JOAN RIVERS
Congratulations to 75 year old Joan Rivers who showed amazing durability and endurance to win the Celebrity Apprentice. Personally I thought Donald Trump got the decision totally wrong and for the wrong reasons.
Joan’s adversay was Annie Duke and throughout the series she proved she was a very capable business woman and clever opponent. She raised the most money and she managed to pull off some amazing wins…most notably when she beat county music legend Clint Black in producing a jingle for some chicken product that no-one will ever care about.
Annie Duke can clearly feel herself unfortunate but Trump bowed to the popular vote despite Ms. Rivers tendancy to get emotional, to side with her daughter Melissa and at one point, walk out of the competition because her beloved off spring had been “fired”. Since when has Trump allowed quitters to walk back in?
I find it very odd that Trump can fire Khloe Kardashian for her crime (not committed on the show) yet Joan’s insults towards Clint, Brande and Annie with such turns of phrase as “worse than Hitler”, “stupid blondes”, “white trash”, “whore pit vipers” and “mafia ties” is seen as the behaviour of a winner.
Still, it seems we’re in different times thesedays and we can probably consider this the “Rivers Bailout”.
Hello,

uh…. Chicken of the Sea is NOT “some chicken product that no-one will care about”… it’s a very famous TUNA brand. Wow.
But.. I agree, there is no way Joan should have won. I think Trump just didn’t want to make a very loud enemy of her. She surely would have had another very loud, 5 yr old temper tantrum /melt-down if Annie had beaten her.
