Trace Adkins One of Two Finalists on Celebrity Apprentice
Trace Adkins' integrity and passion for his charity was
enough to qualify him as one of the two finalists in this
season of the TV reality series, The Celebrity Apprentice.
With four finalists remaining when Thursday night's episode
began, Donald Trump fired model Carol Alt and boxer Lennox
Lewis to leave Adkins and British media personality Piers
Morgan as the last contestants standing. Adkins chose Lewis
and actress Marilu Henner to be on his team to determine
the decor and entertainment for a charity event. One of
Adkins' tasks was to fulfill requests made by the event's
musical headliners -- the Backstreet Boys. Adkins is
appearing on the show to raise money for his charity of
choice, the Food Allergy & Anaphylaxis Network. This
season's winner will be announced live on a live, two-hour
broadcast of The Celebrity Apprentice airing Thursday
(March 27) on NBC.
