April 27, 2009 — Clint Black won $20,000 for charity during Sunday’s highly contentious edition of NBC’s "The Celebrity Apprentice" as the project manager for a winning Right Guard advertorial that will appear in the pages of Sports Illustrated.
With Clint’s team, KOTU, down to just two players after the previous week’s loss, celebrity motorcycle manufacturer Jesse James joined Clint and Joan Rivers on the squad. From the very start, Clint and Jesse were at odds: Jesse grew angry when Clint altered some of his suggestions for the ad campaign, saying sarcastically that Clint is "the foremost authority on everything."
"If somebody on my team expects me to take 100% of their ideas 100% of the time," Clint countered, "then who’s the baby?"
Despite their internal rancor, the Right Guard executives preferred KOTU’s four-page spread, and Clint won $20,000 for the International Rett Syndrome Foundation, a charity for a little-known neurological condition.
In the aftermath, the opposing team, Athena, saw Melissa Rivers fired by Donald Trump. That development led Joan to hit the elevator with her daughter, threatening not to return for the rest of the competition.
Clint and Jesse are presumably left to compete together on next week’s edition despite their poor working relationship as the show winds down to its final weeks.
