Her words were hollow comfort for the players who had been cheated out of their funds I’m horrified at the lengths to which these people went to try to cover up their actions, and I am very sorry that I ever agreed to work with them.” In a statement, she said: “Knowing what I know today, I would have never encouraged anyone to play on the UltimateBet site under that management.

After all, she had raised substantially more money for charity both over the course of the thirteen episodes and in the finale itself. Duke went into the final boardroom meeting confident that she had done enough to win. They also had to help promote Kodak as the sponsor of the event. In the final, both contestants were tasked with organizing a VIP party and silent auction fundraiser for their respective charities. During the show, the legendary comedienne said Duke was a duplicitous and conniving operator, calling her “worse than Hitler” and adding later that “…poker players are trash, darling! Trash!” Thirteen years ago, I was watching the “The Celebrity Apprentice” Season 2 finale, rooting for Annie Duke to triumph over Joan Rivers who had been classless, graceless, and downright vicious towards the poker community, with whom I felt a growing affinity. …poker players are trash, darling! Trash!” It was a stupid decision on a TV show with an incredibly stupid premise: Donald Trump is a business genius so whoever he thinks is most deserving must be most deserving.
