 The guys waited anxiously in the suite and discussed who might not make it back. Jessie had no doubts. She thought that if Omarosa didn't get fired, she would question what this whole competition is all about. When Heidi and Omarosa emerged through the door, Tammy couldn't maintain a poker face.  Her shock at seeing Omarosa was obvious - even to Omarosa! Jessie, Ereka and Bill reacted in stunned silence. Omarosa thought it was valuable to see the shock and awe she inspired in her team members upon her return. Even though Heidi survived her brush with the axe, she was stressed out.
 More confident than ever, Omarosa announced that she was ready to step up and be Project Manager of Protégé. She not only predicted a win, but said that when she pulled off the victory, she'd seal her fate for the entire game. Jessie thought that if the team loses, it would be a good way to reveal Omarosa's flaws. Meanwhile, Versacorp gave Bill the chance to lead since he'd never been Project Manager. Even though they all seemed excited, Heidi declared that they'd have to win - there was no other option.
 Donald summoned the two teams to the Wollman Ice-Skating Rink - one of Manhattan's biggest tourist attractions. But, according to Donald, it wasn't always that way. He explained that the city had spent 7 years and 21 million dollars in a failed attempt to finish the rink. Tired of seeing the waste, Donald stepped in and got the job done in 3 months and for less than 2 million dollars. Donald said this was his proudest accomplishment because it was about giving back.  He continued, saying that now the teams would have their chance to give back through an auction at Sotheby's for the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation. Donald laid out the task: Each team would have five celebrities to work with. Teams would create a personal experience with each celebrity to be auctioned off. The team that raised the most money would be the winner.
 Versacorp, led by Bill, would work with Regis Philbin (of "Live with Regis and Kelly"), Rocco DiSpirito (of NBC's "The Restaurant" fame), Carson Daly ("Last Call with Carson Daly"), Tiki Barber (NY Giants) and Ed Bernero (An Executive Producer of "Third Watch").  While Protégé, with Omarosa at the helm, would work with Russell Simmons (Hip Hop producer; co-founder of Baby Phat), Kate White (Editor of Cosmopolitan Magazine), Nicole Miller (Fashion Designer), The Fab Five (the entire cast of "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy") and Isaac Mizrahi (Fashion Designer).
