'Celebrity Apprentice': Not the firing you'd expect
Finally trying to get caught up on The Celebrity Apprentice. I gather that Piers Morgan hasn't been getting along with a number of people, but the combination of him and Omarosa was not pretty.
Check out the clip above to see just one of their fights. This doesn't address the parts where she repeatedly made comments about his children and said in interviews that she was purposefully hitting him below the belt. (Yeah, she's a great person to have on your team. Especially when you're playing for charity.) Piers tried to fire Omarosa, but that didn't work too well. She's good at working a situation -- as soon as Ivanka showed up to gather information, she said nothing about him, and he went on and on about her being a piece of trash.
In the end, despite the madness, Piers' team won, beating out the new Empresario, all of whom worked very well together.
Trump was flummoxed and couldn't figure out what to do and finally decided that since this is for charity, he wouldn't fire anyone.
Next week, Omarosa and Marilu Henner are swapping teams to keep O away from Piers. Probably a good plan.
It is a little annoying, though, that most of the tasks seem to involve how much money the contestants can squeeze out of their celebrity friends instead of, you know, actual marketing or creativity. Oh, well.
Comments
If Donald Trump made a first time decision not to fire anyone from the winning team then he should of made a first time decision to get rid of that insulting ignorant [deleted] omarosa. How Donald did not fire her is beyoned me. She should of been fired for making all those comments about Peirs's family. If she is not gone on the next show, I will never watch another Apprentice show again ever.

I agree that omerosa must be fired. She is distracting and annoying and should not have been on the show in the first place. [sentence deleted by moderator]

I agree. I think she went too far insulting his family. She is taking this too far. That Morgan guy is a pain it looks like, but he is a tolerable. Omarosa mentioning his kids is just going too far. She takes it too seriously.. why is she still on any tv show?

I think Amarosa is Brilliant!! She knows how to stir the pot and get everyone talking. If it were not for her- the show would be a bore. These "celebs" know nothing about cut throat business. Amarosa serves them up! She is the true star of this show. How she goes to the end.
