Celebrity Apprentice Season 3 Episode 2 Smooth In, Smooth Out
- March 21, 2010
In Celebrity Apprentice season 3 episode 2, appropriately titled "Smooth In, Smooth Out," the celebrities face their second challenge under the leadership of Donald Trump. The task involves creating an advertising campaign for Edge shaving gel, with the goal of increasing sales and brand awareness.
The celebrities are divided into two teams, led by project managers Bret Michaels and Curtis Stone. Michaels' team includes Sharon Osbourne, Cyndi Lauper, and Holly Robinson Peete, while Stone's team consists of Summer Sanders, Michael Johnson, and Maria Kanellis.
Both teams immediately get to work brainstorming ideas for their campaigns, with Michaels' team deciding to focus on the fact that Edge shaving gel is the go-to choice for rockers like Michaels, while Stone's team chooses to highlight the gel's moisturizing properties.
Once the ideas are in place, the teams set to work on creating their ads. Michaels' team goes for a rock-and-roll theme, with a video that features Michaels performing a new song about shaving alongside footage of the other team members shaving with Edge gel. Stone's team creates a more traditional commercial, featuring a spokesperson (played by Sanders) extolling the virtues of the gel.
The teams present their ads to a panel of experts, which includes representatives from Edge and advertising agencies. While both teams receive praise for their efforts, one team ultimately comes out on top, thanks in part to a clever social media strategy and strong performances from all team members.
As is typical on Celebrity Apprentice, there's also drama brewing behind the scenes. Michaels and Lauper nearly come to blows over creative differences, while Stone and Johnson clash over leadership styles.
In the end, however, it all comes down to the boardroom. One celebrity is fired by Trump, based on performance in the task and overall contributions to the team effort.
Overall, "Smooth In, Smooth Out" is a classic Celebrity Apprentice episode, featuring a creative challenge, plenty of conflict, and a dramatic conclusion. With its mix of celebrity personalities and business-minded tasks, the show continues to attract fans and inspire viewers to strive for greatness in their own lives.
