Celebrity Apprentice: Double D Drama

In the April 1, 2012 3-hour Celebrity Apprentice, there was a lot of drama surrounding celebrities whose names start with D. Yes, Yes. Dee, Dayana and Debbie. And it was mighty UGLY! We’re so glad we weren’t actually there, because according to @LisaLampanelli on her twitter, it was a lot worse than what we got to see!

Interesting editing by NBC Sun., don’t you think, @AubreyODay? The stuff they cut out of the boardroom was disgusting. Will all come out. ~ Lisa

Lisa also claims that she’s no bully because “It’s not bullying if it’s telling the truth. Btw, bullying is picking on someone not on your level. We are all on the same level.” Watching Lisa shouting shut up at Dayana in the first task, and then unfairly nominating her for the boardroom in the Walgreen’s fiasco, (where Penn Jillette said Walmart instead of Walgreens!), only made us dislike her so much more.

F— you! Develop a talent and a brain and then maybe the world will take you seriously.” ~ Lisa Lampanelli

The first task was to create and sell a guidebook of New York City. Dee Snider headed up the men’s team and Teresa Giudice led the rattlesnakes, um, we mean women’s team. Do we really need to tell you Lisa and Aubrey O’Day squashed and crapped on everyone except Debbie Gibson, and Debbie did her best to derail Teresa. You can’t help rooting for the men’s team because there’s just not as many … bad words. Regis Philbin was the guest judge and picked the ladies’ guidebook to win. That earned them $35,000. It was really about who made the most money and the men were raking in the dough left and right. Penn’s partner, Teller, showed up and donated $20,000. The Blue Men Group came and put $8,000 in balloons and then the balloon popped — literally — and there was money flying all the place. A mad scramble for the loot ensued and Team Unanimous only ended up with $2,000 of the money, much to Clay Aiken’s disgust.

Within 15 seconds, there were 50 people on the ground, yanking things out of my hand. Arsenio grabbed money out of the crack of some lady’s butt because she was sticking it in her pants. ~ Clay Aiken

It’s New York City, Clay. We know a guy who took out his billfold to pay a cab driver and a passerby helped himself to the whole thing.

In spite of the $35,000 prize the women earned and the balloon debacle AND the fact that Arsenio Hall didn’t get a blank check from Jay Leno in time, the men still managed to come out $14 ahead. Teresa lit into Debbie for calling out her organizational skills. As they argued vehemently, Aubrey perkily asked “Can I go on the other team.” Dee Snider emphatically said “No.” Teresa said she would fire Dayana or Debbie, who noted that Teresa doesn’t like anyone to speak out against her, which isn’t professional.

How about what you’re wearing. Are you professional? Your t-ts are hanging out. Are you professional? ~ Teresa Giudice

Well, the blue dress Debbie had on did look like spandex. LOL.

When Teresa brought back her two picks for the axe, Donald Trump could not fathom why Dayana was there and not Aubrey. You have to hand it to Dayana, if for nothing else, for keeping her cool when being attacked by mad dog Lisa.

“Lisa, we’re all here for business. Professional. You can sit and listen and then when it’s you’re turn, you can continue.” ~ Dayana Mendoza

Teresa told Trump she was not impressed with Dayana’s fund raising. “We all could do it if we put our minds to it.” Much to Ivanka Trump’s amusement, Teresa was not much impressed with Debbie’s singing abilities either. Donald Trump was impressed with Dayana’s ability to just lay back and watch the fireworks, saying it seemed Dayana couldn’t believe what she was seeing. Dayana said she couldn’t believe she was even there.

Then Debbie sealed her own fate when she unstrategically defended Dayana, saying Aubrey should be there. It came down to the money and Debbie was fired because she raised the least amount of money of those present in the boardroom. After Debbie gave Dayana a hug, Teresa asked for one but was nixed off. Debbie’s voiceover proclaimed that the worst thing was seeing how shrewd and dishonest people can be for very self-serving purposes.

“Does my ego like that I was fired? No. But Mr. Trump can’t fire me from being Debbie Gibson, so nothing is lost.”
