According to the Associated Press, Rivers' fundraiser gala was a better success than Duke's, cinching the win for Rivers and her chosen charity, God's Love We Deliver. The charity, which brings meals to the seriously ill who are home-bound, will receive $250,000.
The three-hour finale showed Duke and Rivers in a live boardroom session at Manhattan's Museum of Natural History. There they were given the verdict and host, Donald Trump, uttered the infamous line, "You're fired!"
Duke and Rivers exchanged barbs throughout the series, so it was no surprise when the two continued to hurl insults at one another during the finale.
The two women were the last of 16 celebrities vying for the title of Celebrity Apprentice. This was the show's eighth season, and it'll be back next year for a ninth one.
Many Twitterers were disappointed by the results, though a few were pleased with Rivers' win:
SMILEZ0713 still in shock that annie duke lost celebrity apprentice!!!!
dsforest I'm so pissed that Joan Rivers won the celebrity apprentice. This was a sympathies vote for an old lady, not a business decision.
semperfifi Disappointed Annie Duke didn't win Celebrity Apprentice. But not in the least surprised.
