Cheryl Tiegs Fired From ‘Celebrity Apprentice’
The fifth season of Donald Trump's “Celebrity Apprentice” kicked off with a bang last night. The men’s team was Adam Carolla, Arsenio Hall, Clay Aiken, Dee Snider, George Takei, Lou Ferrigno, Michael Andretti, Paul Teutul Sr, and Penn Jillette. They picked Paul as their project manager and decided on “Unanimous” as their name. The women’s group was Aubrey O’Day, Cheryl Tiegs, Dayana Mendoza, Debbie Gibson, Victoria Gotti, Teresa Giudice, Lisa Lampanelli, Patricia Velasquez and Tia Carrere. Patricia was named project manager, and they named their team “Forte.” The teams were tasked with raising the most money in dueling delis. The men won after drawing a huge crowd thanks to showman Jillette's theatrics and photo ops with fans on the street, but sales were bleak. Even with their $35,000 prize for beating the women with their tasty offering in a contest on the “Rachael Ray” show, Forté beat them by $65,000 in sales and donations – until Teutul Sr. persuaded one of his buddies to donate $305,000. The women raised $126,000; the men’s total was $367,120. In the end, Cheryl Tiegs was fired without drama. "I don't know if this [show] is right for me," she said. Meanwhile, the men started off missing a team member – race car driver Marco Andretti, grandson of racing legend Mario Andretti. The day before filming was set to begin, a horrific October 16th accident at Las Vegas Motor Speedway took the life of Marco's good friend and fellow driver, Dan Wheldon. Marco, already reeling from the death of his maternal grandfather days earlier, was so shaken that he was unable to appear on the show. Without hesitation, his father, Michael, stepped in to take his place.
