After a lackluster showing during Sunday’s episode of Celebrity Apprentice, Paul Teutul Sr. took a bullet for Team Unanimous after mismanaging the Puppet Up! task.

This week the teams created two original puppet characters and took part in an improvisational comedy sketch for the Stuffed and Unstrung event sponsored by The Jim Henson Company.

Lisa Lampanelli, Forte’s project manager, was strongly supported by Clay Aiken and Penn Jillette. Trump favorite Dayana Mendoza was once again left twisting in the wind without much to do. Lisa spent a good deal of time bawling her eyes out and hurling f-laced expletives at the former Miss Universe.

The Orange County Chopper co-founder was suffering from a bad back throughout the task and let Arsenio Hall, Teresa Giudice and Aubrey O’Day run with the project. We’re guessing he must have popped some pain killers because he appeared to be in a stupor throughout the task.

For the second week in a row Aubrey successfully reigned in her creativity and concentrated on being a team player. While it made for a more harmonious experience it could well have been the reason they lost. Her new strategy involves playing nice and doing just enough to keep her in the competition whether her team wins or loses.

In the end the improv puppeteering skills of Clay and Lisa cinched their win and $20,000 for Lampanelli’s charity.

Back in the boardroom Paul Sr. was no match for Aubrey O’Day, who easily extricated herself from any fault for the failed task. Reality celeb Giudice relied on the former Danity Kane singer to plead her case as well. Donald Trump took O’Day’s advice and fired Paul Teutul Sr.

It still looks like the final competition will pit O’Day and Aiken unless one of them seriously messes up in the next few weeks.
