The Celebrity Apprentice Finale (The Winner)!

I would start the review about the last episode of the season by stating how strong the photo above is.

But,

I have to give Ivanka all the credits for looking astonishing at the charity even, I guess I really like her, not just because of her looks of course (before Mr. Trump kicks my butt like what happened with Gene) but also for standing out at the last board room and showing how business smart she is. I couldn’t help it but I do like her very much.

Down to business

2 hours season finale was the continue of the last episode and managing the last task, I can say that the competition was clean and unique, however only one can be chosen at the end, and after all that happened not just this episode but throughout the season, I think Piers was the winner for a lot of reasons.

Everyone got involved even Gene who was in business filming in Japan, and all said what they thought, but Mr. Trump made his decision and chose Piers.

Congratulation Piers on winning so many tasks, supporting a great charity and overall winning the first ever Celebrity Apprentice title.

Here is the last episode exclusive summery from the blog:

Piers Morgan becomes the first Celebrity Apprentice!

This season’s finale gave viewers three great experiences in one. First, it showed highlights of the season. Second, it delivered blow-by-blow coverage of Piers and Trace as they completed the season’s final task. And third, it took us live to the boardroom, where Mr. Trump named Piers the winner. What a blockbuster show!

Prerecorded footage showed Piers and Trace as they battled to win this season’s final task - a charity auction. It was interesting to see how both men made good on the strategies that they developed for winning the task. Trace held the line against the Backstreet Boys’ unreasonable requests and got them to present an excellent stage show. And Piers’ strategy work beautifully too. His high-end contacts spent tremendous sums of money at the auction. Howard Lutnick, CEO of Cantor Fitzgerald, paid $200,000 for two of the prizes. And Simon Cowell was happy to bid $100,000 to go shopping with Ivanka Trump.

When the auction earnings were totaled, Piers had brought in $376,000, to Trace’s $64,000; Trace had sold $38,000 worth of tickets to the event, compared to $12,000 for Piers. Yet the competition was about more than money. When the two men got to the boardroom firing (held live onstage this week), Mr. Trump also explored how well they had handled all the aspects of the charity event. Mr. Trump then brought the season’s other celebrity contestants onto the stage and polled them about whether Piers or Trace should win.

Finally, both contestants made compelling appeals to Mr. Trump about their charities. Trace explained the anguish that a food allergy had caused his family, and spoke compellingly about the importance of the Food Allergy & Anaphylaxis Network. And to drive home the importance of the Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund, Piers invited wounded veterans onto the stage. Their appearance brought tears to the eyes of many members of the live audience.

With only a minute remaining in the show, Mr. Trump showered Trace with well-deserved praise for being such a wonderful human being. But Piers’ stellar performance in every task of the season won the day - and Mr. Trump named him Celebrity Apprentice.

This season, Celebrity Apprentice raised more than $1 million for the contestants’ charities - a sum that Mr. Trump augmented with an additional $250,000 of his own.

My thoughts:

I decided to come up with all of my thought and lessons learned from the entire season in the next post. Hope you like it.
