-'Previously...'

-Oh, my God!

0:00:020:00:04

'..after Empresario's fifth devastating loss...'

0:00:040:00:07

PHONE RINGS

0:00:070:00:09

"Mr Trump would like you in the boardroom now."

0:00:090:00:12

'..Mr Trump decided to switch up the teams.'

0:00:120:00:15

This is the new Hydra on my left, the new Empresario on my right.

0:00:150:00:18

'But Piers wasn't happy with his new teammate, Omarosa.'

0:00:180:00:21

You think you're going to get along with Piers?

0:00:210:00:24

-I've worked with the scums in -

-Scums?!

0:00:240:00:27

I think that's off to a bad start.

0:00:270:00:28

'And the teams were off to run horse-and-carriage rides

0:00:280:00:32

-'in Central Park.'

-Carriage rides for charity!

0:00:320:00:34

'Empresario enjoyed their new team, and they worked well together...'

0:00:340:00:38

-I believe I had the best team.

-It's a different energy.

0:00:380:00:41

'..while on Hydra, Omarosa's hatred of Piers

0:00:410:00:45

'took things to a shocking new low.'

0:00:450:00:47

The mother of your children hates you. Your children, too.

0:00:470:00:50

Leave my kids out of it, you foul-mouthed little tramp!

0:00:500:00:53

'But even with the team in complete dysfunction...'

0:00:530:00:56

-You're fired!

-I ain't going nowhere, son!

0:00:560:00:58

-'..Hydra managed to pull out a win.'

-Despite everything,

0:00:580:01:01

65,000 to your favourite charity, Piers.

0:01:010:01:05

'Mr Trump solved Hydra's volatile situation.'

0:01:050:01:08

Omarosa, I'm going to ask you to go on the other team.

0:01:080:01:11

'And then he made a surprising decision.'

0:01:110:01:14

This is the single hardest firing I've ever had.

0:01:140:01:18

This team really understands that this is all about charity,

0:01:180:01:22

and I'm feeling charitable.

0:01:220:01:24

I'm firing no-one.

0:01:240:01:26

And, Marilu, you're going to the other team.

0:01:260:01:29

-CORK POPS

-Oh!

0:01:400:01:41

Cheers.

0:01:410:01:43

-To Empresario for you.

-Empresario, here I come!

0:01:430:01:46

Yes! Thank you, Mr Trump.

0:01:460:01:50

He really likes me.

0:01:500:01:52

He really, really likes me,

0:01:520:01:55

and he showed how much he liked me

0:01:550:01:57

by moving me away from that wretched human being.

0:01:570:02:00

I was leaving that trash behind!

0:02:000:02:03

-Hi, Trace.

-Hello.

0:02:030:02:05

Where's Marilu? Trace, where's Marilu?

0:02:050:02:09

Yay! Hi, honey!

0:02:090:02:12

-We guessed right.

-Yeah, we guessed right.

0:02:140:02:17

Oh, wait, what happened? Here's Stephen.

0:02:170:02:19

SHE SCREAMS What happened?

0:02:190:02:22

Nobody got fired.

0:02:220:02:24

-Nobody got fired.

-First time ever on the show.

0:02:240:02:27

The fact that nobody got fired was a big surprise,

0:02:270:02:30

because I thought somebody was definitely on their way out.

0:02:300:02:33

But ultimately it's up to Mr Trump.

0:02:330:02:36

-But I do get to come on your team?

-You do, but I have to come here.

0:02:360:02:39

-Marilu's coming here?

-Yeah.

-Great. Great.

0:02:390:02:42

We got Marilu as a replacement,

0:02:420:02:44

which is a bit like replacing the devil with Nelson Mandela,

0:02:440:02:48

to be honest.

0:02:480:02:50

Let's leave.

0:02:500:02:52

Marilu for Omarosa. There is a God!

0:02:520:02:55

Omarosa is so offensive about my family,

0:02:550:02:58

I don't want to share any space with her at all.

0:02:580:03:00

I don't ever want to talk to Omarosa again

0:03:000:03:03

in my entire life.

-Hey, Mr White. How are you?

-"I'm doing fine, thank you."

0:04:200:04:23

The Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund supports the families left behind

0:04:230:04:27

when their loved ones are bereaved, fighting in the military.

0:04:270:04:31

The reason I chose your charity, Bill,

0:04:310:04:33

is that my own brother has just returned from Iraq

0:04:330:04:37

where he fought in the British Army.

0:04:370:04:40

And obviously a lot of men that he knew in the US Marine Corps didn't go home,

0:04:400:04:43

and I believe that it is the patriotic duty of every American

0:04:430:04:47

and every Briton to support our boys out there,

0:04:470:04:50

doing a hell of a difficult job, and if they do lose their lives,

0:04:500:04:53

the least we should do is put our hands in our pocket.

0:04:530:04:56

I've got some good news for you. I've got a cheque in my hands here

0:04:560:04:59

for 64,857.

0:04:590:05:03

"Oh, my God! Are you kidding me, boy? This is terrific, Piers."

0:05:030:05:07

-"This is fantastic."

-I'm going to try and win this thing

0:05:070:05:10

-and get you a load more money.

-"Well, that's great."

0:05:100:05:14

In the end, that moment brought it all back to the right level,

0:05:140:05:17

which is why I'm really here.

0:05:170:05:19

I don't want any more arguments. It was the reality check I needed,

0:05:190:05:23

which was just cool things down a bit

0:05:230:05:26

and remember we're here to raise money for charity.

0:05:260:05:29

-"God bless you."

-Take care, Bill. Bye.

0:05:290:05:31

Lo and behold, we got to the location today.

0:05:530:05:56

There's nothing more exciting than seeing those choppers

0:05:560:05:59

and the size of them, and knowing we're that going to take a ride.

0:05:590:06:02

-Good morning.

-Good morning.

-That was some boardroom!

0:06:020:06:06

There was no way to make a decision last night.

0:06:060:06:08

Next time, I guarantee somebody will be fired.

0:06:080:06:11

Now, one of the great companies that you'll ever deal with is QVC.

0:06:110:06:17

You're going to get onto these helicopters.

0:06:170:06:20

You'll be travelling to QVC in Pennsylvania.

0:06:200:06:24

You are going to write, direct and produce

0:06:240:06:28

a ten-minute live segment on QVC.

0:06:280:06:33

You're going to pick a product and sell it.

0:06:330:06:37

If you pick the same product, you're going to have to negotiate

0:06:370:06:41

as to who gets what.

0:06:410:06:43

I'll be watching live on QVC.

0:06:430:06:47

Now, the team that makes the most money wins.

0:06:480:06:52

The project manager on the winning team will receive 20,000

0:06:520:06:57

for his or her favourite charity.

0:06:570:06:59

Empresario, who will be your project manager?

0:06:590:07:02

If I'm PM, I also want to direct the commercial.

0:07:020:07:05

-If you're cool with that, then, I'll do that.

-Yeah.

0:07:050:07:08

Stephen, who is going to be your project manager?

0:07:080:07:12

-I will be, Mr Trump.

-Very good. I think that's a very good choice.

0:07:120:07:15

Hydra, who's going to be your project manager?

0:07:150:07:18

Well, the most vivid shopper we have is Marilu. It would be right also

0:07:180:07:23

because she hasn't won any money for her charity yet.

0:07:230:07:26

You feel OK about being project manager?

0:07:260:07:29

Um, so far. I'm on a learning curve here.

0:07:290:07:32

-She's joining a winning team.

-All right. It is a good team,

0:07:320:07:35

and it's nice that you're not with Omarosa. Do we agree?

0:07:350:07:39

Whatever. That was yesterday.

0:07:390:07:41

This time, I promise you, somebody will be fired.

0:07:410:07:45

Go. Thank you.

0:07:450:07:47

We can't lose. If we lose, someone's getting fired, no matter what.

0:07:470:07:51

This whole task is about what happens on air.

0:07:510:07:54

Having Omarosa on our team could crush us or help us out,

0:07:540:07:58

so hopefully it's a positive and you don't see us in the boardroom

0:07:580:08:01

with one of us getting fired. We'll see how it turns out.

0:08:010:08:04

'I will run the task as project manager,

0:08:140:08:16

'and our task is to create a ten-minute commercial.

0:08:160:08:20

We're going to be on air, pitching a product

0:08:200:08:22

that had never been on QVC before. I'm very excited about that.

0:08:220:08:26

I always think any team we're in that has Lennox Lewis,

0:08:270:08:30

and we are selling product,

0:08:300:08:32

we are stupid to ignore his celebrity power, right?

0:08:320:08:36

Er, Lennox?

0:08:360:08:39

Lennox clearly had had too much to drink, had had no sleep,

0:08:390:08:43

and was in a half-daze. That should be his new fighting title -

0:08:430:08:46

Lennox "Sleepy Boy" Lewis. He doesn't want to be on air today

0:08:460:08:50

-because he was out drinking last night.

-Don't listen to him!

0:08:500:08:53

Don't be swayed by this geezer. HE LAUGHS

0:08:530:08:56

'I was tired. I was tired, but I wasn't sleeping.

0:08:560:08:59

'Piers talks a lot. He has diarrhoea of the mouth.'

0:08:590:09:02

I wish a had a turn-off switch to go..."teek"!

0:09:020:09:05

-You know, you got to stop using me in those type of ways.

-Why?

0:09:050:09:08

-I think I can be used in different ways.

-What ways?

0:09:080:09:11

-Different ways.

-You're not telling me you want to produce this?

-Yes.

0:09:110:09:14

-You're a frustrated movie producer?

-Yes.

-Trust me, I don't give a crap.

0:09:140:09:19

This is about selling product.

0:09:190:09:21

I'm a world-champion boxer, but what I really want to do is direct.

0:09:210:09:25

He fancies himself as a bit of a Francis Ford Coppola.

0:09:250:09:28

-OK. I've worked with Francis.

-Oh, you have?

-And inventors.

0:09:280:09:31

Do you see much of Francis in Lennox?

0:09:310:09:33

THEY LAUGH

0:09:330:09:35

Let's see what we got.

0:09:360:09:39

The first order of business was to view six products,

0:09:390:09:42

choose one, and go to work.

0:09:420:09:44

Welcome to QVC. I'm the senior vice president

0:09:440:09:47

of TV sales. We have a very diverse product mix.

0:09:470:09:50

The QVC executives presented us with six items to choose from.

0:09:500:09:54

There was this magnifying mirror, this utility tool kit,

0:09:540:09:58

and this bamboo storage drawer.

0:09:580:10:01

Then we had a fry pan,

0:10:010:10:04

an electric sweeper that you plugged into the wall,

0:10:040:10:07

charged it up, and you could vacuum anywhere.

0:10:070:10:11

'Then we had a ladder.'

0:10:110:10:12

Not only is it a stepladder, but also it has the ability

0:10:120:10:15

to be flipped up, and now the unit turns into a hand-truck,

0:10:150:10:20

-should you need to move anything around the house.

-Thank you very much.

0:10:200:10:24

-What did you like, Trace?

-The ladder.

0:10:270:10:30

I thought the ladder was just a great product.

0:10:300:10:33

I was impressed with it. Go for the ladder.

0:10:330:10:35

If you don't get it, make 'em flip.

0:10:350:10:37

'We went in to negotiate, and our mind was made up.'

0:10:370:10:40

If both teams want it, just go straight to the coin toss. There's no reason to talk about it.

0:10:400:10:45

OK, so, what if we lose the flip? What's after that?

0:10:450:10:48

-I would say the sweeper.

-And I would say the mirror.

0:10:480:10:52

I would say the sweeper-mirror. If you mounted the mirror

0:10:520:10:55

-on the front of the sweeper...

-THEY LAUGH

0:10:550:10:58

If I saw that LadderKart, I'd call immediately.

0:10:590:11:02

That is a passionate, great item.

0:11:020:11:04

We saw the LadderKart,

0:11:040:11:07

and this was a product I fell in love with instantly.

0:11:070:11:09

If I had seen it on television, I would've picked up my phone and ordered it right away.

0:11:090:11:14

-Carol, you're going to negotiate.

-What are we choosing?

0:11:140:11:17

The LadderKart.

0:11:170:11:19

So Carol and I decided to go in and negotiate

0:11:190:11:21

to see which one the Empresario team wanted.

0:11:210:11:24

-Hi, ladies.

-Hi!

0:11:240:11:27

-Have you all decided on a product?

-Most definitely.

0:11:270:11:30

-Which one would you like to start with?

-You go first.

0:11:300:11:33

-The ladder. What's your first choice?

-Ladder.

0:11:330:11:36

We're not going to give, no matter what. You want to flip a coin now?

0:11:360:11:39

-Flip a coin.

-'I'm God's guy, you know?'

0:11:390:11:42

I'm on Your team, Lord. Just...

0:11:420:11:44

Let's win that coin flip.

0:11:440:11:46

Heads.

0:11:460:11:48

Heads!

0:11:510:11:53

Er, lost the coin flip, and the girls got the product they wanted,

0:11:530:11:57

so we had to quickly pick the next product and move on with it.

0:11:570:12:01

-That was quick.

-They picked the ladder. They won the flip.

0:12:010:12:04

-Oh, jeez!

-That's fine!

0:12:040:12:06

'Sometimes in these situations, luck comes into play.'

0:12:060:12:09

-What else do we want?

-When we lost the coin flip,

0:12:090:12:13

the ladder wasn't meant to be.

0:12:130:12:15

Out of the problem, into the solution.

0:12:150:12:17

You could demonstrate that sweeper in ten seconds.

0:12:170:12:21

-Oh, yeah. People get it.

-What do you think of that sweeper?

0:12:210:12:24

I like it cos it's lightweight for women.

0:12:240:12:27

OK, the sweeper. That's it.

0:12:270:12:28

Marilu and I have both done QVC before.

0:12:400:12:43

I worked with them for five years, and I know QVC.

0:12:430:12:46

Yeah. You're way high-energy, and for me to keep going...

0:12:460:12:50

It's going to be detrimental. I think it's better to use Marilu.

0:12:500:12:54

When Marilu and I get together, I'm a very stabilising force for Marilu.

0:12:540:12:58

She trusts me, she looks to me, and I always, always have her back.

0:12:580:13:03

You will sell that to the Eskimos, right? I have no doubt.

0:13:030:13:06

'I decided that I would be the on-air talent.

0:13:060:13:08

'We had an advantage because I was familiar with the place.'

0:13:080:13:11

Every time I write a book, I'm on QVC selling my book.

0:13:110:13:14

It's perfect because it's two in one.

0:13:140:13:17

It's a ladder. It's a cart.

0:13:170:13:19

-It's incredible quality but amazing value.

-But amazing value.

0:13:190:13:24

'The most important thing is rehearsal.'

0:13:240:13:27

How many times do you have to have someone hold the ladder for you?

0:13:270:13:30

If I move about, demonstrating the ladder, maybe that will help.

0:13:300:13:33

I really love it!

0:13:330:13:35

Trace, you're our salesman today, dude.

0:13:350:13:38

I can't wait to see you do your thing, Trace.

0:13:380:13:41

-You watch me, baby.

-It's going to be good.

0:13:410:13:44

-Cos you're so good looking, son.

-Yeah, I understand that.

0:13:440:13:47

When you think QVC, and you think celebrities on QVC,

0:13:470:13:52

in my mind, Trace Adkins is that guy.

0:13:520:13:54

They're going to hire you at QVC, son.

0:13:540:13:57

Just the visual of, like, big old Trace Adkins

0:13:570:14:00

pushing around a cordless electric sweeper...

0:14:000:14:03

I just thought it was adorable.

0:14:030:14:05

Trace, we got somebody for you! This is the co-host.

0:14:050:14:10

-Lisa, right?

-Yes.

0:14:100:14:12

'We had an option of putting two of our team members on air,

0:14:120:14:16

'or to go with one team member and a QVC host.'

0:14:160:14:19

We opted to go with the QVC host because she was so darn cute!

0:14:190:14:24

I was raised in Tennessee, Collegedale.

0:14:240:14:27

'Upon meeting Lisa, I was struck by her presence.

0:14:270:14:31

'She's from Tennessee. She's a Southern girl.'

0:14:310:14:34

We took to each other immediately.

0:14:340:14:36

-It's all up to you. No!

-SHE LAUGHS

0:14:360:14:39

-Hey!

-How are you?

0:14:400:14:42

-Hi!

-How are you? Rick Domeier. Nice to meet you, sir.

0:14:420:14:46

I'll be playing the part of the cheer host.

0:14:460:14:48

So Rick comes in, the host, little Mr Smiley, with the teeth

0:14:480:14:52

and the blond and the hair

0:14:520:14:54

and the eyes, and, you know, Mr Game Show Host.

0:14:540:14:57

I would deliberately play to her unbelievable passion for this thing.

0:14:570:15:02

This is the best of both worlds, in that it's both heavy-duty

0:15:020:15:06

and it's lightweight. So I've got that down.

0:15:060:15:10

Come on. I want to see if I can put you on it.

0:15:100:15:12

'I thought it'd look interesting. I saw it in an old musical.'

0:15:120:15:16

Somebody dances in, and there's a cart, and somebody wheels them out.

0:15:160:15:19

'I thought that would make a great visual.'

0:15:190:15:22

-Hold on.

-I am. Gently easing back...

0:15:220:15:24

-Whoa!

-I'm sorry!

0:15:240:15:26

-That didn't go great.

-THEY LAUGH

0:15:260:15:29

That probably is not a good idea. I'm glad we tested that before -

0:15:290:15:33

Can I be on the other team?

0:15:330:15:35

Can we do just a mock rehearsal, a run-through, in here?

0:15:360:15:40

-Stephen?

-Yes, ma'am?

0:15:400:15:42

I made a suggestion to see if they wouldn't mind

0:15:420:15:44

doing some practice run-throughs in here,

0:15:440:15:47

just get chemistry, start scripting things.

0:15:470:15:50

No, not in this case.

0:15:500:15:52

Omarosa said, "You'd better prepare Trace for this,"

0:15:520:15:55

and something in my spirit said,

0:15:550:15:57

"This guy sings in front of 100,000 people."

0:15:570:16:00

I just had the faith it was all going to come together.

0:16:000:16:03

But I beg to differ, because this is like a dance.

0:16:030:16:06

She might be doing...

0:16:060:16:08

-Here's the thing.

-..one dance, and he may be doing another.

0:16:080:16:11

No, no. It is a dance, and she's leading.

0:16:110:16:14

I was begging Stephen for a rehearsal.

0:16:140:16:16

He's, like, "Ah, no. Let the chips fall where they may."

0:16:160:16:19

'If I were PM, there would've been a rehearsal.'

0:16:190:16:22

This is a live show. You've got ten minutes live on QVC.

0:16:220:16:26

There's no do-overs.

0:16:260:16:27

I'm a really good director.

0:16:270:16:29

I'm not worried about you, son.

0:16:300:16:33

-Hey, buddy!

-How are you?

-We got the best seller of the day,

0:16:500:16:54

-and we're going to sell a million of 'em.

-Very nice. Tell me.

0:16:540:16:57

Very lightweight. It only weighs three pounds. It's great.

0:16:570:17:00

I don't think Ivanka could live without one.

0:17:000:17:03

I don't think Ivanka does much sweeping.

0:17:030:17:06

'Empresario seemed pretty intelligent in the way they had Trace selling to Middle America.'

0:17:060:17:11

It's probably a good decision. He's probably the right spokesperson

0:17:110:17:14

for the product. But we'll see.

0:17:140:17:17

-Thanks again, Don.

-Good luck, guys.

-Appreciate it.

0:17:170:17:20

Oh, hey! I saw this product and I just went, "Wow."

0:17:230:17:27

This is something that is a must-have.

0:17:270:17:29

I will call anywhere to get this product.

0:17:290:17:31

It's something I'm always looking for.

0:17:310:17:33

'Hydra seemed organised. They seemed to have a plan.'

0:17:330:17:36

They believe in the product, which is the most important thing.

0:17:360:17:40

I love it. Let's say you're changing light bulbs, putting things up...

0:17:400:17:44

Marilu's the project manager, and she likes to talk.

0:17:440:17:47

-I want to put my name on this. You don't have to close it...

-'A lot.'

0:17:470:17:51

I definitely want to get it for my house.

0:17:510:17:53

It's great to have one, but you should have two.

0:17:530:17:56

So we'll see how that goes. Good luck. I'll catch up with you soon.

0:17:560:17:59

-Look forward to seeing you.

-Take care.

0:17:590:18:02

-Hey, fellas.

-Hello.

0:18:040:18:07

Within the task, both teams were assigned a creative consultant

0:18:070:18:11

who understands QVC's selling process.

0:18:110:18:14

In the payment structure, can I break the payments up

0:18:140:18:17

over several months, or is it a one-time price to pay now?

0:18:170:18:20

We have on products offered something called Easy Pay.

0:18:200:18:24

-What is that?

-You break up the payments in instalments.

-Really?

0:18:240:18:29

One thing that I was just so grateful to the Lord

0:18:290:18:32

for giving me this thought

0:18:320:18:34

was implementing this possibility called Easy Pay.

0:18:340:18:37

How much can Easy Pay be broken up? How many payments? Do we know?

0:18:370:18:42

-The most we will ever do in an Easy Pay is five.

-OK.

0:18:420:18:45

Very interesting. That's five easy payments of 12.

0:18:450:18:50

-Where does the director stand?

-Down here in the front.

0:18:520:18:55

Let me show you. You can be anywhere you want to be.

0:18:550:18:58

Going into the control room for the first time was great.

0:18:580:19:01

'I always wanted to be in that spot to direct something, anything.'

0:19:010:19:06

Obviously start with a video, build myself up, but then get to movies.

0:19:060:19:10

You know what's so funny? I've always wanted to do this.

0:19:100:19:14

Lennox fancied himself as a bit of a Francis Ford Coppola,

0:19:140:19:17

and I think he really thought this was his moment

0:19:170:19:20

to effectively direct Marilu Henner in a major motion picture.

0:19:200:19:25

We need tighter on her face.

0:19:250:19:28

Keep going. We're going to take a cutaway of Marilu.

0:19:280:19:30

Yo! Tell her to go get that glass thing!

0:19:300:19:34

HE LAUGHS

0:19:340:19:35

That was the job for me. I'm good at it.

0:19:350:19:38

I know what to see and know what to look for.

0:19:380:19:40

-I'm directing this.

-'Lennox was in control of the cameras.

0:19:400:19:43

'Carol was doing a lot of work on the set.'

0:19:430:19:46

Can we do a run-through?

0:19:460:19:48

I was in charge of the control room. It was quite exciting,

0:19:480:19:52

and you can see every second how you're doing,

0:19:520:19:54

and you're reacting to spikes in sale. I found that quite a buzz.

0:19:540:19:58

OK, guys. 30 seconds till we go live.

0:19:580:20:01

Marilu, can you hear me?

0:20:010:20:03

-Wing it.

-OK, wing it. I can't hear Piers.

0:20:030:20:06

She can't hear me, mate. 'Live TV is always vaguely chaotic.'

0:20:060:20:09

And you need to have a very good, well rehearsed team in place,

0:20:090:20:13

-which we clearly weren't.

-Ten seconds. Piers?

0:20:130:20:16

-Push all three of these.

-OK. Rick, can you hear me?

0:20:160:20:19

-Marilu, you can hear me?

-Yes.

0:20:190:20:21

OK. You look great. You're Marilu Henner. Just live it, baby.

0:20:210:20:25

-Here you go. And you guys are on.

-You're live.

0:20:250:20:28

You're watching the QVC Sampler. Hello, everybody. My name's Rick,

0:20:280:20:32

and this is actress, bestselling author and star,

0:20:320:20:35

-Marilu Henner.

-Oh, it's so great to be here, Rick!

0:20:350:20:38

"You have a lot of energy, and you're excited."

0:20:380:20:42

-So they used Marilu.

-She's the project manager of this task.

0:20:420:20:46

This was such a must-have for me. I said, "I have to sell it,

0:20:460:20:49

because this is the perfect two-in-one household item."

0:20:490:20:52

-Good, good.

-OK. You pull it out,

0:20:520:20:55

-and it's a ladder.

-Badda-boom!

0:20:550:20:57

I was going to buy it for my husband. Now I'm buying it for myself.

0:20:570:21:01

-It can actually hold 300lbs.

-300lbs!

0:21:010:21:03

Nine and a half feet in the air for me, cos I'm 5'7".

0:21:030:21:07

Change a bulb or reach for something. I feel totally secure.

0:21:070:21:10

But there's more. Fold it out, put up the little flap, and...

0:21:100:21:14

-it's a cart.

-It's a hand-cart!

-Oh, my gosh!

0:21:140:21:16

Her face, her face. I need her face.

0:21:160:21:18

It's great for you, your husband...

0:21:180:21:20

-It's two in one. It's under 50.

-The LadderKart. Wait a second!

0:21:200:21:24

Let's say we've gone to our garage. We've gotten our paint supplies.

0:21:240:21:28

-We're walking them to our kitchen.

-She's got great enthusiasm,

0:21:280:21:31

but she's talking a lot.

0:21:310:21:34

-Good afternoon...

-Oh, great!

-..to Karen.

0:21:340:21:36

-Hey, Karen!

-How are you?

-"Hi!"

0:21:360:21:38

-What are you shopping for, Karen?

-"The hand-truck and stepladder."

0:21:380:21:42

-OK, Karen. All right.

-Why would it come in handy for you?

0:21:420:21:46

Oh, my gosh. How many times do you need a stepladder?

0:21:460:21:50

-Lifting things, storing things...

-Karen, why do you think

0:21:500:21:53

-it's going to come in handy for you?

-Marilu, don't talk when she's on.

0:21:530:21:58

-She sounds a little nervous.

-Not only that - she's nervous,

0:21:580:22:01

and the other guy's talking too, and they're both... You get a headache.

0:22:010:22:06

She's jumping from one thing into the next without exploring it.

0:22:060:22:09

And yet she's got great enthusiasm, so I don't know.

0:22:090:22:13

-Marilu Henner...

-It's a stepladder. I love this thing.

0:22:130:22:16

-..thank you for joining us on QVC.

-Oh, thank you,

0:22:160:22:19

-and I'm taking my LadderKart home.

-We have more on QVC Sampler.

0:22:190:22:23

-Bye-bye, everyone.

-Red's up. Set's clear.

0:22:230:22:25

-That was nice!

-Good job. Good job, Marilu!

0:22:250:22:29

'I thought Marilu did great.'

0:22:290:22:32

She had huge energy, kept going. She was passionate, vigorous...

0:22:320:22:36

-How was our volume doing?

-Well, it went down,

0:22:360:22:39

then it began to go up, then it began to stabilise,

0:22:390:22:42

-then it went back up.

-She did a good job.

0:22:420:22:44

-Let's go say hi.

-The only reason we would've lost

0:22:440:22:47

is if it was the wrong product.

0:22:470:22:50

25 seconds, guys. 25 seconds, Trace.

0:22:520:22:55

-I got to get my jacket.

-Don't worry. I'll have that ready for you.

0:22:550:22:58

My black jacket's in the green room.

0:22:580:23:01

Trace is so nervous, I think he's going to pass out.

0:23:030:23:06

'I have never seen him this way.'

0:23:060:23:08

He's usually a really cool, laid-back cowboy.

0:23:080:23:11

-What is this thing on my neck here?

-It's a piece of tape.

0:23:110:23:15

Oh, is it that clip thing?

0:23:150:23:17

-Trace, can you hear us, buddy?

-Yeah, I hear you.

0:23:170:23:21

Tito, do your thing!

0:23:210:23:23

When Trace had the chance to rehearse the stuff,

0:23:230:23:27

Stephen said, "No, he'll get it no problem." I was kind of sketched out.

0:23:270:23:30

I'm, like, "Maybe I think Trace should rehearse it a couple of times."

0:23:300:23:34

All right, guys. We're going live in five seconds.

0:23:340:23:37

-Here we go.

-Three, two, one.

0:23:370:23:40

-And we're live.

-Thank you so much.

0:23:400:23:43

We have something brand new in our QVC Sampler tonight.

0:23:430:23:46

Trace, one of the biggest names in country music...

0:23:460:23:49

They're using the big voice.

0:23:490:23:52

It's interesting that Stephen chose Trace to be on.

0:23:520:23:54

It's the voice, the demeanour.

0:23:540:23:56

There are several reasons I'm here today.

0:23:560:23:59

The first I want to tell you about is this unit right here,

0:23:590:24:02

the Super Sweeper. It's cordless, rechargeable, convenient.

0:24:020:24:05

-"It's all those things."

-Back to jib. On the sweeper.

0:24:050:24:08

Perfect, Michael.

0:24:080:24:10

-Picks up some big things.

-Yeah, nuts and bolts and stuff.

0:24:100:24:13

-You're not kidding around!

-Yeah! It starts picking it all up.

0:24:130:24:17

-That's pretty good.

-And it's easy for him.

0:24:170:24:19

It's not a difficult prop. The ladder, you're opening it, closing it, climbing it.

0:24:190:24:24

I like that he used screws and bolts,

0:24:240:24:26

because whoever heard of a vacuum cleaner picking up those? That's good.

0:24:260:24:30

And another reason I'm here, I'm a father. I have five daughters,

0:24:300:24:34

and they're always doing this craft stuff,

0:24:340:24:37

always making a mess. You know what it is with kids around.

0:24:370:24:40

-He's got a nice way about him.

-Yeah. A very opposite attitude

0:24:400:24:45

to Marilu - calm, relaxed.

0:24:450:24:47

There's just a little clip holding that in. You pull that out,

0:24:470:24:50

and you're done. So we felt that this was a great deal.

0:24:500:24:53

-Mention Easy Pay.

-It's unusual for something to be brand new

0:24:530:24:57

and on Easy Pay. It's on five payments

0:24:570:25:00

of 11 dollars and 99 cents,

0:25:000:25:02

so it's a great value.

0:25:020:25:05

-We got a spike.

-"This thing is so quick, too."

0:25:050:25:08

Start to wrap it up, guys.

0:25:080:25:10

-I'm so proud to be here with you today.

-Good seeing you!

0:25:100:25:13

-"Wonderful seeing you."

-"You, too."

-"Great having you here."

0:25:130:25:17

There seems to be a lack of energy with him, but I think it's almost confidence.

0:25:170:25:21

She had great enthusiasm, but she didn't seen calm.

0:25:210:25:23

So it could play both ways.

0:25:230:25:26

Thank you very much, guys.

0:25:260:25:28

That was so awesome, Trace! You brought it.

0:25:280:25:31

-You hit every point.

-'My instincts were correct.'

0:25:310:25:34

Trace walked right through it. He was absolutely brilliant.

0:25:340:25:38

Tito! Killer!

0:25:380:25:40

'I was watching the sales monitor itself.'

0:25:400:25:43

Thank you!

0:25:430:25:45

I'm not really sure if we pulled this off.

0:25:450:25:47

'Did we pull it off? Maybe. We'll see what happens in the end.'

0:25:470:25:52

So, I got to watch both performances on QVC.

0:26:260:26:30

They were very different. How do you think you did, Marilu?

0:26:300:26:33

We certainly had a lot of passion for the product.

0:26:330:26:36

I think we played to each others' strengths.

0:26:360:26:39

I was on a real learning curve, because it was my first day on Hydra.

0:26:390:26:43

-You think you won?

-I think we won. I think we won.

0:26:430:26:46

How do you think you did, Piers?

0:26:460:26:48

I have to say, for sheer energy, passion, leadership,

0:26:480:26:52

Marilu, from the moment she heard it was QVC,

0:26:520:26:54

said, "This is mine," and I found her passion great.

0:26:540:26:58

Marilu was great in that she was very enthusiastic.

0:26:580:27:01

Very, very enthusiastic over a ladder.

0:27:010:27:03

-And a trolley.

-Not the most exciting thing.

0:27:030:27:06

-Tito, what do you think?

-I thought we did a really great job.

0:27:060:27:10

-Who's the star of your team, Tito?

-The star of our team?

0:27:100:27:13

It would have to go to Trace. He really sold it.

0:27:130:27:16

I thought Trace was so calm.

0:27:160:27:19

I always see them, they throw a couple of feathers down,

0:27:190:27:22

pick them up - big deal. This thing's picking up nuts and bolts

0:27:220:27:25

and screws. I've never seen that before. That was very impressive.

0:27:250:27:29

Very good. Stephen, did Omarosa do a good job?

0:27:290:27:33

-Omarosa did an excellent job.

-Really?

-Yes, sir.

0:27:330:27:36

Thank you!

0:27:360:27:37

I have to be around people who bring out the best in me, Mr Trump.

0:27:370:27:41

-You seem to like this team better than Piers'.

-Absolutely.

0:27:410:27:44

So, Stephen, the product that you sold

0:27:450:27:48

-was higher priced.

-Yes.

-Does that bother you?

0:27:480:27:50

-Are you worried about that?

-Not at all, sir.

0:27:500:27:53

Something that we've learned historically on QVC,

0:27:530:27:56

which is very helpful in sales, is something called Easy Pay,

0:27:560:28:00

which we made the product available at 59.95,

0:28:000:28:04

with five payments of 11.99.

0:28:040:28:06

You were very good, very enthusiastic, but you seemed a little nervous.

0:28:090:28:13

I'm just saying, with Trace, it was a very calm situation over there.

0:28:130:28:17

Both did a good job, but very, very different.

0:28:170:28:20

This is going to be a tough one. Don,

0:28:200:28:23

-how did Empresario do?

-Empresario did really well.

0:28:230:28:26

They sold 716 units

0:28:260:28:28

for a total of 43,000.

0:28:280:28:31

That's pretty good.

0:28:330:28:35

OK. Ivanka, how did Hydra do?

0:28:350:28:38

Hydra sold...

0:28:380:28:40

703 units,

0:28:400:28:43

for a total of 35,145.

0:28:430:28:47

So the winner is Empresario.

0:28:470:28:51

OK. Hydra, there was a couple of bad decisions made, obviously.

0:28:510:28:56

Number one, you sold less units at a lesser price and for less money,

0:28:560:28:59

so that's pretty much of a romp, wouldn't you say, Piers?

0:28:590:29:03

-We got beat.

-You got beat.

0:29:030:29:06

So, you folks have done a great job. You were a fantastic host,

0:29:060:29:10

and the nuts and bolts was a great idea,

0:29:100:29:13

so I congratulate all of you. And as you know, Stephen,

0:29:130:29:16

you're going to get 20,000 additional.

0:29:160:29:18

-You're doing very well.

-Thank you.

-20,000 additional for your charity.

0:29:180:29:22

-And your charity?

-The Carol Baldwin Breast Cancer Research Fund.

0:29:220:29:26

-Always stick with Mom, right?

-Absolutely. No question.

0:29:260:29:29

Congratulations. Go to the War Room. You can watch.

0:29:290:29:33

-Thank you, Mr Trump.

-That was a great job.

0:29:330:29:36

They did a very good job.

0:29:360:29:39

THEY LAUGH

0:29:440:29:46

Y'all, that is crazy!

0:29:470:29:51

QVC was the most important to me,

0:29:510:29:54

because it was my second opportunity at winning as project manager.

0:29:540:29:57

Oh, that was my favourite task!

0:29:570:30:00

Winning another 20,000 bucks for my mom's organisation is a huge plus.

0:30:000:30:04

My mom's going to trip!

0:30:040:30:07

-She is, man. That's great.

-You done good for your mom.

-Thanks.

0:30:070:30:11

Thank you, Jesus!

0:30:110:30:13

-So, Marilu, that was a loss.

-That was a loss,

0:30:220:30:25

and it was a loss on something we felt very passionate about.

0:30:250:30:28

So, Piers, who would you blame?

0:30:280:30:30

Who would I blame? I'd blame the team.

0:30:300:30:32

Who would you blame as an individual?

0:30:320:30:35

-I like leaders who show passion.

-And she showed passion.

0:30:350:30:38

-I've worked for lots of people on this show.

-She's a terrific woman,

0:30:380:30:42

but she's the PM and you lost, so that's always a negative.

0:30:420:30:45

-Why didn't you use Easy Pay?

-We didn't even know that was an option.

0:30:450:30:50

Do you think any of the responsibility lies with you, Carol,

0:30:500:30:53

-for not suggesting it?

-No. We used -

0:30:530:30:56

Did you know about Easy Pay?

0:30:560:30:58

No.

0:30:580:31:00

Between Carol and Marilu, you should've known.

0:31:000:31:04

-I'd never heard of it.

-An instalment plan on QVC is pretty common.

0:31:040:31:07

I've never seen a product on it without one.

0:31:070:31:10

So, Piers, if you were me, who would you fire?

0:31:100:31:13

We've lost, and somebody has to get fired.

0:31:130:31:15

-I don't really...

-Who would you fire, Piers?

0:31:150:31:17

Who would I fire? Um... Difficult one.

0:31:170:31:20

Who contributed least? Sleepy Boy, who was asleep for most of the day

0:31:200:31:24

-because he'd been laid out. So...

-Hang on. Hang on a second.

0:31:240:31:29

I wasn't asleep. I was asleep on the helicopter ride over.

0:31:290:31:32

That's not a nice thing to say. You can say he slept -

0:31:320:31:35

-What do you mean, not very helpful?

-I believe, in this situation -

0:31:350:31:39

It's just not a nice way of putting it.

0:31:390:31:41

You could say somebody was, like, sleeping,

0:31:410:31:44

-but you don't call him Sleepy Boy.

-Why not?

0:31:440:31:47

-I don't think it's very appropriate.

-It wasn't meant to be an insult.

0:31:470:31:51

-"Well, it is insulting."

-He's got Piers in his sights right now.

0:31:510:31:54

-Oh!

-Piers is going home.

-Piers is going down, baby!

0:31:540:31:58

Our relationship is based on good old-fashioned British banter.

0:31:580:32:02

He wouldn't take offence, and he's called me a lot worse.

0:32:020:32:06

-Would you take offence?

-Absolutely. I wasn't sleeping.

0:32:060:32:09

-You were sleeping.

-Marilu, was I sleeping?

0:32:090:32:12

-You were very low-keyed in the morning.

-In the morning,

0:32:120:32:16

but when everything started, was I low-key?

0:32:160:32:18

Well, I don't know you that well, so... You were lower-key

0:32:180:32:22

-than anybody else on the team.

-Was I awake for my task?

0:32:220:32:25

-Yes.

-But a lot of work needs to be done before that.

0:32:250:32:28

If you're asking me to get into the blame game,

0:32:280:32:31

I believe that when you look at these things,

0:32:310:32:33

can I fault Marilu for leadership? No.

0:32:330:32:35

Can I fault her for commitment, enthusiasm, dedication? No.

0:32:350:32:39

-But the team lost.

-But you can fault her on one thing.

0:32:390:32:42

-Yeah.

-I thought that she was very...like, talkative.

0:32:420:32:47

-You were so opposite Trace.

-We have different energies. You can tell.

0:32:470:32:51

Your energy's just as good. It's a different thing.

0:32:510:32:54

-It's different.

-But you were overdoing yours.

0:32:540:32:57

I understand your energy. But you were overdoing it.

0:32:570:33:00

So, Lennox, if you were me, who would you fire?

0:33:000:33:03

Well, you know, er...

0:33:040:33:06

I would say it all breaks down to the PM,

0:33:060:33:10

but, you know, it's not my decision.

0:33:100:33:13

Carol, if you were me, who would you fire?

0:33:130:33:16

I agree it has to do with the PM,

0:33:160:33:18

because the decisions went back to her,

0:33:180:33:20

although we agreed, because she was passionate

0:33:200:33:24

and swayed us into the ladder. She really wanted this ladder.

0:33:240:33:27

I think our biggest problem was price point.

0:33:270:33:29

-Obviously an easy pick.

-That had nothing to do with it.

0:33:290:33:32

In this case, if you were five or ten dollars higher, it wouldn't have mattered that much.

0:33:320:33:37

-But the Easy Pay part of it -

-That would've mattered.

0:33:370:33:40

-That's what I mean.

-And someone's responsible for that.

0:33:400:33:44

They had a big advantage, but they figured that out.

0:33:440:33:47

But Piers, you say that you would fire Lennox.

0:33:470:33:49

You asked me to get into the blame game.

0:33:490:33:52

Lennox isn't the reason you lost.

0:33:520:33:54

But in the end, I would judge more...

0:33:540:33:57

I'm not as inclined as the other two to just pin it all on Marilu.

0:33:570:34:01

"I thought she led the team great."

0:34:010:34:03

Piers is awfully subdued, y'all!

0:34:030:34:06

Look at how mellow he is. "I'm in shock."

0:34:060:34:09

If a decision in the end rests with the project manager,

0:34:090:34:12

Marilu wouldn't buck that charge. She took personal charge of this.

0:34:120:34:16

If, in your estimation, this was personal, the PM led from the front.

0:34:160:34:20

She did the presentation. If you believe the thing that let us down

0:34:200:34:24

-was over-excitement, that was her problem.

-No. It was Easy Pay.

0:34:240:34:28

That makes it very hard for Marilu to buck that charge.

0:34:280:34:31

-Well, I think Marilu is terrific.

-So do I. I'm not doing that.

0:34:310:34:35

I'm just saying, it depends on the criteria for judgement.

0:34:350:34:38

If you ask me who gave the least contribution,

0:34:380:34:42

Lennox, when he's had sleep, is great, and when he hasn't,

0:34:420:34:44

-he doesn't contribute very much.

-I've seen Lennox sleepy in the ring.

0:34:440:34:48

-All of a sudden he knocks the other guy out.

-This time we didn't.

0:34:480:34:52

Don't be deceived by Lennox. Marilu, who would you fire?

0:34:520:34:56

If you're expecting every single person to contribute a lot,

0:34:560:35:00

and to take...fill up... you know, pick up the slack,

0:35:000:35:04

I don't... I... You know...

0:35:040:35:07

-I mean, I... Let's put it this way.

-Go ahead. Who would you fire?

0:35:070:35:10

Stop talking so much. That's why you lost. You talk too much.

0:35:100:35:14

Who would you fire?

0:35:140:35:16

She's going to say Lennox. Watch.

0:35:210:35:23

Come on!

0:35:230:35:25

You know what? Don't give me an answer. I want you...

0:35:270:35:29

to tell me who's going away, who's going to be free,

0:35:290:35:33

and then three of you are going to come back here.

0:35:330:35:36

Who are you going to absolve right now?

0:35:360:35:39

In terms of our individual responsibility -

0:35:390:35:42

In terms of "who are you going to let go".

0:35:420:35:44

-Who did the best job?

-For me, Carol.

0:35:440:35:47

-Carol did the best job?

-Yes, for me.

-OK. Carol's free.

0:35:470:35:50

Congratulations, Carol. That's excellent.

0:35:500:35:52

The three of you, go out. Come back in a couple of minutes.

0:35:520:35:55

-Thank you very much.

-OK.

0:35:550:35:57

I don't like seeing you in this position.

0:36:110:36:14

HE LAUGHS

0:36:170:36:19

-Oh, dear. Bye, Carol. Well done.

-Don't say bye.

0:36:220:36:26

-Well, you never know.

-I don't know who I'm going to see.

0:36:260:36:30

SHE WHISPERS

0:36:310:36:34

-What do you think, Ivanka?

-I think in this situation,

0:36:370:36:41

it seems like the fault has to lie with Marilu.

0:36:410:36:43

She led the team. She was the on-air talent.

0:36:430:36:46

She really took on a lot of responsibility,

0:36:460:36:48

-and the buck stops with her.

-What do you think, Don?

0:36:480:36:51

I agree overall about the project manager,

0:36:510:36:54

but I'm really surprised Marilu let Carol go.

0:36:540:36:56

I don't believe Carol didn't know about Easy Pay.

0:36:560:36:59

-You don't think so?

-Course not.

0:36:590:37:02

-Five years she's worked for QVC...

-Yeah.

0:37:020:37:04

-I'd have kept her in just for that.

-How do you say you don't know?

0:37:040:37:08

-That was a big one.

-Five years you work for a company,

0:37:080:37:11

you've never heard of Easy Pay? Come on.

0:37:110:37:13

So I think the blame for that lay with her, absolutely. Square one.

0:37:130:37:18

So, Marilu, why would I fire Piers over you

0:37:340:37:37

when you were the project manager, and ultimately responsible

0:37:370:37:41

for all of this, whether it was Lennox or Carol... Why?

0:37:410:37:44

Because I'm a better player in terms of what I bring

0:37:440:37:48

-in so many different areas.

-But we're talking about this task.

0:37:480:37:51

Why did you bring back Lennox over Carol,

0:37:510:37:53

-who had experience and didn't know about the credit system?

-Right.

0:37:530:37:57

I brought back Lennox over Carol because I know Carol's work ethic,

0:37:570:38:01

and also I saw her in action all day long,

0:38:010:38:04

constantly working hard, doing what she needed to do.

0:38:040:38:08

Lennox, as Piers mentioned, was very sleepy,

0:38:080:38:10

especially the first half of the day,

0:38:100:38:12

and I never saw him pick up a ball and run with it.

0:38:120:38:15

It was very difficult on the team to know exactly what Lennox was doing

0:38:150:38:19

-at any given time.

-But you're supposed to be the project manager.

0:38:190:38:22

Aren't you supposed to be telling him what to do?

0:38:220:38:25

-I was.

-I'm surprised Carol's not here.

0:38:250:38:28

I'm a little surprised, too, because she knew the system,

0:38:280:38:32

and you didn't use her, and she didn't volunteer it.

0:38:320:38:35

She said she had never heard of Easy Pay. She never used it before.

0:38:350:38:39

-That's ridiculous.

-That's not very observant of her.

0:38:390:38:41

-The idea that she did not know -

-She's been there for a while.

0:38:410:38:45

-She hasn't done it for a while.

-If Easy Pay was why we lost,

0:38:450:38:48

someone who was working for QVC for five years

0:38:480:38:51

was never aware of their main price plan...

0:38:510:38:54

-I'm incredulous.

-You know what I find more amazing?

0:38:540:38:57

For the first time, you're sweating. What the hell are you sweating for?

0:38:570:39:01

I'm amazed I wasn't released back into the community.

0:39:010:39:04

I've never seen you sweat. You went after Omarosa, you were cool.

0:39:040:39:09

-I mean, I'm looking at you now.

-I'll tell you why I brought Piers back.

0:39:090:39:12

I don't want to get fired. I always sweat when I'm about to get fired.

0:39:120:39:17

I just think it's very difficult, in my father's situation,

0:39:170:39:20

unless you really isolate somebody as having terribly underperformed...

0:39:200:39:24

Ivanka, thank you. I really appreciate you saying that.

0:39:240:39:28

-I'm in a very difficult position.

-I felt like I only had three people to work with,

0:39:280:39:33

because really, Lennox was not there for the first morning.

0:39:330:39:36

-Lennox is not the reason you lost.

-If we'd had another fourth person,

0:39:360:39:40

able to do research and help us create the product and price point -

0:39:400:39:44

Lennox is not the reason you lost.

0:39:440:39:48

The truth is, Marilu, the reason we lost this task

0:39:480:39:51

is because of the project manager.

0:39:510:39:53

And it hurts me to say this, but, Marilu, you're fired.

0:39:540:39:58

And you are a terrific woman. Get the hell out of here. Thank you.

0:40:020:40:06

-Hey, guys, it was great.

-I'm sorry I'm not going to work with you.

0:40:150:40:18

I know. Me too.

0:40:180:40:21

Bye!

0:40:240:40:26

She's a very high-quality woman.

0:40:270:40:30

It's hard, because that is a nice person.

0:40:300:40:32

She played the game well, but it's a decision you have to make.

0:40:320:40:36

Sleepy Boy's back. Sleepy Boy is back.

0:41:040:41:08

The experience of being on The Apprentice was a blast.

0:41:090:41:12

I've been a fan of The Apprentice for a long time.

0:41:120:41:15

Mr Trump was very sweet,

0:41:150:41:17

and I now feel like a member of the Trump family.

0:41:170:41:20

I'm feeling great, because I played the game with integrity,

0:41:200:41:24

energy, passion and resilience.
