2009 Celebrity Apprentice – Week 3
Tom Green Leads KOTU as the Teams Sell Wedding Dresses
Mar 17, 2009
Khloe Kardashian was the winning project manager from last week. As the episode opens, Khloe gives the money she won to Robert Shaprio, head of the Brent Shapiro Foundation for Alcohol and Drug Awareness. Khloe spoke of her own struggle with alcohol and in getting a DUI.
Next Challenge: Wedding Dresses
Donald Trump meets the groups at St. Bartholomew's Church in New York City to deliver the next challenge: to sell wedding dresses. The team that makes the greatest profit wins. Trump asks each team to choose a project manager on the spot.
Brande Roderick is chosen for the women's team. Since Tom Green volunteered to be project manager last week, he is the automatic choice for Team KOTU. Tom immediately gives Clint Black the challenge to raise $100,000.
Teams Call Celebrity Contacts
As Clint and Hershel Walker call up their contacts, Tom puts on a wedding dress and starts goofing around. Jesse James comes up with the idea of having a "red carpet wedding dress sale" with the dresses displayed on a red carpet. Tom stands in the street (in a wedding dress) to try and get people in his store.
Dennis Rodman goes to random people on the street and in bars to get encourage people to come check out their sale. Dennis drinks several vodka and cranberry drinks along the way.
Tom and Dennis Are No Shows
The next morning the guys show up for their task but Dennis and Tom are both missing. They call their rooms, and are told that Dennis is sick. They leave without them. Later, Tom eventually shows up, looking tired. It is apparent he was out drinking with Dennis the night before.
Team Athena Go For Their Third Win
Melissa Rivers calls up her friend, a wedding planner, to transform their space into a bridal shop. The call pays off, Athena's space is much more inviting than the men's store. However, by the middle of the day, KOTU's store has more people in it. Clint Black's contacts brought in $35,000. At the last minute, Hershel's contacts bring in over $16,000.
Joan Rivers encourages the women to stand on the street and recruit people to come in. Some even steal a few customers from the men's store. Annie Duke's poker friends come in and one buys a dress for $10,000.
Tom and Dennis Explain Their Strategy in the Boardroom
In the boardroom, Trump wants to know why Dennis wasn't standing out in front of the store in a wedding dress. Tom speaks up for Dennis by saying that he had an allergic reaction to a cat that was at a party they went to. Dennis then says the allergy was from a dog.
Women Easily Win Again
In the end, the men's team sold 21 dresses for $63,450. The women sold 22 dresses for $103,000. The women win a third round easily and Brande gets $167,000 for her charity.
Trump considers firing both Dennis and Tom, but fires Tom for his lack of management skills. Trump tells Dennis to try harder next challenge.
Next week: The men's team try and win for the first time in a video phone challenge. Tempers fly as Dennis gets in Clint’s face.
