This season was full of bitch fights, Nazi allegations and a drunk Dennis Rodman. However, after going ballistic on arch-nemesis, poker player Annie Duke, legendary comic Joan Rivers took the crown of Celebrity Apprentice.

On Sunday night's three-hour live finale, Rivers and Duke were challenged to raise money for their respective charities by selling Cirque du Soleil tickets and providing a pre-show VIP party. Even though Annie Duke out fund-raised Joan Rivers, Joan took home points for attracting bigger celebrities and integrating the Kodak brand more.

Rivers went on the Today Show after her win, explaining her hatred from Duke by saying, "I love everybody. Don't you touch my daughter or you're dead in the water."

With her win, Rivers raised $250,000 for her charity God's Love We Deliver. When Trump announced she was the winner, Rivers stood up and gave Duke a hug. Trump's Celebrity Apprentice will back next year with another season.
