***SPOILERS**** 4/19 show discussion thread

[BeckyQOC]

They must get a per diem because I'm not sure any celebrities would participate. Of course, many of them get on these shows for the exposure which in itself is a benefit. One thing I've learned about the people in CA this time is that I like Joan Rivers better than I thought and, according to the edit, like Clint Black less. So this exposure for me has helped Joan, not so much Clint.

according to an interview i read with piers, the contestants last year were paid $16,000 for three weeks on the show. i don't know if that is a total payout or what they got for each week. the interview is rather vague. for some, it's a pittance to what they might be earning elsewhere, for others, it might be a tiny windfall...

lol, that's why it was in spoiler tags!

It was put in spoiler tags later.

Boy. That's not a lot of dough! I suppose the on-air time is what they are looking for which, when compared with nothing, sounds pretty good.

Think Andrew Dice Clay and Tom Green.

if anyone could help me with the exact episode (name/#?) when Phil H. or other poker players showed up on TCA (an annie-centric show?), that would be awesome (I'd like to show my husband online).

Thanks!

That episode aired this past Sunday night, but we didn't see Phil, we only saw Annie talking to him on the phone.....Maybe he'll show up in the finale if she ends up in the F2.

Supposedly tonight will be more D-R-A-M-A:

Right Guard Deodorant Challenge
Airs 04-26-2009 9:00PM

Teams must create a four-page magazine spread for Right Guard’s new deodorant, an ad that will feature New York Knicks star center David Lee. On one team, a previous power struggle resurfaces and creative control is once again the battleground. On the other team, one celebrity is singled out and pushed aside. In the boardroom, tempers flare, and when a winner is announced Trump fires another celebrity who storms from the boardroom in one of the most explosive exits in Apprentice history.'

I bet they mix up the teams because one of them lost 2 last week:

KOTU:
Joan Rivers
Clint Black

Athena:
Annie
Melissa Rivers
Jesse James
Brande

You think it will be a Joan vs. Clint mash-up, or Annie vs. Melissa?
