STREET FIGHT ON THE CELEBRITY APPRENTICE

They say nothing in life is for sure. WRONG. Listen up you can be sure of this the Celebrity Apprentice contestant Piers Morgan WILL NEVER be seen plucking the petals off a daisy thinking of fellow Celebrity Apprentice contestant Omarosa and saying, She loves me, she loves me not. You can be sure of another thing they don't love each other.

Here's the plot. A couple of episodes ago Donald Trump teamed the unlikely love couple up. Reasons why weren't given. After the results in our opinion Trump is sadistic. Prior to being teammates Omarosa commented on Morgan's consumption of beer to which he requested that she not get personal about things during the competition. "I absolutely have no respect for Piers," she's been quoted as saying behind his back.

In a van on the way to their task in Central Park Omarosa told Morgan "Your mother hates you, your children hate you." "Please leave my family out of this," Morgan requested.

Teammate and former heavyweight boxing champion of the world Lennox Lewis said, "The things she is saying are very ghetto, very mean and nasty." As the video rolled it was the perfect time for the producers to insert Elvis Presley singing in the background 'In The Ghetto,' but they blew the opportunity.

When they arrived at the park Morgan fired Omarosa prior to the task and she refused to leave, I'm not going anywhere," she defiantly replied. She also brought up that some other man was raising Morgan's children. Omarosa was over the top and on a street life roll.

In the board room Lewis told Trump that his fight with Mike Tyson was nothing like the verbal brawl between Omarosa and Morgan.

"She's a disgusting piece of slime," Morgan told Trump. He added "She used profanity; she's a piece of low life trash. The thing I love the most in my life is my family. This piece of trash trashed my family all day long. No one in my life has brought my children into a disagreement in business."

Morgan isn't the warm fuzzy likable type. He's a Simon Cowell find and is one of the judges on the Cowell produced TV show America's Got Talent. Quite frankly before knowing who Morgan was after watching a segment of America's Got Talent and prior to the initial airing of The Celebrity Apprentice I didn't like him but now I do.

After witnessing how tolerant he was with Omarosa as well as how smart he is ding the tasks you have to respect the man. He is a deserving winner. If there was a perfect example of how NOT TO BEHAVE the conduct and disrespect from Omarosa is it.

Despite their differences and the distractions Morgan led his team which included model Carol Alt to victory. Without any financial assistance from Omarosa's contacts the three team members raised $35,184 to the oppositions $29,673. A total of US $65 thousand went to Morgan's charity since he was the winning Project Manager.

After seeing the bloodshed Trump decided to split the love bugs up and Omarosa was sent to the other team and actress Marilu Henner switched to take Omarosa's place.

"You're a celebrity wanna be," Morgan pointed out to Omarosa. To Trump he noted "She's such a pointless irrelevant ghastly little person. Listen we've (the British) fought two world wars (but) we've never had to deal with this (as he pointed to Omarosa)."

Last week actress Mary Lou Henner was fired since she was the losing Project Manager. The battle will continue tonight Wednesday December 17 in Southeast Asia on the Star World Channel.

AMAZING RACE TEAM MISSING

When they telecast the last episode of the Amazing Race USA final which was won by the Nick and Starr brother/sister team something was wrong. When they do the final show all of the teams in the race are at the finish line to greet the winners but this time Toni and Dallas the mother and son team were missing.

After checking we found that they couldn't attend because in the previous episode Dallas left their passports and money in a taxi in Moscow, Russia. But that raises a bigger question. Since they are American citizens and the final was held in America in Portland, Oregon they didn't have to go to another country with a passport. Logic has it that they remain in Russia and need to get their passports straightened out. If they had passports and were in America during the time of the final Portland is only a few hours plane ride from any point in the US. You would think that the Amazing Race productions could have helped clear things up for a speedy solution to their problem. For more details on this story stay tuned.

DEAL OR NO DEAL

It seems that the ht American show Deal or No Deal is becoming a big hit in Asia. There has been a Philippine edition for over a year. In America the winner takes home US $1 million. In the Philippines the winnings are 1 million pesos which at a rate of 50 pesos to the dollar equates to US $20,000. In the Philippines that's a decent amount of money.

Now that game is being telecast in Cambodia on the CTN Network. The dynamics are quite different with the top prize being 10 million riel or US $2,500 at 4000 riel to the dollar. To a poor Khmer that is a lot of money considering the guidelines given by Dr Beat Richner regarding how much it takes to live on per month in Cambodia. That analysis was given several years ago before the rise if food and gas over the past year.

The lowest on the chart of winnings was 500 riel which is 12.5 cents US. On a recent show a poor Cambodian lady had three suitcases remaining and the banker offered her 1,475,000 riel or US $368.75. One of the suitcases had 5 million riel ($US1,250) in it. She decided not to take a chance and took the money offer. When she was asked which suitcase she would have chosen she picked the one with 5 million riel and would have lost. Given the level of poverty in Cambodia this is a good show for the Cambodian people for two reasons. It's good entertainment as well as they are choosing needy people (from our limited observations) who can use the cash.
