Cheryl Tiegs First Fired From New Season Of Celebrity Apprentice

By Adam S. Levy - Radar Staff Writer
Supermodel Cheryl Tiegs was the first famous face ousted from the the fifth season of Celebrity Apprentice Sunday, and we’ve got all the details for you right here on RadarOnline.com.
The challenge on Sunday’s episode was that the men’s team, Team Unanimous, and women’s team, Team Forte, had to open up their own sandwich shops in Manhattan. The men's team had a carnival theme while the women’s had a red carpet motif.
Former catwalk crawler Cheryl Tiegs struggled in the initial challenge, as her inexperience using an industrial slicker to grind out slices of cheese made her look inept.
In the end, the men’s team -- buoyed by a $305,000 donation from a pal of team leader Paul Teutal (American Chopper) -- defeated the fairer sex by a tote of $332,120 to $126,962.

Trump’s final choice on Sunday’s episode boiled down to firing either Tiegs, 64, team leader Patricia Velasquez, 41, or reality star Victoria Gotti, 49.

Tiegs acknowledged her earlier struggles and said that she wasn’t sure if the fast-paced, shark tank environment of The Donald’s reality show was something she’d be able to survive over the long haul.
And with that, Trump told her, “You’re fired.”

She's never had to work hard for anything in her life, so I wasn't surprised when she threw in the towel in front of Donald Trump, saying she didn't have it in her to participate on the show any longer! Hahahaha. One lame challenge and she folds.

Cheryl Tiegs wants everyone to believe that she's never had any sort of plastic surgery at AGE 60+. Give me a break! Stop lying, Cheryl. Everyone can see you've done ALOT so you are only fooling yourself and looking like a liar.

Cheryl Tiegs is lazy and dishonest. She's not accustomed to hard work and leadership. She's more used to running around beaches in bikinis. Her fake anti-aging serum got forced off the market by the gov't for making false claims.

Why do these stars ruin their faces. The old Cheryl with wrinkles would have looked a hundred times better than the one we saw last night. Victoria looked horrible and phony and much older than her real age.

She sure did look rough last nite, like she just woke up & decided to be a part of the show after rolling out of bed & throwing on a dress that was too small. Her face was RIDICULOUS looking. Woah, she used to be beautiful. What happened?

Why would anyone subject themselves to Donald Trumps loud mouth. These women do not need to be on that show, they look like idiots sitting there letting donald act like he's the boss.

Victoria Gotti is ONLY 49? What??!!! Her and Cheryl look around the same age! What is with Aubrey's hair? It looked like a huge helmet, I didn't know who she was at first! Teresa is mighty quiet, but we'll see. Looking forward to Lampanelli....

I don't think she's into hard work that much. Read an article in People years ago about her. After she gave birth to twins, she pretty much left the rearing to her husband and the nanny.
