'The Celebrity Apprentice' Recap: The Final Four Are Revealed
TV

Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger has terminated three more contestants in the fifth episode of the reality game show on Monday, January 30.

AceShowbiz - "The Celebrity Apprentice" returned with the fifth episode titled "I'm Going Full Ballmer". The episode began with both Team Arete and Team Prima arriving at the Staples Center to meet Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and Patrick Schwarzenegger, who were joined by Steve Ballmer, the owner of Los Angeles Clippers.

The first task was to make a high energy and high intensity promotion for the Clipper brand that would fire up the Clipper nation. The teams would be judged on overall creativity of their presentation.

Team Arete's strategy was to use Steve's own words to win over the arena. Boy George, who was moved to Team Prima, was asked to write a song that would make the fans want to rise up. Meanwhile, Lisa Leslie offered to rap a song. However, both teams struggled to design their T-shirts.

When he came to see Team Arete, Steve was impressed as he said to the team that the idea was nice. But Steve told Matt Iseman that Steve was a little shameless by what Matt did. Meanwhile, Patrick was checking the idea of Team Prima and surprised that Lisa, the WNBA star, was going to rap instead of doing something related to basketball.

Team Arete was not sure about how well they did while Lisa was sure that Team Prima nailed the performance. However, in the boardroom Patrick told Team Prima that it was a mistake to not have Lisa doing something with the basketball. Steve agreed as he said that it would have been special for the crowds to see her doing something for them.

The teams then presented their T-shirt's designs and awaited for the result. Steve said the winner was Team Prima. Lisa got $75,000 for her charity of Semper Fi Fund. On Team Arete, both Matt and Ricky Williams agreed that Laila Ali should go home since she was sick and didn't participate that much. Ricky also blamed Brooke Burke-Chavet because she was in charge of the T-shirt design and that was the category they lost.

Patrick said that Ricky was the one who got the blame as project manager. Brooke felt Ricky should be fired as well because he didn't give their team enough creativity. The advisers then chose to terminate Ricky. The remaining celebrities were shocked that Ricky was let go as they thought it was Laila who would be terminated.

On the next day Leeza Gibbons, the winner of last season's "The Celebrity Apprentice", joined Arnold and Patrick as the special boardroom adviser. The second task was to sell new gym equipment through QVC. The teams would be presented with four pieces of equipment and they must negotiate for the one piece they would like to sell. They had to set the price for their item, create the pitch and they would be given 8 minutes to sell their exercise equipment live from Muscle Beach.

The project manager for Team Prima was Carson Kressley. He was going to be the frontman while Lisa would be the producer. The team used Boy George's story about weight loss as the front story. They also went with a price of $99.99 to attract the customers.

Team Arete's project manager, Brooke, thought she and Laila could work well as co-hosts because they gave compliment to each other nicely. Brooke then chose Matt as the producer. The team had an issue with their shipping and they set the price of the equipment at $109.99 in hopes of making extra money.

During the presentation, Patrick and Leeza were impressed by Carson and Boy, whose weight loss story increased the sales. Meanwhile, Burke didn't have game plan for Team Arete and made Matt worried about it. But thanks to Laila, the team managed to boost the sales.

In the boardroom, both teams thought they did the best. Leeza then revealed the sales result with Team Prima selling 88 products for a total of $8,798 while Team Arete sold 156 products for a total of $17,158. So Burke won $50,000 for her favorite charity Operation Smile.

Team Prima was slammed for missing a huge opportunity by not having Lisa on camera. Arnold also blamed her because she should have left the production truck to take over, but she put it all on the project manager. Arnold then fired Carson as that was his second time losing as project manager, as well as Lisa, who lacked attack and was returning for the fifth time to the boardroom. The remaining contestants include Brooke Burke-Chavet, Matt Iseman, Boy George and Laila Ali.
