Trump asks Marlee what it's been like to be on the show. She says this has been an amazing week, and she thanks her fans and family and everyone. Trump says she won the Academy Award, and now she's an even bigger star. Everyone claps, including Rich applauding her. Trump says they really like each other, don't they? Rich says she's great. Trump says they both are. Trump asks what Rich's week has been like. He says he thinks he's said "St. Jude" a thousand times in the past week, which has been great.
Trump asks Meat Loaf who he likes, since he got to know them both very well. Meat Loaf says he has stayed in touch with both of them, and he's playing with them. He asks Meat Loaf again and again to tell him who he likes, then he moves on. Nene likes them both. So does Busey. Star says he's asking an open-ended question, since they like them both. But she thinks Rich raising that extra $275,000 puts him over the top. Trump asks Lil Jon, who's like, "Do you really have to ask me that?" Because, you know, duh. Trump says he already knows, but Lil Jon hollers, "John Rich!" Trump asks La Toya, who says that John Rich "executed himself" (suicide?) so well, that she has to root for him. Interesting that even Marlee's team (La Toya) and longtime teammates (Star) are choosing Rich. David Cassidy chooses Marlee. Mark says, "Let me just say this. Marlee had the best week ever in the history of Celebrity Apprentice, but John Rich had the best season in the history of Celebrity Apprentice." Trump says it's all about charity, and since they'll be fighting for a quarter-million dollars, he asks if they're excited.
The screen above Trump shows Marlee going to Africa to help Starkey Hearing Foundation, which travels to these countries to provide the gift of hearing to children, primarily through the use of hearing aids. Marlee gets emotional watching kids hear for the first time and then speaking for the first time. She says it was a huge gift to get to see these kids. Marlee says it's important for her to win this show because "I deserve to win so I can help these kids." Trump says that's very beautiful, then sends us to yet another commercial.
