  Piers Morgan and Trace Adkins battled it out for $250,000 for their charity and the title of the first Celebrity Apprentice. Their final task was to organize a charity event where they were judged on the amount of tickets sold to the event, money raised for their charity and how well they ran the event.
  
  The task started out rough for both contestants. Piers panicked when he wasn’t selling enough tickets, and Trace seemed to be dominating Piers in this area as he flew several country music stars in on a private jet, which he paid for out of his own pocket to ensure they arrived. However, Trace struggled a lot with the Backstreet Boys, his entertainers, because their list of demands was quite long, and Trace and his team felt many of the items on the Backstreet Boys’ list were unnecessary. Despite many of the demands being unnecessary, Trace went out of his way to make sure the Backstreet Boys were pleased so they’d perform. From black fingernail polish, a twisted knee and wheat grass juice, Trace couldn’t believe the drama from the Backstreet Boys.
  
  The pressure was heating up and beginning to take its toll on Trace, but the surprise visit from his wife and daughters was just the medicine to cure Trace’s stress. In fact, a tearful Trace expressed how the surprise visit reminded him why he was there, which was for his 6-year-old daughter who suffers from severe food allergies.
  
  Later, Piers dominated the auction with two $100,000 bids from the same supporter at the beginning. Then Piers introduced Simon Cowell who was on the phone. While on the phone with Simon, Piers asked Simon for help and earned himself another $100,000 for his charity! Trace thought this was a bit “distasteful” of Piers, but he admitted that he knew Piers would raise the most during the auction. He went on to say he knew his most successful part of the task would be the entertainment.
  
  Despite not being able to provide the Backstreet Boys with the wheat grass juice they requested, they came through for Trace with a wonderful and energizing performance!
  
  “They didn’t need any wheat grass juice at all,” Trace joked.
  
  Before Donald Trump announced the winner of Celebrity Apprentice live, he showed the footage where Piers and Trace fought for their charity in the boardroom. In the boardroom, Mr. Trump asked Trace about the demands from the Backstreet Boys. Trace said he did everything he could to accommodate them, but he was still worried that they wouldn’t come through when he couldn’t get them everything they had requested. Next, Mr. Trump turned to Piers and asked him what he would’ve done had he been in Trace’s shoes. Without hesitation, Piers stated he would have told the Backstreet Boys to shove the nail polish up their… you know what, which was no surprise coming from Piers Morgan. After that response, Mr. Trump told Piers if he had of had the Backstreet Boys and didn’t go to the lengths to please them as Trace did, then they might not have performed.
  
  Mr. Trump moved on, and the amount raised by both Piers and Trace was revealed. Piers raised $376,000 for the Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund, and Trace raised $64,000 for the Food Allergy & Anaphylaxis Network Charity. Although Piers was the clear winner for the most money raised, Trace won for the most tickets sold. (Trace sold $38,000 worth of tickets while Piers sold $12,000 worth.)
  
  Piers argued that even though Trace did better on ticket sales, overall he raised over $400,000 and that should be enough to win. Trace then accused Piers of being bad-mannered to his own guests, but Piers said he didn’t do such a thing. Mr. Trump cut in and said whether Piers is guilty or not, that’s his personality. A little while later, Trace did commend Piers for working with him to make the charity event a memorable one.
  
  In the end, Mr. Trump announced live, that aside from Piers’ “vicious” personality, he did raise the most money out of all the contestants. Therefore, Piers Morgan was given the title of Celebrity Apprentice and $250,000 for his charity.
