I agree with moon. Why would Trump bother setting someone up to fail. It's his show, and I'm sure the rules are pretty explicit about Trump being able to fire anyone he wants to for any reason.

I don't like your hair..You're Fired.
You are a crappy leader..You're Fired.
You lost Jessica Simpson..You're Fired.

If he wants Kelly to win, he's gonna win regardless, he doesn't have to stage a fake cancellation to hire Kelly. Even if the Chick's event comes off better and Kelly's goes into the toilet, it'd be easy for Trump to say,
"You're event sucked, but I really liked the way you handled the adversity..You're Hired"

Of course it's fixed, it's one dude picking the winner for reasons only he really knows.
