The Apprentice is now in its 12th overall season, and Season 12 is actually the 5th Celebrity Apprentice. In the first 3 weeks of the competition, Cherly Tiegs, Victoria Gotti and George Takei have been fired by Donald Trump.
After viewing the first 3 weeks, it is still hard to pinpoint a super-strong favorite. However, there are some celebrities that appear to be establishing a strong foothold for making a run for the Celebrity Apprentice title.
In my personal observation without looking up any kind of spoilers, Penn Jillette, Aubrey O’Day, Adam Carolla, Paul Teutul, Sr. and Lisa Lampanelli seem to be way ahead of the pack. Of course, it is doubtful that those exact 5 will make it to the real final 5 contestants. But these are the players that have shown the skills to lead and/or come up with successful ideas during the challenges.
However, I have read spoilers saying that Arsenio Hall and Clay Aiken make the finals of this 12th Apprentice season. Certainly, in the first 3 weeks, I would never have guessed this, as Arsenio came pretty close to getting fired tonight, and Clay has worked hard but has not seemed to take a leadership or big idea role as of yet.
While sportsbooks do place winning odds on reality TV shows like American Idol, you don’t generally see betting odds listed for Celebrity Apprentice. That is because there are always leaks that would cause bettors to storm the books with sure bets. To avoid that, sportsbooks just don’t take action The Apprentice. Thus, there are no kind of official odds on the winner.
Check back here later to see who wins the 5th Celebrity Apprentice. Based on the past, the spoilers are usually correct. Thus, expect to see Clay Aiken and Arsenio Hall in the finals. Of those two, I’d give Clay the better odds of winning unless there is a situation where Arsenio spanks him hard in the fundraising portion of the show. Comedians have never won, and while Arsenio likely has the ability to be serious, he is probably going to be less focused as a leader than Clay due to Clay’s training in education.
