Following the firing of her daughter, Melissa, Joan Rivers went on a tear and lashed out at poker pro Annie Duke on Sunday night's Celebrity Apprentice.
Rivers not only went off on Duke but also called all poker players "beyond white trash".
"I've seen you people at the tables in Vegas," Rivers said to Duke, referencing her poker playing community. "None of you have last names."
Melissa Rivers also exploded after being fired. She accused team members Duke and Brandy Roderick of conspiring against her. The two seemed to shun Melissa throughout the task.
After Joan Rivers referred to Annie Duke as "Hitler" last week, she made several comments once again this week comparing the poker pro to a Nazi. At the end of the show, Rivers called Annie a "Nazi" to her face and Brandy a "Nazi follower". She also called Brandy "dumb".
While much of Melissa's "end of show" rant was bleeped out, she was heard referring to Duke and Roderick as "whores".
"I am glued to my television set every Sunday night for two hours," says Payton O'Brien of Gambling911.com. "This is the best season of Apprentice since the first year."
Jim Kramer continued to get attacked: First by John Stewart, now by Joan Rivers. He was guesting on this week's Celebrity Apprentice and said he believed Melissa should be fired.
"In my opinion, he's a slime bag and a liar. Plus he can't pick stock!" Rivers posted on her Twitter page this past week.
The Apprentice Celebrity begins 9 pm EST Sundays. It is a two hour show.
