Episodes
Episode 1: The Wolf in Charge of the Hen House Task 1 Air Date: March 3, 2013 Prologue: Trace Adkins and Bret Michaels are called out to pick their teams because they were the most successful on their previous appearance of the show. Trace Adkins forms what will become Plan B, and Bret Michaels forms what will become Power. Task Scope: Teams must run their own meatball shop and sell them. Power project manager: Brande Roderick Plan B project manager: Trace Adkins Judges: Donald Trump, Piers Morgan, Ivanka Trump Winning team: Plan B Reasons for win: Despite a slow start by having the shop closed to the public, the big-check donors donated tremendous amounts of money, with the team earning a grand total of $419,539. Losing team: Power Reasons for loss: Even though they earned the $20,000 bonus (from sponsor VeriFone) from their appearance on Live! with Kelly and Michael, their donations came up well short. Despite Brande Roderick believing that the team had raised around $350,000, when the actual totals were verified by the Trumps they added up to just $250,533. Sent to boardroom: Brande Roderick, Bret Michaels, La Toya Jackson Fired: Bret Michaels – for competing on the show instead of advising Donald Trump in the boardroom like the rest of the past winners. Trump also disliked the fact that he allowed Brande Roderick to be the project manager and fell way short of the amount he claimed he could bring in, although Brande could not clarify exactly how much money each teammate raised, due to Omarosa's poor book-keeping. Notes: At the beginning of the show, Trump called out Bret Michaels and Trace Adkins, as the two most previously successful candidates from the line-up, and had them choose the teams, with Bret forming what would eventually become Power, and Trace picking the candidates who would form Plan B. On Plan B, Stephen Baldwin initially volunteered to be project manager, but quickly ceded the position to Trace after he revealed some of his particularly rich contacts, while on Power, Bret and Brande Roderick both argued for some time over which of the two should be project manager, eventually leading to Brande literally getting down on her knees and begging to be the project manager, which led to her officially being the project manager. This was the first project manager victory for Trace Adkins in his two Celebrity Apprentice appearances. Other past Celebrity Apprentice candidates such as Niki Taylor and Paul Teutul, Sr. showed up to give donations to the two teams. John Rich, while not appearing himself, also gave a substantial donation to Power by way of La Toya Jackson. Future Celebrity Apprentice candidate Gilbert Gottfried donated to Plan B's store. There was a strong argument between Piers Morgan and Omarosa in the initial boardroom, continuing the feud that had started in the first Celebrity Apprentice season. Virtually every member of Power stepped up to defend Omarosa however, with Dennis Rodman and Claudia Jordan in particular speaking strongly in her favor. Prior to the task result being announced, Stephen Baldwin openly admitted that he had held out on his contacts and brought in no money whatsoever. Trump, Ivanka and Piers were stunned by this admission, and Trump indicated that if Plan B had lost, Stephen would have been fired. Despite being an all-stars edition Bret Michaels was the only previous winner on the show. Trump pointed out several times during the episode, including at the final boardroom verdict, that he actually wanted Bret to be a judge on the series along with the other past winners instead of competing again. Bret Michaels responded by saying that he couldn't raise money for charity if he was a judge. After Bret Michaels was fired, Trump strongly criticized Brande Roderick's lack of control over the team, lack of knowledge of what was brought in (which she delegated to Omarosa), and the fact that she brought back La Toya Jackson instead of Omarosa, adding that the only reason she avoided dismissal was his policy of never firing whoever makes the most money in a given task. Trump called out the Power members over their false claims over how much money each member was responsible for bringing in, after they gave him numbers that were so wildly over-inflated that Power's total would have been almost $310,000, were they telling the truth. Omarosa alone was then asked for who brought in what, but while closer to the actual total her estimate was also off, as her total added up to around $265,000. Since Bret Michaels was fired, there are no more Celebrity Apprentice 3 contestants (Bret was the only competitor from Celebrity Apprentice 3). Mr. Trump repeatedly throughout the episode stated that Bret Michaels should not be a contestant on this season, leading to Bret being fired after the first task, causing everyone to think that Mr. Trump planned this firing throughout the episode. Bret Michaels would be the only candidate to not serve as Project Manager this season.
Episode 2: Just as Simple as Making Soup Task 2 Air Date: March 10, 2013 Task Scope: Team members must create a 3D interactive photo experience for Universal's marketing campaign. Power project manager: Omarosa Plan B project manager: Dee Snider Judges: Donald Trump, Donald Trump Jr, Eric Trump Winning team: Power Reasons for win: Even though the brand messaging was poorly given by having the "Orlando" part of "Universal Studios Orlando" put in a position where it was illegible, their creativity of making it all about the films and characters made it very precise and not about the celebrities. The overall construction quality of their experience was also judged to be far better than Plan B's effort. Losing team: Plan B Reasons for loss: Even though they loved the slogan, they didn't like the simplicity of the project and that they disliked that they had cardboard cutouts of the celebrities, who were stood nearby in exactly the same clothing they had on the cutouts, meaning that passers-by were more interested in the actual celebrities. On top of that, the Universal executives felt that the display was generally poorly executed and cheap-looking, and that the specific celebrities would have very little appeal to the theme park's main target audience of children. Sent to boardroom: Dee Snider, Gary Busey, Stephen Baldwin
