Who Won The Apprentice 2009 ???

Well, let’s put it this way, in the battle of Poker Face vs. Face-Lift, it was Face-Lift. Joan Rivers was “hired.”

This was the second Celebrity Apprentice series. Last years Celebrity Apprentice winner, Piers Morgan, is probably best known in America to those who watched Susan Boyle’s incredible performance on Britain’s Got Talent as one of the judges. This year, Joan Riversand poker champ Annie Duke were the last of 16 celebrities who began the season vying for the title of “Celebrity Apprentice 2009.”

In Celebrity Apprentice 2009, there certainly was no love lost between Annie Duke and the eventual winner, Joan Rivers. There was a lot of trash-talk between the two, and as many suspect these shows are partially scripted (at least), there has to be some doubt as to how much hatred is really there. But if it’s as much as it seems, it’s a lot.

The finale centered around a fundraiser, and it’s interesting that despite the fact that Joan Rivers only raised $150,830 and Annie Duke raised $465,725, Rivers was the 2009 Celebrity Apprentice Winner.

Simply put, money is important, but that’s not all. Trump noted that Annie did a great job on charity integration. Joan won the other three criteria. Joan had better celebrities, better guest experience, and better Kodak integration. 3-2 win on the charity fundraiser.

Joan Rivers is the New Celebrity Apprentice

Donald Trump picked Joan for reasons I still can’t seem to wrap my mind around. She was a farking emotional wreck throughout the most of the show! She threw glasses, she called people awful names, she constantly threatened to quit.

Meanwhile Annie was working her ass off and was raising a lot of money for charity. Almost to a fault. She had one thing, and only one thing, on her mind. Winning. She completed each task beautifully, wasn’t distracted by emotions and although she was direct and sometimes brash, she outclassed Joan throughout this competition.

My hubby commented, “Trump favors Joan”, just before she was announced the winner. I had to agree. As did Celebrity Smack reader Cherie who sent me this email after watching the Celebrity Apprentice finale. It seems she felt exactly the same way I did.
