I watched Celebrity Apprentice ready to hate Joan Rivers and I really wanted Annie Duke to win, but it was very clear two or three episodes in that Annie Duke has no ethics. She was a true snake in the grass who played everybody off of one another and then proceeded to stab them in the back when it best suited her. But what really disgusted me most about her was how full of herself she was. She felt entitled and was so sure of herself, which is where she made her fatal error. She so easily dismissed other people's talents and experiences, and frankly, Joan Rivers' 76 years and her brilliant very diverse career "trumped" Annie's blind ambition. It was a real eye opener and I was very surprised at what I saw. I have a newfound respect for Joan Rivers who won fair and square and played with dignity and grace. Annie was so full of hubris, she even thought she was going to win a "war of words" with Joan Rivers! Are you kidding me? Nobody is as quick-witted and sharp as Joan and it was a pleasure to watch her annihilate Annie who always thought she was one step ahead, smarter, more clever than everybody else. Ha! She wasn't! And as for Brunson. Joan is right. Outside of we poker fanatics, who the hell is he? She's a comedy legend and show business icon who's made more money than most every big poker player COMBINED and the minute Annie started treating her with such disrespect (and everybody else, too), Joan showed her who is boss. If the roles would have been reversed and Joan underestimated Annie and treated her like a pawn in a chess game, I'd be rooting for Annie to bring Joan down. But that's not what happened. Joan was right and Annie was wrong. Regardless, it was AWESOME tv!!
