Too many of the projects are based on contact lists. Omarosa should not have been a PM for a challenge based primarily on contacts. She let her ego get in the way. Having rich friends doesn't make Piers a better leader. Trump had a better idea this week by not allowing big name contacts for the challenge. More challenges should be done like this in the future if we are to see how smart these celebrities really are.

Those were sandwiches? Looks like it would take 3 bites to finish them.
I agree, while I love Carol Alt, I think she is definitely the weakest of the 4.
I hope Piers or Trace wins this whole thing.
I also like them not using there contacts on this task. A little change never hurts.

Piers and Trace have been the standouts throughout the season, no question. Carol and Lennox have been used primarily as marketing tools, which is fine, but neither has provided ideas or leadership.
Between Piers and Trace, I think Piers is a better fit for Trump. Like Trump, he's outspoken, has a giant ego and is a total media whore. They're really made for each other.

Trump should change the rules and say that the winner has to marry him. Then, he can divorce his wife and declare Carol Alt the winner.
Yes, I think Carol, at her age, is much hotter than that chick he's married to now.

Back from lunch with Ivanka Trump at this event http://www.gnmaa.com/.
No pictures, but at some points walking by I was 3 feet from her. I was at the table directly next to hers.
Gorgeous. Prettier in person than on TV. Really--wow. I did notice that she only ate about 2 bites of her lunch.
Heightwise, she looked like a giant in her heels. I think I was eye level with her mouth or nose (and I'm 5'11").
Oh... obvious boob job.
As far as her official presentation/speech, I was seated dead center of the stage, 2nd table back. She sat the whole time, in a short skirt and crossed legs, but no Basic Instinct moment.

I don't like Country Music Much, but I am tempted to get a Trace Adkins record, he's been great on this show.

Is it me or do you think the Back Street boys acting like primadonas was a setup by Trump, so he can praise Trace for putting up with it, and handling it smoothly. If not why else would they act like that, especially for a charity event?
It seems to me there is always a call out to when the guys get through a tough patch (norm something that seems obviously setup).
I like both Trace and Piers both, but I can't imagine Trump not picking Trace no matter what. Personally if Piers kills Trace in money, and pulls in a few bigger celebs I think he should get it.. who cares how nice he is.
I mean Fergie Vs a bunch of country stars? Seems like to me cleary Fergie is the bigger universal draw.
Also I'm not sure I can hear the Trace food allergy speech again.

I agree with the above, or at least hope so for their sake, that the Backstreet Boys are playing a role.
In addition, it is disturbing Carol made it that far. The only thing she did was not know the layaway aspect of the QVC, something that cost their team a win and something she knew but didn't offer.
And one thing where Trace messed up, is that he should have had Lennox deal with the Backstreet Boys. Those girls would not have asked for ridiculous things and acted obnoxious in front of Lennox. If it isn't a role, they didn't even know who Trace was.....

Certainly it's a setup on some level. They want Trace to win because it's a better story, so the producers are going to create as many reasons as possible to use to explain it if he doesn't win on merit.
I thought it was telling that after all the talk about Carol being a great asset blah-blah-blah, she was picked dead last. Trace took sleepy boy and the spazz, while Piers took the least-connected celebrity on the face of the Earth for a celebrity event. That's like being picked after Eliza and Chet on Survivor.
I like how Piers almost seemed surprised that Stevie B. couldn't get any celebs to come. Has he been paying attention to this show?
Of course, Trace's list of country stars is pretty weak. Ronnie Mislap is still alive?
One thing is certain: an angry Trace is entertainment gold.

He should have been able to get Alec, Tina Fey, and Tracy Morgan -- let alone anyone else.
Heck call up Pauly Shore from biodome if you have to.

I almost didn't even watch this season, but Celebrity Apprentice has pretty easily become one of the most satisfying series I've ever watched. And I'm a reality TV show junkie.
Anyway, my favorite moment: the Marilu/Lennox segment. Hilarious when the two were leaving the decorator's place and Marilu sort of pauses, over-thinking things once again, and Lennox, from off-camera, says "Done."
