NBC has already given the nod to a ninth season of Donald Trump's Apprentice, so the show must be speaking to viewers. Sure, it's reality entertainment, but there are real-life lessons to be found in each episode of this season's Celebrity Apprentice. We had to get something valuable out of those two-hour segments, right?
Celebrity Apprentice: Did Trump Make the Right Decision? Last night was the three-hour battle royale for the title of The Celebrity Apprentice. Joan Rivers and Annie Duke found themselves facing each other head to head, and Donald Trump described the duo saying, "they're both tough, they're both smart, and they both hate each other."

Last night was the three-hour battle royale for the title of
The Celebrity Apprentice. Joan Rivers and Annie Duke found themselves facing each other head to head, and Donald Trump described the duo saying, "they're both tough, they're both smart, and they both hate each other." Joan wins the final challenge and the Celebrity Apprentice crown.

Guess who is a finalist for
The Celebrity Apprentice? You just need to enter one of the two finalist's names to get a right answer.

Kotu had a rough time on last night's episode of
The Celebrity Apprentice. The team lost half its members between the two challenges, leaving only Joan Rivers and Clint Black (who haven't had the smoothest personal history on the show) to represent Kotu.
Natalie Gulbis was fired for her lack of fund-raising and for making poor decisions when selecting the jewelry for the runway show featuring Ivanka Trump's jewelry line.

The challenge on last night's
Celebrity Apprentice was for the teams to design in-store displays for an identity-theft-protection company, and the episode was pretty uneventful until more than halfway through the two-hour show.
Brian McKnight is the project manager for Athena, and he does a great job with the presentation. The executives thought the team's display hit brand messaging, but it was a spin on what they already had done.

Every contestant on
The Celebrity Apprentice says they said yes to participating in the show because it's an opportunity to raise a lot of money for charities they care about. While it's true the show raises a solid amount for good causes, the celebrities on the show aren't offering their time free of charge. I've always wondered how much the celebs are compensated for appearing on the show, and finally got an answer while browsing through a recent Us Weekly.

With only four men left in the running to become
The Celebrity Apprentice, Donald Trump opened last night's episode by mixing up the teams and creating new co-ed versions of Kotu and Athena. The teams are challenged to create viral online videos for All laundry detergent, and Perez Hilton makes a remote appearance to judge the projects on originality, buzzworthiness, and branding.
While the Athena team has high hopes for their video that was loved by Perez, the All executives found both videos offensive and ineffective to their target demographic.

On last night's
The Celebrity Apprentice, the teams are given five rooms at the Lowes Regency Hotel and asked to indulge their guests' needs and desires. The celebs aren't shy about putting on hotel uniforms and getting down and dirty — both teams jump in fulfilling household tasks like cleaning rooms, delivering room service, and managing the concierge. While watching the teams get up close and personal with the housekeeping industry was entertaining, the challenge was all about good service.
