Nice Girls finish last

Summary:

Each team was given contact details for 5 celebrities

The challenge was to meet with the celebrities, pitch them and get a celebrity experiences to auction off at the Sotheby's celebrity auction for the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation

For the first time, it was obvious the teams could drop the Trump name since at one point Regis actually said "Trump would have 10 ideas to fire off at me"... right before Tammy suggested that he auction off a vacation weekend with Regis - at his own cost.

Project Mgrs: Omarosa – Protégé, Bill - Versacorp,

Protégé's celeb list

The cast of Bravo’s “Queer Eye for the Straight Guy”
Kate White (Editor-in-Chief, Cosmopolitan Magazine)
Russell Simmons (Founder of Def Jam Records, hip-hop pioneer)
Isaac Mizrahi (Fashion designer, Entertainer)
Nicole Miller (Fashion designer)

Note: any reason they got 4 fashion related celebs?
Versacorp's celeb list

Carson Daly (NBC’s “Last Call with Carson Daly”)
Regis Philbin (“Live with Regis and Kelly”)
Rocco DiSpirito (NBC’s “The Restaurant”)
Ed Bernero (Executive Producer and Co-Creator of NBC’s “Third Watch”) along with several “Third Watch” stars.
Tiki Barber (New York Giants running back)

Note: any reason they got 4 TV show related celebs?

Winners: Versacorp - they made $40,000, Protégé made $35,000
Reward: Doing Good. (and going drinking on their own dime)
Note: isn't it interesting that the $5K difference made this seem close... but in past challenges the "huge" spreads were a couple of hundred bucks?
3 in Boardroom: Omarosa, Heidi, Jessie
Fired: Jessie Connors
Boardroom antics:

Both George & Carolyn make strong statements against Omarosa’s ability to lead.

Omarosa “compliments” Heidi - No class, unprofessional…

Trump says Omarosa treated Jessie – like a “dog”

Trumps gives both Heidi & Jessie a chance to defend themselves. Jessie is subtle in her condemnation of Omarosa, saying you need “character.” Then Heidi has “character” and Omarosa is a nice person.

Trumps is so amazed that neither Heidi nor Jessie got pissed off or said they disliked Omarosa for her rude behaviour.

Protégé gossip:

How interesting was it to see the shock on everyone's faces when Omarosa walked back in... should be even more interesting this week. Will she pull a "Sam", and wait to be welcomed - I doubt it.

Jessie on camera reviewing "Manage your Uncertainty" (which I couldn't find anywhere) Perhaps she should have been reading... Nice Girls Don't Get teh Corner Office Though last week's performance didn't really support that either.

Versacorp gossip:

Anyone else think Tammy is almost worth throwing a challenge to get rid of?

Why aren't they telling her she's being an embarassment? Poor leadership strategy... geeze.

Nick & Amy - a kiss on the cheek may be quite continental - but "shushing" ain't a girl's best friend.

Actually, Russell Simmons owns Phat Farm, which is a major urban-fashion line.
