I've been watching Celebrity Apprentice since the season began, and I'm not surprised at all that country star John Rich has it made it to the finals. He has handled himself with dignity, grace, and most of all class in getting to the finals.

His only detractor was a former Celebrity Apprentice winner, British TV personality and CNN talk show host Piers Morgan. Piers said John “benefited from being on a great team,” and Piers took a shot at country music.

Even went as far as to poke fun of his cowboy hat. I'm just hoping John proves Piers wrong. What does wearing a hat have to do with becoming the next Celebrity Apprentice.

John has joined up with former competitors rapper Lil' Jon, TV host Mark McGrath and former TV personality Star Jones, who admitted to having a little crush on the country star. Star made the comment: "I Love Big Daddy Rich"

The final two celebrities, John Rich and Marlee Matlin are going toe to toe to launch a campaign for a new retro product for 7 Up. John has enlisted his good friend Dee Snider of Twisted Sister to recreate the 80's and peddle the new product for the TV commercial.

John Rich releases his own “Six Pak” CD’s today. One, called For The Kids pays tribute to his favorite charity, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, with a portion of the proceeds going toward the organization.

The season finale of Celebrity Apprentice airs this Sunday at 8pm on NBC.
