TRUMP:
"Celebrity Apprentice" is back
with an all-new season
and all-new celebrities.
It's going to be bigger
and better than ever.
Who will be
the next Celebrity Apprentice?
ANNOUNCER:
78 different celebrities
have come seeking the title.
You pressed the last button
in me, Miss Star Jones.
I do what I want.
You've raised no money.
You ain't doing Jack for me,
Piers.
You know why you've raised
no money?
I ain't going nowhere.
But only six have succeeded.
Whoo!
In the process, they've changed
millions of lives forever...
JOAN: Here's my first friend
to die of AIDS.
That's why I work
for God's Love.
ANNOUNCER: ...and pushed their
own careers to new heights.
That's a good joke, man.
ANNOUNCER:
This season starts
with two all-new teams
of celebrities.
For the men's team,
award-winning journalist,
war correspondent, and talk-show
host Geraldo Rivera.
Sure you want to alienate
the old timers?
Two-time World Series champion
Johnny Damon.
Television icon
and shark slayer Ian Ziering.
I'm used to fighting flaming
sharks flying out of the sky,
so I know I have what it takes
to win "Celebrity Apprentice."
Grammy-nominated
and multi-platinum musician
Kevin Jonas.
KEVIN: I may be one
of the youngest people here,
but I definitely have the
experience to win this thing.
NFL wide receiver and five-time
pro bowler Terrell Owens.
Star of "Deadliest Catch"
and Captain of the Northwestern
Sig Hansen.
Actor and legendary comedian
Gilbert Gottfried.
Golden Globe-nominated actor

I want to win this.
I am withholding nothing.
ANNOUNCER: For the women,
movie star Vivica A. Fox.
VIVICA: Coming from the big
screen to the boardroom,
baby, I am definitely ready
to set it off.
ANNOUNCER: Gold medal Olympian

ANNOUNCER:
Journalist, news personality,
and best-selling author
Leeza Gibbons.
LEEZA: You are looking
at The Celebrity Apprentice.
It's me.
ANNOUNCER: It's a brand-new cast
with all-new tasks.
IAN: Show me the money.
Hot girls! Hot girls!
ANNOUNCER:
They're ruthless...
Lead, follow,
or get out of the way.
Shut the [bleep] up.
She's just a drama queen
without a crown.
You are a toxic trick.
You've put me between
a typhoon and a hurricane.
ANNOUNCER:
...they're crazy...
TERRELL: Wow!
Ooh!
No, I didn't!
Whoo-hoo!
BRANDI: Aah!
ANNOUNCER: ...and they're
determined to give it their all.
KEVIN: Geraldo, wait five
seconds to hear what's going on,
then you can speak.
Hold it.
Don't grandstand with me, dude.
VIVICA: Stop. Overthinking.
Can you grab those and [bleep]
take them down there, please?
Who's got cash?
Who's got credit?
GERALDO:
Geraldo, you still got it, baby.
Am I right or am I wrong?
No, you're right.
Good son.
Camera, action.
Waah!
GERALDO: I've been shot at,
had knives drawn on me.
I have never done this.
I have never really been
in a challenging environment
where business is the object.
KESHIA: Everyone knows me
as Rudy Huxtable
on "The Cosby Show."
But this is a wonderful
opportunity to show people
who I am as a businesswoman
and just a human being
outside of the characters
that I'm playing.
SIG:
I'm gonna come at 'em swinging.
I'm not gonna hold back.
Gonna bark and scream and yell.
That should take me far.
SHAWN: I'm an Olympic
gold medal gymnast.
I'm used to really tough people
and intense competitors.
There's not much
that can break me.
10 years,
$13 million raised for charity,
and we're still going strong.
Welcome to Rockefeller Center,
a great place,
the heart of New York, and, very
importantly, the home of NBC.
John D. Rockefeller,
the father of modern-day
philanthropy,
developed Rockefeller Center.
So, you're gonna be doing
a lot of philanthropy.
You know, we've raised
$13 million on "The Apprentice,"
and it's going up
very, very rapidly.
So, I wish you a lot of luck.
Are there any questions?
I'm wondering why we have to
stand outside
in the freezing cold
when we could be in
a warm office somewhere?
Do you believe
in global warming?
Oh, yes.
And yet you're freezing
your ass off, right?
Okay. That's all right.
Now, we've broken the teams up
already, men versus women.
You're gonna go back later
to Trump Tower.
You're gonna choose
a Project Manager,
and you're gonna choose
your team name.
Okay?
Now, the restaurant business
is very tough.
It's ruthless.
It's killer.
And that's
what you're going to be doing.
Pie Face.
You know Pie Face shops?
You'll be creating and selling
your own celebrity pies.
And the one that makes
the most money,
that Project Manager
has a chance to win
one hell of a lot of money
for his or her charity.
Just one little wrinkle.
The Cake Boss
is going to pick the team
whose pie he likes best
and somebody's
going to be getting
a very big bonus
added on to the team dollars.
Toshiba -- great company --
is giving the bonus.
My advisers this week are
my daughter Ivanka and Piers.
Does anybody have any questions?
Yeah.
Can we go inside, please?
Yes, you can.
Yes.
It's going to be great.
Nobody wants to be
the first person fired.
Do you hear that, Geraldo?
I do, sir.
You don't want to be
the first one out.
Absolutely not.
Good luck, everybody.
Raise a lot of money
for your charities.
KESHIA: Oh.
VIVICA: Well, looky here.
BRANDI: Nice.
I like it.
Okay.
VIVICA: Anybody want to start
tossing names out there?
What about something like
Trojan Horse,
how they kind of
Trojan Horsed in
and they were the underdog
and --
Condoms.
Yeah.
Oh, Trojan Horse.
I didn't think about --
VIVICA: Yeah, no.
[ Laughter ]
How about Team Infinity?
JAMIE: I like that.
Infinite possibilities,
like being able to come together
to overcome
any challenges.
I like that.
Yes.
Infinite possibilities
is good.
Mm-hmm.
BRANDI:
What about Team Gold?
We have two gold medalists
on our team.
And I just think that it's,
like, luxurious and strong,
and it means first place
in a lot of ways.
Gold embodies everything
that you work for.
I mean, you don't shoot
for silver.
VIVICA: Word.
I think the Infinity was
the number one we all liked.
I think Gold
makes sense.
Kenya and I definitely have
a history of little bad blood.
She's very competitive.
But this isn't "Housewives."
This is "Celebrity Apprentice."
So I hope that Kenya
leaves the Bravo drama behind.
VIVICA: We've got two --
Team Infinity and Team Gold.
KENYA: I think a lot of us
like Infinity.
Yeah.
We like Infinity,
definitely.
Looks like it's our number-one
choice, ladies. Correct?
BRANDI: Right.
All right.
Yay,
it's my name.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
yeah, yeah, yeah.
KENYA: The name
we settled on was my idea.
This is what I do, people.
I create hit catch phrases.
Who created
"Gone with the Wind Fabulous"?
Okay? Who created Twirl?
Mm-hmm. Me.
That was my name.
I'm happy about that.
TERRELL: They have a lot
of Alpha females over there.
GERALDO: They have a lot.
Boy, I'm -- I have to say,
I'm glad I'm not in that room.
SIG: I wonder if they're gonna
call it Team Hormone next door.
[ Laughter ]
JOHNNY:
Being on a new team,
it's something
that I'm kind of used to.
I mean, I've been on four teams
in the big leagues.
A new team is nothing for me.
Team names.
Throw 'em in.
We've had this terrible winter.
Why not Vortex?
Vortex is a storm.
It's powerful.
And that's kind of us.
We're the vortex.
Are we in for Vortex?
Let's write it down
and see a few.
We don't need to rush to --
to decide, right?
Mm-hmm.
What about
Gilbert's Warriors?
I don't know
how the rest of you feel.
KEVIN:
I actually like it.
Tornado.
SIG:
Write down velocity.
Vel-oc-i-ty --
too many syllables.
Vortex.
Bang, bang. Bang, bang.
Vortex. Here we come.
Why don't we just call this
Team Geraldo?
[ Laughter ]
IAN: There you go.
IAN: Geraldo, clearly, he's
used to doing things his way.
He's been doing it his way
for the last 30-plus years.
And he's certainly not
used to hearing "no."
Vortex was just a swirl,
it's --
But a vortex would be
that mighty cyclonic swirl.
Yeah, but it --
I just don't want
to rush to a decision.
KEVIN: I just felt like the name
was just missing
more that had to do
with business.
But Geraldo was, like,
a frickin' steamroller.
SIG: Everybody's good
with Vortex, right?
We're all good with it?
JOHNNY: Yes.
Good.
IAN: We're excellent.
VIVICA:
Now, let's move on.
What's the next
order of business?
SHAWN:
Project Manager.
Raise your hand if you desire
that task.
[ Laughter ]
KESHIA:
I wouldn't mind.
I mean, I'm open to
whoever you all feel
is up for the challenge.
Like, of course,
we're all here
to, at some point,
be the Project Manager.
Then I pick you.
I do, too.
VIVICA: All right.
Yay!
Keshia. Yes. Done.
KESHIA: It's a lot of risk being
the first one out the gate
to be a Project Manager.
But I knew this would be
a phenomenal opportunity
to raise a lot of money
for my charity, Kamp Kizzy,
my foundation
that's all about empowerment
and self-esteem for youth.
We have to get
the people there.
And there's several people
with a lot of social-media
following.
I could literally tweet
and social media,
Facebook, Instagram, Twitter
for every single one of us.
You handle that.
Shawn is social media.
Shawn and Brandi.
BRANDI: Okay.
Mm-hmm.
Ladies.
KESHIA: Yes?
How are you?
VIVICA:
Oh, my gosh! Hey!
Good to see you.
Pleasure.
How are you?
LEEZA: Hello, Piers.
This brings back
such fond memories for me.
Holy moly.
Good to see you.
Nice to meet you.
You can call me Piers.
It's fine.
Piers Morgan came by,
and I was really surprised.
I mean, I've watched him
so many times.
So my reaction was,
"Holy moly!"
I was like, "What am I doing
getting starstruck?"
But I did.
So.
KESHIA: Yes.
Day one, you're all bright-eyed
and bushy tailed.
VIVICA: Right.
You're feeling excited.
The sheer hell of this hasn't
really cut home yet, right?
Oh, yes, it has.
Who's Project Manager?
KESHIA: I am.
You are?
Yes.
How are you feeling
about that?
I feel really good about it,
actually.
But if you lose,
you could be the first out.
No risk, no reward.
KENYA: Yes. Right on.
I like the attitude.
Now, here's a tip for you.
Looking around the table
of delightful ladies,
all of whom, I'm sure,
are extremely trustworthy,
decent people.
[ Coughs ]
Underneath it, a few of them
will be looking
to stab you
right in the back.
From my experience
being a Project Manager,
everyone around the table
has got to know
exactly what their
responsibility is.
Because if they don't,
they can wriggle off the hook
when it gets nasty
in the boardroom.
Good thinking.
So, what's the game plan?
We're gonna utilize our
social media and our celebrity
to get people to come
and let them know about it.
We're heading up
the social media part of it.
PIERS: Okay. But it's not gonna
win you the task.
This is about money.
Mm-hmm.
This is about all of you getting
your biggest high rollers
and making sure you sell those
pies for more than they do.
Mm-hmm.
Keshia seems pretty smart to me
and quite focused.
Having said that,
if you're Project Manager,
she should have five or six
big spenders ready to come
and win this task for her.
It's a big risk to take
that Project Manager role
in the first task
if you don't have them lined up.
We got this.
VIVICA: Absolutely.
Mm-hmm.
Look.
I will leave you to it.
Remember the money and remember
to delegate properly.
Yes, sir.
PIERS: Best of luck.
Thank you very much.
Good luck, ladies.
Take care.
Pleasure to meet you.
Well, then.
IAN: We've got to move on now
to the Project Manager.
Since he said
Team Geraldo,
let's just make Geraldo
our Project Manager.
JOHNNY: How do you feel
about that?
I accept
if you are unanimous.
I take on the responsibility.
IAN: Hold on a second.
We're gonna need
to raise money.
So if you've got the contacts
and the depth
and those resources,
then I'm all for it.
I know some high rollers.
Great.
Congratulations,
Geraldo.
My charity is called
Life's Work,
which takes care
of the developmentally disabled
and the severely autistic.
It was my honor
to be the Project Manager.
Once you've survived Tora Bora,
once you've survived Somalia,
I think that the task
will be not so daunting.
Hi, team.
KEVIN: Hello.
Good to meet all of you
finally.
I'm so excited.
SIG: Ivanka came in.
Very, very beautiful.
She had a presence about her,
as well.
A lot like her father.
IVANKA:
What do you guys think?
Well, Celebrity Pie Face,
we're going to take
this market by storm.
Amazing.
Vortex.
LORENZO: We're very happy
to have Geraldo
lead the first task.
IVANKA: I think the men's team
is starting off very harmonious.
They seem to be a lot of support
around Geraldo,
their team leader.
It's a responsibility
that I accept willingly,
particularly when they said
they have my back.
That's either very optimistic
or a little bit naive of you.
But we've seen
this story before,
so I'm not sure how long
it continues, but thus far,
they seem to genuinely like
one another.
What do you make of your team
and what skill sets
do you think
various people have?
GERALDO: You know, Kevin,
my daughter's icon.
When she was 9,
she wanted to marry him.
If I may say,
I wanted to marry you, too.
I, you know --
I have a picture of you
in my bedroom.
I would only hope so.
Ian, I mean, my goodness, what
could you say about "90210"?
LORENZO: Or "Sharknado"?
Or "Sharknado."
You could start
by calling me "I-an."
I-an, Ian, I-an.
It's always been "I-an."
IVANKA:
It's amazing to have Ian aboard.
I'm a huge "90210" fan.
Unbelievable "90210" fan.
That was the pace-setting,
pop-cultural program
of that era.
I don't think
I ever missed an episode.
GERALDO: Right.
Glued to it.
I love "90210."
I'm gonna start pummeling him
with questions
about Dylan and Brenda and Kelly
and all the tawdry details
I wish I'd known when I was 14.
GERALDO:
We got to get the people --
SIG: This round's
about the dough.
Got to get
the people there.
Oh, no pun intended.
It's all about the dough.
All about the dough.
GERALDO: In terms of social
media, Kevin, I would imagine
that you have more followers
than the rest of us
added together.
KEVIN: Me, if I tweeted,
I can bring in a lot of people
with that reach
very quickly.
I'm gonna utilize that.
KEVIN: There's a lot
of Jonas Brothers fans.
Just on Twitter, I have
4.3 million that follow me.
I'm gonna say,
"Hey, show up here, guys.
Do this for me.
Thank you so much."
And they're gonna do it.
I'd like to get that word out
starting right now.
Every one of us use
every one of your contacts
to be at the Pie Face.
Let's find out --
would someone please Google it?
KEVIN: Geraldo is used to being
the Alpha male.
He walks into a room,
people know him,
he's had a long history,
and I totally respect that.
But at the same time,
I don't know
how I'm gonna work together
with him.
.
[ Funky music plays ]
All right.
Looks like they need
a little help in here.
Our task is this
incredibly complicated job.
We've got to make pies.
We've got to market pies.
We've got to get money.
We've got to raise funds, as
much money as we possibly can.
So we are going to be
baking the pies.
Can we see the kitchen?
Yeah,
let's go downstairs.
Okay. Everybody stand by.
Everybody stand by.
Listen up.
Everybody, let's --
let's just get focused.
Let's have another meeting.
KEVIN:
We should all be in the kitchen
working and building pie.
Do you agree with that?
I just want to make sure that
everyone's done all they can
on social media
before we get into the pie.
KEVIN: Okay.
Has everyone done
their social media?
When in doubt, Facebook.
When in doubt, Instagram.
When in doubt,
get the word out.
Yep.
But you've got to stay busy.
KEVIN: Social media is not
a weakness for me.
No disrespect to him
and the amount of people
that follow him.
It's just,
I'm very socially active.
GERALDO:
Okay, so, promotion --
I'm gonna be dialing
for dollars, essentially.
So I'm gonna be in a corner
raising money.
I feel like we should
get into the kitchen,
start making pies now.
KEVIN: I feel like we wasted
a lot of time
when we should have been
downstairs
starting to bake the pies
when we haven't even seen
the kitchen yet.
I just want to summarize
what everybody's doing,
let every -- we know...
We already went through that
in the war room.
I almost interrupted Geraldo,
but he's the Project Manager --
whatever he says, goes.
His word is gold.
So I will respect him
and do that.
But it was a waste of time.
All right. Let's go.
Let's go to work.
KESHIA: We have to decide
on our flavors.
Why don't you come...
In the kitchen?
...so that we can see
what ingredients they have.
We had to create
two celebrity pies --
a savory pie and a sweet pie.
Whatever we make,
it has to be delicious
because Mr. Trump let us know
that there would be a huge bonus
for which team won
for best-tasting pies.
Right now, I'm feeling, like,
between the pear
or the blueberry.
JAMIE: What about pear
and blueberry?
KATE: I mean,
there's a way to make --
Blueberry pear?
VIVICA:
Ooh, blueberry pear.
Doesn't that sound good?
VIVICA: That sounds great.
I've never had a pear
and blueberry pie,
so I thought, "Why not
come up with something
different, creative?
And hopefully,
it will be delicious."
KESHIA:
And then savory --
We could do
any of that.
You can do,
like, cumin --
Cumin, onion powder,
cayenne, chili powder.
Yeah.
Taco?
Yeah.
When you said taco, I have
an amazing enchilada recipe
that could lend itself
to this.
Some sort
of enchilada pie.
KATE:
Well, it's your thing,
but I feel like calling it
a taco pie, I mean --
They're all Mexican.
The reason I said enchilada
is because enchilada
is already kind of like
a baked dish.
The taste of it
is gonna be the same.
I'm just stuck on the --
on the --
Taco pie?
Which do we call it?
BRANDI:
Someone's saying it's taco,
somebody's saying enchiladas.
I'm like, "Let's move on.
We're on the clock."
Kate loves the sound
of her own voice.
Well, it's your thing.
But, I mean, tacos...
We are wasting a lot of time
on this.
Okay. We'll do some sort of,
like, enchilada taco pie.
VIVICA: Okay. Cool.
BRANDI: Perfect.
KATE:
Girls, we got to get baking.
Let's do this.
Okay.
Wish me luck.
Keshia hadn't clarified roles
at that point.
But Jamie and I self-delegated
and just stepped in
and got to work.
We need 15 cups
of seasoning.
I was just thinking, like,
adding the spices as we go.
I agree with you.
That's how I cook at home.
But I only have eight kids
and it's what's for dinner
and they don't have to love it
and be judged on it.
Okay.
I cook three meals a day
for nine people.
So to come up with
a huge quantity of baked goods,
it's an understatement
to say that I was comfortable
doing that.
Incoming.
Yeah, yeah.
[ Bicycle bell dings ]
Better than nothing.
[ Chuckles ]
Uh, hi. It's Geraldo calling
Mr. Catsimatidis.
WOMAN: Your name was?
Geraldo Rivera.
IAN:
Geraldo is the Project Manager.
He took the responsibility
of being on the phone,
raising money.
Gilbert's task
was finding entertainment.
Terrell and I were working
on the graphics.
The other guys were getting
acquainted with the kitchen.
KEVIN: Okay.
I got my recipe.
I was trying to do, like,
a chocolate and vanilla layer.
And then a layer of crust
in the middle between the two.
So, the recipe I picked is --
my wife makes it all the time.
It's called icebox cake...
One.
...which is a pudding-based
dessert pie
with a graham-cracker crust.
It's awesome.
KEVIN: Wow.
LORENZO: It just has to
cook down a little bit.
We're gonna put
whole milk in there.
For our savory pie,
Lorenzo did
the low-calorie version
of a chicken pot pie.
High-pressure situations,
right?
LORENZO: Let's get busy.
Would you take a chance with
just a little bit more garlic
or a little bit less
garlic?
More garlic.
JOHNNY: Okay.
I'm not the guy for the
fundraising tasks, to be honest.
You know?
I'm an actor.
I've got rich friends.
But I can't compete
with the contacts
that Geraldo might have.
So I really have to try
to contribute in the other ways.
Wasn't it around 400?
Isn't that
what we figured?
SIG: I'm in the Bering Sea in
Alaska fishing crab year-round.
I don't know anything
about pies.
But you want me to make crust,
whatever.
Might not be the greatest,
but whatever -- I'm gonna do it.
[ Beeping ]
Check that oven out
right there.
JOHNNY: Oh, it started beeping,
buddy.
Where's my gloves?
Are those a little burnt,
you think?
This one looks very dark.
It's fine.
LORENZO:
There was a faux pas.
I think we probably
mismanaged the time.
So they got extra cooked.
Just pull out the ones
that are really dark
and we'll leave the ones
that are passable, okay?
A good 600 pies, like, black,
shattered, no good.
It's kind of a mess.
But at this point,
it's just way too late.
SIG: This is bad.
.
[ Funky music plays ]
JAMIE:
They're gonna taste delicious.
KATE: May the gods
of good flavor be with us.
I don't think
it's thick enough, girls.
Put some sugar in that sucker
and come on.
More sugar?
I promise you.
Okay.
Add another cup of sugar.
JAMIE: Being a professional
snowboarder,
I haven't made a ton of pies.
We didn't even look up a recipe
or ingredients.
That one,
we totally free-styled.
KATE: Oh, my gosh.
The flavor is amazing.
Sold!
That's pie.
Good?
It's done.
It needed more sugar.
Yep.
The taste factor for these pies
were huge.
Aah!
We wanted to make sure
the Cake Boss liked it
and that we had the opportunity
to win that bonus.
Man, that is smelling like
I want to eat it for dinner.
So good!
Jamie came up
with the sweet pie.
And I was more the savory,
which was an enchilada pie.
After this comes out,
the chicken is baked.
We'll top it with cheese
before we put the top on.
Yes.
There's a lot of pressure on us
because these pies have to
get done in mass quantities
and they have to taste good.
KATE: You're awesome.
Thank you.
You're awesome.
I just got word
one FedEx check
will be here by 10:30
in the morning.
Hallelujah.
I got two so far.
VIVICA: Way to go.
I have two.
LEEZA: They're showing up.
We're gonna pull it out.
BRANDI: Yeah.
We're all trying to get people
to show up and support us.
Hi, Tim.
How are you?
As a celebrity interviewer,
I am incredibly blessed
that I have some relationships
with people
who have some sizeable dollars.
I think
they're gonna be there for me.
So I'm feeling pretty good.
KESHIA: I'm actually
the Project Manager.
WOMAN: Fantastic.
So, basically, it's, like,
win or go home right now.
From the days
on "The Cosby Show"
and having that great example
with Mr. Cosby,
the importance of philanthropy
and giving back to others
has been a part of my life
for forever.
I'm just reaching out to,
you know, everyone
who could possibly
be interested.
I knew I had people
who would support me.
So I went into overdrive
to try to secure
some substantial checks.
WOMAN:
Good luck. I hope everything
works out in your favor.
All right. I appreciate it.
Thanks.
Take care.
Okay, bye-bye.
Whew!
I was trying to get in touch
with some comedy clubs
just to get some comics
to stop over for tomorrow.
GILBERT: I think everyone
is kind of wondering
what contributions
I'll be making
and if I will screw it up.
I can't really tell.
I have a guy, a friend of mine,
a carnival guy,
who will stand outside
and swallow fire.
Get him.
I made calls to a bunch
of show-business friends
to just give it
a carnival atmosphere.
And I've got
a Howard Stern lookalike.
[ Groans ]
[ Laughs ]
GERALDO: The more action
out there, the better.
GILBERT: Yeah.
Gilbert, Gilbert, Gilbert,
my man.
He's a breath of fresh air.
I think he's my most favorite
guy of the group.
Anything I can do
down here?
Just do like this, like that,
and a little bit on the inside.
We're doing good, man.
We're getting these things done.
KEVIN: That's good.
That's perfect.
My man Gilbert
has got it down.
We were making pies
with Geraldo's face on it.
Basically, it looked like
Geraldo on acid,
but I was working.
It was right up to my intellect.
KEVIN:
You're doing a good job.
GILBERT: I am?
Yeah.
That's the nicest thing
anyone's ever said to me.
SHAWN: We're gonna try to get
these cooked in the next hour.
Make them smile at people.
They'll buy more.
Let me help you.
SHAWN: Yeah.
You're right.
BRANDI:
I just sent everyone the Tweet,
and I want everyone to use
the same exact verbiage.
KESHIA: Is it a Tweet
or is it an Instagram?
It's either way.
Both.
You can just use it on Facebook.
Take a picture of the Tweet.
So, I'll put together
a Pic Stitch.
Okay.
And then send it to you guys
so you can just Instagram,
Facebook, whatever.
KESHIA: Perfect. Okay.
Cool beans.
Keshia put me in charge
of social media.
And I was pretty excited
with my role.
Being the youngest,
I feel like I've kind of grown
up in the social-media era.
I know it
and understand it well enough
that I feel like I could
take control of that
and do well in it.
If anyone is not doing
something,
get the hell over here
immediately.
KATE: We need help over here,
girly goos.
Most of the girls were sitting
at the table up front
working on hashtags
and other such random things.
We need extra hands.
You can social media
till you die.
But without something to sell,
we had no funds to raise.
What do you guys
need me to do?
We need to start doing
the lids.
BRANDI:
The Jonas Brothers, man.
JAMIE: What about them?
It's just he has so many Twitter
followers and so many fans.
It's crazy.
And he's from here, so...
I know.
But you know what?
Flip it.
That doesn't matter.
Hot coming through.
Hot, hot, hot.
JAMIE: Awesome.
These look great.
KESHIA: We pulled together.
Everyone, you know,
manned their stations,
did what they needed to do.
We need
just one more tray.
One more. One more.
One more. Let's go.
Let's hustle.
Come on.
We almost there.
It was controlled chaos.
But, at the end of the day,
we got it done.
I'm so excited.
We got all the pies made.
Yay!
LEEZA: Good job.
Not to mention,
they are awesome!
Awesome.
So, hit social media,
tweet.
And it's really beneficial
if you talk back to your people.
BRANDI: Try to interact
a little tonight.
KENYA: I think social media
is always important,
but it isn't the central factor
that's going to drive people
in the store.
The focus should have been
solely on getting big donors
that come through the door
and bring us big checks.
Keshia is not emphasizing
the money.
Okay.
KENYA: I'm gonna be
dreaming of pies.
KEVIN: All right.
We're going in the freezer.
SIG: That's it.
That's how you make
a pie!
KEVIN:
So, it's the end of the night.
I feel like we did pretty well.
But, upstairs, Geraldo,
as our Project Manager,
was on the phone,
calling all of his big donors.
He didn't really check on us.
I know it was downstairs, but,
man, it's one flight of stairs.
If this task was not
a fundraising task,
I feel like we would have been
mismanaged.
How are you doing
with the calls?
I got about --
about 30 so far.
GERALDO: I'm beginning to hear
back from my potential donors,
but I don't have anybody
really cemented down.
The pressure of getting people
to move is very daunting.
When you're a war correspondent,
you go to sleep knowing
there's gonna be a battle.
Tomorrow,
there's gonna be a fight.
GILBERT: I should have worked
in a pie factory.
I know I missed my calling.
KEVIN:
Gilbert is an interesting man.
He makes you laugh.
It's time
for your prostate exam.
ANNOUNCER: And later...
KENYA: Brandi!
[ All shouting ]
I wish I had 10,000 pies
to throw in her face.
.
[ Mid-tempo music plays ]
Okay.
This is the plan.
One, we have to get
the pies baked.
We need to have enough for when
we open our doors at 11:30.
And all of us have
the responsibility
of raising funds and letting
people know about it.
KESHIA:
Today's the big fundraiser.
And the van ride over
was important
because I definitely wanted
to kind of check in with people,
see where they were, you know,
in terms of fundraising,
what they had coming in.
I've reached out to, like,
all of my celebrity friends.
Like, I reached out, of course,
to Russell Simmons.
I reached out to Tyler Perry,
Ludacris, and also --
Um, I haven't reached out
to him.
I was trying to reach people
who are currently in the city.
KENYA: So, let's talk about
the elephant in the room.
Keshia was a "Cosby" kid.
She was on one of the number-one
shows of all time.
And the first person she should
be calling is Bill Cosby
because I know he has
deep pockets.
The problem is
the time frame.
So we need someone
physically --
Usually, they have people
that they can call up
that can issue
a cashier's check.
No, no, no.
I completely understand that.
But I've reached out
to the people
who I felt
can deliver the quickest.
KENYA:
We're all making calls, trying
to get people on the phone
who will make big donations.
We have to have big donations
if we want to win.
And, Keshia, your TV dad
is accessible to you
and you don't call him up
for a donation?
Okay, that's just crazy.
KEVIN: Let's do it.
GERALDO:
Hi. It's Geraldo.
We're doing a major event,
raising money for charity,
and I want to buy a bunch
of balloons ASAP.
We got to the shop
at about 8:00.
And I knew it was going to be
a frantic morning.
We have just 3 1/2 hours
to get everything ready.
Signage had to be posted.
We had leaflets that had to be
distributed on the streets.
It was a beehive of activity.
Dun da-dun!
Yeah!
Sweet.
I like that.
Nice.
KEVIN: All the printed materials
show up.
I like the whole Terrell Owens
catching, you know,
the pie thing.
I think that's really cool.
But if you look at the photo,
it just says the word
"celebrity"
and then a big picture
of Geraldo,
which was pretty funny.
Hey, I got some, uh, fliers.
We should start
handing them out.
Hi.
Can I give you this?
Please consider having
some lunch with us today.
Flier, buy it.
Help out a charity.
Johnny Damon, Gilbert Gottfried,
Kevin Jonas.
Who else you got?
I'm the closest thing
to Chris Brown there is.
Chris Brown.
TERRELL:
We wanted to just notify people
that was passing by
that there was gonna be an event
here at Pie Face.
MAN:
T.O.! Terrell!
Yeah.
Jets need you, man.
WOMAN: Ooh, Johnny!
Johnny!
Hey, guys.
Hey.
We used our celebrity status
to our advantage.
The fans,
they recognized myself.
They recognized Johnny Damon.
Johnny Damon.
Oh, my God.
You're the only Boston Red Sock
I ever liked.
Oh, well,
thank you very much.
Welcome to New York.
Thank you very much.
We miss you.
Thank you.
SIG: Johnny, man, the guy's
a hero in this town.
He could be serving
saltwater from the ocean
and the women would drink it.
Thank you. Sorry if there's
a little bit of a line.
JOHNNY:
As you can tell, they still love
me here in New York City.
And I love it here, too.
So, it's gonna be a great day.
GILBERT: I should have worked
in a pie factory.
I know I missed my calling.
KEVIN:
Gilbert is an interesting man.
I'm not so sure how much money
he can bring in,
but he makes you laugh.
I just wanted to tell you it's
time for your prostate exam.
If you could bend over?
I have very little fingers.
You're funny.
Okay.
It's getting late.
Why don't you give out --
In other words,
"Get away from me."
No, no, no. I love you.
I love you.
I just, uh, we got --
we got to keep you busy.
Geraldo, he was very dismissive
of Gilbert.
He loves me.
He really does.
KEVIN: At a certain point,
Geraldo told him,
"Just go supervise
the balloons."
And he turned it into a schtick.
Geraldo told me
to supervise the balloons.
I don't exactly know
how you supervise balloons.
Hey, you!
Get those balloons up there!
There are three of you.
Stop slacking off!
Once he was outside, he turned
it into something for himself.
He made it fun.
He was great.
So, maybe Geraldo knew
what he was doing.
But from the attitude behind it,
it did not seem that way.
I'm here
to supervise balloons!
[ Car horn honks ]
KESHIA: Okay, guys?
Guys, guys, guys.
As we talk,
we're wasting time.
JAMIE: Okay.
So, I just need you
to make pies.
KESHIA: We had a lot to do.
We had a little time to do it.
And I just wanted to make sure
we didn't drop the ball.
Keshia just said
we got the kitchen.
Are you in with us?
Well, I've asked her
several times,
but she hasn't really given me
anything to do.
JAMIE: There's a few roles
that were pretty unclear.
And a lot of the girls
were getting frustrated.
So, you can do the hot cocoa,
is what I would like you to do.
We're doing it now.
KENYA: Brandi's doing it.
Oh. Oh, wait.
Time-out.
I forgot.
Keshia was driving me crazy.
Micromanaging us without
even consulting us at all.
We have literally 15 minutes
to open.
KATE:
I'm doing my best.
Who else knows
how to pipe?
Clearly I make ugly faces,
but I always say --
No, I was just saying to have
more hands on deck
'cause I feel you're
a little tired, I guess.
KATE: She was definitely
all over the place.
Oh, another egg wash,
guys.
I feel like a good delegator
sizes someone up,
finds their strength,
hands it to them, walks away.
We need to set aside
those V.I.P. pies.
Unfortunately, she wants
her hand in every pie,
no pun intended.
Oh, no.
It's broken.
Should we all try
a little piece?
KESHIA: Wait, you guys.
We don't want to eat
them because that's
eating our profit.
SHAWN:
We cannot sell that.
My friends won't care
if it's not pretty
because it's really
about the charity.
We haven't given any up
except that one.
Okay.
SHAWN:
I feel like Keshia should be
doing a little better
than she is.
She had a day
to get the bumps out.
I took a deep breath
and tried to have some faith
that things would just
come together
and we would all figure it out.
But that doesn't give the team
much confidence.
.
[ Funky music plays ]
KESHIA: Ladies,
I don't want to cry.
But I just wanted to say
thank you, thank you,
thank you, thank you.
Let's sell, sell, sell.
KESHIA:
It was almost time to open.
I was so excited
that people were there,
standing outside,
waiting for our event.
We are open for business.
Come on in.
GERALDO:
Are we ready to open up?
Hot coffee
coming through.
I got to give coffee
to these degenerates out here.
GERALDO: Before the door opens,
you just don't know.
All the preparation,
all the hard work --
you have no idea
how it's all going to turn out.
Ladies and gentlemen,
it is game on!
It is game on!
All the way around.
But when we opened those doors
and that crowd was there
around the block, I said,
"Baby, we got it made."
The first donation,
$10,000!
[ Cheers and applause ]
From Bill O'Reilly,
$10,000 in cash.
We're spinning.
We're roaring.
We're off to a great start.
Wait a second.
$20,000.
$20,000!
He doesn't look like someone
who eats pies.
Sean Hannity
gives $10,000!
Who's got cash?
Who's got credit?
Let's make it happen.
SIG:
Lot of younger gals showed up.
And of course that's for Kevin,
you know?
Oh, my God, it's Kevin!
Kevin!
Here's your three sweet.
Thank you.
Kevin! Kevin!
It's amazing what just a couple
of pushes on a button on a phone
can do and bang, you know?
You've got a bunch of screaming
girls running around.
KEVIN: Awesome.
Thank you very much.
GERALDO: If you have your pie --
Did you get your picture?
Geraldo was emceeing the event
in the middle of the room.
All right, let's go.
Come on.
We got to keep it going.
All right.
Let's keep it moving.
KEVIN: Standing in the center
of the flow of traffic
telling me to hurry up.
No schmooze.
Um, reverse that.
Time for schmoozing is later.
Get the money.
You know,
I understand motivation,
but that's not how to motivate
your team.
Keep it going.
Let's go. Let's go.
Hey, y'all!
We out here raising money.
We doing it.
Hi. Absolutely.
Yeah.
Thank you.
Yeah.
And any tips
would be awesome.
All right. All right.
We moving and grooving.
VIVICA:
Everyone had a position.
We have a savory chicken
and a sweet pear and blueberry.
We had some girls that were
at the doors being the greeters.
Jamie and Shawn's role
was to pass out the cakes,
package them up,
and get them to the customers.
Okay,
so we got $40 total.
My job
was to be the treasurer.
And we're doing
credit card.
Would you mind signing the back
of this receipt for me?
But then all of a sudden,
Keshia came over
and she was a treasurer, too.
Sweet times two
and that will be 20 bucks.
And thank you.
Are you giving us a $20 tip?
WOMAN: We are.
Oh!
KENYA:
Keshia was handling the money
instead of making sure that
the operation runs smoothly.
If you're just doing one job,
you're not managing
the entire project.
This gentleman
donated $250!
KESHIA: We did start off
with a lot of people
who were definitely giving
their hard-earned $20,
$50, $100, $250 there.
But it was an absolutely relief
when the bigger checks
started to come through.
On behalf of PeterMark Salon,
it's $10,000.
Whoo!
We just got
another $5,000.
Hey!
Another $5,000!
That's how you do!
You get some hugs
for that, child.
Money, heh! Money, money, money
was rolling today.
People were coming in and not
only were they buying the pies,
they were tipping on top of it.
So we were generating extra
revenue with a smile and a kiss.
Maria Menounos
has arrived!
LEEZA:
It felt so good to see our
people come through the door.
Maria just gave
a $5,000 tip!
A lot of people promise you
they're gonna be there.
But when someone
actually shows up,
it's just the greatest feeling
on Earth.
$5,000!
Whoo!
Yes!
BRANDI: Do any of you guys
have cash?
Yes.
Okay, perfect.
We'll go right here.
Hello.
Come on in.
Buy some pie.
BRANDI:
We were all hustling.
Good to meet you.
Yes. Pleasure to meet you,
as well.
Your hands are freezing.
I know.
I don't have gloves.
Kate was standing at the door
and just having conversations
with people.
We don't need that.
We need, like, a go-getter,
a hustler.
And I don't think
she was hustling.
Hi.
I don't know that
greeting people at the door
is helpful to our team.
GILBERT: Her mother had
an affair with a rooster.
The creature from Hell,
the half-woman, half-chicken.
Gilbert was bringing
all types of entertainment
out of the woodwork.
I brought Laurel and Hardy...
back from the dead.
From girls to a Howard Stern
lookalike...
Howard Sternish.
Howard Stern Lite.
TERRELL:
...to Joe Piscopo --
It was like he had
just a bag of people
just to keep
the entertainment going.
It's not a charity. I'm actually
working in a pie store.
[ Laughs ]
We have a challenge, everybody.
Claudia Jordan!
KENYA: So, Claudia said,
"You know what, Kenya?
"I'll come down.
I'll give you a lot of money.
But I have to throw a pie
in your face."
How much of that are you gonna
put on there, Brandi?
It's for charity!
Aim for the face,
not the hair.
She has other hair
in her room.
But I had a little plan
of my own.
Brandi!
[ All shouting ]
BRANDI:
I hate whipped cream.
I do not like to be sticky
unless I'm with,
like, a super-hot guy,
and then it's okay.
For charity!
KENYA:
It was so satisfying.
I wish I had 10,000 pies
to throw in her face.
I got pie faced.
Hey, the Cake Boss is here.
The Cake Boss.
Good to see you.
How are you?
LORENZO:
In walks Buddy, the Cake Boss.
Whichever pie Buddy likes
the most
will earn
a nice little bonus.
I did a low-calorie
chicken pot pie.
But women cook.
That's what they do.
You know, it only takes one pie
to impress a judge.
I think it's very buttery,
very flaky.
The only thing that I would say,
it's a little under-salted.
Let's try the sweet.
Crust is
a little over-baked.
You over-baked the crust
a little bit.
KEVIN: Buddy bites into the pie
and instantly he says,
"The pie crust
is a little overcooked."
Sig did burn a batch.
[ Sighs ]
KATE:
The Cake Boss is in the house!
The savory is our chicken
enchich-chala, enchilada.
A.K.A. taco.
VALASTRO:
Try savory first.
Let's see how we did.
Cooked good.
Not over-baked.
Maybe you guys tried to put
too much
as far as flavors
are fighting...
Mm-hmm.
...as far as
in the filling goes.
KESHIA: Okay.
All right. Now the sweet.
Never been so nervous
of someone eating food!
[ Laughter ]
Oh, my God.
So, the sweet one,
I think you guys nailed it.
[ Cheers and applause ]
The blueberries had the tart
with the pears being sweet.
The flavors really balance
and marry together well.
They went with a different,
unique idea, and they nailed it.
Bye-bye.
Good to see you.
I got to say, I was really
surprised with both teams.
But I'm gonna talk to Mr. Trump,
and I think I know
what I got to do.
Anybody
who brought nothing in?
KEVIN:
Lorenzo at the moment.
KEVIN: Lorenzo had not
brought in any money.
I saw a discouraged face on him.
I just felt bad for him.
ANNOUNCER: And later...
It's just interesting
that he doesn't know
the amounts of the team
around him.
So you think
Geraldo did a bad job.
.
[ Airy music plays ]
KATE: I have a picture
of my check.
Okay.
It's coming.
It's on its way.
Okay.
Cross your fingers,
hope to die,
please never stick a needle
in my eye.
Okay.
Is it for a good amount?
Yeah.
Potentially $5,000,
I hope.
SHAWN: As long as she can get
in the door, she's fine.
We have to lock the doors
at 2:30.
Okay. Thank you.
We are trying really hard,
but the money
really isn't coming in.
And against the other team
who has, we know,
a lot of money,
I think, you know,
we could be in big trouble.
I wish I had
more rich friends.
[ Cheering ]
How are you?
All right.
SHAWN:
What's up, Mr. Morgan?
How are you doing?
Making lots of money?
Yes.
We had a line out the door.
You don't seem
very confident.
Did you remember my advice,
which was
"you got to get people
to pay big money for these"?
Otherwise,
you're gonna lose.
You can have lovely pies
and lots of big lines.
But if they're not coming in,
paying big money,
one of you's gonna be home
a bit earlier than you thought.
The women's pie shop
seemed a bit chaotic, to me.
No one seemed to be really
in charge,
and they weren't raising
much money.
There wasn't a real
driving leadership going on.
Everyone's pretty much
working their tails off.
Keshia's been doing
a good job,
like, trying to handle it
and organize, but it's a lot.
You feel like you all know
exactly what your job is.
SHAWN: Not necessarily.
KENYA: At times, no.
At times, no.
They weren't clearly defined.
We were getting switched around
in the middle of things.
And I think our team
is really strong together,
but we can only do as well
as the Project Manager does.
This one is yours.
Johnny Damon scores $5,000!
KEVIN:
Next customer, come on down.
From Modell's,
Gilbert Gottfried, $15,000!
That was me!
Gilbert.
I got that!
Who's next? Who's next?
Who's next? Step up.
Sig lands a check from Hooters,
$5,000.
Ian Ziering.
Hi.
Ian Ziering, "90210."
IAN: Oddly enough, working in
the Pie Face restaurant
was akin to working
in the Peach Pit.
I was almost gonna scream for
Nat to bring me a mega burger.
Here's your receipt.
You wanted a sweet pie.
WOMAN: Thank you.
So let me get that for you.
Because it's pies, that's really
where the fantasy fell apart.
Other than that,
um, similar experience.
With better hygiene.
GERALDO:
Piers Morgan's in the house.
Cheryl Mecuris,
a friend of Kevin Jonas --
KEVIN: That's my girl
right there.
$15,000!
Whoo!
$15,000!
That has been happening
all day long.
It's impressive.
All day long.
LORENZO: Next customer.
I could help but notice
that on the posters,
there are
two pictures of you.
Are you suggesting
that you are not just the star,
but you need at least
two images of you?
GERALDO: [ Chuckles ]
If I thought
that it would sell more pies,
I would have put
three pictures of myself.
Just buzzing with energy
and noise and massive lines.
I mean, they were lining up --
this goes 'round the back
20 miles.
I haven't seen a line
that big since I did
my last book signing.
It was -- no.
It was -- It's very impressive.
And they are clearly raking in
a ton of money.
How are you doing
money-wise?
I am up to $23,000.
For you personally?
For my bring-in.
And do you know
how the team's doing?
I have a consistent tally.
We've been keeping
a lot of track of it.
Anybody
brought nothing in?
So far, Lorenzo,
at the moment.
That's with larger donors
than $500.
KEVIN: Lorenzo had not
brought in any money.
And Lorenzo was standing
right in front of Piers.
And he looked at Piers
and was like --
I saw a discouraged face on him.
I felt --
I just felt bad for him.
He worked so hard.
And I will go to bat
with how hard he worked.
But he also brought in
the least amount of money.
Good luck.
See you tomorrow.
Okay. See you, Piers.
Okay, buddy.
KENYA: 10 minutes left,
everybody. 10 minutes left.
Whoo!
$5,000!
Whoo!
Yes!
Thank you, Senior Helpers.
Mwah!
Okay. You said he mentioned
that they had a check?
A lot of people came through.
A lot of people,
just the turnaround time
to get the money
was a challenge.
I know I have two checks,
really big checks,
that may come down to the wire.
H-H-How far away are they?
Is there anything we can do
to facilitate it?
Can I send someone
to come get it?
My hope is that we could do well
in terms of the taste test
for the sake of the bonus.
So, there's no room for fear,
as far as I'm concerned.
You did awesome.
Thank you.
You too.
You at least got checks in.
[ Chuckles ]
I had a friend who had
a good amount of money,
and he was trying
to get it to me.
But it didn't come in.
It's fine.
I didn't raise any money.
To say that I'm stressed
is an understatement.
.
[ Tense music plays ]
Hello.
VIVICA: Hello.
KENYA: Hello, Mr. Trump.
Look at my man over here.
How you doing, sir?
You think you did okay,
right?
I think we did
wonderfully.
You think you did
as well as this man, Piers,
who's gonna be advising?
Well, that's a high bar
to climb there,
but I think we did
pretty well.
I think you probably did.
How do you think you did?
We had a good team.
I feel like we definitely
worked well together.
We had an amazing turnout.
And, um, we all,
you know, worked very well
to get the --
the task completed.
And do you think you won?
That was our goal.
I do --
Do you feel that you won?
I feel like
we did our best
and that we have
a very good chance.
I know we're up against,
um, a great team here,
so I'm not underestimating
my opponent.
But we did a good job.
You know, it's very hard for me
to fire the first night.
You know that, right?
It's really very hard.
I don't like doing it.
People say, "Donald loves
to fire people."
I hate to fire people
unless I find them cheating,
stealing,
or any of that stuff.
Then I love it.
[ Laughter ]
But I hate to fire people
and especially --
so, it's a hard one
and, oh, would I hate
to fire you, Geraldo.
[ Chuckles ]
That's nice of you, Mr. Trump.
I'll never live it down.
He will be after me for the rest
of my life, which is okay.
IVANKA:
But they already are.
And he already is.
That's true.
So, you feel good about it?
I feel very good
about it.
Who was the star
of your team?
Well, I must say,
in terms of fundraising,
since it was a fundraiser,
definitely Leeza.
She had the checks coming
very consistently
and in large amounts.
Congratulations.
That's very good.
Um, also --
You're all shaking your head.
You think
she did a good job?
VIVICA: Yes.
Yeah. Leeza,
in terms of the fundraising.
Who else was good?
I do feel that Jamie and Kate
as well as Shawn
did a very good job
with the actual making
and kind of really
getting in there
and getting
in the kitchen.
It was definitely
a group effort
in terms of tasting and making
sure we liked the flavor.
By the way,
you sound very dynamic.
Would you say good?
Yes. Excellent.
She did a good job?
Excellent
Project Manager.
Very impressive.
All right.
So, Shawn, what do you think?
SHAWN:
It was a great experience.
I think there was
a lot going on.
And I did my duties and jobs
that I was told in the kitchen.
But I think,
you know, overall,
there was a little chaos
going on
in knowing
your specific job.
Would you say you won?
Or based on
what you just said,
do you think
maybe you didn't win?
I don't think we won.
You don't think you won?
I don't think so.
You just were not --
In other words,
you don't think
you did that well.
I think we did well
as a team working.
But I think there are
a lot of strong guys
on the men's team who brought in
probably bigger checks.
Do you think it's a better team
than the women's team?
I wouldn't say that.
I think they probably had better
access to more fundraising.
Vivica, do you think
they're a better team?
No, I do not.
Why?
Because, the women,
we worked very hard.
And yet Shawn thinks
you didn't win.
That's Shawn's opinion.
There has to be a reason
for that.
She's entitled
to her opinion for that.
I'm not threatened
by them.
I believe the ladies
worked extremely hard
to make sure
that we were successful.
IVANKA: You're certainly
an articulate group.
It's very impressive
hearing you all talk.
VIVICA: Thank you. Thank you.
TRUMP: That is true.
Did you think, ladies,
that you can win this show
just by working hard
as a team?
KENYA:
I think that's part of it.
KATE: Yes.
I think that's part of it.
But fundamentally speaking,
you win
on this particular challenge
by the amount of money
that you bring in.
'Cause, see, I would saying
having done this show,
it's very grueling,
very tough.
VIVICA: Yes.
Having done it and won it,
I can tell you that working hard
as a team is fine.
You've got to be cunning.
You've got to be quite ruthless.
And on the fundraising,
you've got to focus
absolutely on one thing --
raising money.
And I did tell you that.
VIVICA: Yes.
I came in and advised you
of that for a reason,
because that's how you win
against a guy like Geraldo.
TRUMP: Okay.
Kenya,
who was the weakest player?
Hmm.
Maybe the Project Manager.
Why?
She's very enthusiastic.
She took control of the team.
But at the end of the day,
this is about fundraising,
and I don't think
that we had clear directives
on the timelines,
the focus,
on what the task
was really about.
And at the end of the day,
we have to have the most money
raised in order to win.
So, Shawn, is that what you were
alluding to?
SHAWN:
I honestly wasn't.
I think just we fell into
a strategy as a team
where we were more focused
on winning by taste
than we were by winning
the fundraising point.
So you just don't think
you raised enough money.
I do not.
Okay. I understand that.
Geraldo, what do you think
of your team?
GERALDO: I think we won, boss,
and I'll tell you why.
We are Team Vortex.
It's a powerful name
for a powerful team.
We are an eclectic group
when you look at us.
We are a cross section
of American manhood.
And I think everyone brought
a certain talent to the team.
There was power there.
There was purpose.
Okay, good.
What did you think of Geraldo,
Gilbert,
as your Project Manager?
I thought he did
a great job --
unless you thought
he did a bad job,
in which case,
he was terrible.
[ Laughter ]
I expected no less.
I'm not sure how I felt
about his Puerto Rican side,
but his Jew side
I was with 100%.
[ Laughter ]
Do you think your team won?
I think our team won.
GERALDO: You know,
it's interesting --
How do you find Gilbert?
You know,
he's a different kind of a guy.
I thought, at first, he was
going to be like Mr. Magoo,
kind of, like,
blindly bumping into walls
and, you know, going in,
phasing in and out of character.
But I must say,
when push came to shove,
Gilbert Gottfried
really stuck up to the plate.
He really did.
He got celebrities there.
He got checks there.
He's a surprising and easily
underestimatable person.
Okay.
So, who raised the most money?
Lorenzo, do you know?
I believe Geraldo raised
the most money.
Oh. Well, I'm not
that surprised, right?
There is
an interesting psychology
towards making the decision
of being
the first Project Manager.
What was your thought process
on accepting this, Geraldo?
Once the team accepted
the name Vortex,
which was my suggestion,
it seemed almost
the natural progression.
I'm also the only native-born
Manhattanite.
Mm-hmm.
So I was on home territory,
to that extent.
I had a home-field
advantage.
But you came into the task
with a high level of confidence,
that you had friends
that you could call upon
to raise capital.
I am a confident person
by nature.
Did anyone on your team
not assist you in that effort?
Well, I -- you'll --
We can check person by person,
but I --
Oh, you know.
Come on.
You know, it is --
at this sta--
because I believe
we won --
Well, who raised nothing?
I -- If you raised nothing,
raise --
Let me ask you this.
Did anybody raise nothing?
KEVIN:
Or are you unaware?
I don't know how much
Ian and Lorenzo raised.
Ian, did you do --
IAN: I brought in funds.
You brought in funds.
Somewhere between
$7,000 and $9,000.
All right. Well, that's good.
Who else?
And, Lorenzo, I don't know
how much you raised.
Do you know, Lorenzo?
TRUMP: Well, did everybody
raise something?
LORENZO: I have --
I have an estimate.
What's that?
It's under
what Ian raised.
But it is some--
it is something.
The number I have
is approximately $100.
It's more than that
because I had people
that came to the store to see me
that donated.
We don't have
those figures.
Did everybody on the team
raise money?
If you consider $100
raising money --
No, I don't consider that
raising money.
PIERS: Geraldo, can I --
can I ask you something?
When you hear that some members
of your team raised $100 --
arguably a very low amount
of money, right? --
does a little part of your
ruthless, cynical, newsman head
say, "Mm, they're holding
their money back.
"They've got money
and they've got access to it,
"but they're holding it back
so they don't help me
but they may help themselves
in a task down the line"?
And if so,
how do you feel about that?
.
[ Ominous music plays ]
PIERS:
When you hear that some members

arguably a very low amount
of money, right? --
does a little part of your
ruthless, cynical, newsman head

"They've got money
and they've got access to it,
"but they're holding it back
so they don't help me
but they may help themselves
in a task down the line"?
And if so,
how do you feel about that?
I didn't anticipate that Lorenzo
would have access to --
to a great deal
of money.
Really?
I would think he would.
When people exist
in the reality world --
Just with women
that he's known over the years,
you think he'd probably be able
to raise a lot of money.
Well, they've taken most of it,
but they --
They've taken it.
Great.
I can relate to that,
as well.
IVANKA: Kenya looks like
she disagrees with that.
[ Chuckles ]
Well, let me ask you.
Terrell, how much did you raise?
Uh, around $900.
Not a lot.
So, Geraldo,
you're the Project Manager.
If your team loses,
who should I fire?
There is no way
on God's Green Earth --
Okay. But, well,
then it's got to be you.
But then it's got to be you.
So, if you lose,
who should I fire?
Because,
as Piers suggests,
the prime goal
is raising money for charity,
I think you have to take it
in reverse order.
The first person fired
has to be the person
who raised
the least amount of money.
I think that that --
And who is that?
I believe, you know,
just in terms of arithmetic,
it goes Lorenzo
and then Ian.
I think
that's just arithmetic.
Ian, did you raise less money
than Terrell?
I raised more money
than Terrell.
KEVIN: It's just interesting
that he doesn't know
the amounts
of the team around him.
You know,
as a Project Manager --
That your Project Manager
doesn't?
Yeah, I would have come
to the treasurer
at the end of the task
and asked,
"How much did each one
bring in?"
PIERS:
I mean, I totally agree.
And that's the one thing
I'm surprised about Geraldo,
given how organized
you are,
that you don't know
all those numbers.
But you're brining up a point
which is interesting.
So, you think, in that regard,
Geraldo did a bad job?
KEVIN: It's not
that he did a bad job.
It's just that,
as a Project Manager,
I feel like that's
part of the goal.
Are you surprised that he's
bringing this up, Geraldo?
GERALDO:
I announced every check.
If I were to give you
a guesstimate,
I think I'd come pretty darn
close to how much each raised.
But you're saying
that Ian brought in
less than Terrell,
which --
Well, they --
it's chump change.
Ivanka, you probably have it
there, right?
IVANKA: Yeah,
I can give you the tally.
Lorenzo brought in the least
at $100.
Terrell brought in
the second least at $750.
All right. Well, that's
what Terrell said, then.
Yes.
I like that.
And, actually,
that's what Lorenzo said.
IVANKA: What's interesting
to me, though,
is there still is
a product component.
And nobody here knows
how much the bonus will be
for cooking a great pie
or two pies.
TRUMP: Okay. So, there's
a lot of money at stake.
It's gonna be $25,000
by Toshiba.
Great company.
And the winner of this
gets $25,000.
So, Ivanka, let me ask you.
The Cake Boss, what did he think
of the men's pies?
He thought that the low-calorie
pie was a great concept.
He thought
that the dough was good.
He thought that the filling
lacked salt.
So, one of the things
he emphasized,
which does makes sense,
when it is low calorie
and there's
less natural flavor,
you have to compensate
with a little bit more sodium.
And he thought
that you fell short there.
In terms of the Vortex pie,
which was the chocolate
and vanilla one,
he also thought
that was relatively tasty,
a bit underwhelming,
but that the pie crust
was burnt.
That it was burnt.
Geraldo!
I didn't get
a single consumer complaint
about the Vortex pie.
That's terrible.
Okay, with that, Piers,
what did the Cake Boss think
of the women?
PIERS: He thought the savory pie
smelled good,
was not over-baked.
The filling had too many flavors
going on.
They definitely missed the mark
with the savory pie.
The pearberry pie,
the sweet one,
looked cute, smelled good.
They nailed it with the balance
of sweet and tart combination
of pear and blueberry.
So he loved your sweet pie.
TRUMP: Not bad.
So, Buddy Valastro,
who is the Cake Boss, after all,
liked one more than the other
quite a bit.
$25,000, Geraldo,
goes to the women.
VIVICA: Yes!
KENYA: Yeah!
KATE: Yes!
[ Cheering ]
So, that could really be
the difference,
and that's going to be added up
in the score.
Who put the most impact into
the recipe for the sweet pie?
Which person?
Jamie.
JAMIE: I don't want
take one --
The reason
this is absolutely crucial
is that if you've lost
and it comes down
to responsibility,
effectively, that idea
has brought in $25,000.
TRUMP:
That's interesting.
Shawn,
does this change your mind,
the fact that you just won
$25,000 for your team?
Do you think
maybe now you have won?
Or do you still feel
you lost?
If I'm giving
just my opinion, my feel,
being a part
of the social media,
I saw the 4.3 million followers
that Kevin had.
I know
Geraldo's background.
So, I, personally,
from the get-go,
thought that there'd be $100,000
right off the bat.
And I didn't quite feel that
from us.
So...
So you still think you lost.
Mm-hmm.
Even with the $25,000.
You think so, too, Kate?
KATE: Yes.
Unfortunately, I do.
That's interesting.
Keshia, you put a lot of premium
on social media
as Project Manager, right?
And yet, I would question
that as a strategy
to waste a lot of time on
because the first thing I would
have done, in your position,
was go, "Well, how many
followers do we have
on Twitter between us?"
Answer -- 2.2 million.
Kevin alone has double that.
One of their team, and you can
check that in 10 seconds.
BRANDI: Right. We did.
KESHIA: What I --
PIERS: Right, so, why would you
target them at their own game?
BRANDI:
Because we didn't --
You basically lit the fire.
He does one Tweet
that blows you to pieces.
KESHIA:
What I can say is this.
We did not -- We did not
solely rely on social media.
It's understood
if it's a fundraiser,
it's about brining in funds,
period.
And I expected everybody
to reach out to the people --
Let me ask you about
that, then, because this
is really important.
Yes.
Did you ask
each one of them
how much money
they could bring in
before you even got down
to the pie shop?
Did you do that?
We discussed the relationships
that we had.
Did I ask the specific --
I had more of a grassroots
approach to this,
making sure that we could get
the people there.
What I knew
was the people --
You see, that, immediately,
Keshia, to me --
Mm-hmm.
...spells trouble.
Okay.
The moment I hear grassroots
rather than big trees --
Right.
...I'm thinking, "Uh-oh."
So, Piers,
let's get down to it.
How did the women do?
PIERS: Team Infinity,
you know you had $25,000 already
as a bonus from Toshiba,
but you also raised
a further $68,412,
bringing your total
to $93,862.
Okay. Good job.
Very good job.
JAMIE: Yeah, girls!
[ Applause ]
Ivanka,
how did the men's team do?
Geraldo, your team raised
$185,322.
KEVIN: Yes.
KEVIN: Great job.
Congratulations,
Geraldo.
That means you raised $280,000
for your charity.
What is your charity?
Life's Work.
This is the kids who were
previously institutionalized
in the big, grim institutions
that I exposed
for the developmentally
disabled.
We give them
a place to live.
Geraldo, I think it's great.
Thanks, boss.
We're all proud of you.
$280,000 for your charity.
Great job.
Go to your beautiful
Trump Tower suite.
Enjoy yourself.
If you want, you can watch.
It will not be pretty.
Thank you.
Congratulations, Kevin,
everybody.
VIVICA:
Congratulations, guys.
Congratulations.
Sig, good job.
KATE: Nice work, guys.
Keshia,
you and your team stay here.
One of you will be fired.
.
[ Mid-tempo music plays ]
GERALDO: Whoo!
IAN: Yeah, guys.
Whoo-hoo!
All right.
Congratulations,
Geraldo.
Thank you.
Congratulations to all of us.
You led us
to the victory.
GERALDO:
I feel enormously gratified.
It is an amazing amount of money
going to this charity
that's so near and dear
to my heart.
LORENZO: Vortex!
One, two, three.
Vortex!
KEVIN:
We'll work on that.
Got to work
on that one.
We did as good a job
that any collection of eight men
in this country could have done.
We are ready for anything.
Yep.
Yes!
KEVIN: Turn the TV on.
Come on.
Here we go.
TRUMP:
Keshia, what happened?
KESHIA: We did the best with
the resources that we had.
I knew Geraldo was going to
raise a lot of money.
That's why I tried
to toe the line
between
getting the people in,
using the resources
of everyone who is here
and the access they had,
and making a good pie.
I knew that the bonus
was gonna be substantial,
and I tried to factor
everything in.
Keshia, how about the teammates,
generally?
Do you think
that there was anyone
who didn't step up to the plate
economically
in a way that surprised you?
Well, what I would say,
with it being a fundraiser,
that's exactly what it is.
And there were, you know,
several, you know --
I understand.
You know, there were checks
that I had that didn't come.
However, Jamie, Kate, and Shawn
didn't have substantial checks
whereas the rest
of the ladies did.
KATE: I put --
Just, if I'm allowed
to speak, your honor.
No. [ Chuckles ]
TRUMP: Go ahead.
Go ahead, Kate.
You're not on trial.
I've been in court
a lot in my life. Um, I --
How much did you --
You have been in court a lot.
How much did you raise,
actually?
I actually didn't raise
anything, and --
Should you be fired for that,
Kate?
I don't feel
that I should.
And thank you for
the opportunity to explain that.
Because, you know,
you walk away and you think,
"Crap,
I let my team down."
Knowing that this was
a money-raising challenge,
knowing that I did not
hold back,
that I reached out
to everyone that I know,
knowing that a check was
on its way and got snowed out.
So who should be fired,
Kate?
[ Sighs ]
I love you for asking me that,
but I really don't.
I would think of someone
fairly quickly
because to raise
zero dollars,
I think
you're in big trouble.
So if I was you,
if I was your agent,
I would be advising
some bus-throwing pretty quickly
because you're in trouble.
Yeah,
I would like to say that
in the absence of the ability
to raise funds, hard work.
Um, I think that in
a Project Managing situation,
this was not
an easy task.
And I believe that Keshia
was well-intended.
I stepped --
You did a lot of the baking,
didn't you?
And I did.
I greeted people.
Right?
Is that true, Vivica?
I was never given a task
straightforward.
She did a lot of the baking.
You were not given --
That's not true.
BRANDI: Not true.
KATE: And Keshia really wanted
everything to go well,
and I understand that need.
But in the life that I live,
I just kind of compared it to,
if I have help,
I need to hire help
who has expertise
and find their strength
immediately and give them that,
walk away,
and allow them to excel.
And I heard a few murmurings
here and there
that people felt like
every time you did something,
it would come
and be undone.
There was at one point --
and I just need to use
an example or two --
where there was
a 10-minute lecture
20 minutes before the store
opened and was spotless.
By who?
By Keshia over a pie
that crumbled.
But that's okay.
She's Project Manager.
KESHIA: Wait. Let me --
Let me -- Let me interject here.
A pie that crumbled
and why we shouldn't have
allowed someone to eat it.
Let me interject here.
That is untrue.
It was -- It was hard.
That is untrue.
It was not a 10-minute lecture.
It was one comment
because they were eating the pie
and I said, "This is the way
we bring in money.
This is a fundraiser.
We cannot eat our profit."
A pie that fell into two pieces
was not sellable.
KESHIA: Well, let me --
BRANDI: We could have --
KESHIA: And let me also say
that I was very clear
on what your job was.
I was very clear
with everyone.
We went over that
several times.
Brandi, who's right?
Who's right, Brandi?
We have to make sure the pie
tastes good to sell it.
I was the eater of the pie,
okay? I did eat the pie.
If you don't know your product
and what it tastes like,
how can you market
and sell it?
Brandi?
Kate was lazy.
And I say that --
Kate was what?
Lazy.
Holy crap.
She stood around talking
while we all did every job
that we could.
I asked her to go outside
and bring people in.
[ Scoffs ]
She decided to sit and talk --
to talk to people to try
to get them to spend more.
But she kind of just
danced around talking.
I was outside. I was yelling.
I was dancing.
I was embarrassing
myself.
I disagree.
I think Kate
was working really hard.
I didn't see her being lazy.
LEEZA: I didn't see it.
KENYA:
I disagree, as well.
I mean, my criticism would be
the lack of money-raising.
See, Keshia, when I walked in,
I thought it was quite chaotic.
And I'll tell you why --
not because
everyone was running around.
In fact, the opposite.
You had about half the team
standing around.
It seemed to me
completely clear
what they were
supposed to be doing.
GERALDO: Geez.
This is intense.
Is this gonna --
This is the beginning.
I don't know if I got
the body armor for this.
LORENZO:
This is getting good now.
.
[ Ominous music plays ]
IVANKA: Vivica, knowing what
you know now about the team
and their relative strengths
and weaknesses...
Yes.
...and knowing how strong
Geraldo was
in terms of fundraising...
Mm-hmm. Right.
...do you think
you could have won?
That's a difficult question
for me to answer, but I will.
Um, I was extremely proud
of Keshia.
God. I'm trying not to get
emotional.
I'm gonna answer for you,
and I'm gonna say yes.
TRUMP: Oh, wait.
Hold on.
I'm gonna get it.
Vivica, so, why were you proud
of her, though? Why?
I was proud of her
because I thought
that she really put
her best foot forward.
I agree.
And --
Evidently,
you don't, though.
But you know what?
You tried.
No, I'm not saying you.
And we all tried.
But --
And we tried very hard.
I was out on the street
trying to bring people in.
We were --
We tried very hard.
I didn't know
you were so emotional.
There's something nice about it.
It's a love thing.
I'm not trying to take
the wimpy way out.
All right.
I understand.
But I really feel like she
really tried very hard to --
I gave it
my all.
I think
we all --
Can I speak and say
that I agree, for the record?
KENYA: I think we all have been
supportive of each other,
but to Ivanka's initial
question, who was holding back?
And if I were Rudy Huxtable
and I was known for being
America's favorite daughter --
Well, aside from Ivanka.
[ Chuckles ]
I would have called my TV dad
for a contribution.
We don't -- Mm.
And I asked Keshia specifically,
"Did you call Mr. Cosby?"
Well, there is a truth to that.
KESHIA: Let me say this.
She didn't tap into
those resources.
KESHIA: Regardless --
And she said something about
holding that back.
Right, you know,
when I look at Shawn,
when I look at Jamie,
when I look at different people,
I mean, they don't really have
the access.
They're great athletes,
but they don't know
lots of really rich people,
I guess.
Right?
But I have to tell you --
I'm just, like,
shaking.
Are you okay?
Yes.
We can get you
some Kleenex.
No, I'll be fine.
Get some Kleenex!
I have one in my bra,
but I don't think
you want to use it.
I got a dabba-doody right here.
I'm gonna be all right.
You have it? Are you okay?
Yes.
Just in the corner.
I love emotion, though.
It's nice.
What I know is this.
Something very nice, right?
What I know is this.
Yes, I worked --
But you have Bill Cosby.
Yes, I worked with Bill Cosby.
You could have called him.
That was
how many years ago?
And, by the way, a check from
him would be like a penny.
She never picked up
the phone.
Can I say this?
And I think
that's holding back.
And you understand that.
I understand that.
And for me to go out --
I was gonna ask that question.
...and we're on the phone, we're
hustling up money for people.
I'm casting a net
trying to catch a whale.
IVANKA: But you don't understand
that, Kenya, right?
I mean, you're sort of saying
you don't understand it.
I'm trying
to catch a whale
when other people are trying
to catch goldfish.
This is what I have to say.
Did you call Bill?
I did not.
I have not talked
to Bill Cosby on the phone
in I don't know how long.
So for me
to pick up the phone
having not talked to you
for five years
except for when
we run into each other
for a "Cosby" event, I feel
that's not my place to do.
TERRELL: Oh, my gosh.
Imagine being married
to Kenya.
You'd be sleeping
with your eyes open.
JOHNNY:
That's why we're not.
GERALDO: That's why we're not.
[ Laughs ]
KESHIA: I was on the
phone, making phone
calls to my resource
from the moment I was chosen
as Project Manager
through the entire
project.
We all were.
One thing you can say --
No, everyone was not.
Everyone was not.
Everyone did not.
You know, we had done
the social media --
But doesn't Kenya bring up
a good point
that you have
this tremendous guy...
Mm-hmm.
...with a tremendous amount
of money.
In one phone call, you could
have won the whole task,
you know, very easily.
LEEZA: But -- excuse me, sir.
But in Keshia's defense,
she was calling her resources
while she was changing.
PIERS: No, but the point is,
there's resources and resources.
If you've got Bill Cosby
and you worked with him --
But she was calling
big names.
But we all were.
Well, at least, I know I was.
I mean, there's no harm
in putting a call in and
saying, "For charity, Bill."
SHAWN: It's for charity.
My point is this, Keshia.
You elected to be
Project Manager.
Geraldo, we know,
did that, too.
Yes.
But he did it
in the sure knowledge
he had a couple of billionaires
coming down...
Yes.
...to buy his pies.
That empowered him to say,
"I'm gonna lead this team."
'Cause it's so high risk
to be first up.
You raised $7,000 or $8,000.
It's a very small amount
to have seized
the Project Manager mantle
on a fundraising task.
Huge risk if you didn't have
a Bill Cosby lined up.
TRUMP: It is true.
So, Vivica, you feel
very strongly about this
in terms of I think
you think everyone
just did a good job.
You know somebody has to go,
somebody's going to be fired.
Absolutely.
I definitely know that.
But collectively,
as a team, I would say
that we all tried very hard
to accomplish the goal
of getting people out, bak--
doing a good product.
We wanted to make sure
that our pies tasted good.
Was the energy, Vivica,
directed in the right way?
This is the crucial bit now.
Because it seems to me,
right from the start here,
it's been directed
in the wrong ways.
The focus should have been
specifically on fundraising.
And I did try and help you
think that way.
Yes, you did. You did.
You absolutely --
Because, in the end,
you have the nicest pies
in the world,
it's not gonna beat Geraldo.
Although you did pick up
$25,000.
Exactly.
In our defense.
So, that was something
that we --
So, that was something
you can't totally discredit.
And that is something
that I said.
I was very clear
that this was a fundraiser.
I understood.
I had a lot of tasks.
I was very --
I had a hand in helping,
in making sure
everything came together,
and we worked as a team.
We have a lot
of very dynamic personalities
with very strong opinions
who were very determined
to do what they --
Keshia, how much did you raise?
I raised, um,
I believe,
um, about -- it should have been
at least around --
I know $7,000
because that was the check.
So, do you think, though, and --
do you think, in retrospect,
it was a bit naive
to go into a fundraising task
as a Project Manager
with only around $7,000
in the well
for you to draw from?
Well, no, because I had other
checks that did not make it.
So, I went in --
So, what do you think?
Like, going into the task, what
did you think you could raise?
I believed
that I could raise,
um, around
the $30,000-plus mark.
That was what I had
for me to handle.
I felt this was also
my opportunity
to show what I'm made of,
to show that I have the
character, I have the tenacity,
I have the work ethic.
You know,
at the end of the day --
And you know what?
You've done that.
Yes.
In many ways,
you've done that.
You didn't happen to win,
but you've done that.
Right.
There's nothing
to be ashamed of.
Now I'm gonna ask you
to do something.
Mm-hmm.
You're going to have to pick
two people
to come back
into the boardroom with you.
Okay.
And somebody from that group
of three will be fired.
Okay.
Who are they gonna be?
I'm gonna have to --
from day one,
it's about what's fair.
And if you raised
the least amount of money --
it would have to be
Jamie and Kate.
Okay. Very good.
Everyone else, go back
to your beautiful suite.
KENYA:
Thank you, Mr. Trump.
Enjoy yourselves.
VIVICA: Thank you.
Thank you.
VIVICA: Thank you.
Thank you very much.
Geraldo,
turn off your TV right now.
Thank you.
She's going home.
Project Manager's going home.
Yeah.
I would say, sadly,
that's who it's gonna be.
The boardroom.
It is what it is.
What can you do?
.
[ Soft-tempo music plays ]
Ladies, you can go back
into the boardroom now.
I just want to say
that there are no losers here.
You've all done a great job.
With that, Keshia,
why are you bringing in Jamie,
who really seems
to have been responsible
for winning you $25,000?
I mean, the Cake Boss
loved what she did.
KESHIA:
I'm bringing Jamie back
because in terms of the numbers
that were actually brought in
through soliciting
donations,
she actually brought
very little in, as well as --
but I understand
the Cake Boss part.
But didn't she do a great job
with respect to the pie
that won you $25,000?
She absolutely did do
a great job with the pie.
However, I can't totally give
her that $25,000
because it was a group effort,
because Shawn helped.
You know,
she was there doing it.
I was helping, as well,
with the taste testing
to get the taste,
the flavor correctly.
You know,
we had a consultation.
So, what percentage
would you say
Jamie was responsible for
of the $25,000?
How much is down to her?
I would say
probably under $5,000.
Wow, that's not very much.
$5,000.
That's very surprising.
The reason I would say that
is because it was definitely
a group effort.
And if you divide it evenly
among the people who helped,
I felt --
that's how I did it.
So, Jamie,
how would you respond to the --
I'm a little surprised
to hear it, frankly,
and I was surprised that
you were brought back
in for that reason.
How would you respond to that?
I'm surprised,
as well.
I think I worked
really hard
and kind of took that initiative
to create the pie.
And we did have help from a lot
of different sources.
IVANKA: It's a tough question
and there's no right answer,
because had you have given her
more credit,
she would have raised
more than you, Keshia.
Yes.
So, in some ways, her answer
was correct and smart.
PIERS: She deliberately put it
at $5,000
because that's just below
what you brought in.
Jamie, in your opinion,
who should I fire?
Kate or Keshia?
Flip a coin.
I'm too nice. I don't know.
I don't want anyone to go.
Jamie, you have to destroy
your opponents in the Olympics.
Yeah, but it depends on
how you look at it.
I look
at my competitors,
and I'm inspired
by what they're doing.
What if one of your competitors
in the Olympics
did what Keshia just did and
basically threw you under a bus?
How would you respond
in the Olympics,
in that sort of competition?
What would you --
What would you do?
Not take it personally.
What I have to say
is it was not my intent
to throw Jamie
under the bus.
That was not it.
You asked for my perspective,
if I saw --
I just thought
there were other people,
because of her success
with the baking and cooking
and whatever she was doing
with the pie,
I just thought
there were other people
that you might have brought back
before her.
Kate, would you have
brought back Jamie?
Never.
So, if you were me,
who would you fire?
Keshia.
Because roles were not
clearly stated
even after a lot of us requested
to have those roles.
I'm a very, "Give me a role,
I will excel."
When you say not stated --
by the Project Manager?
KATE: Correct.
IVANKA:
Keshia, do you think that Kate
has a lack of initiative?
I mean,
hearing what you just said,
that "I am very good
when told what to do" --
KATE: Oh, no. Oh.
...that short-changes yourself
a little bit, doesn't it?
Oh, please do not
hear me say that.
And thank you
for allowing me to clarify.
I believe that the reason
our team succeeded
and the pies got done
and everything got done
is because in the absence
of a strong leader,
there were a lot
of strong personalities
who stepped up and dotted,
dot to dot,
filled in the lines.
But at the end of the day,
Kate --
I want to say, Keshia,
if you can let me,
it was well intended.
You led and you were brave
and strong.
But any plan
that is well intended
and does not turn out well,
does fall.
Oh, and let me say --
For example,
if I have a plan --
I hear you. One second.
I hear you.
...and it falls apart,
it's always my fault
if I'm in charge.
I absolutely --
What I have to say is this.
I absolutely hear you.
It just is.
I absolutely hear you.
I took a big risk.
And I hope that speaks
to the person that I am.
My philo--
go big or go home.
I needed to prove
what I could do.
I understand
we did fall short.
However, we made a tremendous
amount of money --
Keshia, how can you say
you're gonna go big or go home
and then personally,
as Project Manager,
just bring in $8,000?
That's going small...
Right.
And what I have to say --
...with a virtual guarantee
of going home.
What I have to say is this,
is that that was not --
I had other checks
that did not make it.
And I get it.
But do you accept the --
You are --
I accept
responsibility.
Keshia,
do you accept that in the end,
checks that don't turn up
are completely irrelevant?
But that's why Kate
is here.
You've got to understand --
My $10,000 check
didn't come in
and I'm not talking about it
because it's not here.
My one check
would have done in
your fundraising, Keshia,
completely.
This is my thing.
It is exactly why --
But I'm here
because it's zero.
If my $25,000 check
does not count,
your $10,000 check
does not count.
But you have me
in this chair --
Keshia, do you accept
that you failed
in the fundraising aspect?
And you're still trying
to explain --
It's not adding up.
I accept that I did not do
as well as I could have
had that check come in.
However,
despite what's said here,
I think I did
an awesome job.
IVANKA: Professionally,
and obviously here today
in the boardroom,
on a personal level,
I have such respect for you
and I think
you're a great leader
and I think your team
had great respect for you.
I do think, though,
in choosing to bring
the two women that you chose to
bring back into the boardroom,
you're setting the tone
that it is just about money.
And then it has to fall
on you.
So can you explain
why you shouldn't be fired?
Absolutely, I can.
It's not
just about money for me.
The reason I'm here,
I'm playing for my charity
that is my heart and soul.
But --
Like, I put my everything
into it.
And, for me --
We all did.
...I wanted to come here.
I wanted to have
a great showing.
Well, you know you had
a great showing.
It was a great showing.
No, no.
You have had a great showing.
I think what Ivanka
is just alluding to,
you are a spectacular woman
and you have had
a great showing.
What is your charity,
by the way?
It's Kamp Kizzy.
It's a nonprofit
that's all about empowerment
and self-esteem for women.
And we're moving into
doing boys, as well.
For girls
and their transformation.
And I've heard great things
about it.
And I'll tell you
what I'm gonna do.
I'm gonna give you,
for your charity,
out of my wallet, $25,000.
Okay?
[ Whistles ]
Wow.
$25,000.
Thank you.
I think you're
an amazing person,
but you were
the Project Manager.
You didn't make one call
that I really believe that if
you called that gentleman,
he would have helped you
even if you hadn't
spoken to him in years
'cause you were an amazing team
with one of the most successful
shows ever.
So I think it would have been
a very good call to make
for charity.
But you have to take
responsibility.
I think you agree with that.
Okay.
And I'm doing that
for your charity.
And, Keshia, you're fired.
Thank you very much.
Thank you.
And a great job.
Thank you.
KATE: I hate it.
Thank you, ladies.
Please. Go back.
Thank you.
KATE: I hate hearing it.
KATE: Wow.
[ Elevator bell dings ]
That wasn't easy.
Not easy,
but the right decision.
I mean, you go head-to-head
with Geraldo
and you only bring in $8,000
yourself -- suicide.
IVANKA: It was interesting
to watch her, though.
She has a tremendous heart,
and I think she'll continue
to do great things...
PIERS: Yeah. Lovely lady.
...but not here.
She is terrific.
I agree with you.
[ Dramatic music plays ]
KESHIA: I felt that I did
a very good job.
To send me home
for a fundraising task
where the other two people
raised zero dollars
is kind of crazy to me.
Um, you know,
it is what it is.
I have to just continue
to raise money for Kamp Kizzy.
We're gonna continue to go on.
We're gonna continue
to go strong.
And that's the only choice
we have.
