The teams were tasked with creating entertainment for Medieval Times on this week's installment of "The Celebrity Apprentice" (Sun., 9 p.m. EST on NBC). James Lipton was on-hand, for some reason, as an official advisor, while Penn Jillette and Lisa Lampanelli were selected by their respective teams as project managers. Both were certainly logical choices, as they have plenty of experience putting on live shows.
While the men went the more traditional route, Lampanelli and the women concocted a strange "Real Housewives" scenario, with them vying for the affection of Donald Trump, played by Lampanelli. Trump Jr. came along and advised they ratchet up the violence considering the medieval theme. As it went along, though, Victoria Gotti got more and more upset, even threatening to defect to the men's team so she can have a more substantial role.
The men wanted to spotlight some of their male celebrities by letting the audience know who they were, so they had Clay Aiken sing a song, and Lou Ferrigno battle it out in the arena with Paul Teutul Sr. While everyone had roles in the performance, Ferrigno got laser-focused on the sword fight, wanting to practice it over and over again. Dee Snider actually broke a finger on his horse, but powered through the performance regardless.
The men scored more points with the audience, so it was the women who went to the Boardroom. Lampanelli brought Gotti and Dyana Mendoza with her, where she fought valiantly for her place in the competition. She showed passion and commitment, which Trump appreciated. He didn't see that same passion in Gotti, and so she was fired. That's two down for the women's team. They need to come back strong!
"The Celebrity Apprentice" airs every Sunday night at 9 p.m. EST on NBC.

Everyone's looking for the golden opportunity of mentorship from someone special, someone who cares and someone who is willing to take you by the hand and potentially lead you to greatness.
Just a normal holiday week in New York City. The lighting of the tree at Rockefeller Center. The Macy's parade. Another desperate ploy for publicity by Donald Trump.
Listening to the former N.Y. mayor yammer on about the president (always wrong) and the candidates for the GOP nomination (all great), it did feel like the next stop was Donald Trump and reality TV.
Americans enjoy the combativeness of their reality TV-inspired tactics, but the four-times bankrupt businessman and Alaskan half-term governor just don't have the movie-star moxie of our recent bigger-than-life American presidents.
Can you imagine Donald Trump going to Iowa like Newt Gingrich, to assure the social conservatives that his action-packed marital history is irrelevant now that he's found God? Nah.
How can anyone watch this show where trump always talking about the President and question his birth certificate. wendy williams always talking about this show. How much does she gets pay for talking about this show.

Victoria Gotti was a great personality- sorry to see her go.
Too bad this episode conflicted with the Acedemy Awards.
Don't under estimate the Real Housewives:
Remember ladies "Don't get mad...get everything."

Celeb Apprentice is so much fun this year. The Medieval episode was all kinds of fun and I'm looking forward to next week. It's fun getting to know these celebrities as real people apart from their stage personas.

But they get a good chance of getting some decent money and attention to a charity of their choice. Just think of it as a dunk-tank fundraiser for a cause.
