The Celebrity Apprentice:The Circus is Back in Town (3/6/11)

Well tonight is the return of Celebrity Apprentice and since I'm home, I'm going to live blog as we go along. I'm not even sure how this is going to work at all. This is the first time I've live blogged a show with this format. So hopefully this all makes sense. Going to be a fun night.

• Here we go. Just by this opening alone, this is going to be a crazy season. Oh Trump, well put. "The circus is back in town, and I'm the ringmaster!"
• Nene Leakes, you are not EVEN a celebrity! Just shutup now! Star Jones had open heart surgery? Wow, never knew that. Jon Rich is playing for St. Jude? Wow. That's really awesome. "Don't underestimate the country boy!" Well said.
• Off to Trump Towers. Okay Gary Busey is going to get annoying fast.
• The ladies' name is Asap? What the hell? That's the best they could do? Alright we'll go with that. Why am I NOT surprised that Star Jones is going to be the first project manager?
• Back to the guys. Backbone? Wow these are some terrible names this year, Richard Hatch is going to be the guys' first project manager. This is going to be crazy.
• Off to the boardroom for the first time. Can't wait to hear Trump's reactions to the names. This should be interseting. Trump took the guys' name better than I thought.  The Artists, Singers, Authors and Professionals with a Purpose. I think. The sing language was cool though. Ohh! This is straight up my alley. They are running pizzerias.

Girls are at the Broadway District, the guys are at 8th and Broadway. This should be fun when they come back from the break.

• Back from the break in Backbone's office. This is a money challenge so I totally agree with Richard's idea to get the contacts up and running. Jose Cansaco, you screwed yourself with your little book. You said it, you could have go easy money from some Yankees players.
• Over to the ladies. This should be fun to watch the ladies try to figure how to run a pizzerias.
• The guys are at their Famalia's resturant. Richard is ALREADY getting on people's nerves. Guys he's the project manager, he's an asshole. You knew that going in. So you can't get mad at him for being himself.

Another break already? That was fast.

• Lil Jon, Jon Rich and Gary Busey are in charge of creative. This should be interseting. Okay this is hysterical. I wanna be the "Pepperoni Profit"!
• Has Invoka gotten hotter since last season? It seems like it. She's questioning Richard's decision to be project manager.
• The ladies in the kicthen are hysterical. They all totally want to call Star out for being lazy today.
• Is it me or do I not want a pizza being prepped by a sweaty Meatloaf? Seriously, what do the guys expect from Richard? He's the man in charge and he's in the kicthen with you at least. That's more than Star is doing for the ladies. Wow. Mark McGrath's reaction to having to actually make the pizza was hysterical. It's like no one told him that they actually had to make the pizza, oh WAIT Trump did!

Okay they were on the air for like 5 or 6 minutes and now another break. I now understand why this is a two hour show.

• Now back to the show. This should be fun.
• Lil Jon is calling Gary Busey a crazy man? That makes me laugh.
• Wow, the ladies' signs are VERY small.
• Okay Gary Busey actually said "Where the pepperoni lands that where the miracle will happen!." If that wasn't weird enough hearing Lil Jon, Jon Rich and Busey singing Save A Horse, Ride a Cowboy was insane. Of course Jon Rich knows how to cause a distrubance, he's a member of the country music mafia.
• Two problems I see with the ladies. There isn't enough energy in front of the store and also Dionne is SO slow on the register. Whoa, Dionne just got into Star's face.

Well at least that was longer round of action before the next break. You ask me, the guys are going to win this task.

• I totally want to goto the guys' pizza place. Meatloaf is a really nice guy. Lil Jon, Meatloaf, Lil Jon and Richard Hatch keep bringing in the money.
• It scares me the Star Jones has so many true friends. Curtis Stone? Wow. Whoa, he's picking the best pizza and the winner, by his opinion will get an additional $35,000.
• Curtis Stone is going to send the best pizza to the FDNY?!?! That's HUGE!
• $40,000 for pizza?!? Whoa! Curtis picked the girls' pie? Wait, she's closing the doors?!?!?! Wait what!?!? I know they need to make 40 pies for the $40,000 they got for delivery and then they will get the $35,000 for the FDNY pies, but that's crazy. Huge risk.

Top of the hour break. I'm really hungry.

• Of course delieveries are going slow. THERE'S TRAFFIC IN NEW YORK!
• Lil Jon and Jon Rich are now delievery men. That's awesome.
• Okay David, you should know that your daughter is on set when you called her.
• The ladies are SCREWED! They have no chance of making these delieveries on time with this traffic.

Well, the first boardroom is going to be interseting that's for sure. On another break.

• And we are back. 40,000 for ONE PIZZA?!? That's insane.
• 15 minutes left? "Pizza makes you put on your clothes like you're a fish"-Gary Busey. What the hell does that even mean? Wow David did get his daughter off the set for $1000. Can Jon Rich stay on this show for a long time? He's hysterical.
• Time is up. The girls didn't make it to the firehouse. Closing the door early is going to backfire on Star. That's my personal opinion.

Last break before the boardroom.

• Alright, to the boardroom we go.
• Star totally put over Niki Taylor's pizza flipping.
• Liza and Star are going at it. This is great.
• LMAO! Gary's cell phone went off in the middle of the boardroom. That was great. Fucking classic.
• Gary explaining his Pepperoni Profit gimmick is hysterical. That is going to be REALLY hard to top this season.
• "What we did better is what we did on the day of the task."-Gary "What do you mean?"-Donald "It means we did better on that day,"-Gary. Quoting Gary Busey is going to be the most fun part of this season.
• Jose just called out Richard saying he was lucky to have such an all star cast of characters to help him out. This will  get interseting.

Back to the break. I need to breathe, I am laughing way too hard.

• Back to Jose and Richard. David is now calling out Richard. Seriously, Rich pushed David out of the way, so what? That doesn't change anything.
• Meatloaf is now calling out Richard for being short and pretty much an asshole.
• Okay I'm going to get sick of Jose saying that he speaks the truth. I know he's an honest person, do you have to repeat is over and over again?
• Ouch. They are really upset about missing the $35,000 at the firehouse.
• Men's team: $54,104
• Women's team $115,268
• Whoa! That's a murdering. Star got $169,372 for her charity.
• Awww! Donald gave Nikki the $35,000 from Familia because she was the best player on the team.

Someone on the men's team will be fired after the break. My bets are on Richard or David.

• "I think he wants to beat the  shit out of you"-Donald to Richard about Jose. That was funny.
• Okay Richard is putting his foot further and further into his mouth. Stop talking shit about David. You are digging your own grave.
• Celebrity Apprentice is harder than Survivor. Of course it is.
• What a shock, Richard is bringing back Jose and David.

Last break, goodbye Richard.

• David a delicate whiner according to Richard. Nice!
• For some reason, David is looking at Jose like he's his big brother.
• David is officially the first one fired. Wow, I actually didn't expect that.

This was alot of fun, I must admit. I am SO looking forward to this season. Probably won't be live-blogging that much but this was a fun ride tonight. I hope this all made some sense.
