Matt says he has some big concerns about her. Yeah, there’s a surprise. Shayne tries to downplay her father. She’s obviously not ready to seriously commit to marriage, but she says that she’s maybe ready to move forward to the next step possibly at some point.

Shayne reluctantly admits that she is high maintenance. Points for being honest, even if they’re negated by what she’s being honest about. He’s not sure whether she’s one sandwich short of a picnic or the best thing since sliced bread. I’d suggest the former… and that you run quickly. He tells her there’s something in her that he absolutely loves (she’s a Hollywood star) then kisses her, which he follows closely by giving her the rose. The longer this chick sticks around, the more difficult it is to take the show seriously.

Robin goes on and on and on about her relationship with Matt. The other girls are slowly starting to hate on her. Robin’s already got a rose, but that doesn’t stop her from breaking up Amy’s one-on-one time. So in retaliation, Shayne, Kelly, and Amy go and interrupt her. They tell her not to do it again, but she doesn’t care. She’s going to fight them all if needed.

Ashlee complains that she’s getting tired of the whole process. She says it’s a matter of time before she gets cut anyway.

Kristine, Amy, and Erin are headed home. Kristine says she has a hard time opening up, which is a pattern. Amy is happy to have at least made a couple friends.

Jon Kelley to Host The Mole 5

ABC plans to revive The Mole for the summer, and Variety reports that a replacement host for Anderson Cooper has been chosen. Jon Kelley, former weekend anchor for Extra, will be the host for The Mole when it returns after a four year hiatus.

It is believed that the show will premiere on Monday May 26 at 10PM, possibly being paired with The Bachelorette 4.

The Biggest Loser 5 Episode 13

We saw two boots in The Biggest Loser Couples: Episode 12. At the top of the show, Maggie was eliminated, then at the end, it was Brittany, a swift and fitting end to the two people who threw in the towel the week before.

Black team’s almost extinct, but the two top females remain. Blue team is still four strong.

Bob’s getting frustrated with Jay, who continues to cut out carbs and doesn’t understand that carbs are necessary in a diet. Even the average person has slowly started to figure out that low carb diets aren’t a way of life, which is why Atkins went bankrupt. Mark’s meanwhile getting grief because he’s down to 185 pounds and really doesn’t have a great deal more of weight to lose, so every single thing he eats counts.

Allison comes to see them in the morning and wants to see them all in the elimination room. Ali remembers the last time this happened. She went home. They’re playing for what is under the tray, whatever that is. This is a pop quiz to see what they’ve learned. If they get a question wrong, they’re out. Everybody answers 3500 calories need to be burned for one pound, a question I’d certainly hope they all know by now. The second question is a little more difficult, and it’s how much weight Curtis lost. Since he lost 100 pounds even, it shouldn’t be that tough, though. Kelly answers 104 and is out. Ali answers 88 and is out. Mark answers 101 and is out. The third question is sudden death. Whoever gets closest without going over wins. How many calories are in one cup of fat-free strawberry yogurt? Dan answers 100, Jay answers 60, and Roger answers 60. The correct answer is 200 calories. Dan wins. So what’s under the tray? Dan has won a piece of cake. She suggests he bring it with him to the challenge in one piece.

He doesn’t trust them. He’s going to carry his cake around with him wherever he goes, including the gym, where he puts it on its own treadmill.

Mark’s having difficulty at the workout and breaks down following that, but he reluctantly continues.

Dan goes out for a run, and Roger comes out to tell him his cake is gone. When Dan goes up to his room, he’s got a ransom note from Kelly. He don’t care that she’s in the shower and walks in her room looking for it. She doesn’t know what he’s talking about. So now he wants to talk to Ali. He tries searching in all the places where he normally doesn’t look, like the dishwasher and laundry room. When he finds it, Roger reveals it was him. He wanted to teach him a lesson to protect the cake.

The challenge is in a stadium. They’ll have 20 minutes in which they will grab one item of food per trip and put it on anyone’s table but their own. Whoever has the fewest calories will win $10,000. Dan’s cake is still intact, so he can put his 600 calorie chocolate cake wherever he wants. He gives it to Kelly, a rather hefty start. Kelly’s going after Dan and Roger. Ali’s strategy is to go even with everybody. The guys want to load up the girls. Mark and Jay certainly remember the last challenge like this, the ball challenge. Roger’s the first one to take a bite, and Dan follows suit, as does Jay. Once she notices that the boys are already ganging up on her and Kelly, Ali decides to just go after the guys. None of the guys put anything on any other guy’s table. It’s pretty obvious that neither girl won, as their tables are overflowing with food. Dan says they didn’t want to target each other and were more than happy to leave the decision up to the girls.

Kelly-15,061 calories
Ali-14,327 calories
Dan-5,736 calories
Mark-5,612 calories
Roger-4,895 calories
Jay-4,480 calories

Jay wins the $10,000. Allison asks him how he plans to spend the money, and he says he owes his wife a vacation. But wait. Allison has an alternative offer. She wants him to buy the envelope she’s holding. At final 6, I’d say go for it. Of course, since he only lost 3 pounds last week, he’s unlikely to have a bad week this week, so maybe the $10k is the better option. It’s a 1 pound pass. She gives him until the weigh-in to make the decision. Dan wants him to take the money because if he dosn’t, Dan’s risk is higher.

Following the challenge, Ali decides to forge an alliance with Kelly because she doesn’t want to see the guys just hand the final prize to Roger.

Jillian’s getting tired of the boys and wants to see the sharks turn on each other.

Bob takes the opportunity at the last chance workout to make sure everybody’s doing the same thing, so that they’re all one unit and stick together.

It’s time for the weigh-in, so Jay’s got a choice to make. He takes the pound.

Jay: 201 pounds (-5, plus another pound, 2.91%)
Roger: 236 pounds (-6, 2.48%)
Dan: 198 pounds (-1, 0.50%)
Mark: 181 pounds (-4, 2.16%)
Ali: 149 pounds (-6, 3.87%)
Kelly: 192 pounds (-7, 3.52%)

With her 85 pound weight loss, Ali has set a new record for weight lost by a female, and she hasn’t even been there the whole time. Now the boys have to pick off one of their own, although they do still retain a numbers advantage. Mark and Dan are below the yellow line. For Dan, this is the first time he’s been below the yellow line. Factoring in starting weights and who has more to lose, I’d suggest Dan is the bigger threat. Jay refuses to put his brother’s name down again, which he lets the house know, so with that in mind, perhaps Mark would be seen as a bigger threat.

Votes
Ali-Dan
Kelly-Dan
Roger-Dan

With three votes, Dan is not the biggest loser, but he’s definitely a threat to win the $100,000. He’s already moving on with his music career and has moved out to LA. Dan’s down 125 pounds from his original weight of 310 pounds to 185 pounds today.

Big Brother 9 Episode 21

Following her side getting the upper hand with the eviction of an excessively bitter Chelsia, Natalie continued the momentum, winning HOH in Big Brother 9 Episode 20.

Oh, this again. How long is this 60 Minutes show anyway? Big Brother 9 is running about half an hour late tonight.

Josh doesn’t like that America hates him, so he takes the opportunity to insult Natalie.

James has finally realized that his original strategy isn’t working. Ya think?

Team Christ is in the house. God was apparently trying to take vengeance on Chelsia. Oh, like he’s the only one who got sick of her mouth.

Natalie has a new theory, again revolving around numbers. This time it’s the number 7 that’s important.

Natalie gets a letter from home telling her that her family’s closer together, including her mother and father, who haven’t talked in years.

What do a bunch of bored out of their minds grown ups do when they get tired of the place they’re living? Play hide and seek.

Josh’s parents have accepted him as being gay, even if it took a while to get used to.

Sharon wants James gone now, as they realize their alliance is as dead as the sovereign 2.5.

Natalie’s thinking now that she can’t particularly trust her alliance, and she’s considering trusting James instead, since he can’t trust his alliance either. She knows he’s stabbed her in the back more than once.

It’s time for a “smashing” food competition. The houseguests can choose between food or slop. If three or more choose slop, everyone gets what they ask for. If the majority choose food, the minority goes on food and the majority gets slop. Sharon chooses slop. Adam chooses food. Josh chooses slop. James chooses slop. To reveal the results, they’ll take a mallet and smash their watermelons.

Sharon-Slop
James-Slop
Joshuah-Slop
Ryan-Slop
Sheila-Slop
Adam-Food

Adam’s the only one on food, along with HOH Natalie.

Natalie takes a moment or 12 to stare at Matt’s picture on the memory wall.

Ryan wants to see James get backdoored just for sheer entertainment value because he will get really whiny about it.

Nominations
Adam-Safe
Sheila-Safe
Ryan-Safe
Sharon-Safe

James and Joshuah have been nominated for eviction. James says she better hope he doesn’t get off the block because if he does, she’ll pay. Uh, I thought his plan was to make Adam pay. Or was it Ryan? Or Sheila? Or perhaps Sharon and Josh, who voted him out the first time? This would be a lot more compelling if his target weren’t everybody in the house.

Big Brother 9 Spoilers

The Apprentice UK Series 4 Episode 1

The Apprentice is back with its 4th installment, and as usual, Sir Alan Sugar is returning to the boardroom with his aides Nick Hewer and Margaret Mountford, along with 16 candidates competing for a £100k job.

The show starts off with a boardroom meet and greet in which Sir Alan tells the candidates his expectations. First of all, they should be nervous. Unlike previous seasons in which he questioned why people would be willing to come to work for him for what was sometimes less than what they were making already, he says the money doesn’t mean anything. It seems now he gets the point. He tells them he’s not Mary Poppins and they’re on their own two feet. It’s not time to go to the luxurious surroundings in the house he’s setup for them. Rather, business starts right away.

The first task is to sell fish on the streets of London. It’s boys against girls.

One of the first things they’ll have to do before selling is to pick a team name.

The girls pick the name Alpha, a decent name even if it’s a bit boring. A couple of the people who identify as salespeople would rather be out there selling than leading. Claire steps forward to be their project manager.

The guys come up with the name of Renaissance. I don’t get it. Raef is asked to be the proect manager, but he says he’s not really a manager. Won’t be able to use that excuse for long. With that said, Alex, a regional sales manager who oversees about 40 people, steps up to be the project manager for the boys.

They have a choice of four markets. The girls head to a local fishmonger to get his opinion. Sara takes this as an opportunity to complain about the other girls, saying she doesn’t like being interrupted. I suspect we’ll hear more of this from her.

Unlike the girls, the boys are standing around trying to figure things out on their own. They finally figure out that they want to go to Islington, where the girls already are quickly surrounded by bargain hunters before they even have time to get everything unpacked, priced, and labelled.

Lindi gets fed up with all the discussion and just starts selling, pricing be damned. Others follow this lead. The reason they needed to take their time pricing, though, was that now they’re selling below wholesale price.

The boys stroll in around noon. Alex wants to actually get setup before they start selling. Rather than wait for Nicholas to figure out pricing, Alex wants to copy the local fishmonger’s prices, then undercut him slightly. Nicholas takes the pricing and runs with it, as apparently at some point during the communication process there was a misunderstanding of the difference between kilos and pounds. One of their customers feels guilty for robbing them.

The girls are still trading two hours later… and still haven’t labelled their stock properly. Claire finally stops them to get organized and figure out what is they’re actually selling and at what prices.

Nicholas, who priced the lobster at £4.90 per unit, heads over to spy on the girls and see what they’re using for pricing. He finds out that they’re charging £23 per kilo. Rather than worrying about just fixing things, Alex quickly places the blame on Nick and wants everybody around him to know that it was Nick who screwed up.

After they’ve sold 3/4 of their stock, Sara takes the time to count the money and finds out they’re at 440 pounds, a pace that if kept up would be enough to maybe break even. They don’t want to figure out what went wrong, but Claire takes half the team to go to a more upscale market.

The boys discover another mistake. Expensive monkfish tail is mislabelled as turbot. Raef says he consulted people, including Alex, who were unable to identify it, so he pretty much just guessed. Of course, Nick, who was told it was turbot, is dragged into this for pricing it as turbot. Since it’s close to closing time, Alex splits half the team off to go to stores and sell.

Claire’s team selling at a posh market unload all of their stock for £125.

The boys find a business to buy a bunch of fish from them, which project manager Alex waiting for them expects to go for a similar amount as that. They get bullied by a guy who refuses to even budge 5 pounds, so they’re only able to get £50 on this deal. Michael says this horrible trade is on his head, but the others who are with him back him up and say they didn’t think they’d be able to sell it for more since the day was almost over.

Nick’s concerned that the guys are split into two groups competing against each other. Alex quickly backs up this point, saying that the shining stars were Simon, Lee, Ian, and himself to some degree.

Lindi is already lining up her excuses as to why Claire was a weak leader.

Sir Alan says the girls sound like a bloody mess.

About half the team for the boys say Alex was a good team leader. Rather than just sitting back and not nodding, Nicholas says Alex was a bad team leader, that he was too negative. He’s backed up by Raef and Michael, and Sir Alan quickly notices a split in the camp. Raef says it was schoolboy tactics based on friends, even though they’ve only just met each other earlier in the day.

The boys returned with £632.69; the girls returned with £753.98. Alpha manages to win in spite of their performance, not because of it, and Sir Alan’s not particularly impressed with either side.

The winning team gets to head to their home for the next 12 weeks, where they get a dinner prepared by an award winning chef.

Raef believes he got one box wrong. Margaret points out that he actually mislabelled three boxes. Then comes the question of pricing, which was Nick’s responsibility. He acknowledges the mislabelled turbot and then goes into further discussion about the lobster. Then Michael again takes blame for the final deal of the day.

Alex brings Nicholas and Raef back into the boardroom. He sends them back to the house and asks them to return in the morning.

Nicholas’ guess is that the team is split between educated versus gritty salesmen, which Alex takes offense to because he does have a business degree. So then Nicholas backtracks and says he’s really cultured and into art but finds it difficult to have conversations about football. Regardless of what happened at the task, this boardroom is where Nicholas is really damaging himself. Sir Alan is confused why that would actually matter as to why they couldn’t work together. Raef chimes in and says he gets along with prince or pauper. So who’s the prince?

Sir Alan tells Raef that if someone mislabelled one of his products, they would be fired without question. Nicholas only had to price things, and with all the qualifications he’s bragging about, he should have done it well. Alex, who runs sales teams, only had to run a very simple selling task here. Ultimately, the decision is that Nicholas is fired. Sir Alan is only happy with Alex because he took the risk of being the first project manager, but Nick was impressed that he defended himself well.

The rest of the team is happy to see Alex return.

The Bachelor 12 Episode 2

The Bachlor 12 episode 1 kicked off by introducing us to the 12th bachelor, London’s Matt Grant, along with 25 bachelorettes. Of course, this was entirely too many, so 10 of them were lopped off in short order to make them a little bit easier to keep track of.

The first date is for Ashlee, Kristine, Marshana, Noelle, Michelle, Amanda, Erin H, and Holly. They head to a fashion show, but they’re not actually there to see a show. The girls are the show. Some of the girls are already pageant queens/models/actresses, but some are nervous about it. Amanda makes sure to take off her shirt to get some extra attention. Then they go to a more intimate setting at a hotel. Marshana is concerned about interracial dating, a fair concern since every year the one black girl is generally sent home in the first episode or two. Matt responds that it’s not an issue for him and that it’s different in the UK. This year, the girls aren’t just looking for an acting/modelling gig. No, they want to be able to get jobs as singers/songwriters. Michelle has written a song, which she sings to Matt. Ashlee not so subtly tells him she wants a kiss, and then she gets the rose, which she proceeds to dance around with and wave in other people’s faces.

The second group of Chelsea, Shayne, Erin S, Amy, Carri, Robin, and Kelly are going to Vegas on their date. Matt gives them all $1,000 in chips and tells them whoever comes up with the most chips gets to spend half an hour with him. Rather than gamble, Robin walks away with Matt to talk with him. Shayne, on the other hand, puts all her money on red and loses it all at one time. Kelly ends up winning the most chips, which allows her to get a bite to eat and a drink with Matt.

Shayne pulls Matt aside to tell him she’s a drama queen. 22-year-old lifelong actress a drama queen? So pretty much nobody is surprised. She complains to him that she doesn’t like that 14 other girls are vying for his attention. Uh, that’s pretty much the whole point of the show, although let’s be real here: how much of a coincidence could it be that Shayne stars on another ABC show, General Hospital? What, she didn’t want to be on Dancing with the Stars? She tells us she’s too self centered for this whole process to be fun for her.

Chelsea and Matt have a talk that for whatever reason leads to her getting the rose. He doesn’t shed much light on why she got the rose either.

Robin isn’t the first to get a kiss, but she does get the longest one. This makes Marshana even more jealous, so she goes out to dance with him, even if there’s not any music. Matt tells us he’d kiss her if the other girls weren’t staring at them.

There’s another singer in the house, Carri. She says she doesn’t want it to turn it into a talent show, but it’s already too late for that. She sings an opera song for him.

Shayne apologizes to Matt for throwing a tantrum like a spoiled little brat. He brings up the fact that she’s an actress as a concern.

The Celebrity Apprentice Winner

The Celebrity Apprentice 2 winner

Donald Trump brought us down to the final two in The Celebrity Apprentice Episode 12: Piers Morgan and Trace Adkins. Despite his sometimes rough win at all costs attitude, Piers has been the clear leader almost from the very beginning of the show. Trace hasn’t stood out quite as much but has performed well in his time on the show. Now the two hour finale where we find out who is the winner is upon us.

We start off the show the same way every finale starts off: Trump’s advisers offer him no useful advice and tell him he’s got a tough decision ahead of him.

Piers calls up some more famous British people like Sharon Osbourne. Then he apologizes to Stephen Baldwin if he’s offended him.

Trace has his hands full with the Backstreet Boys. He’s still trying to find wheat grass juice for them. Now he needs black nail polish, which he goes to buy along with three time heavyweight champion of the world Lennox Lewis.

Baldwin’s proving useless in his effort to get rid of tickets.

Trace’s country music stars are on their way to the show. Then he gets a surprise visit from his wife and daughters.

Carol Alt is working on logistics and catering for Piers, who hopes to get the celebrities drunk so they’ll spend more.

When the Backstreet Boys (or BSB as their good buddy Trace knows them) show up, they surprise Trace, telling him one of them needs a knee brace. Oh, and he still needs wheat grass.

Piers’ prize with the Duchess of York gets a bid of $100k from one of his guests. The same guy bids $100k for a dinner with Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne, who will be inviting his band to play.

Ivanka buys dinner with Trace Adkins.

The auction from there is just one big blur. It’s not apparent either what is bid or what is offered, but the final auction is a day of shopping with Ivanka Trump. Simon Cowell calls Piers to place a bid. Simon runs this one up to $100k as well. Trace finds this distasteful, but he already knew he was going to lose when it came to money.

Trace still hasn’t found the wheat grass, but the BSB are ready to go on stage nonetheless.

Even though they’re adversaries, the six celebrities who are working on the event stand together to enjoy getting to the end of the process.

Howard Lutnick of Cantor Fitzgerald, who bid on the Osbournes and Fergie, will be matching text donations up to $250,000.

Piers suggests that he would have told the Backstreet Boys too bad rather than bending over backwards for them because they would have shown up anyway since it was for millions of viewers and charity.

Piers raised $376,000 compared to Trace’s $64,000 at the auction. In ticket sales, Trace raised $38,000 compared with $12,000 for Piers, who gave away 20 tickets to his charity in hopes of boosting auction sales. It’s now down to who Trump wants to win. Overall, Piers crushed Trace, which is typical for Piers. Trace takes it personally and indicates that Piers is belittling his donors. Piers asks him to take it back.

Baldwin tries to take the moral road, telling Trump that Piers’ strategy of getting people drunk was not okay with God or something.

Piers asks for clarification of what the game is: being a nice guy or a being good businessman.

Now it’s time for the final live boardroom with all the celebrities. Unfortunately, Omarosa’s there, too. Piers asks what her name is.

Lennox thinks both men are competent. Carol says Piers is great but that she should have been the one against him in the finale. Baldwin says Trace is ten times better than Piers. Vinny Pastore regrets resigning. Trace is easily more popular than Piers with the celebrities. Gene Simmons still thinks Kodak is wrong, even though they’ve doubled and expect to triple their sales based on Hydra’s performance. He also supports Trace.

Trace tells us about his charity, the Food Allergy & Anaphylaxis Network, which he has been involved with because his 6-year-old daughter has severe food allergies. Piers is supporting the Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund, and of the over $1 million of money raised this season, the lion’s share has gone to them.

And The Celebrity Apprentice winner is… Piers Morgan. While his methods may have been questionable, the results he’s produced speak for themselves.

I have to give Trump, Mark Burnett, and NBC credit for revitalizing this show that previously has been in its decline, even if their bad decisions ultimately caused it to decline. Unlike last year when the show’s fate was unknown, The Celebrity Apprentice 2 has been confirmed.

For those of you either in the UK or curious to see how things are on the other side of the pond, I’m hoping to get started on The Apprentice UK Series 4 coverage some time this week. Anyone looking for more Piers, coverage of America’s Got Talent 3 begins June 17th.
