Vivica A. Fox basically fires herself as she admits that Leeza Gibbons and Geraldo Rivera deserve to be in the final two more than she does.

AceShowbiz - It's down to two on "The Celebrity Apprentice" season 7. Vivica A. Fox, Leeza Gibbons and Geraldo Rivera survived last week's eliminations, but they didn't leave the boardroom right away as Donald Trump immediately chose the final two.
Each of them pled their case, but Vivica surprisingly admitted that Leeza and Geraldo deserved to be in the final more than she did. "I've never lied to you, Mr. Trump," she said. "It hurts, but I'm an honest woman." Mr. Trump praised her for her honesty, but eventually said, "You did a fantastic job. Vivica, you're fired."
Leeza and Geraldo were then flown to Universal Resort for their final challenge, which was to film commercials and sell vacation packages. Just like the previous seasons, some eliminated contestants were brought back to assist the finalists, but in this season the two finalists didn't get the rights to pick their team and just accepted whoever the producers picked for them.
Kevin Jonas, Brandi Glanville and Johnny Damon joined Leeza's team, while Geraldo got Ian Ziering, Lorenzo Lamas and Vivica. Leeza quickly began to plan their family-friendly concept campaign and wanted Olivia Newton-John to sing "Magic" at their event. While she and Kevin worked together well, Brandi and Johnny were distracted. They rode rollercoasters instead of buying souvenir store props as they were asked to and returned empty-handed.
Geraldo, meanwhile, made peace with Ian and Lorenzo after he previously butted head with the two men. He planned a commercial starring himself as an investigative journalist and highlighting the Wizarding World of Harry Potter that is loved by parents just as much as their kids.
Lorenzo was chosen as director for the commercial, while Ian and Geraldo worked on the script. Lorenzo was shocked to find out that Geraldo changed the entire shot list without prior notice, and tension rose between the two men when the young actors who would star in the ad didn't come. Geraldo and Lorenzo blamed each other for the miscommunication.
The episode ended there and next week the show will return with a two-hour finale which will reveal the winner.
