So let's start with the basics: How'd you get involved in The Celebrity Apprentice?

I told them all about my business skills and the businesses that I run and I got the job!

You and Annie didn't really get along in the beginning. Does that change?

Brande Roderick: You know, it's kind of funny because through everything that has happened on the show, and you guys will see a lot of ups and downs but we are like the closest out of everybody on the show.

Really?

Brande Roderick: Yeah, it's kind of funny because we were the ones that looked like we went at it the most. But, actually we ended up being very good friends.
