Last week on The Celebrity Apprentice, Cyndi stepped up as Project Manager for the women for a second time as the teams were given the task of making over an up-and-coming country star. She got on everyone else's nerves, though, putting a target on her back. Her leadership proved successful and the women won, sending the men to the boardroom, where Bill Goldberg was fired.

Last night, the teams were switched (and understandably so, there were only two guys left). Summer, Cyndi, Curtis and Holly became the new Tenacity while Bret, Sharon and Maria became the new Rock Solid. Sharon was very happy to get off Tenacity while it seemed Curtis and Bret were relieved to have other people to depend on.

For this week's task, each team had to create and run a workout class at 24 Hour Fitness. They could rake in the cash from their celebrity friends, but they also had to get actual people to take the class with them.

Unfortunately for us, Cyndi Lauper disappeared for another engagement, this time with Lady Gaga. Did I mention it was with Lady Gaga? Yes, Cyndi Lauper was working with Lady Gaga. I don't think that name was ever not brought up in a segment. Holly was pissed that Cyndi was gone again and getting another "free pass," but that's what happens when you carry the show.

Summer and Curtis decide they want to call their workout class "Buns and Guns." And it gets worse with their banner: "Get ready to blast your buns!" It seemed to be turning into one giant sexual innuendo mess when Cyndi starts trying to bring in the donations from other celebrities. And Holly was manning…the fax machine? Their team's process really made no sense to me. The best part of their class was Cyndi's mom showing up trying to tone her buns. She gave it a great effort, but not the best thing to show on network television, let's be honest.

Over at Rock Solid, things were even more sexualized (if you thought that was even possible). Their workout was heavily based around the same basic thrusting move, which Bret enjoyed way too much. As evidenced by some of the names of the moves: "The Backstage Pass," "The Menage a Trois" and "The Tour Bus Thrust." Yeah, wow.

Bret was definitely creeping around the room, looking at as many lady parts as he possibly could. Now you'd think that people wouldn't buy into that, right? Enter a groupie who came to their workout class to tell Bret that he's on her "Top 5 Celebrity Pass" list (meaning she could sleep with him without her husband getting angry at him).

Despite their workout being incredibly sexual, Rock Solid won the $24,000 bonus from 24 Hour Fitness for having the best workout. However, they weren't a match for Holly Robinson Peete and her fundraising machine. That gave Tenacity the edge and the win, but according to Trump, there would be no loser tonight.

Wait…what? So no one is getting fired? I just sat through two hours of thrusting and buns-blasting for nothing? I mean, it probably good that Bret wasn't at risk of getting fired on the verge of his medical condition, but still, I wanted to see someone's head roll. I guess we'll have to wait until next week when (hopefully) all the stars are back and ready to compete.
