Dayana Mendoza is Eliminated on THE CELEBRITY APPRENTICE

On last night's episode of NBC's THE CELEBRITY APPRENTICE entitled "Jingle All the Way", the teams were tasked with writing and performing a new jingle for Good Sam. It was déjà vu for one team, whose Project Manager, Arsenio Hall, struggled with a power-usurping teammate.

On the other team, a mutiny resulted in some of the season’s biggest fireworks when the team hijacked the task away from the Project Manager, Miss Universe Dayana Mendoza. It all came down to the performances, and the celebrities had to sing their hearts out to get the win. In the Boardroom, Hall's was declared the victor, and Mr. Trump sent Mendoza home packing. Boardroom advisors were Ivanka Trump and Donald Trump Jr.

This season, eighteen business-savvy celebrity contestants compete, not for a job with the Trump Organization, but for the greater goal of raising money and awareness for their charity of choice. The last person standing will be chosen as the Celebrity Apprentice and have the honor of delivering a $250,000 bonus check to their designated charity.

Every week, the celebrity contestants work in two teams, each under the guidance of a designated project manager, to compete in business-driven tasks around New York City, using their fame, along with their proven business acumen, to win challenges. Contestants are subjected to long hours, grueling deadlines, intellectual challenges, personality clashes, and intense scrutiny under the careful watch of Donald Trump and his advisors.

Certain challenges encourage contestants to reach out to their network of celebrity contacts for assistance or donations, leading to surprise visits by some of the world’s biggest stars and pop culture icons.

Each task ends in the boardroom, where contestants must account for their actions and be judged by Trump and his advisors. Returning this season are Trump’s children and colleagues, Ivanka, Donald Jr. and Eric.
