Gary Busey was fired on Sunday night’s episode of Celebrity Apprentice. Busey was the project manager for the men’s team. The actor was raising funds for the Center for Head Injury Services, a Maryland Heights-based charity.
Busey frustrated his teammates on the Sunday night episode. Men’s team member John Rich accused Busey of calling him “boy.” In the boardroom, Busey defended himself by saying he actually called Rich “ka-boy,” as in “cowboy.”
The women’s team won the evening. Hope Dworaczyk, a former Playboy Playmate of the Year, won $20,000 for Best Buddies. Omaha Steaks, the company the night’s challenge focused on, will also donate funds to the organization.
In the board room, Lil’ Jon, John Rich and Meat Loaf showed their frustrations about Busey’s leadership. In the end, master of ceremonies Donald Trump fired Busey.
“Well I think that one was pretty obvious,” Trump said after Busey left the boardroom.
“Fact is my team mates did not like me,” Busey said as a limousine drove him away. He added, “I can turn a thunderstorm into a rainbow, and I’m flying over the rainbow tonight.”

I think Busey probably deserved to be fired based on his lack of organization as a Project Manager, but Meatloaf is such a crybaby. They all seemed to develop an animosity toward Gary in the last few episodes that you don't really see toward the beginning when they're winning.
I don't know how Meatloaf is seen as one of the good guys after he embarrassed himself by exploding with rage and blaming Gary, the scapegoat, for stealing his paints a couple episodes ago.
