Clay got completely robbed. Arsenio's trek up Donald Trump's lower digestive track won him the Celebrity Apprentice title. How ridiculous. Clay earned almost twice the money Arsenio did, even though the show was sure to list the big names that were sending checks to Arsenio. Should have known from that.
Ridiculous...

Message: I know I called for Arsenio to win last week but I was beginning to question myself during the live boardroom -- at the very end I thought Clay was going to have it but then Donald called Arsenio's name. I wish we knew why Donald picks his pick -- seemed a bit arbitrary to me at the last minute. Then I kept hearing Donald say he wants a piece of Arsenio's comeback. So I think Donald thought he'd get more traction with Arsenio winning and Arsenio would have to kiss his but from now on.

Message: I actually didn't care who won although I thought Clay would. Anyway, it's over. On to the next...

Message:
That is what my husband said, that Clay brought in much more money, I had a feeling though that Arsenio had this one in the bag. Maybe just because he has been around Hollywood longer, and knows more people? I don't know but I think Trump seemed to respect Arsenio more.
Who knows though the reasons why Trump picks his winners.
Either way congrats to him and it is good that both charities (and the others) had exposure/publicity on National TV.

Message: I am so glad I didn't watch the end! I watched until about 10:30 and had a feeling Arsenio would win due to all the big names being thrown around. Clay should have won and it stinks! But I look at it this way Arsenio needs a lot more help with his non-existent career than Clay does. I will also not be watching the end of American Idol either. I do all I can to lessen the frustration in my life and will not waste my time watching someone I don't care for.

Message: I agree...I was sure Clay would win.
But then as the finale went on (and on) I wondered how Donald even makes his decision each year...Does he flip a coin under that desk? Does he choose based on what color the finalists are wearing? (lol) It doesn't seem like much thought goes into the decision.
Or maybe because Clay's team had been so successful in fundraising during the final task, he wanted Arsenio's charity to benefit from the money?
Either way, it was great publicity for the charities and both Clay & Arsenio. I continue to watch year after year and can't wait to see what 'celebrities' Trump brings in next season...
