Celebrity Apprentice

The ladies of ASAP are up one and ready to go two for two with the next installment of Celebrity Apprentice. The challenge is to write a children’s book based on one of the team members and perform it for an audience of 4 and 5 year olds.

So, Mr. Trump makes the teams select Project Managers on the spot. The teams select – Meatloaf for Backbone (Men) and Lisa Rinna for ASAP (Women).

Lisa starts off saying she doesn’t want the position but feels pressure from the group. NeNe shares that they think Lisa is a weak link and they figure to get rid of her now instead of later so that’s why they want Lisa as Project Manager.

The guys figured that since Meatloaf is a comedian he would make the best Project Manager for this challenge. In addition, his charity is for children.

The guys get right to it and put Mark McGrath and John Rice on the writing of the book. Little John is the person of focus…using super hero as the star.

The ladies have a few more challenges in selecting a person on the team as the focus and a concept. There were quite a few moments of confusion and simply no strong leadership at the table.

Can you beat the celebrities? Divide into teams of 4, choose a project manager and create a children's book of your own. You will be rated on Originality, Age Appropriateness and Presentation. Succeed and your team will be rewarded. Fail and you might hear the dreaded words: 'YOU'RE FIRED!'

Can we learn any real lessons about the business world from the Apprentice?
