Last week, The New Celebrity Apprentice teased a massive elimination was coming.
In this week’s edition, four celebrity candidates were terminated by former California Governor and New Celebrity Apprentice host Arnold Schwarzenegger. Numerous contestants were up for elimination that ranged from Brooke Burke-Charvet, who failed to recruit her husband to cooperate with her on Prima’s Kawasaki campaign; Ricky Williams, who has already two losses in the Boardroom under his belt; and Lisa Leslie, whose presence has polarized teammates on both groups.
Besides the triple elimination, it was also teased that one of our candidates went rogue during a task. Who were the eliminated candidates? Read on to find out!
The teams met Arnold at the beautiful Hermosa Beach. He assigned them to work on a project for Lorissa’s Kitchen. Larissa wanted to create an interactive PR stunt on the beachfront. Guest advisor Bob Harper advised them to focus on the high protein aspect of the task. Brooke Burke-Charvet and Lisa Leslie stepped up to the plate to be this task’s Project Managers.
As Team Arete claimed their space, Boy George wanted to tell his story about healthy choices, and Matt Iseman advised them to make sure that their people do not visit Team Prima’s booth. Meanwhile, Lisa and the rest of Team Prima decided to lower their promotional space’s walls but were in disagreement if Vince Neil’s beach bikini models would lose their audience.
While Team Arete decided to use Brooke Burke Charvet’s “Booty Burn” class as their interactive activity, Team Prima decided to use two different workouts with a super simple kitchen. Lisa was showing her true colors as a domineering taskmaster, while Chael declared that Lisa felt threatened by Carson Kressley stepping up to help his team.
When Bob Harper visited Team Arete, The Biggest Loser host was surprised to hear that Brooke was playing it safe with this task and wanted her to bring the pizzazz. Meanwhile, Lisa lost her team’s trust as they stated that they were confused with the WNBA player’s ideas and talked badly behind her back and “declared her the worst boss.”
At Hermosa Beach, Team Arete brought the energy in their box. Brooke and Laila welcomed everyone and promoted Larissa’s Kitchen. I loved seeing all of the team unite and do the workout. Meanwhile, Carson and Chael tried to steal people to join Team Prima’s box. Chael started off with an MMA workout, while Porsha assigned them to do a booty buster workout. Finally, they stopped at Lisa’s table, where they learned about Larissa’s Kitchen and ended their experience Vince Neil’s selfie corner complete with bikini-wearing dancing girls. However, Patrick, Bob, and a few Team Prima members questioned the flow of their event.
Back in the boardroom, the Governor reminded them that they were at the halfway point and encouraged them to “Wake up and get tough.” Brooke stated that they enjoyed the authenticity of Lorissa’s Kitchen brand and stated that they were successful and enjoyable. However, Brooke took Ricky to task for not being so vocal on this task.
Larissa’s Kitchen stated that Team Arete won the task for being authentic to the brand. But because of the off-brand dancing girls, the party-like atmosphere, and chaotic energy, Team Prima would face Arnold, Patrick, and Bob in the boardroom!
Arnold asked Lisa if she lost control of her team. Meanwhile, Lisa threw Vince under the bus for the inclusion of the dancing girls. Chael blamed Lisa for the loss and the WNBA Player went after him for not being a team player. Lisa brought back Chael and Vince into the boardroom, and Arnold called out Vince for enjoying his $750,000 victory and not helping Lisa out. He also called out Chael for being all talk and no action. However, Vince stated that he should fall on his sword because the dancing girls did not meet the theme of the task. Therefore, Vince was terminated!
As Chael painted a target on his back, the teams went to Universal Studios Hollywood, and The Arnold assigned them to work on a job for The Wizarding World of Harry Potter. They were assigned to create a celebrity-related brochure for The Wizarding World of Harry Potter. Matt Iseman immediately elected himself to be Team Arete’s Project Manager, while Carson Kressley begrudgingly decided to be Team Prima’s Project Manager.
Carson and Porsha spearheaded their team’s campaign, but Lisa advised them not to ignore the Harry Potter fans. Meanwhile, Matt drove his team directly into the J.K. Rowling’s wizard world. However, his teammates were overwhelmed with this information. Laila advised Matt if they should target non-Harry Potter fans as well as hardcore aficionados, but the American Ninja Warrior co-host thought it was not necessary.
Matt called on one of his Los Angeles friends’ family to assist with their task. Unfortunately, Ricky, Laila, and Brooke had to do crowd control. Sadly, Matt gave into his inner child, and his team had a hard time getting him away from the attractions. Team Prima also had to deal with the stampede of park visitors and was worried about the quality of images.
On presentation day, Team Arete’s ambitious project caught the crowd’s attention. Matt was so into this project that Brooke had to reel him in. Meanwhile, Team Prima’s presentation was average and lost the attention of the crowd.
In the Boardroom, Matt revealed that he was the only Harry Potter fan on the team and admitted that Brooke had to reveal he had to pull him in. Also, Carson announced Chael’s dirty deed to the Governor and said that he was super uncomfortable with Chael’s wrong move. All three of his teammates were shocked by his actions, while Chael tried to defend himself but the Arnold furiously stated that he did not like cheaters and fired Chael on the spot.
Universal Studios Hollywood leaders were happy with Team Arete’s performance and declared them the winner. As Matt Iseman and his team went back to the Boardroom, the rest of the team had to prove why they were worthy of moving forward. Lisa and Porsha dueled over who should stay, but Arnold was tired of Porsha’s constant talking and lack of ambition and terminated her.
Next week, Steve Ballmer visits The New Celebrity Apprentice.
