Episode 1 | Episode 2 | Episode 3 | Episode 4
Already on the first episode, egos and celebrity quickly flaired. For the first competition on the Donald Trump led reality TV show, the Men's (Team Rocksolid) and Women's (Team Tenacity) teams went head to head, having to run a diner for 3 solid hours. This means every single aspect of running a diner, from taking the orders to cooking the food to cashing out the customers. Leading the mens squad was former Poison front man Brett Michaels, with '80s pop star Cyndi Lauper leading the women's team. Halfway through the event, Joan Rivers, last year's Celebrity Apprentice winner, came through to judge each squad's diner. In the end, the men would prove victorious with a superior technique. The women offered a lower priced menu, with meals starting at around $20, while the men kicked off the price wars at $100 a meal. The men would also have a secret weapon, celebrity chef Curtis Stone. While the women would have a line around the block for their tenure in the dining trade, and while they would pull in around $30,000, the men would come in at closer to $50,000. Joan Rivers selected the women's squad for the special $10,000 prize, which goes to the charities of that team.
In the end, the women would have to lose one of their own, with Carol Leifer going home. In the board room, Lauper was unable to select a contestant for elimination, so Trump went with Leifer. Trump himself would wind up donating money to Leifer's charity, the North Shore Animal League.

Joan Rivers winner of Celebrity Apprentice 2009
While many fans of the show were outraged with the Donald's choice of comedian Joan Rivers over poker player Annie Duke, the show will go on for 2010. Some fans have expressed feelings of betrayal stating that Joan Rivers doesn't deserve the title due to the many outrageous tirades with daughter Melissa.

Sharon, Sharon, Sharon - you and your big pommie mouth have now managed to alienate a whole country. We in Australia have a great sense of humour which was proven when Curtis Stone did not rise to your snippy, bitchy comments. Curtis is a true gentleman and you and Maria were shown that respect. Unfortunately your little spat with Danni Minogue and your personal attack on Curtis has really shown your true colours. And Maria, if all it takes it someone's face to make you want to punch them I would not visit Australia either as we would be very willing to accommodate you and your attitude. Oh, and another thing Sharon, it is a prawn not a shrimp that we throw on our barbies, get your facts and geography straight - idiot!
