Did Bret Michaels earn Celebrity Apprentice crown?
[HMG] – And so after weeks of hype, suspense and predictable drama, Bret Michaels has won Celebrity Apprentice. But even with the ‘cliff-hanger’ episode still on most people’s TiVo’s the postmortem has already begun — Did the right person win?
Somehow the man with the Shredded Wheat hair managed to fill the Skirball Center in Greenwich Village with people still in possession of a detectable pulse, who then witnessed an unending display of scripted backstabbing and manipulation.
So who would win? The endlessly abrasive Holly Robinson Peete, or Bret Michaels? Autism or Diabetes. And would anyone care? Stay tuned [and awake] and find out, we were urged.
Dressed in an ‘Ed Hardy’ castoff he clearly got from Jon Gosselin, Bret got all stressed about his commercial’s shooting requirements. But it got done in time so there was really no drama…Again.
Meanwhile, one of Ms Peete’s team wanted to go see her BFF who’s getting married. So Holly was not happy at all.
Then came the return of the hairstyle — Blagojevich was back. So was Sinbad, Cyndi Lauper and the other talentless flotsam.
Bret’s commercial was slick and offbeat, while Holly’s was far more traditional. Hers got polite applause from the barely alive audience, but Bret’s got hollers of support and approval. So he won that round.
Then we reach the climactic scene. Holly’s ‘Reynold’s Wrap’ outfit was well received by everyone – Especially Bret, who sent the crowd into fits when he appeared.
…I bet that soothed Holly’s ego.
Finally the big D made the decision, Bret got the title and the job, while Holly got to act all supportive…And did it badly.
“Bret, you’re hired,” says the Don, instantly unleashing a standing ovation, followed by a positive orgy of confetti, high-fives and fake tears.
“It was such a great feeling,” said Bret, still wearing his trademark ‘Mandana.’ “This is very emotional.”
So Bret raised $250,000 for the American Diabetes Association, while Holly got $250,000 for her charity, which combats childhood autism. And the dudes at Snapple, who got an undiluted 112-minute, prime-time commercial on network TV for just $250,000 ‘generously’ donated another $500k – just to look cool.
But did the right person win? This question could perplex modern humanity for longer than the ‘Tastes Great / Less Filling’ debate…but let’s hear your reviews?…
Bret won every challenge
as pm. Holly won 1 of 3…..
So, yes, the right person won. Holly’s ads were boring – she didn’t take advice well – the final episode was a lie – she did NOT encourage Maria to give her ideas…she did not fire anybody – she made Curtis do it…..etc.,etc.
Bret has more exciting ideas AND has a better understanding of sales and promotion. Holly ONLY knows rich people to donate $$ to her.
Bret SHOULD have won on his own merits – it’s sad that his illness even gives rise to the questions.
No, the right person did not win. No, they did not…
And Holly deserved to win – why?
She lost as many challenges as Bret won—she had zero artistic ability (which is amazing since she was an actress) – she didn’t EVER want to use the resources at hand – i.e. Cindi, Curtis, Maria and herself in commercials (which is incredibly ignorant or just plain jealousy)
Bret won TWO out of TWO challenges —Holly won 1 out of 3. simple math should tell you who deserved the win.
Plus Holly’s Snapple stuff was just plain BORING. This was filmed BEFORE Bret’s illness and STILL Holly made everybody doze.
Yes, yes, yes, the right person won!! How can we even question that based on Brett’s stellar work throughout the episodes? He was simply amazing!! The only reason the choice is even being questioned is because people are afraid he won based on sympathy. I have news for everyone – Ivanka got it right. He was at the finale based on his phenomenal performance, and he won based on merit alone! Thank you, Donald Trump, for making the RIGHT choice!
