Poker Player Annie Duke and Comedienne Joan Rivers Celebrity Apprentice: Annie Vs. Joanrs

Be careful what you wish for. I got what I wanted — sort of. Joan Rivers was "hired" as Donald Trump's "Celebrity Apprentice" over poker champ Annie Duke.

It was amusing to a point, but then it was just ugly. And sad.

I don't know whether Trump hired Joan because he thought she deserved to win -- she did win the final challenge -- or because she is his friend and he wanted to stay on her good side. (Or because he finally saw through Annie's nice-in-the-boardrooms-snake-in-the-backrooms manipulations.)

Joan was certainly incensed by what she considered to be "half-truths" and "innuendos" from Annie, especially on the final Kodak VIP party challenge where the event planners quit.

True, Joan wasn't getting what she wanted from her designer and he decided to quit. (Which doesn't make him look good, to me.)

Annie was told they were upset with Joan and so her -- Annie's -- designer quit too. So she told anyone who would listen -- smoke signals, carrier pigeons, Morse code -- that Joan Rivers doesn't know how to talk to people and ruined everything.

And so the final challenge devolved into a series of threats and name calling.

Here's just a sampling:


Joan: To me it’s good vs. evil.

Annie: This woman needs to die.

Annie said her goal is to humiliate Joan.

Joan said she’s competing against “the biggest piece of s**t in the world.”


Joan, reacting to Annie saying the designers quit because of Joan: This is so disgusting. This is everything I do not believe in for 75 years. … This is an out and out lie and I will not have it on television. I will not be berated.

Annie said she’s not berating her.

Joan: Oh stop it. How dare you?

Joan said she heard Annie’s money is mafia money.

Joan: You are so beneath me. You are so gone from my vision. I am here to work for God’s Love We Deliver. … I am in shock that these half-lies and half-truths and innuendos…



Annie: Joan is a very different person from me.
Joan: Thank God.


Annie said it would never last in a real boardroom for someone to say another person had mafia connections or her friends are trash or she’s worse than Hitler.

Joan: You’re not worse than Hitler. Hitler never had PMS.


OK. So even though Joan won, I really don't feel like Joan won. Her charity, God's Love We Deliver, seems like a wonderful group and I'm happy for them to get the $250,000 prize.

But there has to be an easier, cleaner, nicer way to do a good deed, no?
