TV IN HIGH HEELS: THE NEW CELEBRITY APPRENTICE RECAP FOR JANUARY 2, 2017
Since this season has a ton of athletes including Lisa Leslie, Laila Ali, Ricky Williams and of course The Govern-ator, I figured it would be a cool thing to cover on my site.
Hello and welcome to The NEW Celebrity Apprentice on NBC. Arnold Schwarzenegger is the new host, replacing President-elect Donald Trump. We have an all new location, all new celebrities and new advisors. It is an exciting time for the show and I am curious to see how the Govern-ator will do as host.
The celebrities: Laila Ali, Brooke Burke-Charvet, Eric Dickerson, Boy George, Matt Iseman, Carrie Keagan, Carson Kressley, Lisa Leslie, Jon Lovitz, Vince Neil, Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi, Kyle Richards, Chael Sonnen, Porsha Williams, Ricky Williams and Carnie Wilson.
The advisors: Tyra Banks – supermodel, producer, accomplished businesswoman and CEO of the Tyra Banks Company – and Schwarzenegger’s nephew, prominent entertainment attorney Patrick Knapp Schwarzenegger. Also on board: Warren Buffett and Jessica Alba.
Everyone walks in and is greeted by Arnold. I love his concept of making dreams come true. He plans to be tough but fair. He will terminate them one by one.
It is men vs. women as the teams are divided. We have Team Arete for the guys and Team Prima for the ladies.
Everyone meets the advisors and find out that Tyra want them to create a beauty experience for her new beauty line. Boy George is the PM for Arete, Porsha is the PM for Prima.
I am curious about this makeup line and love how she has a fresh and fierce look for people. six products, five minutes.
Ricky putting makeup on Carson is probably the best moment ever. The guys want to do man on the streets makeovers—with the makeovers being done by the athletes.
The ladies take advantage of the models they are given for their own makeovers.
The makeovers done by the guys is making me laugh.
Interesting that the ladies pray before the presentation. Nothing wrong with it, but never saw it done on here before. As for their presentation….it seems all over the place and confusing. All I got from it was that Tyra’s drink looks amazing and I want to know what it is.
The guys are much funnier and use their celebrity to push their product. It is nice seeing them have a sense of humor about it. May the fierce be with you may be my new favorite line.
In the boardroom, each team give the pros and cons about working together. Tyra tells each team what they did right and wrong on the task.
The men win and Boy George wins $50,000 for Safe Kids Worldwide.
The ladies now need to fight for a chance to stay on the show. Everyone states their case as to what they did and why they should stay. Why is everyone crying? Arnold is right, they are dodging more questions than Congress—LOL!
Carrie finally says Porsha should be the one fired because she is the PM. Porter finally defends herself and says Nicole (Snooki) and Carrie didn’t work as hard at first. She goes on and on until Arnold tells her to make a decision already. She brings back Nicole and Carrie. I hope Nicole stays, I’ve always had a soft spot for her.
When they are brought back into the boardroom, Porsha says Nicole should be fired. Nicole says Porsha is fake and she is terrified of speaking up.
Carrie thinks she gave 100% of what she could give. Arnold tells her she should have taken the extra step and shares how he did this when he was managing a gym at 19. The image of him running around to get people in the gym is awesome.
More arguing with the ladies and then Arnold terminates Carrie.
You’re terminated, get to the choppa’ is the new ‘you’re fired.’
The second hour kicks off with Nicole calling Porsha out on her BS. She also says she needs to stop being so nice.
Eric is not present due to a scheduling conflict. This task is for Trident. They need to make a song and video for their ‘Cherish Your Teeth’ campaign. Jon and Carnie are the PMs for this task. The winner gets $50,000 for their charity.
The teams toss around ideas and I am impressed that Jon is willing to listen to everyone’s ideas.
I like the idea of them using Laila being knocked out by Nicole’s smile.
The guys…..dogs, chicken wings, short shorts…..I am dying.
The women have issues with the video being sideways. Brooke finds it hilarious, but Carnie is not amused. Everything needs to be done all over again.
The guys watch the video and butt heads on how it should be edited.
The women’s video is awesome, but Lisa thinks they missed the different smile mark.
The execs watch the videos and deliberate. In the boardroom, each team gives the pros an cons of their video. They are also told what the exec thought of them.
The men win and Jon gets $50,000 for his charity Saint Jude.
The women stay in the boardroom, for one of them will be fired. Lisa tries to defend herself and says she wanted to do the different smiles, but Kyle thinks should have spoken up. She adds everyone liked her idea so she shouldn’t be fired.
Nicole doesn’t know who should be fired, so Arnold says it is putting her in danger.
Carnie picks Lisa and Nicole to come back. Lisa. Is. PISSED.
The ladies state their cases as to why they should stay. Lisa seems to defend Nicole a lot and says she worked her butt off, along with Porsha. She thinks it all falls on Carnie’s lap and Arnold agrees. He thinks she should have brought back Kyle and he terminates her….hasta la vista, baby. Carnie is pissed, but everyone thinks she should have owned her mistakes.
Tune in for more next week!
