Celebrity Apprentice Season 4 Episode 5 The Art of the Deal
- April 3, 2011
The Art of the Deal is the fourth episode of the fourth season of the reality TV show Celebrity Apprentice. This episode begins with the two teams, Apex and Backbone, being summoned to the boardroom where they are informed that they will be creating and selling works of art to raise money for charity.
The two teams are split into groups of three, and each group is tasked with creating a piece of art that can be sold at auction. The teams are given a budget of $20,000, which they must use to purchase supplies and pay for labor.
The first part of the episode follows the teams as they work on their art pieces. Each team must come up with a concept for their artwork and then find the supplies and labor they need to create it. The teams face challenges such as finding the right materials and dealing with creative differences among team members.
Once the teams have completed their artwork, they must take it to an auction house and try to sell it to potential buyers. The teams are given the opportunity to speak to the buyers and explain the concept behind their artwork, as well as the charity that will benefit from the sale.
Throughout the episode, the teams are also tasked with completing smaller challenges designed to test their business acumen. For example, they are asked to create a marketing campaign for their artwork and to negotiate with vendors over the price of their supplies.
The episode culminates in a boardroom meeting where the team that raised the most money through the sale of their artwork is declared the winner. The losing team must select two members to potentially be fired by the show's host, Donald Trump.
Overall, The Art of the Deal is a challenging episode that tests the creative and business skills of the celebrities competing on the show. The tasks are designed to push the teams out of their comfort zones and force them to think creatively about how they can raise money for their chosen charities. The episode is also notable for the tensions that arise between team members, as each person has their own vision for the artwork they are creating.
