Can anyone believe this show has been around for eight seasons? I sure can't. Remember back when it was sort of awesome? You know: Troy and Kwame's lovefest and all? About six seasons later, we got the celebrities and now here we are: bigger (bloated to two hours per episode), but will it be better? Let's just see about that.
We start with previouslies, for some unknown reason (another attempt by NBC to bloat a show to two hours when it shouldn't be, perhaps?). Anyway, last season: Piers won, even though he was a jerk. And I didn't watch (sorry! But I'm here now!). Oh, and announcer guy says that Piers "changed the way the game was played." As if he's the one who decided there would be a Celebrity edition of this show. Inspirational music plays, and we see many American flags. Then, Trump's in an airplane, telling us that there is more money out there, and he wants it to go to the people who need it most (he also wants to keep a lot for himself, natch), which is why he's doing this show again. We get shots of our new celebrities as the music changes from inspirational to sort of frenzied. And announcer guy tells us that there will be no managers or assistants. And we might even see our "celebrities" clean toilets or fit entirely into garbage cans. He finishes it with "Last season was a battle. This time, it's war!" And we get lots of clips of Joan Rivers basically being a bitch. This will be fun. And once again, it's the men versus the women.
The men's team: "Heisman Trophy winner Herschel Walker." I must interject to point out that winning the Heisman doesn't necessarily make you a celebrity. You probably need to go on to the NFL, too, which he did, and which is why he's famous. I find it weird they'd introduce him as only the Heisman winner. But I'm not the authority (or even an authority) on sports, so I'll leave it to the brilliant minds behind this show. "Controversial comedian Andrew Dice Clay." I can't argue with that description, actually. But then Dice Clay says, "I'm the biggest standup comic, ever, in history!" I will have to argue with that. Not the biggest in size, stature, or any other way. If that were the case, he wouldn't be on this show. "Multiplatinum recording artist Brian McKnight." "Comedian and TV host Tom Green."
Trump's "TRUMP" helicopter flies toward an aircraft carrier, where our celebrities await. They're already divided into men and women. He welcomes them to the USS Intrepid, and then talks more about last season, because Piers' charity was the Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund. Then he compares the battle they're trying to win to the battles the Intrepid has been in. And then asks Dennis about winning NBA championships. Dennis: "It's all love, baby." I'm so glad he's starting off not making sense. That just makes it more fun for me. Melissa Rivers looks around and notices she's with a fascinating group of people. She says that you can't miss Dennis, who is enormous and not at all subtly dressed. Then Melissa notices Herschel Walker. He says "It's game time." Claudia, who's a real estate investor, apparently, is ready to win. She's a big fan of Trump. Trump asks Dice Clay if he still likes women, and he says he's always loved them, and "is just an honest guy." Trump asks Joan and Melissa about their relationship: Will they fight or get along? Melissa just says they're competitive, but Dice Clay interviews later that they need to cut the umbilical cord since "Melissa's like 56 years old already." Actually, she's 41, but I see your point.
Trump tells them they're broken up men versus women, if they couldn't tell by how they're lined up (you never know with this group). He tells them that if they are project manager and win, they get a lot of money for their favorite charity. [Don't some of these celebrities need money for themselves? Those Brainsmasher residuals can't be bringing in that much for the Diceman. - Zach] He sends them back to Trump Tower to pick their team leader and a name for their team. He'll see them a little later. "Go!" They walk away -- and he flies away -- as dramatic music plays.
Shots of New York City, and then the women walk into their room, which they think is really nice. Joan volunteers to be the first project manager, since she's the oldest. Everyone seems to be relieved. Joan tells the camera later that she's the project manager because she's "the only one in there without a tampon in her pocketbook." Because we all know that if you're carrying tampons, you are not capable of leading anyone anywhere. A 75-year-old crazy person, however, is totally capable. She says they deferred to her, which they sort of did. Joan doesn't want to waste time on choosing a team name, but Annie would like to make a case for "Phoenix," since they're rising from the ashes of last year's terrible women's team. Joan says, "The Winners." How original. Claudia suggest "The Ballbusters." Annie suggests "Athena," the goddess of war and wisdom. She thinks they're going to be more disciplined than the boys. Joan tells the camera that these women are going to work together with "no backstabbing." I am going out on a limb to guess that's foreshadowing.
In the men's room, Dice Clay is complaining about the lack of bagels and coffee. Scott tells the camera that Dice Clay isn't focused at all. They want to name the team first, and then choose a leader. Scott pulls out a notebook and volunteers to be secretary. Tom suggests "Triumph." Dennis says "VIP Enterprise," but the others giggle that it sounds like an escort service. "The Money-getters" and "Team FUBAR" are suggested. Scott interviews later that this is the most dysfunctional group ever, so coming up with a team name is impossible. Dice Clay says they're all "Kings of the Universe," and then someone acronyms it as "KOTU," which is the acronym for that. How stupid. Herschel says they should probably choose a project manager first, and that tiny bit of genius is what leads Scott to say Herschel just proved he should be the leader. Everyone agrees. Or, I should say, no one disagrees because Dennis clearly does not agree. Later, in his camera interview, he says he doesn't know why Herschel is project manager, since he didn't have "no vote" in it. He blames it on Scott and Clint, and says Herschel doesn't have any leadership skills and "he remind me of a 15-year-old kid." Dennis leaves the table as Clint tells Herschel he is the PM on the task and will name the team. Herschel tells us he's not just a football player and then he names the team "KOTU" (pronounced "koe-too"), saying, "KOTU is gods." Tom likes it, though he confesses to the camera it's sort of goofy, but grows on you, especially if you say it a lot. So he says it a lot, and say it's sort of like a Lord of the Rings character, like Gollum, which he would have preferred.
Both teams head to the boardroom, where Trump, Trump (Donald Jr.) and Trump (Ivanka) are seated. Trump, the original, asks Dennis who they've chosen as PM, and he just points to Herschel and says he's right there. Trump asks why he wanted to lead, and Herschel says it's a team, and he believes in team and leadership. He also says he wanted this, because "if you don't want the ball, don't play?" The women say they've chosen Joan. Trump reminds them that the PM gets fired a lot. They both know that. Trump asks Joan if she's made many cupcakes over the years, and tells her she's going to get a chance to do it again. She says, "We lose," and all the women laugh. He says the teams will create, bake and sell cupcakes. They'll use the kitchens and equipment at Institute of Culinary Education, and then develop a mobile sales center and travel all over the streets of New York. The team that sells the most, in terms of money, through any means, wins. Trump asks their team names, and Herschel, who chose the name KOTU says, "Ku-toe." Trump asks "What?" and a bunch of guys say it correctly: "KOTU." Trump yells for them to pronounce it. He asks what it means, and Tom tells him it's "Kings of the Universe." Trump asks if Dennis likes the name, since Dennis is laughing, and Dennis says, "I am so about it." Trump asks if everyone likes it, and Dennis points to Jesse and says he hated it. Jesse tells Trump, "It sucks." Herschel says he made the decision. And then Dice Clay freaks because Herschel touches his hand, and he thinks he was trying to hold it. Is Dice Clay for real?
Trump asks Joan what she thinks of the men's team name, and she says, "Who cares?" Trump likes that answer. She tells him their team name is "Athena," which they picked because they're all beautiful and she's goddess of beauty, wisdom and war "done intelligently." Trump likes that name. He asks Brande what she thinks of her team. Brande likes their team, thinks they're strong, and will kick some "male booty." Trump asks if there's disharmony, and that he notices disharmony on the men's team. Dice Clay says they're all just tired and hungry because of the lack of bagels. Trump asks whose fault that is, and Dice Clay tells him it's his fault. Donald Jr. ("Don") stifles laughter, and Tom looks worried. Trump is silent. Then he just moves on, saying Don will go with the women and Ivanka will go with the men, because she really understands men very well. Trump reminds them that one team will win and one of the losers will be fired. It's not fun to be the first celebrity fired, by the way. And now they can go make great cupcakes. Or not. They could choose to just beg for money, since there is no requirement of actually selling cupcakes.
The men are trying to decide location first, and they wonder who knows New York. Herschel tells the camera there's a lot of pressure being the first project manager, because he wants to beat the women, but he's also checking out the men. They debate locations, and Tom says, "Dice is the king of New York City," and then sort of smirks directly into the camera. Which I love. More Tom Green, please. Dice Clay tells us that no standup comedian has ever sold more tickets than him. Can this actually be true? So they wonder where Dice Clay's fan base would be in New York. Clint thinks Times Square is way too obvious of a choice, since they'll be in direct competition with "Team Lady Goddess." Brian says there are a few women who are recognizable, but "they don't have who we have." Dennis adds, "Who don't know Clint Black? Who don't know Herschel? Who don't know yo' ass,?" though I don't know who he's talking to on that last one. They think the women will buy cupcakes from them, because they are completely lacking in self-awareness.
Athena Headquarters: Melissa thinks they want to be near the park. Joan did "Man on the Street" with Court TV, so she says you want to be at the Macy's-Penn Station area. Annie says that didn't work well at all last year, but Joan argues and insists. She stands her ground. Then she tells us in her interview that everyone should have a say, but you have to go with the one who knows the most, and she's a New Yorker. She says that the friction began with Annie right then. Annie won't stop talking about Penn Station being a bad location, and how the team last year got criticized for going there, because the people there don't have a lot of coin. Claudia interviews that Annie "kept bumping her gums" (she really said that) and wouldn't stop talking. She wanted her to shut the hell up. Annie continues to repeat herself. Annie tells the camera she doesn't sugarcoat anything or try to make people feel good. Brande wonders if that's close to 57th and Fifth, because she has the whole Playboy building "that they're all willing to go down there." I don't know what that even means, but Joan gets it and looks excited. Brande was going to call Hef for money, because she knew the guys would have a lot of heavy hitters.
The morning, Brande and Melissa are on trailer decorating duty. They are basically putting pink and orange stars and cupcakes all over the trailer. Jesse is decorating his trailer, too. And his actually looks much better. Both teams went with the theme "Celebrity Cupcakes." Melissa and Brande walk by the men's truck and realize how much better it is than theirs. Melissa has to give them credit for being more on it than she thought.
The men are selling cupcakes in Times Square, for $20 each. The women are selling them for $5, but are happy to take more than that for charity. Khloe explains that this task was about how much money they made, not how many cupcakes they sold, so whether $5 or five grand, they'd sell a cupcake. Melissa worries about how the men are doing, because she thinks they have a lot of friends with deep pockets.
As if on cue, Tony Hawk shows up to support his friend Tom. He gives them $1,000, and says they cupcakes better taste good. He and Tom hug it out. Scott explains how much people love their team, and that people came to see the celebrities and get photos with them. So they buy cupcakes. They get a naked cowboy (technically, he's wearing a Speedo) to play guitar on top of their trailer, for some unknown reason. [He's not a naked cowboy, he's The Naked Cowboy. - Z] It was Tom's idea, though, so that might explain it. Scott and Brian talk about how much money they're making.
A Playboy bunny shows up with a $5,000 donation from Hugh Hefner. And then all of the employees in the Playboy building come down, too, and buy cupcakes -- and attract even more customers. Joan interviews that Brande's a very smart woman "lost" in a gorgeous face and body. I am not sure why she's "lost," but Joan said it, not me. Don strolls up to see how the ladies are doing so far. Has anyone noticed that Don is well on his way to Trump-style bad hair? It's not good. Trump pulls Melissa aside and asks her how things are going. They basically say nothing, and then he tells her to get back to work.
Scott is basically holed up inside the truck -- I think because he has no fans, so he's just the money guy. He explains that Dennis sat in the driver's seat instead of being outside as a draw, since so many people want to see him. Tom couldn't understand why Dennis didn't want to get out of the truck, but Herschel didn't do anything about it, so Tom takes control: He tries to lift Dennis to take him outside. Dennis explains that he stayed out of the way of selling, because if he stood outside, people would get a picture with him and then not bother with the cupcakes. So Tom sends people to the truck to see Dennis Rodman -- and buy a cupcake. Ivanka shows up and asks Herschel how they're doing. He says they're doing well, and Ivanka interviews that the men were doing well, but that Dennis seemed a little "lacksadaisacal" [sic], to say the least. She thought he should be out in the public, attracting a crowd.
First he gives them the taste test results, which he says the women easily won, because the owners loved their cupcakes. They said the men's cupcake was disgusting. Tom admits they had some "technical issues" with the cupcakes. Ivanka reveals that the men made $49,449. Trump's impressed. Ivanka says it's a lot of cupcakes. Trump says the women need $35,000 to win, since they have their $15,000 Crumbs bonus. Don says the women sold $61,267 worth of cupcakes. Trump's impressed. Trump says they won $126,000 total, and asks Joan what her charity is. It's Gods Love We Deliver, which she says delivers meals to anyone who asks. Their website says they deliver meals to people with serious illnesses, so... not quite anyone who asks. I mean, if it were anyone, I'd be ordering up some meals right away. Joan's all teary-eyed as Trump congratulates her and the other ladies. He tells them to go back to their suite, and that they can watch the grilling of the men if they want to. They totally do. He tells the men that someone will be fired. He says, "Sadly," but I don't think he really thinks it is.
Back at the suite, the women drink champagne. Joan tells Team Athena to understand that they won because of many things, not just because one person wrote a stupid check. Everyone is happy, except Annie, who does nod in agreement, but she still looks upset. Joan's happy for her charity, and she explains her charity a little better, saying "It's a very quiet way of letting people have their dignity until they die." They turn on the screen to watch the men along with us.
Trump asks Herschel what happened. He doesn't know, because his guys were working hard and hustling. He really is such a team player that I think he can't say anything bad about his "teammates" to Trump. I have a feeling that's going to change. Trump asks Tom's opinion, and he pauses for too long, so Trump asks if he's okay. Dice Clay says that Tom's uptight and high-strung. Trump wants him to respond, so Tom says he suggested a lot of ideas -- specifically, that they should all call and bring in big donors. Trump asks if he did that, and he says he brought in Donny Deutsch's $10,000, his agent's $5,000, and Tony Hawk's $1,000. That's almost a third of the total, according to Don, so I'm thinking he carried his weight. Trump asks if no one was even close to Tom, and Tom says no. Herschel interrupts to say he actually raised the most. Tom concedes Herschel brought in a lot, but could have encouraged other players to raise money. Trump asks if Jesse's asleep, and he says no. He asks if Jesse brought in any big donors, and he says he didn't, because his friends don't have money. He says they lost because of hard work, and Jesse says he could have done a better job himself... keeping Dennis out on the street. I like how when he admits he could have done better, it's really to get a jab in at Dennis. Trump asks if Dennis was the largest celebrity in terms of visibility, and Jesse says even just his height on the street would help. Scott pipes in that size doesn't matter.
Back in the ladies' room, Brande wonders who said size doesn't matter, and Claudia says, "The small one." Don asks what Brian would have done differently for the team. He asks if they could control a Dennis. Brian says they learned that none of them have really been subordinate before, so it's tough to take orders from someone. Trump says it's tough being the leader of that, and Herschel repeats his stupid, "If you don't want the ball, don't play" platitude. Trump points out this isn't like a football game, where he's the best player. Herschel tries to continue about grabbing the ball, but Trump's already over it. He says that taste and quality mattered, and they didn't have either, so he asks Jesse if that was a big factor. Jesse says their cupcakes suck, and they knew that last night. Trump asks Scott who was responsible for that, and Scott says he would say everyone who was in the kitchen baking, because they all worked equally. Trump asks Dice Clay who's responsible, and he just says, "It wasn't me," because he didn't cook the cupcakes. His defense is that he didn't help. Do you think that's going to work in his favor? Ivanka tries to talk, but Dice Clay interrupts. Trump tells him he cut off Ivanka, but that's okay since his whole life has been about cutting off women. Right, so why make him respect your own daughter? He says they're never going to change Dice Clay, and Dice Clay laughs that Trump is unbelievable. I'm not sure why Dice Clay thinks that, but I do agree.
Dice Clay starts rambling about how his idea was to forget women, but he never makes a point. And then he tells Trump that it bothers him that he keeps saying Dennis is the most famous, because he's the only guy in this room to sell out Madison Square Garden three times, and to sell out every arena in this country over and over again. He also says he wasn't baking, so he went on the air and promoted the charity event. Herschel says he could have gone on the radio, but Dice Clay interrupts and says he couldn't because he's not funny. Herschel acknowledges Dice Clay's funny, but he's willing to bet "dimes to doughnuts" (or cupcakes?) that he had more people from Georgia there than Dice Clay had from the radio. Dice Clay thinks that's an impossibility.
Trump asks Jesse who's the worst player in terms of winning, and Jesse thinks Dennis for sitting in the truck. Trump asks what Dennis thinks, and Dennis explains that if he went to the corner, he'd distract people and that Tom did a good job yelling "Dennis Rodman! Dennis Rodman!" so people would come to the truck and see him and buy cupcakes. Trump tells Herschel that's pretty effective. Herschel says Dennis only wants to play half the game, but Dennis interrupts and says "Donald, man, this is really ridiculous." Dennis tells Herschel that if he's going to manage a group, he needs to know how to delegate people, and that never happened. Trump asks if he blames Herschel, but Dennis says he's not saying that. He just says if it were him, he'd look at all of their points and then say, "I'm going to use Tom Green here. He'll do this job right." I can't believe I'm saying this, but dude is making an excellent point. Dennis asks the others to jump in if they disagree, but that there was no delegation in the kitchen. Dice Clay says that's "100 percent right," that it was "every man for himself." Which is how Dice Clay ended up not working, obviously. Trump asks if that's a lack of leadership, and Dice Clay says it is. Herschel admits it was a lack of leadership.
Don jumps in and says that Brian's making a lot of faces, and he'd like to know what he's thinking. (Me? I'd like to know what Clint's thinking; has he said a word? I think this is what we call "flying under the radar.") Brian says that if you're all in the kitchen, and everybody's doing something, isn't that delegation? He says that no one needed to be told what to do except Dennis and Dice Clay, because they all stepped up and took on a task. The ladies are wondering if they could be friends after a boardroom like that? Trump asks Clint who he would fire. Clint first says that it's unfortunate that this how they're finding fault with their team, and that he hopes they're going to learn, but Trump interrupts, "That's how it happens." Clint thinks there was a lack of cohesion. Trump asks who he'd fire again, and... we go to commercial.
After the break, he sighs and says he would fire Dice Clay. Trump asks why, and Clint says Dice Clay required the most pushing. He says he loves a joke and a laugh as much as anyone, but they needed man power. Dice Clay asks if he's saying that using his talents on the air -- because it's not heavy lifting -- isn't working. Trump asks Dice Clay who he'd fire. Dice Clay says he has to say it a different way, because he has to do things his way. He says Clint's right about him in that he has to do things the way he does them. And if he messes up, he takes responsibility. Dice Clay says he's willing to leave, for a few reasons: He thinks everyone did a great job. He thinks what he did was great, too, but he doesn't want to be in a place where people think he's not doing what he's supposed to do. Trump asks if he's quitting, and Herschel says, "You shouldn't quit." Trump tells him that if he quits right now, he'll be known as a quitter for the rest of his life, and he doesn't want that. (Actually, I think most people will still think of him as Ford Fairlane; one episode of this show won't change that.) Dice Clay says the three people who have quit over the years are considered losers, but he adds that he doesn't care if Dice Clay quits because it makes his job a lot easier. Dice Clay says it's not about quitting, and Trump says, "It is about quitting, Andrew. If you quit, you quit." I love how Trump treats everyone like they're 3. Dice Clay says Trump's right, so he's not quitting.
Trump asks who Dice Clay would fire, and Dice Clay says "Scott." Trump's surprised and asks what Scott did. Dice Clay says, "Nothing." He says Scott did a little of this and a little of that, but nothing big. Trump asks Scott who he'd fire. Scott doesn't want to throw anyone under the bus, but Trump forces him to. Scott says Dennis and Dice Clay? Ooh, two for one. That sounds intriguing. Brian says Dice Clay. Jesse says Dennis, because he thinks Dennis could do a really good job, but might not have the work ethic required. Tom would fire Herschel, because he's the project manager. He really likes Herschel, but he needs to take responsibility. Trump reminds Herschel that the project manager on a losing team is not in a good position. Herschel know that, but he says he's not here to baby-sit people. Trump tells him he's made a very good case. That was a good case? I think Dennis and Dice Clay have made good cases for why Herschel shouldn't be fired, but Herschel didn't do that himself.
Trump tells Herschel that the sad thing is that they made a lousy cupcake, which is too bad, because if they'd won the taste test, the would have won the whole thing, but that's the way it goes. He tells Herschel to pick two people to come back to the board room. Dennis says that's a no-brainer, but Trump challenges him, asking who he thinks he'll pick. Dennis says he's always the victim, but Trump tells him not to do the persecution stuff with him. Dennis says he'll persevere, and Trump says he's doing just fine, and living well. Trump gets bleeped when he tells Dennis not to do that shit with him. Herschel chooses Dice Clay and Dennis. Trump sends the others back to their suite and the fated three into the hall. He tells the ladies to turn off their TV, because that's all they get to see. They mostly think Dice Clay is going home, since he tried to quit. But Melissa thinks it might be Herschel.
In the hall, Dice Clay says it wasn't about quitting; he really did think everyone did a great job. I actually believe him, and think he's probably a genuinely nice guy despite so many bits of evidences to the contrary. I mean, he's a comedian because he wants everyone to like him or something. And Dennis, always a victim, says, "It is what it is. Either way, we'll live to see another day. So, it's all love." Dice Clay seems sad, and so does Dennis, actually. I think Herschel knows he's safe. Dice Clay begs Trump to bring them in already. He starts talking about how they're guys making cupcakes, and "chicks" should know how to cook. Then he asks the receptionist if she can cook, and then he invites her out. She says no, but he tells her to be ready around 8.
In the boardroom, Ivanka tells her dad it's a difficult decision. She says Herschel wasn't able to rally his troops, but neither Dennis or Dice Clay really rose to the occasion. Don thinks Dennis and Dice Clay can't be led, so it wouldn't be fair to fire Herschel, who raised the most money. Trump asks Dennis who he'd fire, and he says Herschel, because he wasn't prepared. He says Herschel didn't know how to use him, and Herschel says no one would know how. Dennis says everyone's been saying Dennis is the biggest star here, but Trump says he's the biggest star here. Dennis says how about he's a close second. Trump humors him, and says okay. Dennis continues going on about the planning, saying that Herschel needed him and didn't use him. So, his defense, like Dice Clay's earlier, is that he did nothing. But that it's Herschel's fault. Celebrities really play this game differently than the regular people used to, don't they? Herschel says if Dennis can bring in people, why didn't he do it instead of sitting in the truck? Dennis says Herschel should have made him get out of the truck. Guys, I think we are witnessing actual strategy that was at play this whole episode. Trump asks if Herschel couldn't lead these two. He says he could, but he obviously couldn't. They're all talking at once.
Trump asks Dice Clay who he'd fire, and he says Herschel, because it's the boss's job to delegate. Now he's just glomming on to Dennis's idea. Herschel says he did delegate, and reminds everyone that when he got the call to send someone to Crumbs, he delegated that to Dice Clay because he wasn't doing anything. Dice Clay tries to interrupt, but Herschel's making a good point. Dice Clay tries to say he was selling with Tom, but Herschel says he wasn't. Herschel also adds a creepy, "I'm the man here. You're wrong." What does that even mean? I know I don't like it, but I'm not sure why. Dennis just sits there nodding, realizing he's sort of out of the mix now; heat's off him. All part of his strategy. Dice Clay and Herschel continue to talk over each other, and then Herschel calls Dice Clay a has-been. Dice Clay asks if Herschel's still playing ball. And then Dice Clay asks Trump if he has said anything to him that made sense as far as what he did this week. Trump, being generous, said Dice Clay said some things that made sense. Trump says the one thing that didn't make sense was when he wanted to quit. Dice Clay says he wasn't quitting; he didn't want anyone else to have to go. Ivanka says it didn't feel like he was being a martyr in the context of the moment.
Trump says, "Okay look," so you know we're (finally!) getting somewhere. He's known Dice Clay a long time, and he's been great, and he's really a talented guy (again, who knew Trump was this generous?). But he's seen tremendous fight in Dennis tonight, and in Herschel. And Dice Clay wanted to quit. Trump hates that. Trump tells Dice Clay his kids should be very proud of him, and he's known him a long time and knows he's been through a lot, and isn't a quitter. But he's fired. In the hall, Dice Clay hugs both Dennis and Herschel, and doesn't even look at the receptionist who he wanted to date. Back in the boardroom, Trump thinks he made the right decision. Ivanka agrees, and says that if she and Don were ever to quit, Trump wouldn't let them... but Trump interrupts her to say, "But he didn't quit. He didn't quit. He's a winner, and he's going to be a winner." Wow, this is the nicest I've ever seen Trump. Who knew he'd be such a softie for the Dice Man? Who, by the way, is walking out of Trump Tower into a car. Dennis and Herschel are heading back to the suite.
In the car, Dice Clay says he wouldn't have done anything differently. He came in there and told them how he felt about baking cupcakes (wait ... did he like it? I can't remember). He thanks Trump for having him and impersonates Stallone (I think it's Stallone, but his impressions are so good, it's hard to tell for sure) when he says he absolutely enjoyed being on the show.
week: The guys will be coming off a loss, so it's game on.
