Rod Blagojevich may be a terrible statesman, but he certainly has delivered heaping buckets full of entertainment during his stint on "The Celebrity Apprentice." Sadly, his reign of goofball incompetence has come to a close, as Donal Trump dismissed the former governor in one of the stranger boardrooms in the history of the series.
This week, the two teams were tasked with creating an interactive display plugging the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, the new theme park attraction at Universal Studios that opens in June. Team RockSolid was basically hosed from jump street, as Blago seemed confused during the initial executive meeting, couldn't clearly express what he wanted and spent most of the time looking wide-eyed and mispronouncing "Harry Potter" terminology.
The entire finished product was basically left up to Poison frontman Bret Michaels, who Trump desperately wanted to fire. He kept asking Blagojevich if he was sure he didn't want to bring the "Rock of Love" host into the boardroom with him. Then he asked him again. In a last-ditch effort to keep the kooky governor on the show, he even tried to convince Michaels to fall on his own sword. None of this worked, so Trump couldn't do anything but send Blagojevich into the good night. It's easy to understand why Trump wanted to keep Blagojevich around a little while longer (when you think about it, most of the promos for this season have revolved around his idiocy), but why was Trump so hellbent on getting rid of the "Every Rose Has Its Thorn" singer? Was it because Michaels hit on Erin Burnett while she was checking on the progress of the team? Isn't that something that everybody expects at this point?
It's hard to blame Trump for wanting to keep Blagojevich around, as his antics were entertaining enough to keep Sunday night's (April 4) episode afloat. The only other highlight was the growing rift on the female team between people who think Cyndi Lauper is awesome (Sharon Osbourne, Maria Kanellis) and those who find her annoying (everybody else). Osbourne made a great point, though: The ladies' team is pretty boring even with Lauper — without her, they'd be unbearable.
Oh, and Goldberg dressed up as a tree. Hard to argue with that.
