- The men and women are given the task of writing a children's book and then performing it in front of 4 and 5 year olds. A member from the losing team is fired.
- Task scope: Create a children's book and perform it to a group consisting of four to five year olds. The story must also revolve around at least one team member. The teams will be judged based on three criteria: originality, age appropriateness, and creativity.
Backbone project manager: Meat Loaf
A.S.A.P. project manager: Lisa Rinna
Result: A.S.A.P came up with a story revolving around La Toya Jackson about a lion who couldn't roar. Backbone came up with a story based on Lil Jon about him becoming a superhero.
Judges: Donald Trump; Eric Trump; Donald Trump, Jr.
Winning team: Backbone
Reasons for win: John Rich and Mark McGrath were able to effectively organize their book and performance, and despite an early setback when Gary Busey and Jose Canseco got lost on their way to the venue, guest judge Holly Robinson Peete thought their concept was very original, age appropriate and entertaining. Meat Loaf won $20,000 for his charity. In addition, Trump told him that Backbone's story would be published as an eBook on Amazon.com, and any profits would also go to the charity.
Losing team: A.S.A.P.
Reasons for loss: Even though they gave a stellar performance on stage and had showcased their actual book to the audience (unlike Backbone), Holly Robinson Peete thought that their theme of "being yourself" was too sophisticated for children. In addition, the font on each page in the book was way too small for children (and even some of the adults) to read.
Sent to boardroom: Lisa Rinna, Star Jones, Dionne Warwick
Fired: Lisa Rinna - for having poor leadership skills, inability to control her team, losing the respect of her entire team, and for acknowledging that she crumbled under the pressure.
