If you are a fan of The Celebrity Apprentice, you should have watched Sunday's two-hour episode by now and know that Joan Rivers and Annie Duke will face off in the ultimate task.On April 23, I asked TV Squad readers to vote in an Annie Vs Joan poll. The question was simple "Who should win the war?" At the time I write this line, 43.3% voted for Joan, 35.4% said Annie, while 21.1% opted for Trump to fire them both. That means 21.1% of you are disappointed this week, as Trump decided to make Joan and Annie the two finalists.
No matter if you like or hate Annie and/or Joan, you have to admit that out of the four contestants that were left at the beginning of the episode, those two will offer the most entertaining finale. Now that we know it's officially Joan Vs. Annie, who do you think should be hired?
I've said it before and I'll say it again, Annie Duke would make a better Apprentice than Joan. Yes, Annie can't stop talking, including talking about herself, and is not that much liked by he peers, but she was a good project manager and even managed to beat Clint at making a jingle. As for Joan, she hasn't raised much money thus far, hasn't been a so-so project manager and almost quit the show. Why should she win it all when she was ready to leave when times got though for Melissa?
Even if my mind is made up, it'll be interesting to see them do the final task especially since previews showed the return of odd balls like Tom Green and Dennis Rodman.
Here I present you with two polls:
- Who should win Celebrity Apprentice? - Meaning the person YOU want to see win.
- Who will win Celebrity Apprentice? - Meaning the person you think TRUMP will hire.
Remember, The Celebrity Apprentice finale is a three-hour episode that starts at 8 pm on NBC this Sunday.

Trumps decision keep Joan was very disappointing due to the fact that he continually fires someone when they "quit" - Joan quit and he brought her back to keep his ratings up. Personally, I think I'll ban anything Joan is in just because of her nasty persona and verbal attacks. She's a ticking time bomb and very unprofessional.

I agree with your statement 150%. Throught the series, Annie raised more money, won more tasks and conducted herself in a professional manner. Yes, at times she may have come across demanding. As a project manager, you need someone that will lead. Joan on the other hand was constantly argumentative, rude, unprofessional and the remarks in reference to Hitler, were un called for. Clearly Donald Trump chose Joan, because he probably have some wheeling and dealing going on with her. Not to mention as business professional, how him and his team allowed Joan Rivers to speak to other contestants was vey upsetting. I doubt I will watch this show again, not to mention. I hope no other viewers watch it either.

I beleive Donald Trump got this one soooo wrong. Annie was cool, calm and business minded. Joan was a brat, a liar, said it was not about the charity. She has shown herself to be a complete, total disgrace on TV. This show NOW STINKS!!!!!!!! It was WAS SOOOOO obovious that Annie Duke should have won. Trump, you stunk on this one - you just kissed Joan's nasty, bratty, insulting ass.

When Trump picked Joan to win, as far as I"m concerned it's a reason to boycott the show. Calling someone a Nazi certainly shows Joan's take on life; and she should have been fired despite the fans insipid applause to support her. Not only that, Trump changed the rules and ignored the fact that Joan's conduct resulted in the design firm leaving the show. Even as a popularity contest, Annie should have been the winner!

I have lost a lot of respect for Donald Trump. I will not be watching any more of his shows. Absolutely unbelievable how Donald allowed Joan to, not only interrupt Annie,continuously, but to speak trashy towards Annie time after time. Ivanka stated that Joan was a "good role model". I never really had an opinion of Joan either way before the show, but after watching Celebrity Apprentice, I can not stand Joan and Joan is definately not a "role model". Joan told Annie that Annie was "white trash". However, I only saw Joan acting like white trash with all the filth coming out of Joan's mouth. Joan was unprofessional, trashy, disrespectful and had no business being chosen as the celebrity apprentice, much less being called a "role model".
Donald had no control over Joan in the board room. Joan was running the show, because Donald couldn't and wouldn't shut her up or speak to Joan about her unprofessionalism and her filthy mouth. Annie should not have had to take that abuse from that woman, and Donald is to blame for us having to watch that horrible behavior week after week. Again, I have lost an enourmous amount of repect for Donald. I won't be watching his show again, because apparently Donald has no control over his show, or should I say, Joan's show, because that is what it appeared to be.

I agree, Annie should have won. I'm so disappointed that Donald Trump rewarded Joan for being vile and nasty. I hope it comes back to him in spades when his children and grandchildren treat him like Joan treated Annie. Annie was clearly the winner. Donald Trump is getting senile.

To personal, that's a understatement, calling someone a whore, trash, poker trash and Hitler is wayyyyy beyond personal. I'll take what you call a "harpy" any day compared to what Joan and her daughter are. I used to be a fan of Joan Rivers, but seeing her true side, I no longer respect her an entertainer, or a professional. Her low class attitude was showing.

Joan is a snob. Both her and her daughter are spoiled brats. If Joan wins I will never watch this show again and after seeing Joan Rivers real personality on this show I will never watch anything she does again. I can not believe she said Annie is "beneath" her. I guess the rest of us are beneath her too.

I am so disappointed that Trump didn't put an end to the name calling and the temper tantrums of Rivers and her daughter! It was all for ratings, but you can't call people Whores, and berate someone for their career choice. Rivers didn't turn down the $250K that Annie and her "lowlife friends" brought in. Annie worked hard and brought in more money on this show than anyone before her. She didn't wait until it was her turn, she was a real Team Player. She stuck up for her friends and Trump even called her not such a nice person!!! Who does that? No Boss would ever get away with treating people like that in our world. Rivers turned on Clint, then anyone else who didn't listen to her. She acted like a Brat and bossed Trump around and got away with it. I will never watch the Apprentice Show again as long as I live and I will never watch anything that Rivers is in. I have no respect for her any longer. She was an awful person to call Annie all those names and Trump fostered it! All he cared about was getting a date with Brande. This was a set up from the beginning. Annie out won Rivers and yet she still got chosen. When Annie tried to defend herself, Rivers jumped in over and over again, saying "I don't want to hear anyting you have to say" and Trump let her! He's a huge fool. Everyone I know is furious and those that were fans will never watch another episode again. We should all picket that show after the way he let Rivers and her daughter behave. They are the only two who kept storming off and complaining all the time. It was not good TV, it was horrible.
You need to re-examine your priorities.

I think Duke is very good. My personal feeling is that she lacks the depth and full experiance that Joan brings as well as such an item as entegrity and a 'value' concept that appears lacking in Duke. With Duke, it is all about self centeredness the end justifies the means... goal of destroy all in one's way. Then again it is a 'War' mentality I suppose....or is it? Also sort of like I am the one and only end all be all....I am all about self..nothing else matters.

Did you forget how many times Joan broke glasses, walked off the shiow because of her bratty daughter. Joan has no dignity , called Annie every name in the book like a child - worse Hitler. And don't forget the 2 times she mentioned "This is not about charity" Joan Rivers is a disgrace to humanity. A phoney jealous pig!@

Richard, you need to re-examine your statement. How can you condone the horrible names that Duke was subject to throughout the last few episodes? Rivers and her daughter were spoiled brats, constantly slammed doors, threw wine up in the air, broke glasses, ran off the set, calling everyone names. First Rivers went after Clint, stating that she would throw out all his CD that she owned and would never go to another concert of his. Then she went after Brande calling her Stupid Blonde....then it was Annie. Her daughter called them Whores!!! Then she called her worse than Hitler, said she'd like to spit on her and said she was beneath her. Then after all the money that Duke raised for everyone elses Charities, not just her own...Rivers calls her and all her friends low lifes! Come on, Trump never said a word. He even added more on top of that saying to Annie, your not liked very much, you must not be a nice person"! What kind of CEO acts like that? What sort of Boss puts up with that? That's ridiculous...I'd like to know what Rivers did to turn the designer off so that he didn't want to work for anyone on the apprentice. That was never brought up....Annie should have won! She played the game better than the guy did that won the year before. This is an injustice to women treating women like this and I'll never watch another Apprentice show. Our little group used to meet at my house and watch it together. WE are all disgusted. Rivers is a foul mouth spoiled BRAT!

It should be Jessie and Annie, he just picked Joan because of all the "drama" between her and Annie. I used to enjoy the regular Apprentice, and I thought the first season of the Celebrity edition was decent, this season has sucked. If you want to see what a good Apprentice show is like, be sure to check out the UK Apprentice on BBCA.
Spoilerish...
I slowed down the preview for next week's episode and the teams are H. Walker, Clint Black, Melissa and Joan Rivers, vs Annie Duke, Dennis Rodman, Brandi, and Tom Green. Guess the Annie and Joan drama wasn't enough they had to bring back Rodman and Tom Green.

I think it would be awesome to see Dennis and Tom to be put with Annie for the final task. Let's see what she can really control, I mean she said she could handle anything ;o)

They are the two most disgusting, phoney people I have ever seen. Who knew! Joan made a complet ass out of herslef and Donald kissed it. Shame on Donald, he got it wrong. No one, but no one was better than Annie. she was cool calm and collected and got the jog done. She is a star I I admire her abiliy to take Joan's childish remarks - especially the Hitler one! Annie, you should have one.
