Video Summary
AI GeneratedCelebrities compete in high-stakes challenges to raise money for charity. After a hot dog sales task resulting in a firing, the contestants must create a 30-second commercial for the Pedigree Adoption Drive. Despite intense internal conflicts and clashing leadership styles, the \"Hydra\" team wins for their professional execution, leading to the eventual firing of Nadia for a lack of initiative.
This season on The Celebrity Apprentice.
I've issued a challenge to 14 of the world's most successful celebrities
to prove that they have what it takes to make it big in my world.
14 celebrities.
14 egos.
And more drama than even they can handle.
Their agents.
Where is the producer?
Gone are their assistants.
Don't tell me that.
Step right up ladies and gentlemen.
This time, the battle is to raise money for their favorite charities.
I present this check to you.
Are you kidding? $50,000?
Oh my god.
For their first task, the celebrities were split between men and women.
You're going to be selling hot dogs.
And use their celebrity Rolodexes to bring out the big dogs.
$5,000 for a water.
This man is giving us $10,000 in cash ladies and gentlemen.
But when the results came in.
Rates the total of $52,286.
The men handed the embarrassing loss.
That's a drubbing.
And Stephen's charity reaped the rewards.
The $69,324 is all going to go to your charity.
After a stunning defeat, Omarosa attacked Carol.
Now you're cowering from the fact that-
I'm not cowering at all.
Don't you ever even say that to me.
But Mr. Trump was disappointed at Playboy playmate Tiffany.
You didn't call.
You have to.
Forget about saving it for later.
There is no later.
Tiffany, you're fired.
We got to make a pact before we go in there.
We leave it in the boardroom.
Absolutely.
Deal?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Absolutely.
Is Tiffany okay?
She was very sweet.
I think in the end, what got her was that she held out with some of her contacts.
Did you guys get really mean?
We already made a pact to leave it in the boardroom.
No, we left it in the boardroom.
We left it in the boardroom.
You left it in the boardroom?
I don't think so.
No, absolutely.
Oh, Pierce.
Oh, Omarosa.
Keep drinking.
Tuck your shirt in.
Hey, hey.
Omarosa, Omarosa, don't be personal.
All right?
You made it personal.
We hammered you today.
We beat you into the ground.
Omarosa, the gobby, self-confident creature we saw in the first series of Apprentice
has been turned into a mutant.
The breath, the alcohol coming from your breath is embarrassing.
Two glasses of wine, dearie.
I'm not going to argue with an alcoholic.
Oh, shut up, Omarosa.
Go to bed.
I actually feel quite sorry for Omarosa.
She's now mixing it with the big boys and it ain't going to be pretty.
Embarrassing.
Sissy, come around here, girl.
Okay.
After the first task, I was project manager.
The funds raised were going to be given to the Carol Baldwin Breast Cancer Research Fund.
And for me, this calls for my mother.
She's a breast cancer survivor.
She's a very, very loving, caring woman.
On behalf of Celebrity Apprentice, I present this check to you.
$69,000.
Oh, that is so wonderful.
Isn't that something?
Oh, that's something.
Isn't that great?
I'm here to do my very best to raise funds and create more awareness to fight and battle
breast cancer.
Oh, thank you so much.
I want to tell the Donald, I want to thank him.
You will.
She loves what she does and I'm grateful to have an opportunity to support her in that.
The goal is that to ultimately find a cure and I believe that's possible.
I love you guys.
God bless.
Good morning.
This is Terry Lundgren.
He's the head of Macy's.
When it comes to marketing, nobody knows it better.
Now, who loves animals?
Tito?
Yes, sir.
No kidding.
Lennox, what do you guys love?
What do you like, pit bulls or what?
Cats.
Cats?
All right.
February is Pet Adoption Month.
Four million dogs are put into animal shelters every year.
Of the four million, only two million find a home.
Now, over here is Rob Liebowitz.
He's with Pedigree, wonderful company.
Thank you, Mr. Trump.
It's because of the four million dogs in shelters that we created the Pedigree Adoption Drive.
Your task is to create a 30-second TV ad for the Pedigree Adoption Drive
and we'll judge you on message, originality, and creativity.
Rob is going to make the choice,
but Terry, Ivanka, and myself will be looking over his shoulder.
Now, we're going to do something a little different.
I'm going to ask you to choose your project manager right now.
Real quick, guys, can we just huddle up?
Empresario, who is your project manager?
I'm the project manager.
Oh, very good.
Lots of luck.
As a TV producer, I'm the queen of the Latino market.
I know that my style can win.
Hydra, who's your project manager?
Gene Simmons.
It's a very logical choice, very logical choice.
He's a good marketer.
He's a real character, this one, I'll tell you.
He likes the women though, don't you, Gene, huh?
Are you hitting on your opponents, Gene?
Of course, it's my job.
That's your job, that's your life.
Forget about your job.
My greatest strength as a project manager is
I see the big picture.
I'm ruthless.
I'll fire anybody.
I'll fire Donald Trump.
Due to the fact that we're not playing for money,
the project manager of the winning team is going to be given
$20,000 for his or her favorite charity, okay?
Good luck.
Thank you.
Thank you, Mr. Trump.
Everybody stand up.
Can everybody just take big breaths, big deep breaths in
and just imagine white light coming through all of you
and white light coming out.
Everybody's got their own style.
You know, sometimes you're asked to take off your shoes
and everybody, you know, touch the ground.
And yeah, I mean, I live in Los Angeles,
so you can imagine how some meetings start.
Everybody hold hands.
We're getting ready to do something really great for animals.
If Ellie wants to stretch and yawn and kumbaya
and meditate in the middle of a task, what can I say?
That's how she likes to lead.
I'm just really not into that existential bull****.
Thank you for seeing us so quickly.
First of all, we'd love to know what's the whole gist
of what you're looking for.
We had a chance to go and meet with the client
to see what the client wants for us to do.
What's really important is that you get in.
When you buy Pedigree,
we make a donation to help dogs find loving homes.
Have you ever incorporated celebrities in your spots?
If you want to include celebrity in it, then that's great.
But what we really need are stories about dogs
done in emotional, compelling ways to get people to want to act.
We sat with the client for a good half an hour, 45 minutes.
Okay, I think we got it.
We so appreciate your time.
And I think that was a really great idea.
If we can get a finished 30-second commercial,
that's all done here.
You'll have enough time to show a dog,
to close in on a face, and very little else.
30 seconds is like nothing.
I made an executive decision.
We're immediately going to the studio.
The war room is the battlefield.
I didn't want to waste time meeting a Pedigree official.
I had to optimize every single second we had.
We need to understand what the commercial is,
before we know how to move forward.
I agree.
The most important aspect of the challenge
was to decide the concept for the film.
Because in the end, the winner was going to be the team
that came up with the best commercial.
Here's what I'd like to do.
Three celebrities.
Boom, boom, boom.
Dog, dog, dog.
We have this dog.
Lonely, abandoned, needs a home.
And at the end, it finds a home,
in the arms of a naked Lennox Lewis.
Here's what I'm thinking though.
See, you start out, he's holding the dog.
He's got on silk gloves.
You don't know who this is.
Hold on.
And you're going to pull back so slowly.
Here's my vision.
It's going to be a 30-second continuous shot.
I don't buy that visual,
but I don't want this to turn into...
You don't buy that visual?
May I speak?
Because I've worked in film for 20 years.
Have you?
Yeah.
I believe the commercial is
international championship superstar Lennox Lewis
loves animals.
If we film him holding a puppy,
that's heartstrings.
I like that.
For me, celebrity is a currency.
So however I can use that,
selling hot dogs, whatever,
I believe that you should maximize that potential.
Just really quickly, guys,
I need to know from the project manager,
who is directing the commercial?
It looks to be you.
Yeah.
Is that agreed?
Yes.
Okay.
I said to the guys,
if you make me director,
then I'm just going to go...
and get it going.
This isn't rocket science.
Once we have the 30-second done,
we can start mapping out a view.
Well, hello.
Hello.
Ah, hello.
Are we...
Are we hiring you to be our spokeswoman for...
Not this one.
I see.
Should we be sharing something with you?
Do you have a concept yet?
All right, but please, let me finish the thought.
She'll wait.
Can we tell Ivanka the concept?
Because she's keen to know.
Lennox is a world heavyweight champion superstar.
He's also an unlikely guy to use in a commercial like this.
There's a surprise factor.
Just a second.
No side conversations.
Just a second.
Pierce.
Okay.
We're using a lot of time.
Listen, we think it's terrific you're here,
but we've got work to do.
What wasn't smart was Gene Simmons to say,
I'll wait when I asked a question.
Being the female of the species yourself
does not mean that you are going to be talking
to your sisters about what we talked about.
To the women, because I'm a woman.
No, I have no interest in doing that.
That was not so smart.
I think that was probably
not a strategically intelligent thing to do
as I found it rather rude.
Coming up.
I need everybody out of my shot right now.
Back up, guys.
I need somebody to help me lock this up.
Your guys are killing me.
Lennox.
Come on, Vinny.
For whatever reason, Gene said,
get out of here now without any explanation.
I really think that it's going to come back
and bite him on his backside.
Take your fingers, Lennox,
and kind of pet right between her eyes.
All right, hold on, Gene.
Gene, Gene, Gene.
The goal for us in this week's task
was to create a 30 second community service ad
within an extremely tight time constraint.
Good girl.
All right, cut.
We got it.
That's great.
Is there an option to take Lennox to the shelter
photograph a dog,
where Lennox goes into the cage,
takes it out?
No.
No?
No.
Gene and Stephen were the producer and director.
They made it absolutely clear to all of us
they wanted to do everything on their own.
I need to go outside with Lennox Lewis right away.
B cameras ready?
I need the leash for the dog and Lennox.
Our director wanted a scene of Lennox
walking the dog happily down the street.
Ready?
Roll the camera.
Action.
When we went out on the street, traffic stopped.
I need everybody out of my shot right now.
Back up, guys.
Cars started to honk.
All right, here we go.
Okay, closing it up.
Come on.
It was Vinny on one end and myself on the other
trying to hold back the public.
Your guys are killing me.
It was a bit naive to think that we could get
a scene going on location.
Lennox, go.
Come on, Vinny.
As the producer, I made the smart decision
stay inside the studio.
You can control noise.
As soon as you leave there, you don't have any controls.
Here's my suggestion.
Go upstairs together and make an overview
of the different shots.
For whatever reason, Gene said,
get out of here now without any explanation.
I don't mean to be a jerk,
but I really think that it's going to come back
and bite him on his backside.
I'm ready.
We're ready.
You guys, shoot, shoot.
It's so good.
Just shoot it.
Nelly, do you need help with that?
I got it.
I know what I need to do to keep from being fired.
It was very strategic on my behalf
not to get involved in the creative.
That's it.
Move on.
You got it.
When we got to the studio and we started taping,
clearly, I took over.
That's great.
That's beautiful.
Perfect.
Are you shooting?
Because it's fabulous.
I'm very comfortable in that space.
I've been doing that many, many, many years.
And unless Gene Simmons pulls some rabbit out of the hat,
we should win.
Put her on your lap.
Kiss him a little bit.
Okay, we don't have to tongue kiss the dog.
That's a bit much.
Most people look at dogs in shelters and go,
I don't want to take that dog home.
So I wanted to show that those dogs were fabulous dogs
that circumstantially were brought to this place.
Okay, Nadia.
I definitely am going to need a medium and a small cake.
Okay, that's more important than the music.
Music we could do at six o'clock.
Nadia was not used to working for anybody.
Whatever I would tell her to do, she did.
But she didn't execute any of the things
I told her to do very well.
I just want to feed these people.
Is the food not here?
Yeah, let me get them.
They all tell me they don't know about the food.
I was supposed to order the food for the actors and the crew
and to be sure that everybody on the set was happy.
Just be there supporting the team.
In the real world, if I felt that Nadia wasn't good,
I'd be like, Nadia, you gotta go.
Okay, so I want to hear a lot of color in your voice,
but the whole point of the commercial is kind of like sad.
You know what I'm saying?
Nelly has asked me to sort of assist her in the writing,
the directing, sort of the producing.
And I'm going to be helping her with the actors.
I'll mix.
No, don't act, don't act.
You had it when we were here before.
Yeah, they did not sound right at all.
So I knew that I was going to really, really, really have to work.
I was a beauty queen in my day.
No, in my day, I was a beauty queen.
I was a beauty queen in my day.
I don't want to hear acting and I don't want to hear like sing-song.
I just want to hear it just really simple.
I had really no time to finesse their performances.
But, you know, hopefully we'll be able to figure out some way to make it work.
Let's record, Trace.
Everyone needs a champ in their life.
Someone that loves them and cares for them.
Take a beat after dogs.
Find a loving home.
Okay.
Stephen decided that Trace was invariably going to be our voice.
Sadly, there are two million homeless dogs in America waiting to be adopted.
As soon as I heard Trace's voice, it sounded like the voice of God.
Sadly, there are two million.
It's great stuff.
Okay, that's my favorite tip.
You're out of here.
Let me say goodbye to the guys.
Gene, we get to see the finished product before everybody else sees it.
That's a mistake.
When we hit the editing room, the entire team was asked to leave, go home, relax, watch cartoons.
And Stephen and I, we're going to stay there and put this thing together.
Before we disperse, could we just go through how you guys now visualize the commercial?
Probably not a good idea.
Gene and Stephen send us home.
I'm always wary when that happens because if things don't go brilliantly,
they can turn around and say, well, we were deserted by the other five.
Coming up.
I don't want to go home because of something that was wrong.
I run a multi-billion dollar company.
Let's be honest here.
We came down here because we thought there was a problem.
I couldn't sleep.
I wouldn't be able to sleep all night.
Okay, so let's start with that.
When we got in the editing room, you know, we had very limited time.
So with all of that, you've got to push your brain to channel something fabulous.
Don't we have an alternative dog?
Because of the phone.
I'm just saying, does he look appealing to one of you?
You don't like it because he's slobbering?
I don't know that much about St. Bernard, do they?
They drew it.
When Nellie did the close shots of the dog, it doesn't look very good in a commercial.
It's Beethoven.
Everyone loves Beethoven.
I don't know why you guys don't like it.
I really like it.
You don't have time to whine or complain or whatever.
You just have to make something happen.
Okay, so grab that piece.
Originally, we set up the commercial to be three different dog stories
and you sort of see them get adopted.
And then I come on and say, you know, dogs rule.
Everything's too big.
Yeah, it's too big.
But what happened was the tones of the two pieces were so different that it was kind of jarring.
I can do it as a voiceover, even if you never see me.
Yeah, that's what we're going to do at the end.
What time is it?
10 o'clock.
We have two hours left.
Yeah, I think that's brilliant.
Hi.
How are you doing?
You're doing great.
How are you all doing?
Good to see you.
I see you too.
So how's it going?
We're very pleased.
What was the most important thing you think the client was looking for?
The client wanted three things.
Very strong messaging.
He wanted it to be creative and original.
And he wanted an authenticity and a realness to it.
And we decided to take a very emotional approach to the storytelling.
I want to hear the last takes of Trace's voiceover.
A hero they can look up to.
Someone that will protect.
Start again.
They're both terrific.
You're good.
I have been given a gift.
Time check.
One hour.
All right, we're good.
We're good.
After we went back to the hotel room, I started getting a little worried.
This is a teamwork thing, and I think all of us should have an idea of what's going to be shown.
Because if we lose, one of us is going home.
The beginning of the commercial.
I walked in.
Gene didn't know I was coming.
Stephen didn't know I was coming.
Seeing the expression on Gene and on Stephen's face, they were surprised.
OK, stop.
I got a call.
You have 40 minutes.
You understand this, correct?
Yeah, we know.
Don't distract us, or we won't make it on time.
And you're going to have to step out and let us finish.
I sat back and let you guys do it.
He's been the project manager.
We're wasting time.
Then let's see.
Fine.
I was worried about when the other members of HYDRA showed up.
If I'm the director, that I'm the guy that everybody's working for.
So I turned around and said, guys, this is the agreement.
We're going to screw up if we don't stick by that.
We can't have this kind of committee, but we've got 40 minutes to finish this.
You're right.
You must let us finish.
I'm very serious about this, because this is about my charity.
And I want to try to win.
I want to make sure that we stay solid throughout the whole thing.
And I feel like we're kind of being left in the dark.
Under normal circumstances, let me tell you something.
Get the f*** out of here.
Right.
Period.
That's completely uncalled for.
I don't want to go home because of something that was wrong.
I run a multi-million dollar company.
We do commercials.
We do exactly the same stuff also.
Let's be honest here.
We came down here because we thought there was a problem.
I couldn't sleep.
I wouldn't be able to sleep all night if that was the fact.
I'm not going to lay my life in their hands.
I'm a businessman and my business model is making sure everything's right.
I don't trust Gene.
I don't trust Steven.
I had enough.
Good morning, gentlemen.
Good morning.
I'm looking forward to seeing what you have.
We're so ready, Rob.
I mean, we really listened to you yesterday.
We decided to create my true dog store.
Our big push is multi-platform.
The number one place we thought we could get connectivity for you is on the web.
We can create ads.
We also just, we threw in a radio spot.
I want to see the commercial.
Okay, let's go.
One more second.
Let's see the commercial.
I'm Max.
I used to live in a beautiful house, but my family moved away.
We really killed ourselves coming up with a concept,
writing a great piece of work, editing it well.
We worked like dogs.
We did a great job.
Love a good dog.
I love it.
Really good job.
Thank you.
I think we're going to beat the guys because we went after heart,
and women are usually better at that than men.
Good morning.
Glad to see you.
We didn't spend an awful lot of time together yesterday,
so what we're about to see is a bit, kind of a bit foreign to me.
A little concerned that you might have missed the mark
because we didn't have a chance to talk that much.
I decided to forego this location completely.
If you go to Sun Tzu, the art of war.
Well, I was doing the Mandarin version, but thank you.
It's just embarrassing when he does that little cock up on the stage.
Thank you for correcting him.
Please, it was nothing.
What he correctly identifies in his art of war is,
battlefield is where the war room is.
It's not in a boardroom.
But Rob was not happy.
I had to make a decision, and I stand by our product.
With all due respect, we would rather do less of our talking
and be judged by what it is that's up on that screen.
Respectfully.
Everyone needs a champ in their life.
Someone that loves them and cares for them.
When I saw the commercial, I was surprised.
I went from being kind of a frown face to a smile.
I felt a lot better, and I really felt that they did their job.
It takes a big heart to be a champ.
You look good there, Lennox.
Thank you.
Very good.
Okay.
Thanks, fellas.
See you later.
Thank you.
They both did really well, but one was fantastic.
So you really liked them both, and you loved one.
So much so that we'll run one of these spots in the Westminster Kennel Club dog show in early 2008.
On network television.
I really think they liked it.
I think that we've done a great, unbelievable job.
Everything was great.
If we missed this, it's because we didn't put six celebratories in a 30-second spot.
If we lose, and I don't think there's a chance of that,
it was the right decision to forego the war room shaking hands.
We had a job to do.
Rob from Pedigree thought both teams did a really good job.
But I have to say, he felt somewhat slighted by the fact that you guys didn't go over
and really talk to him.
He had also said that he thought that Gene was a little bit abrasive.
I have to say, just sitting here, I felt you were as well.
I came to observe you.
I asked about the content of the commercial to which you said to Stephen, she'll wait.
You asked me also when I was leaving if I was going to go and tell the female,
because of some sort of sisterhood bond,
what you had been doing, what you had been working on, and what your general strategy was.
Who said that to you, Gene?
Gene.
Gene, did you insult my daughter?
Huh?
What did I say to you?
Nobody insults my daughter.
You said she'd wait.
Omarosa, what do you think of Gene's disrespect for Ivanka?
It wasn't just a disrespect.
He questioned your integrity.
Oh, nice.
And that, to me, is the most offensive part of what he did.
It was just unnecessary.
I mean, you could have almost said nothing.
You're absolutely right.
I sincerely apologize for any short-sightedness I may have had.
If you don't mind, I'd like to take another run.
I want to see E. Chad.
Impresario first.
I'm Max.
I used to live in a beautiful house, but my family moved away.
Now I'm here.
I'm a good dog.
Why'd they leave me here?
They call me Lady.
I was a beauty queen, but as I got older, I got heavier.
I'm a good dog.
If I were thinner, would someone love me?
Sam's my name.
My home life was happy until the baby started sneezing.
I hope there's another family that wants me.
I'm a good dog.
When you buy Pedigree Food, we make a donation to help good dogs find loving homes.
Love a good dog.
Gene, what do you think?
Better than yours?
Oh, absolutely not.
You believe yours is better?
Do you really believe that?
We're convinced of it.
All right, let me just see the Hydra ad, please.
Everyone needs a champ in their life.
Someone that loves them and cares for them.
Sadly, there are two million homeless dogs in America waiting to be adopted.
When you buy Pedigree, we make a donation to help dogs find the loving home.
It takes a big heart to be a champ.
Nellie, what'd you think?
Very good.
Very professional, but hands down, we won.
Omarosa, you were laughing.
I thought it was just hilarious because he's such a big, tough guy,
and to see him cuddling with this little dog.
The kind of reaction Omarosa just gave us is, that's what we want.
Well, because I think you're hot.
That's, you know, but you're married.
She does like you a lot.
Like a brother.
And he's a big star.
Why didn't you use your star power?
You have stars here.
Why didn't you use your star power?
Mary Lou's face is very familiar,
and I think putting her face in front of the ad would just bring that last connection.
Well, and we did use Mary Lou's voice,
and there's plenty of commercials with the voice of a celebrity.
But nobody really knows Mary Lou's voice.
I'm really sticking by what we did.
I think it's really good work.
Having said that, you know, Lennox, I know who you are,
but not everybody knows who you are, particularly women.
And so I think it could have been enhanced by a little caption there,
Lennox Lewis, heavyweight champion of the world.
I've walked down a few streets of New York with Lennox Lewis.
Everybody knows who he is, and you're wrong about that.
Let's get down to decision time.
The executives of Pedigree felt that both teams really worked hard,
but they really loved the ad from one team.
And the ad they loved is Hydra.
They thought it was terrific.
Pedigree felt that Hydra did the better ad.
I disagree with them.
Nelly, you know what? It doesn't matter.
I have to say, wasn't my decision, but I agree with it.
I agree with it. I thought they really did a great job.
I think using Trace and that incredible voice of this guy was genius.
Now, listen, congratulations, Hydra, two wins in a row.
Go back to your war room, have fun.
Congratulations.
So far, ladies, it's not looking so good.
You guys got to understand, they can't touch us.
We smashed them, son.
By the way, boys, pop it again.
Congratulations, guys. Great job.
One, two, three.
The client thought you had too many dogs.
We did our homework. We really did our job.
I guarantee you we worked harder than they did.
I do think that you spent a lot of time preparing.
The only thing I was worried about in the editing room
was whether you had enough time to actually execute your vision.
And I'll tell you what, the voiceovers, your voice was great,
but I don't recognize your voice.
I recognize your face.
I don't recognize your voice.
The voiceovers, the first voiceover was terrible.
Who directed the voiceovers?
Who was the person in charge?
I was the person in charge of the voiceovers based on...
That's not good.
You could have used your own voices.
My voice has an accent, so...
Your voice maybe we won't use, okay?
In all fairness.
Unless we're looking at going international.
But I think you went overboard.
Even in your presentation, you come up with,
we have a radio ad for you.
We have an internet ad.
They didn't ask for that.
And by the way, everybody, Terry, Ivanka, myself,
we really liked the other commercial better.
The ad was so beautiful with Lennox sitting there.
He looked so natural.
You couldn't have picked a better actor, no matter where you went.
Hey, big man.
High five.
Open your mouth, I'm Brenda.
Nelly, you've been very quiet, but you were the project manager, so...
You know, I think Mary Lou and I really worked on the creative.
I think we did a really good job.
Obviously, it didn't work.
I have to take full responsibility.
I will say this, Nelly.
You were very, very carried away at the presentation.
You just kept going and going, and nobody could breathe.
Jenny, what did you do?
I was in charge of research, the client, and taking care of the talent.
If you were me, who would you fire?
Nadia.
Come on.
I don't know.
We worked so hard together as a team.
It would either be maybe Nadia or Carol.
Why Nadia?
I just don't think Nadia was given a specific task.
Why Carol?
Carol had nothing to do with this one, I think.
Maybe that's why.
So, Carol, who would you fire?
I would think Nadia.
Why?
Because the people weren't fed when we got to the location.
Nadia, how do you respond to that?
That's not true, because we got to the studio,
and the first thing I did, I got a menu, and I ordered for everybody.
I mean, you could more blame Mary Lou for directing an incorrect concept.
All right, Nellie, you know that you're going to bring back two people.
Somebody's going to be fired.
Feel badly.
The women are getting beaten quite badly, quite handily.
I'm going to bring back Nadia, and I'm going to bring back Carol,
even though I hate to, right?
Okay.
So, Nadia, Carol, everyone out, but you're coming back with Nellie.
Thank you.
I think it's interesting.
I think that Carol shouldn't be here.
I can't decide between Nellie or between Nadia.
Terry, what do you think?
Well, first of all, I agree.
Carol, I don't understand why she's here.
Nadia was a world champion, maybe the best gymnast ever.
Where's her competitive spirit firing up and showing leadership here?
My businesses are run by me.
We have a lot of heads here.
A lot of women are heads of their own business, and that makes a huge difference.
But you know what?
The guy who wants the biggest light has to take the biggest responsibility.
Nellie, you have to be a little bit embarrassed by what's taking place.
This is your thing.
You do reality shows.
You do videos.
You know, I think, truthfully, I was too ambitious in trying to do great work.
I wanted to outdo myself.
Do you think you should be fired?
I think that I should take responsibility for my actions.
Nellie, it doesn't really sound like you're giving us any reason not to fire you in a lot of ways.
And I don't understand.
You brought Carol back.
I don't get Carol.
I do get Nadia to a certain extent.
I don't get Carol.
Why Carol?
You know, I had to bring two people back.
But Mary Lou should have been back with you, not Carol, in all fairness.
Carol, you're not going to be fired unless something really crazy happens.
Thank you.
But she shouldn't be here.
Nadia, go ahead.
We went the wrong direction.
And I mentioned that many times.
Whose fault is that?
It's hard to say that somebody's wrong.
Hard to say.
Whose fault?
I mean, you know whose fault.
Whose fault is it?
Well, if we go the wrong direction, I think it's the producer's, so...
Meaning the project manager.
Carol, do you think Nadia could lead a team?
I don't think so.
I found that she didn't have any contingency plans.
Nadia, do you think really you could be a project manager?
It's unbelievable to me.
Because I watched you win the Olympics.
So obviously you're highly competitive.
I am.
You're like this incredible person.
I like to win.
You don't have to convince me.
Because I know a lot about sports and about athletes and about everything.
If I don't know what I'm supposed to do, I step back.
Sometimes you have to say, I'm not being told what to do.
This is how I make myself an asset to my team.
I always said that we should use the celebrity from the beginning.
Did she say that?
We did decide to use Mary Lou.
And when we were in the editing room, what Mary Lou shot didn't work.
But why isn't Mary Lou back here, though?
She was the director of a failed deal, right?
Mary Lou is not in a team, the weakest link.
Why should I keep you versus Nadia?
Because I'm exceptional.
I said that if we're going to lose, it's because we didn't use a celebrity.
Well, that's a big statement.
After we shot.
After we shot?
Did you say it before you shot?
No, after we shot.
Well, that doesn't do any good.
I mean, what good does it do after you shoot?
It's over.
Nadia.
Yes.
Do you think you have the ability to lead?
They both say you can.
I can, but I wasn't given a chance, yes.
But did you want a chance?
Did you want to be the leader of this task?
This one?
Yes.
I would have done everything athletic because this is what I know.
Well, athletic, unfortunately, at a certain level ends.
And I mean that with the greatest respect.
Because very few people can lead themselves.
Most people are losers, you know.
I know a lot of people.
Most people are losers.
You're a winner.
Nadia, why should I keep you versus Nelly?
Well, she...
Come on, Nadia.
Come on, you gotta...
Wait, okay.
This is no longer a gymnasium.
This is now a boardroom.
Look, look.
First of all, here's the problem I have.
Okay.
I think Nelly has tremendous ability.
She was like the star of the team.
Carol, you would say it.
Everybody, they just think she was great.
And I think she had a very, very bad day.
As far as Nadia is concerned, I think you're an amazing leader of yourself.
And I think that's the ultimate tribute.
You want to know the truth.
I don't see you being able to lead the team.
So look, I think you are extraordinary.
I am a huge fan of yours.
I watched you win the Olympics.
I watched you win so many contests.
I love you.
But Nadia, you're fired.
Thank you very much.
Thank you.
That was tough.
That was as tough as it gets, I think.
But you made the right decision.
I don't think I should have been fired because I could have been,
you know, a good asset to the team.
I was playing for Special Olympics International.
I'm disappointed.
But I know that everything that's going to be won here is going to go to some other charities.
