The teams are selling wedding dresses to raise money. Weddings are a $40 billion per year business and this fundraiser is willing to capitalize. The objective is to make as much money as possible with a pop-up wedding dress boutique. They can charge whatever they want for the dresses and sell them to anyone they please. By the way, the boutiques are neighbors... as in directly beside each other. Talk about competition. Whoever raises the most money wins and gets both teams monies. Donald decides to switch up the teams... Team Vortex is now: Vivvica, Shawn, Kate Geraldo, Lorenzo and Sig. Team Infinity is now: Johnny, Terrell, Ian, Brandi, Kenya and Leeza.
Team managers for this fundraiser are Geraldo and Ian. Geraldo immediately exclaims that his motivator is to beat Ian.
Kate brings in celebrity hair stylists to do "wedding hair" for the customers while Ian brings in his fellow Chippendales to sex up the ladies while they shop. Each person seems to be bringing in tons of money but Geraldo gets a $99,000 check but Ian gets a $165,000 check. The two teams together raised almost $600,000 with only a $2500 difference. Trump is willing to give the project managers a chance to keep their money... so they can either go for broke or go for the whole deal.
Ian's team raised $292,547 while Geraldo's team raised $294,780... Team Vortex wins and the managers decide to keep their own money. Donald then rounds each of their totals up to $300,000.
Because Ian felt the women really stepped up in this fundraiser the men are called back into the boardroom by default. Terrell brought in the least amount of money and may have cost them the challenge due to his reluctance to keep up with his potential donors.
::SPOILER ALERT:: Terrell is FIRED.
