In last night's episode of The Celebrity Apprentice, the final five were challenged to create a Quizno's flatbread sammie and sell as many as possible in two hours. This challenge differed from the others in that it was all about speed and sales because Donald banned them from calling their contacts this time.
Hydra's sammie concept was "The Champ" named after project manager Lennox Lewis, and Empresario's concept was "The Cowboy Club" named after project manager Trace Adkins. Hydra had an obvious advantage with an extra team member and a more recognizable celebrity to promote their sammie.
In past episodes Donald and Co. have been pretty consistent about firing the project manager, but this time they looked at overall performance and potential to succeed going forward. Stevie B., as he's been known to call himself, was fired even though Trace admitted he'd made all the decisions that day.
Just when I thought we'd see Stephen Baldwin's farewell clip and then call it a night, Donald summons the final four to the boardroom to tell them that two more will be fired before the end of the night!

Oh yeah! First voter! That was a tough call, but I do think that Trace has more to offer in the coming challenges. If he makes it past the duel firing that is!
