Apprentice #3

The third episode of The Celebrity Apprentice, which includes Marlee Matlin as a contestant, aired Sunday night. One of the more remarkable moments in the show came when Gary Busey revealed that the deaf actress told him he had a hearing impairment and recommended going to her doctor. Busey found out he had lost some 60% of his hearing. Busey told host Donald Trump:
"Marlee Matlin brought me a miracle last Saturday. She sent me to see her doctor -- the head of The Hearing Foundation -- at the Marriott Hotel in Times Square. He took 40 minutes to make me two hearing aids that go in the canals of my ears."
Each team (the contestants are divided by men and women) was given two RV's and a $5000 budget to come up with an outdoor camping experience. At the end of the episode, Trump fired former super model Niki Taylor from the NBC show. She supervised the woman's losing effort in the contest.
