—Celebrity Apprentice 2, Episode 5, Rewind
…Tionne “T-boz” Watkins - Project Manager!

On episode 5 of Celebrity Apprentice 2 (Airdate: March 29, 2009)—Our very own Tionne was Project Manager, and yes!…Her team (Athena) won the task. Tionne gained $20,000 for the Sickle Cell Foundation of Georgia. Yes, a mere $20,000—Come on Donald, these non-sales challenges should be worth more. On the opposing team (KUTO), was Dennis Rodman as the Project Manager, with most of the focus being on his drinking problem.

The scope of the task was to run a hotel—specifically five rooms at The Regency, A Loews Hotel in New York, NY. T-boz quickly stepped up to the task, with her team fully behind her… “Team ATHENA selected Tionne “T-Boz” Watkins as Project Manager and she stepped up with great organizational skills and exceptional people skills. She quickly divided the tasks among the women. Everyone put on a housekeeping uniform and tore into the cleaning and prep of their five rooms. Next she utilized the talents and connections of Joan Rivers placing her in the concierge position” (TVgrapevine.com).

The moment of the episode hands down had to be Brandi and Tionne doing Turn-down service. T-boz in a maid’s outfit was priceless, and we did see some of the “real” Tionne surface, with her joking around. In the end, Athena scored 91% and Kotu 86%. In the board room, the women had absolutely nothing negative to say about Tionne. Like we didn’t already know Tionne has her shit together—LOL.

T-boz gave the following recap on Boz-Bizz.com…
Recap of Episode 5
Posted on Mar 29 2009 by T-Boz
Well, well, well… I was the PM on this weeks episode and needless to say it went really well. I am very honored to have done that type of task. It was very humbling. SO now to the behind the scene goodies. We had to be up at 5 a.m. and yes Dennis Rodman got an early start on the Vodka and cranberry mix. But honestly he is a brilliant man when it comes to marketing and so forth if his judgement isn’t clouded with alcohol. Anywho I am happy to know that Annie, Melissa, and Joan had nothing negative to say about me and I know they will tell exactly how they feel. So that was a relief. For those who didn’t read the Twitter blog. I spoke on how hard my team worked. Seriously I need to become a producer at NBC because I wish you all could see how we scrubbed toilets, made beds etc… I had to go to the maids quarters and you had to call down and order stuff for the rooms, for instance if their were not enough pillows on the beds, you had to call down and request them to be brought up. If the sink or bath tub didn’t work, I had to call down to have the repairman come fix it before I let a guest check in. I made sure everyone knew their roles so that their would be no confusion. I typed and gave everyone a copy of the rules and regulations. We all had phones that we communicated on so that we could all be on the same page. They didn’t show how Brandie and I had to run 3 blocks to get that damn dog some dog food, when I know the dog had some food already because I saw it when I was cleaning the room the day before. They just created problems and dirt to make our jobs harder, then they don’t show how hard you really work. But all in all I vow to this day to respect everyone’s job no matter how big or small because a lot of people work their a** off and get no rewards for what they do. Cleaning up after strangers is WAY harder than cleaning up after yourself and loved ones. And last but not least it was a pleasure to run the Loew’s Hotel and I learned a lot about great customer service and it was one of the best tasks on the show for me. So I thank everyone involved and I appreciate the experience. Thank you Team Athena it was a pleasure to work with you all.
