Episodes Episode 1: Selling Hot Dogs Airdate: January 3, 2008 Task scope: Each team had to sell hot dogs on the streets of New York City for as much money as possible. Hydra project manager: Stephen Baldwin Empresario project manager: Omarosa Judges: Donald Trump; Ivanka Trump; Donald Trump, Jr. Winning team: Hydra, with total sales of $52,286. Reasons for win: Hydra used Radio City as their location and used their celebrity status to drastically up-sell the hot dogs and Gene Simmons used his contacts to put up impressive numbers. Piers Morgan also came up with an idea whereby anyone who paid $100 or more for a hot dog would get to have their picture taken with one of the celebrities, encouraging passers-by to make more substantial donations. Losing team: Empresario, with total sales of $17,038.79. Reasons for loss: Empresario did not use their celebrity status to the extent they could have and chose sound business principles instead. Many hot dogs were sold for much lower prices than Hydra had, and their location (which was near Penn Station) was deemed awful by the Trumps. Sent to boardroom: Omarosa, Tiffany Fallon, and Carol Alt Fired: Tiffany Fallon – for being the least effective saleswoman on her team, playing the game low-key, and for holding out on her contacts. While Omarosa led the team to failure after she forbid her teammates to use their celebrity status and Carol Alt was responsible for picking their bad location, Trump was nonetheless impressed with their hard work, and he did not like that Tiffany (a Playboy Playmate) did not call Hugh Hefner to help with the task. Tiffany stated that she was waiting for a more opportune event to use his services, but Trump ultimately fired her for it. Notes: This is the first time the winning team as a whole watched the losing team in the boardroom. Prior to this season, only the project manager was allowed to do this. This is the first season where the firing process started immediately after the results are revealed. Usually the winning team would be given a reward for their victory prior to the start of the boardroom, but the rewards were dropped from the show at the start of this season. Tito Ortiz brought his girlfriend Jenna Jameson to help with their task. Gene Simmons called in many of his contacts to donate money, including fellow Kiss
