It still doesn't even compare to the nastiness spewed by Joan over the course of this show... in my books anyways.. not even close Can't imagine any sane "celebrity" wanting to do the next show.. trainwreck.

<76> Spirit of charity? Don't we feed and care for our OWN family before others? If you have extra, that's fine, but I'll bet everything I have that not a single person here would say they would feed strangers while their own family goes hungry. It's essentially the same thing that Annie did, IMO. There are SO many needy in our own country.

Blaine Trump (Donalds sil) is vice chair of Joans charity. Did Joan actually "quit" during the course of this show? were those her words?? or did she just say she wouldn't be in the next day after Melissa exit.. I can't remember. I wonder why Natalie, Tionne and Khloe weren't there. Did Annies team have a Auction item from Natalie or was that Joan?

I missed the first hour, but my favorite part of the show last night was when Tom Greene was in the limo with Annie and he told her that all she ever talks about is Joan, that she's obsessed. I thought Annie looked like a fool once again bringing up how Joan caused the designer to quit. I'm so, so, so glad Joan won.

Cinna, it was Annie's team that had the auction item from Natalie. And the ironic thing is Phil Helmuth bid $25,000 on it. Phil Helmuth is the poker player Natalie tried to get to go against Annie in one of the earlier tasks.

Thank you Cinnamongirl. I'd been trying all season to figure out Donald's blind devotion to Joan. And there it is. <76> I never cared about Joan Rivers one way or the other. Back in the day I found some of her zingers funny. When she morphed into the red carpet/QVC career, I found her pathetic. And now that I have seen her on Apprentice, I find her contemptible. And I have been a big fan of Apprentice. They would really have to stack the cast with people I like for me to even consider watching it again. And since the cast is usually B listers and under, it isn't likely I will. By the way who were all the great celebrities Joan had at her party? I was trying to weigh on two hands Kathy Griffen who I like and Joe Frazier who is an icon. Hmmmmm.

Uh oh. I am not finding last night's show at nbc.com. I hope it is just a time thing, taking longer to get a three hour finale up and not that they are not going to show it. At least I did manage to watch the first hour and fifteen minutes last night.

Glad I never bothered to watch this show. I can't stand Joan Rivers (or Melissa). I refuse to watch anything those two are on.

AND Joan has a new show coming to TV produced by the same producer of The Apprentice, Mark Burnett.

<76> I haven't heard if anybody has been making the talk show rounds today? Or if it was a topic on any show. I was at the clinic today for treatment which is normally this really quiet place, soft smiles, looks of concerns etc. OMG these women were cracking me up today, they were all wound up over this show. It was pretty anti Joan for the most part, but mainly very anti-Trumpster since most thought it was all set up from the beginning.

Well, I laughed out loud when Dennis Rodman did the thing with the phone... "we're standing behind you and" I had to back up and watch it again!

I laughed even more when Annie replied "I'll have to call you back" or something to that affect. I wondered then if she was so caught up in what she was doing that she didn't even realize it was Rodman.

I think Joan was to be on The View (or they were going to talk about it..) Only reason I know is I looked on my DVR to see if I could get the results of the show and saw something about winner Joan on The View. I didn't actualy WATCH The View. I saw a huge change tonight.. Annie didn't stop saying "I" a lot, but she actually said "Joan" or "Joan Rivers" a lot more! She really WAS obsesse, as Tom Green told her "all you do is talk about Joan Rivers". Other than Brande, Annie's team seemed unhappy with the situation, but they still pulled off some tasks for her. I am puzzled that with a bloated three hour show, they never got into some deatils, like wasn't it cool that Hershel got one person to just buy all the tickets and then they could turn around and give them away?? And why wasn't Annie pissed at the AGENCY for leaving her in the lurch? Could it be that the agency was not only upset with Joan but with Annie as well? But even if that wasn't the case, it was the agency that failed to keep a commitment, or two commitments. Joan was also left in the lurch but handled the aftermath much better and seemed more interested in getting the venue set up, rather than feeling a personl insult. I'm also surprised (unless I fast forwarded through it) that they didn't advertise some deal on those picture frame things. Such a travesty to have a one hour TAR finale and a THREE hour Trumpathon finale. I couldn't believe many things Trump said to some people and how he rudly cute off those who weren't entertaining him enough and how he continued to objectify Brande and how that didn't seem to bother her. And what a slap to Khloe that she wasn't even allowed to be at the finale. Pfft. Trainwreck, indeed. But if Annie had won, I was going to just delete this off my DVR. Now I've ff/watched and deleted.

The singer, Tionne? who was fired when she offered to go back into the board room with Melissa wasn't there either, or at least I didn't see her. Thank heavens they didn't ask andrew clay anymore questions, it was bad enough that they let dennis ramble his standard 8 lines.

If I thought for one minute the drama was real I would probably be dissappointed in the show BUT I believe it was vastly staged, scripted, and promoted by production/The Donald all for "good TV" I wonder if The Donald knows how antiquated he appears and how sexist he behaves. Khloe must go because she has a DWI...but he just loves him some Rodman and The Donald is "so proud" of Dennis. Did you all notice the music playing when The Donald came down the aisle??? Like he was the champion/saint/all powerful one all rolled into one...lol I loved when Brandi called him "Donald" instead of Mr. Trump....he looked a little surprised by that. The Donald definetly kept Annie and Joan because they caused the most interest/drama in the show and they were like the showdown at OK Corral at high noon. The ladies played their part well. I HATED that Annie's friends were put down and called names........that was way out of line....those people gave generously of their money to a great charity. Most of all, the Donald sounded like a fool when he introduced Trace Adkins and saying what a star Trace was because of Celebrity Apprentice....BS! Trace Adkins has been a huge country star for years now. I am sure tho that his appearance on CA helped his charity.

As I was channel surfing tonight, I saw that Joan Rivers was on QVC hawking her Celebrity Apprentice collection. She was selling copies of all of the jewelry and sunglasses that she wore during this season of The Apprentice! LOL

Loved that Annie touts herself as being the best in the world at not letting people get to her, staying cool, and reading everyone. Yet she could not handle Joan, Tom or Trump... She couldnt keep herself from letting Joan get completely under her skin and torch her cool, Tom did it too, in the van, and she completely misread Trump when she thought she was the winner. So much for reading people! She was excellent however at running in front of Joan, bashing her and almost knocking her off her feet, at the end , to be center camera like a diva.. I envision that she will be so pissed that Joan won, that she will definitely say to someone:" I can't believe that b*&%h won.. I cant believe I had all my friends give all that money for nothing!", forgetting altogether that charity was involved..

JuJu did they finally upload the episode? If not let me know and I'll PM you a site that has the full thing up (no commercials, excellent quality). I'd DIE without that site, esp on nights like last night. Before I double checked the Celebs (some were quite forgettable ie that golfer) I thought Khloe Kardashian was the only one to blow off the show. While I really am not a Kardashian fan, and having a boyfriend killed by a DUI obviously I'm somewhat biased on the topic. BUT all that said and I feel that Trump really crossed a line for the manner in which he fired her. If it was real life she could have sued him and won a chunk of his fortune. She was doing a pretty good job I thought. Combine that with how he kissed Dennis Rodman's fanny last night when he clearly was out of control and drining on the show while doing tasks, and well, let's say even though I'm not a Trump fan and can't help but watch the show, every year he gives me a reason to dislike him more and respect him less. BTW must wave and Donut. Been WAY too long hun....since BB eh? And you hit the nail on the head with Annie. She showed no heart in my eyes that this was for charity. It was all about the win. While Joan was no angel, at least she showed compassion and heart. Annie just showed fangs. I actually felt she and Melissa were a perfect pair of bookends...and I've had enough of both of them to pretty much last me forever! And wonder if Joan goes at that pace typically. It really is impressive. She runs better in heels at her age than I can do now. Of course she doesn't have my aching back but still. Ok it's late I"m rambling time to shut up lol

Do refugees come here illegally? It almost sounded like that when she was describing her charity. Did she ever say why she chose that charity. I always enjoy hearing why people pick a charity to support. I always enjoy hearing the stories which usually revolve around a personal reason for choosing. I am a huge animal supporter and give to animal charities, some might feel I should give to humans before animals so I understand why some feel we should give to USA charities before foreign ones. I respect everyone's opinion on how they feel about the issue.

Annie blogs final episode, more to come. http://www.annieduke.com/2009/05/final-episode-of-celebrity-apprentice-trump-slowrolls-me/ "I want to thank Mr. Trump for the way he hired Joan Rivers. In the previous 7 seasons of The Apprentice he has never done anything but pointed to the winner and said “You’re Hired.” Last night, instead, he looked at me and, after asking if I knew what he was going to say, and said, “Annie, You’re Fired.” Nice slowroll. Good game, sir." She's correct about this. Explains why she thought she'd been hired.

I saw Brande on The Sean Hannity Show on Fox News last night. She was on a panel with two others discussing Obama's budget or something. I wasn't really watching until I heard Hannity say her name and took a look and there was our Brande. It was near the end of the segment so missed the discussion, but he did refer to her as a businesswoman. Wish I could find it on YouTube.

Was it for charity or going straight into her pockets?
