Matlin in Reality Show Final

Marlee Matlin made it to the final episode of Celebrity Apprentice. During last night's episode, Atlanta rap star Lil Jon and singer Meat Loaf were sent home, leaving Matlin and country singer John Rich to battle it out for victory. Matlin's prospects look promising, she raised $1 million this season, the most money ever during the show. The challenge last night was to create a retro campaign for 7 Up cola. Rich went with the 1980s, using the band Def Leppard while Matlin chose to look to the 1970s and employ the Harlem Globetrotters. They each had to film a commercial, create an ad campaign and organize a challenge. Star Jones, Meat Loaf, and Richard Hatch came back to work for Matlin’s team, while Rich got Mark McGrath, Lil Jon and LaToya Jackson. Rich got his friend Dee Snider of Twisted Sister involved while Matlin located the 1970s spokesman Geoffrey Holder to appear in her ad but he had to back out at the last minute. The program will conclude next Sunday with the crowning of a new champion.
