24 May, 2010

Bret Michaels beats out Holly Robinson Peete on Celebrity Apprentice.

After a stint of hospitalizations and life threatening conditions, Bret Michaels was crowned the winner on "Celebrity Apprentice" this past weekend. Michaels was up against Holly Robinson Peete who displayed major leadership ability and competition in challenging situations. He was definitely up against a good competitor.

It all came down to the last challenge where Trump required both Michaels and Peete to create a new Snapple drink. Michaels' Trop-A-Rocka Blend beat out Peete's Compassionberry Tea. Trump voiced the words "hired" to Michaels following the final challenge.

As the winner of "Celebrity Apprentice", Michaels earned $250,000 for the American Diabetes Association. Michaels was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes when he was six-years-old after he fell ill and was in the hospital for three weeks.

The same amount was awarded to Holly Robinson Peete for her strong work ethics and prowess in the challenges she was faced with. Her $250,000 will go towards her and husband, Rodney Peete's, HollyRod Foundation which supports those suffering from autism.
