How we suffer tonight with Star Jones ego and bra straps unleashed. And NeNe's unabated crassness.

Seriously, Star's tripped all over Monaco and St. Tropez, but she's never caught on to shapewear that secures a visible bra strap. Her incessant bloviating and luxury one-upmanship wore everyone out tonight.

Tonight on Celebrity Apprentice, teams ASAP and Backbone were asked to come up with a four-page ad layout promoting the Trump Hotel luxury property brand.

Team Backbone is hamstrung by attrition, as John Rich steps up, and he and Lil Jon once again are simpatico, an Meat Loaf is out to lunch.

Trump began the show with his odious feelers for his potential presidential candidacy and asked who wouldn't vote for him if he were to run and nobody raised their hand, of course the Obama birther chat wasn't in the news at this point.

Team ASAP goes with Star, who cooks up the narrative "individual elegance and collective luxury" as their concept, and then there's a bit of a personality triage as LaToya and NeNe have to make nice and apologize. Then, those two are sent on a fetch run. NeNe is tasked with Hope's sexy bathtub shoot. It goes badly.

John Rich tries to eradicate typos, no one uses spell check on Backbone. On the way to the pitch meeting, they realize that they are staying IN a Trump hotel, and this gives them a confidence boost before they underwhelm the Saveur chief editor, who looks pained the whole pitch process.

When Donald Trump asked his executive team which campaign they liked the best, the executives said that both stunk on ice.

No phone numbers, websites social media links worked all the Trump executives nerves. The women wind up taking the hit because Backbone is down to three guys.

Trump asked Star Jones who she would like to have accompany her into the room and she picked NeNe Leaks and LaToya Jackson. Donald Trump decided that because the tasks were only going to get harder, teams needed to get along, so he fires LaToya, after commenting on Star's smaller ass, thanks to NeNe's gross remark!

Well, looks like Star is headed for the win. What say you all?
