You could see at the end of the episode that next week's teams are:

Joan: Clint, Hershell, & Melissa (shocking...)
Annie: Dennis Rodman, Tom Green, and Brandi.

If those are the teams then Annie is pretty much done. Rodman will get drunk, Tom Green will flitter around like a bird, Brandi will run around sayin "What should I do?" alot then flash her boobies thereby creating the highest ratings in T.V.

Joan Rivers winning Celebrity Apprentice is garbage. I'm really disappointed in that decision, Donald. I really believe that Joan Rivers manipulated the whole season with her constant berating and childish behavior. It's just funny that she insisted that her entire campaign was based on charity, honor and class. I saw none of it from her or Melissa Rivers.

Rhettzky · 05-11-2009, 07:25 AM

Totally agreed, last nights last half hour or so was hard to watch because you could tell they were setting up for a Joan win. I still don't understand how she ended up winning, she got completely blown away in that final challenge based on the main premise of the show... raising money for charity. Plus that was the second time Annie owned her.

Bullcrap!!! That BRUTAL decision makes me not want to watch next season.

Every time Joan opened her mouth I wanted to cover my ears. God! She was irritating and rude! Let Annie speak!

I felt so bad for Annie when he said "Annie, you're...." and she started clapping her hands like she won. And then Trump said "fired." She seriously deflated. Sad.

I thought it was a fairly fair decision and whats his name was right. Last year they based on four categories with the winner being decided on the majority.

This year they had 5 and Rivers won three. In terms of fundraising, yes Annie was fabulous at it, but it wasn't all about that, and Annie was so focused on the money that she dropped the ball in those other three categories. Rivers won based on a really well balanced party.

It wouldn't surprise me if Trump had pulled that party event planning stuff. Because no company would throw away that kind of marketing opportunity over the discussions that they had with Rivers which wasn't bad enough to cause this guy to take his ball and go home.

And really, Annie looked bad in her reaction to it. She also really didn't do a good job of managing her team, even though Rodman was awesome in that episode.

The right person to me won.

I think it was unfair with the "Celebrity participation"

All of Joan's celebrities were look-a-likes! And the most popular celeb was Kathy "D-list" Griffin (the only voice I hate more is Fran Drescher!)

Annie made a good point. If it was the real world, Joan would have been fired long ago for her inappropriate behaviour. At least Annie was professional and composed the whole season.

so true. It seemed like at the end donald was teaming up with joan and picking on annie also. Joan throws out some ridiculous "all your friends are in the mob" statement and donald says to annie "to be fair you cant guarantee they arnt in the mob" WTF?

Agreed..... I hated the ending and thought Annie was by far the best out of the bunch. Joan did not deserve to win, personally did not think she should even made the final two....

Agree totally, this was nothing more than a ratings move....

I am done with this show.

CaptainCrunch · 05-11-2009, 09:42 AM

I'd really like to see them go back to a non-celeb apprentice personally.

RW99 · 05-11-2009, 10:15 AM

You can tell who Trumps friends are (ie Joan and Dennis). Joan can talk a lot of nasty stuff about Annie. But Jessie calls Dennis stupid (who has honorable intentions) and Trump cuts him off saying it wasn't nice.

You could see Joan was going to win a mile away. They didn't discuss how Joan won three of the five criteria. They didn't discuss how the event planners pulled out because of Joan and the repercussions as a project leader.

Did Brian McKnight even say a word the whole show?

CaptainCrunch · 05-11-2009, 10:16 AM

I doubt that the event planners bailed because of Joan, this has Trump ratings all over it.

I dunno, Joan called the designers ideas ORDINARY, to a gay designer thats about as bad as it gets.

CaptainCrunch · 05-11-2009, 10:27 AM

If he's that thin skinned then this was the worst public relations move ever.

He was terrible, he had no ideas and no creativity.

Hey customers yell, they say terrible things under pressure. Joan didn't say near enough to make an ordinary business owner quit.

Funny, that was my favourite moment of the show. I loved seeing her fail.

CaptainCrunch · 05-11-2009, 10:52 AM

It was such a ralph wiggims moment. If you played back the your fired scene frame by frame, you could see exactly where her heart broke.

Table 5 · 05-11-2009, 12:40 PM

He totally didn't choo choo choose her.

Rhettzky · 05-11-2009, 01:01 PM

He bent her wookie?

StrayBullet · 05-11-2009, 01:20 PM

The fact that Trump said, "Your level of strength... your energy... Has been amazing! You really are a role model for so many people." to Joan really made me laugh. If my kids, or my nieces and nephews or Godchildren ever acted like spoiled brats, interrupted others while they were talking, spit out accusations and compared people to Hitler, I would be livid. Rivers' behavior during the entire task and especially the final boardroom was inexcusable.

Annie Duke's level of competition was the most consistent throughout the season. In spite of her constant self-admiration, Duke maintained a level of professionalism in the boardroom and was victorious in both of her weeks as PM. Regardless of losing 3 out of the 5 criteria, which were really more subjective than objective, Duke raised over $315,000 more than Joan Rivers in the final task. Was that really enough for Rivers to overcome being a 2nd rate competitor to Duke during the entire season?

I do agree with alot of people that this show was fixed for Joan and you could see it right from the get go. Even just something as simple as the way things were being said about the two, you could hear how NBC and Donald Trump were setting it all up for a Joan Rivers win. "An impressive $150,830 for Joan... Annie raised, $465,725, as expected."

Disappointment would be an understatement as to how this all turned out.
