American Chopper: Senior vs. Junior: Change of Heart

THE PAUL TEUTUL SENIOR IMAGE MAKEOVER CONTINUES!

Last week on American Chopper:

Yesterday on The Celebrity Apprentice:

Sorry, it won’t play, just a screen cap.

WOW! What a funny guy! What a sense of humor! And I watched him all season, he is so nice to work with, Donald Trump loves him, and he really loves his sons!

Yeah, had  you never seen him before that is what you might think. So before we get into tonight’s show, let’s take a look at the real Paul Teutul Senior.

CHANGE OF HEART Part 1
PJD starts a build for Skill Tools while OCC begins a bike based on an Italian sports car. Then Junior makes a huge decision that could finally end his estrangement from Senior once and for all.

OCC has another anonymous client. The ugly Arabian Horse bike was for an anonymous client too. Jason explains that it is for a very high-profile person. Maybe yes maybe no. Can you prove this isn’t just some bike that Discovery is paying for? Plus Senior talked about how much Jason has improved. They are really trying to sell that guy to the fans. “He actually did measurements.” Wow.

PJD is building a bike for Skill tools 75th anniversary. They brought in, among other things, the original skill “worm drive” saw they first started with.  Amazingly, they design it without a computer and even more amazing, it is a team effort, not just what on Monkey Boy says goes.

Paulie is upset that his father thinks Paulie wants a business relationship. As he says, why would he want that? Been there, done that, failed miserably. Pretty much, he says, he just wants to go down to OCC and clear the air and figure out what’s what. “I’ve had it up to here, I really have, I can’t do this back and forth.”

After the commercial break OCC is building their anonymous donor bike and Jason (who misspelled his own name last week) is “working” on the bike. By working I mean being a fool and hanging off the frame. And Paulie has not walked in the front door.

Is he at PJD? He’s not on camera. Is he on his way to OCC? Is he- oh, wait, forget it, there he is.

Paulie confers with his consigliere Vinnie and they decide that the cameras have to be there so there is no chance of misinterpretation. He also says he is sick of the whole Senior vs. Junior thing which makes you wonder if he wants them to rename the show.

Back at OCC rick is making a seat panel. Is Paulie about to walk in? Is he on his way? Is he outside the door? The suspense is killing me.

Nope, he doesn’t show.

9:35. No invasion of OCC yet. but we do get a HILARIOUS prank where they put ink on some goggles and get a guy to wear it so he gets circles on his face. HA HA HA!

We’re back at OCC. Mike is working on a wheel. Is Paulie lurking around? Is the door going to fly open and Paulie swoop in?

No.

9:40. Paulie is still at PJD. All talk no action? No, the show is edited like crap, all tease, no show.

9:46. Paulie is working on the Skill bike. Who does he think he is? GO TO OCC! That’s what we want to see!

9:50 back at OCC. C’mon Paulie! You still have a few minutes left! 9:51, 9:52…

9:54. Paulie drivers right over to… Mikey’s “art” gallery. Why? To talk again about seeing his father. SHUT UP AND GO ALREADY!

10:02. Paulie walks right in and …no, he calls Senior and makes an appointment.

I give up. To be continued.

BTW, the show goes to 10:04 tonight. Wonderful.

CHANGE OF HEART PART 2 May 21, 2012
OCC finishes the Italian sports car bike and PJD unveils the Skil Bike. Then, Mikey leaves the show once and for all, and Junior goes to OCC to confront Senior face to face.

The Celebrity Apprentice: Week Thirteen

13 May

May 13, 2012

This is it. One more will be fired when the show opens and the remaining two will fight it out.

Clay. Aubrey. Arsenio.

The show starts right were it ended last week. Trump is grilling the final three and is getting ready to fire one of them. It looks like Arsenio might go (he’s getting a lot of heat for his outburst and language) but by now I give up trying to predict this.

OMG! Aubrey was fired!!!!!!!!!!!! YES!!!!!!! OH HAPPY DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here we go!

CLAY AIKEN VS. ARSENIO HALL!

Trump: “Here you are, the final two.”
Clay: “I’m having a little deja vu.” LOL!

Score one for the good guys!

The next thing, aside from the task, is to see which contestants come back. I have three spoilers.

Spoiler #1: Lou Ferrigno is not coming back. That was confirmed by
Spoiler #2: Dee Snyder is coming back. He was on a radio show here in NYC where he said he’d be back. “They bring back the good contestants, that’s why Lou Ferrigno won’t be there.”
Spoiler #3: Not that big a spoiler, I took this from the commercial for the show. (BTW, don’t try to play it, it is only a screen cap.)

Yeah, you can bet that’ll get some play on the American Chopper Weekly Rundown tomorrow night.

And so will this:

You really need to be here tomorrow night.

But back to the show!

THE TASK: Produce, host, star in, and sell tickets to a celebrity charity event.
THE NEW TEAMS:
CLAY: Penn, Debbie, Dee, Aubrey
ARSENIO: Adam, Lisa, Paul Sr., Teresa

Aubrey was picked last. “Haters are hating once again,” she convinced herself.

Clay got the three singers, not a bad deal for a task centered around entertainment.

Arsenio is doing and 80’s theme, as in we left all this old 80’s stuff behind, what about HIV? Not a bad idea, but what about the entertainment? Clay seems to have that cornered.

On the other hand he has to work with Penn. Clay chose him to show that he could work with anyone, even someone he fought with. Not a bad idea, but Penn is being Mr. Contrary again.

So who did not come back? Lou Ferrigno, George Takei, Cheryl Tiegs, Dayana Mendoza, Tia Carrere, Patricia Velasquez, Michael Andretti, and Victoria Gotti, thank goodness. And do you miss any of them?

On the other hand, Aubrey is being Aubrey. You know what I mean. she has these ideas that for some reason no one tells her they suck. They just go along with her.

Meanwhile, as Team Arsenio was shooting their 80’s video, Team Clay was having trouble finding a spot to shoot their video. They needed a place with a lot of grass for kids to play. Hmmm, New York City, lots of grass… Central Park anyone? Seems so obvious to me. However, they found a patch of grass in a housing project and shot the video.

On Arsenio’s side, they plan to put Magic Johnson in the video but they are having trouble getting it set up.

Meanwhile, Aubrey’s jealousy of Debbie boils back up. Say what you will about Debbie’s career, we all know Aubrey will never reach Debbie’s level. That may be sad but it is true. Meanwhile, it was Debbie’s turn to argue with Clay. Clay, as he said had to make the decisions. After all, he is the only one on the chopping block. Debbie has a big role this week. She got her cousin to do a mural for Clay and all Clay wants is to see a sketch. Debbie is asking for him to trust her. OK, but this is the finale! Debbie can’t get fired in the boardroom, he HAS TO have the final decision.

On the strange side, Lisa called Clay to tell him she’d be making a contribution to his charity. Why? To be nice? Maybe, but she is on the other side. What if Clay raises a hair more than Arsenio? It would be her money that put him over!

And when the Magic Johnson video finally arrives, it is lousy.

TO BE CONCLUDED NEXT WEEK!
