Vivica admitted Leeza was a stronger competitor than her in the tasks, which shocked Leeza. Vivica told Trump that Leeza was more deserving of being a finalist because of her excellent leadership qualities and personality.
Trump therefore admired Vivica for her honesty but fired her. Vivica was still thrilled because she had won $50,000 for her charity Best Buddies.
Geraldo and Leeza then embarked on the season's final task with the hope of becoming the next Celebrity Apprentice.
For the task, both individuals were required to produce a commercial and sell vacation packages for Universal Orlando Resort. After completing the task, they'd fly back to NYC and participate in a red carpet event. Universal executives would judge them at the party on creativity, brand messaging, money raised from selling vacation packages, and overall presentation.
The winner would receive $250,000 for his or her charity. It will come down to "Leeza's Care Connection" vs. Geraldo's "Life's Work" charity.
Once Geraldo and Leeza arrived in Orlando, they were each given a team of previously-eliminated The Celebrity Apprentice contestants to work with from the season.
Leeza's teammates were Kevin Jonas, Johnny Damon and Brandi Glanville. Johnny and Brandi were her friends, and although Kevin was ousted from the series early on, she was excited to utilize his set of skills. He'd be her "secret weapon."
Geraldo was given the following contestants: Ian Ziering, Lorenzo Lamas and Vivica. Ian was a surprise since the pair had butted heads for most of the season, but Geraldo knew he was an intelligent, hard-working guy who might be an asset to him.
The episode concluded with both teams working hard on the task and experiencing some bumps along the way. The Celebrity Apprentice's seventh-season finale will air on Monday, February 16.
