The Celebrity Apprentice:Shock Value (3/27/11)

So far this season I've been able to predict the winner of the task before we get to the boardroom. This week I was way off. This week the teams had to make a 30 second commerical for ACN's new video phones. The company specificly asked for a video that pulled at the heart strings and be emotional. Then HOW DID TEAM ASAP LOSE?!?

Team Backbone-Winning Team
Project Manager: Lil Jon
I'm still trying to figure this one out. They decided to go the viral shock route for their video and had Jose play the gay fiance of Gary Busey's grandson. It was really funny but totally the opposite of where the company told them to go. After thinking about it, besides the fact that the adviors votes saw it as a huge viral success for the company, the fact that they had Lil Jon hosting it, giving off the massive energy and that they went second were the reasons they won. I wonder what the vote would have been if they went first.

Team A.S.A.P.-Losing Team
Project Manager: NeNe Leakes
The ladies went the more traditional route and had Marlee Matlin play the deaf mom of a teen overseas in Paris and talking in signs on the video phone. I was sure they were going to win. they lost 53-47%, very close, but still three losses in a row. So that led to a very interseting boardroom where LaToya and Dionne were put on the chopping block. Then Dionne shocked me, and probably everyone, by challenging Trump to fire her. So well he did. That being said something good came out of this, I've been wanting to get rid of her for weeks.

Gary Busey Line of the Show:

"Did you see Big Wednesday? That's what my fiancée calls my apparatus, Big Wednesday."
