Who Won Celebrity Apprentice 2009?

The 2009 season of Celebrity Apprentice is in the books, and the winner is …
Joan Rivers!
Joan Rivers beat out Annie Duke to win season 8 of The Apprentice (season two of the Celebrity Apprentice version).
Joan Rivers ending up raising $526,546 for her charity God’s Love We Deliver, while Annie Duke raised $730,725 for her charity Refugees International. Duke actually outraised Rivers in the final challenge by a margin of over $300k, making Donald Trump decision to make Joan Rivers the winner a puzzling one. A juicy fact related to that is that Trump’s has family members involved with Joan Rivers’ charity, so it’s possible something was up there. But it’s Donald Trump, so who knows.
Do you think Joan Rivers deserved to win Celebrity Apprentice?

Joan Rivers was great and Anne Duke did nothing but complain.
Anne did raise more money, however it was not the only mark to be measured.
Mr. Trump you made the correct decision.
I loved the show and both of your children are terrific!
Thank you for a great season.

This was a joke, Rivers won only because she was friends with Trump. Annie outplayed Rivers by a mile, this was clearly all for publicity, not for charity, who raised the most money? yep, Annie. Rivers did not show any class, was foul and just outright horrible. Role Model? not to my children she’s not!!! What an embaressment! I will not watch next year, I have fired myself from the show!!!
