Go To

Trace Adkins

  • Grumpy Old Man: Try and name every moment during this season when Trace smiled, it wont take long

Penn Jillete

Lil Jon

Lisa Rinna

  • Huge Guy, Tiny Girl: The Tiny Girl, with Penn
  • My Greatest Second Chance: In her first appearance on the show, she only made it to week two before getting fired. Here, she actually makes it to the final four, and proves the third-highest fundraiser of the season.

Marilu Henner

  • Deadpan Snarker: Marilu is very witty and snarky most of the time
  • My Greatest Second Chance: While actually one of the more competent female contestants in her first appearance on the show, her track record was simply dreadful, losing 7 out of 8 tasks, losing twice as project manager and raising no money for her charity. This time around she did much better, winning as project manager, having one of the better task records and getting through to the final regular task.

Gary Busey

  • Cloud Cuckoo Lander: BIG TIME. From accusing Lisa of farting to making abbreviations of random words, almost nothing he said or did made any sense.

Brande Roderick

  • Honor Before Reason: Refused to bring back Lil Jon despite his choosing what turned out to be a losing theme for the South Africa task. It probably wouldn't have saved her from being fired, but not even bringing him back guaranteed her departure.
  • Horrible Judge of Character: Thought that Omarosa was the person to trust to count the team's funds in the first task. While this didn't affect the outcome of the task, Trump and Piers Morgan pointed out the stupidity of assigning this task to probably the most notoriously cut-throat Apprentice candidate in history.

Stephen Baldwin

  • Butt-Monkey: The other contestants are CONSTANTLY making fun of him

Dennis Rodman

  • Elimination Houdini: Much like his first season, he constantly got brought back to the boardroom, but he kept surviving.
  • The Load: Even he admitted that he was borderline useless in tasks
  • My Greatest Second Chance: He did utterly dreadful in his first season. This time he was noticeably a much better player, Trump even called him "the comeback of the year"

Omarosa

  • Arch-Enemy: Her feud with Piers Morgan was still in effect from the very start of the season, and she quickly turned into this for Claudia Jordan and especially La Toya Jackson as well.
  • Cheaters Never Prosper: Added $2,000 of her own money to the sales she brought in on what turned out to be her final task. In a subversion of the trope, Trump actually didn't know she'd done this, but it still didn't help Omarosa, as Trump pointed out that her earning slightly more money than Dennis didn't cancel out her being vastly more disruptive than him.
  • Genre Blind: For someone who's appeared in more Apprentice seasons than anyone else, she should have known that Trump never fires the top earner in a fundraising task, and that her attempt to get Lil Jon fired after the fifth task was doomed from the start.
  • The Friend Nobody Likes: Actually averted this at first, as most of her team-mates stuck up for her against Piers Morgan's criticisms in the first boardroom of the season, and everyone tried their hardest to win for her when she project-managed the second task. However, her actions on the third task alienated virtually everybody on the team.
  • The Only One Allowed to Defeat You: Wanted to be this to Bret.

Claudia Jordan

  • History Repeats: Got fired after losing as project manager on the fourth task, while failing to raise any funds for her charity. Which is exactly what happened when she appeared in Celebrity Apprentice 2.
  • Medal of Dishonor: The only person from this season not to have raised any funds from either of her appearances on the show.
  • What Were You Thinking?: Dennis Rodman gave her this reaction after she decided to set up the team's hair salon outside of the glass truck the team was provided with.

La Toya Jackson

  • Accidental Misnaming: The already-poor relationship between her and Omarosa wasn't helped by her repeatedly referring to Omarosa's late fiancé, Michael Clarke Duncan, as "Michael Duncan Clarke."
  • Arch-Enemy: With Omarosa. Even at the finale it is clear they still hate each other.
  • Beware the Quiet Ones: La Toya is usually very soft spoken and quiet, but when she does get riled up, you're in for a world of hurt.
  • What Were You Thinking?: Trump's and Ivanka's reaction after she decided against bringing back Omarosa in the third week. Trump pointed out that even if he did like Omarosa on a personal level, it was an incredibly stupid move for her to bring back Dennis, who wasn't directly responsible for the loss, and Brande, who had performed very well in the task.

Dee Snider

  • How the Mighty Have Fallen: Was one of the better performers in his first appearance on the show, but this time around he was unremarkable in the first task, and then crashed and burned while project managing the second task.
  • Wrong Genre Savvy: Remembered that the teams had lost tasks in his original season for failing to properly emphasise the celebrities, and so over-compensated on the Universal Studios task and emphasised the celebrities to the exclusion of anything else. The executives quickly pointed out that the theme park's main target audience is children, and they wouldn't know or care about any of the celebrities in their display.

Bret Michaels

  • How the Mighty Have Fallen: Won his original season, but was the first to be fired this time. It's heavily implied that it's because Trump wanted him to be a judge instead of a contestant, and he actually did show up as a judge twice later in the season.
