The Celebrity Apprentice aired a new episode tonight May 6, 2012 and it promises to be another heated and explosive show. Last season’s two finalists, John Rich and Marlee Matlin, return to grill our remaining contestants. On one side we have Clay Aiken and Lisa Lampanelli, on the other, Teresa Giudice, Aubrey O’Day and Arsenio Hall.
LIVE SHOW RECAP
And, we’re live!!
On their way back to the suite after Dayana was fired, Lisa and Clay decide to pull a fast one on Arsenio and make him believe Clay was fired too. Arsenio is all worried that his boy is gone and is only too excited to see Clay walk into the suite, safe and sound!
Lisa is beside herself that Dayana is gone. Teresa on the other hand believes she will be Lisa’s new target and says to the camera, “bring it on!” Be careful what you ask for Teresa.
Lisa & Clay win the negotiations and pick four female models while Teresa got two female and two male. “I’m an evil genius,” Lisa tells Clay after. Since Lisa and Clay do not know much about style and fashion, Lisa takes one of the models to Lord & Taylor to pick out the models’ outfits.
Clay starts the photo shoot without Lisa because she was not back from shopping yet. Even when she gets back, she starts to eat and leaves Clay to do the work. Don Jr. comes to check up on them and Lisa uses flattery to butter him up. Don thinks it’s funny that Clay is picking out the shots of women and is so overly confident.
Eric Trump checks in on Unanimous and realizes how bad of a negotiator Teresa is. He can tell that Aubrey is running the show once again. Eric likes Aubrey’s persistence. Aubrey is doing everything.
DAY OF TASK
“Be at peace with the future of your hair” is the slogan for Unanimous. During the presentation, Teresa is awkward and can’t read her own notes. Aubrey plays into Farouk’s liking of her and flatter and flirts with him. Arsenio was great as well.“More than just a new pretty face” is the slogan for Forte.
Donald Trump asks Teresa if she got outsmarted by Lisa outsmarted and she denies it. Teresa says she liked Lisa but she played dirty “like the dirty mouth that she has.” Lisa replied that they all have their own tactics. Lisa thinks Teresa shouldn’t be in the final two because there are four people left who deserve it more.
The executives didn’t think Teresa’s ad spoke of the hair dryer. They also said Teresa looked awkward during the presentation. The execs liked Lisa’s presentation as well as the ads, especially the back covers. But they said the team’s clothes were a bit dated.
Teresa says she would fire Arsenio if their team loses. Well, her team does lose and Teresa is shocked.
TASK WINNER:
Aubrey says had they won the model negotiations, they would have gotten the right models and won.
Teresa thinks Arsenio should be fired because he played it safe but Arsenio does not think that Teresa is even qualified to make any judgements on him. Teresa asks Aubrey to say what he brought to the table on this task and Arsenio tells her not to throw him under the bus since he can back it up and hit her with it.
Teresa claims she and Aubrey did everything on this task and Arsenio asks Teresa what original idea she had. The two bicker back and forth for a while. Donald asks Aubrey if Arsenio played it safe and Aubrey says she is not really sure what everyone did because she was doing so much herself she did not have time to oversee others. Arsenio tells Donald that when people walked into the room they had no idea who the project manager was which is true. Teresa called Arsenio safe and a liar. Teresa says she told everyone she was the PM. Donald Jr. interrupts and says there is a difference between telling people you’re the project manager and commanding the presence of a project manager.
Donald cuts the session short and tells Teresa in all fairness she was the project manager and the execs loved Aubrey and Arsenio. Donald fires Teresa!
BUT, this is a double elimination episode. So just wait to find out who else gets fired tonight!
INTERVIEWS!
Marlee Matlin and John Rich –previous finalists–come back to the show to interview the final four.
Rich says that Clay has set a low standard for himself, continuously riding under the radar. Rich thinks he should have been more assertive than being PM only two times out of 13 and does not feel that Clay has played his best yet.
They feel that Arsenio has great energy but gets angry and loses control. Marlee said since he apologized, she’s OK with it. John and Marlee both respect Lisa’s passion and the fact that she is so tough. Marlee says one cannot break down and be considered a leader.
BACK IN THE BOARDROOM:
He then says one more contestant will be fired….BUT, he won’t announce it tonight. The show will continue to next week when someone will be fired in the first ten minutes!
Spoilers say that it is Teresa who will be the first celebrity to be fired and leave tonight. That means, Lisa and Clay win the challenge. But wait. One more person will be fired before the night is done after John Rich and Marlee Matlin interview the remaining four. We don’t know who that person is…but, stop reading because I am about to tell you who the final two are. So, if you do not want to know, please stop reading now………The season spoilers are that Clay and Arsenio are the last two who make it to the finale which means either Lisa or Aubrey will be fired tonight too. My guess is that Aubrey won’t be able to make it past the interview rounds. What do you think?
If Clay doesn’t make it to the finale I won’t be watching after that is announced…hopefully he will make it. I think he has been really good on the show. I cannot stand Lisa or Aubrey….Aubrey is the most conceived human being on this earth in all ways. Lisa knows it all and is never wrong….I think you have to see other people’s views and be able to work with others if you want to win and Clay and Arsenio are those two people. They are friends and I think Trump knows what an interesting finale that would make..plotting two friends against each other. yummy
I mean’t conceited…not conceived LOL. She may be the most conceived too since she thinks so much of herself. hehe
After watching the show I am 1000% sure of who is going home between Clay, Arseno and Aubrey. If you play back the preview for next week you will see Mr. Trump point to his right and congratulate the two finalist to his left..Aubrey and Arseno
Can not stand Sinewy…she’s got to go. Clay is my choice!
That should say Aubrey. Damn auto correct
Plz Lord, someone fire Lisa! Totally agree with the statement “I cannot stand Lisa or Aubrey….Aubrey is the most conceived human being on this earth in all ways. Lisa knows it all and is never wrong….I think you have to see other people’s views and be able to work with others if you want to win”.
I WILL say, though, that while Aubrey is young and stupid but thinks she knows everything and is an attention hog, I wouldn’t mind a finale with her and Arsenio. Don’t know why either!
