But the fact that Lorenzo would probably have been the one eliminated in the Neat Cloud task had Kevin Jonas brought him back into the final boardroom instead of [[TragicMistake Ian Ziering in an ill-fated attempt to get Geraldo Rivera fired]] might have also played a role in Lorenzo being fired this time.

!!Leeza Gibbons
* TheAce: Very possibly the strongest winner the show's ever had in any season, celebrity or otherwise. At least as far as the other celebrity seasons go, the only one in a similar league was John Rich.
* FlawlessVictory: She didn't make any mistakes nor have anything go wrong for her during the season. Not one thing.[[note]](Well, technically she made a little less money overall than Geraldo, but he managed three fundraising tasks {including the finale} whereas Leeza only had one, the finale itself)[[/note]]
* HundredPercentAdorationRating: A couple of the other candidates felt that Geraldo deserved to win over her, but not one of them had even the most minute criticism of her personality. They weren't nearly so nice about Geraldo.
* WorthyRival: At the very least, Geraldo admitted that she'd be a tough opponent to defeat in the finale.
!!Geraldo Rivera
* ItsAllAboutMe: Often insisted on putting himself in the middle of whatever he was supposed to be advertising. This played a major part in his loss in the finale, as the Universal executives thought he was promoting himself more than the Universal Studios Orlando resort.
* {{Jerkass}}: He could be pretty nasty at times, especially to Kevin during the second task.
* WorthyRival: Leeza, Vivica and Ian all considered him to be this. However, most of the other candidates thought he was a blowhard who had only gotten as far as he had because of his fundraising resources.
!!Vivica A. Fox
* ArchEnemy: Initially with Kate, though her eventual rivalry with Kenya turned out to be ten times nastier, and eventually culminated in the infamous phone incident.
* GracefulLoser: Admitted that she couldn't compete with Leeza or Geraldo in fundraising resources, and that they more deserved to be in the final than she did.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Admitted that in retrospect, Kate didn't deserve to be treated the way she was for most of the season.
* TeamMom: Quite often proved to be this to the women's team, which could be quite bitterly divided even when they were winning.
* TrueCompanions: With Geraldo, after they ended up together on the same team. Despite constantly losing, they did usually work together very well.
!!Brandi Glanville
* ArchEnemy: Kenya, although their dispute really pre-dated their time on this show.
* HonorBeforeReason: She could have saved herself (at least temporarily, since she'd never realistically have made the final) by blaming Johnny for the team's failure in the last task, but she refused to do so, resulting in Trump firing her too.
!!Johnny Damon
* MrFanservice: A much more successful example of this trope than Geraldo, as he incorporated some quite revealing shots of himself (with his wife, too) into the Week 4 task.
* TakingTheBullet: He and Brandi tried to do this for each other in the boardroom after the final regular task. [[TakeAThirdOption Trump just fired them both]].
!!Ian Ziering
* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: Tried to throw Brandi under the bus big-style during the last regular task, only to be fired himself first. Not that it saved Brandi (or Johnny) for long, though.
* ItIsPronouncedTroPay: Geraldo kept mangling the pronunciation of his first and last names throughout the season, much to his annoyance.
* TheRival: With Geraldo, though it was a much more friendly sort of rivalry than the one between Geraldo and Kevin, or the various disputes among the women.
!!Kenya Moore
* EpicFail: Her bread advert was even named as the show's all-time #4 biggest example of this during a ClipShow later in the season.
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: By the end of her time on the show she had manage to alienate just about everybody on both teams. The person who seemed the most tolerant of her was Geraldo, because he only thought she was too disruptive to work with rather than outright hating her.
* IResembleThatRemark: One of her most common ways of attacking people, even in response to minor criticisms, was to say "Well, at least I never brought up the fact that (incredibly nasty and damaging revelation about the other candidate)!"
* KarmaHoudini: Zig-zagged in her final episode, when it seemed strongly likely that she had stolen Vivica's phone and used it to post defamatory messages to her Twitter account, but Trump decided that he could not fire her for it due to a lack of any actual evidence that she was the culprit. Not that it helped much in the long run -- he quickly fired her anyway for producing a horrible advertising campaign and generally being a bitch.
* WhatWereYouThinking: The reaction of Trump, the marketing executives and even team-mates Vivica and Geraldo to the fact that she chose to advertise bread products with a poster featuring a toddler ''reaching for a woman's ass''.
!!Kate Gosselin
* ArchEnemy: It was never exactly clear why, but Vivica absolutely hated her and tried to get her fired at every opportunity. That all changed when Kenya ended up on their team, with Vivica realizing just how uncalled for her behavior toward Kate had been in comparison, and being genuinely upset when she was fired.
* TheGenericGirl: Surprisingly enough considering her storied past, she mostly just fell into the background, even when she won as project manager on the second task. Trump gave this as one of his main reasons for firing her.
!!Sig Hansen
* SirSwearsALot: Whereas most of the other candidates who dropped {{Cluster F Bomb}}s did so during major arguments, Sig did it seemingly just out of habit.
* WrongGenreSavvy: Had he been putting on an event for the salty seadogs he works with on a day-to-day basis, his decision to hire Hooters girls to run their events would likely have gone down a treat. Instead, it completely bombed and got him fired.

* AchillesHeel: Clearly didn't have access to many fundraising resources, considering he brought in the least on his team in the first and fifth tasks. It didn't matter the first time since his team won, but it got him fired the second time.
* OhCrap: The look on his face after Gilbert's less-than-tasteful remarks in the third task's presentation. It was obvious that he knew the team had just lost, and that very possibly he'd get the chop along with Gilbert (though he ultimately didn't).
* TakingTheBullet: After being on the losing side of a fundraising task, he openly admitted that he brought in the least and should be fired.
!!Jamie Anderson
* DudeWheresMyRespect: In the first task she came up with a pie recipe that earned a bonus prize and prevented the women from getting completely obliterated by the men. They still lost, but Trump specifically identified Jamie as one of two people (along with top earner Leeza) who was probably safe. Keshia brought her back anyway and tried to deny that she had anything to do with the recipe, much to the disbelief of Trump and his advisers.
