Celebrity Apprentice Finale Recap

I have been a fan of Celebrity Apprentice as long as it has been on the air. If I ever missed a show, I watched it on the Internet, as soon as it became available. Following the first season, my kids gave me the DVD season set of The Apprentice. I enjoyed the Apprentice because it gave people, who might not otherwise get the chance, the opportunity to meet with Donald Trump and show their brain power and skill.

I wasn't too excited when this season was announced as a Celebrity Apprentice. However, after hearing Donald Trump promote the show on television, I couldn't help but watch. He emphasized the importance of Celebrity Apprentice in raising money for charity. It was a worthy cause and after all, I'm hooked on The Apprentice anyway. What I thought would be a disaster turned out to be one of the best Apprentice Season's yet.

14 Celebrities began the challenge, each competing to win money for their favorite charity. When it came down to the final two, Piers Morgan and Trace Adkins were left standing. There couldn't have been a more divergent rivalry. Both men competed for good causes; Piers raised money for fallen soldiers. Trace Adkins raised money for people, children in particular with food allergies.

Both men had the heart and will to win, but for different reasons and by different means.

Trace was exemplified the All American Cowboy. On many occasions that is how Piers Morgan spoke of him. Piers admitted the final competition was between an All American with a heart of gold and a caustic Brit with a mind for making money.

The final competition was a huge, private auction in which the men were to be judged on ticket sales, auction sales, and overall performance. Trace and Piers agreed that in the final analysis the emphasis was on making money for charity. They worked well together to pull off a fabulous event.
