"Last night&amp;#039;s Kodak challenge marked the end of the road for Sinbad on The Celebrity Apprentice. Although initially pleased with being elected team leader, things quickly turned sour for the actor-comedian after a clash with Bret Michaels. Criticized for not giving the Poison singer anything to do during their task, Sinbad failed to recover and quickly lost favor amongst his teammates. After his not-so-shocking exit last night, we called him up to get his thoughts on being fired. Did your departure sting less knowing your team did well in the challenge? &amp;quot;When they know you lost, they edit it a certain way, but I know we did well. I might have looked a little bit confused - what you saw on the show wasn&amp;#039;t the whole picture.&amp;quot; Was the experience what you expected? &amp;quot;I didn&amp;#039;t have any expectations. I was familiar with the format and I thought it was one of the best run reality shows. Personalities are 80% to 90% of the show. Celebrities have very distinct personalities and it works very well for what we do. But sometimes you clash - you play in your own little world. As you&amp;#039;re finding out with Cyndi Lauper and the girls - some of them have a problem with her.&amp;quot; Where do you think you went wrong during last night&amp;#039;s task? &amp;quot;I couldn&amp;#039;t man the equipment and have people enjoy the store. Maybe I should have, but we couldn&amp;#039;t. No-one looked around and thought about that.&amp;quot; What about the tension with Bret? &amp;quot;Bret just wanted to be told what to do. Others just jumped in and helped out but he needed to be told.&amp;quot; Do you think it would have been different if you&amp;#039;d given Bret something to do? &amp;quot;Well we did, but they just never showed it. I gave him something to do but he said he didn&amp;#039;t know how to do it. He didn&amp;#039;t end up doing anything, but I got criticized. I think you&amp;#039;ll find each episode that Bret is always gonna be like this. I don&amp;#039;t know what happened that day - he just went off. I gave him stuff to do with the graphics. He was busy some of the time.&amp;quot; Just how tense is that boardroom? &amp;quot;You wanna stay and make it work. The boardroom isn&amp;#039;t that scary - but what&amp;#039;s intense is that you don&amp;#039;t know which one of your guys is gonna try and out you!&amp;quot; If you could go back, would you do anything differently in the boardroom? &amp;quot;A lot of stuff from the boardroom was taken out. I definitely defended myself, but that whole speech wasn&amp;#039;t shown. I said I wasn&amp;#039;t gonna beg to stay - I made that choice before I started on that show. Donald knows who he wants to fire before you walk into that room, so there was no way I was gonna beg in that room.&amp;quot; There wasn&amp;#039;t anything you could have said? &amp;quot;As I said, it was just edited out. I think they edit it after the person is fired. I was a team player, for sure. To be honest, I didn&amp;#039;t have enough anger. I worked as hard as I could, but I still left.&amp;quot; What was it like working with such a diverse group of celebrities? &amp;quot;I wish I could&amp;#039;ve stayed longer - it was a fun group of people to work with. This year is a very strong year. I liked Cyndi Lauper - it was really fun getting to know the real Cyndi.&amp;quot; What advice do you have for those who are still in the game? &amp;quot;Avoid being project manager for as long as you can! Everyone always says they need something to do! A lot of it is luck of the draw. This was our first real task to show what we could do, and I got fired.&amp;quot; Who do you think will win? &amp;quot;I know that if they mess around, Holly will be hard to beat. I don&amp;#039;t think the women see that yet. You get all these strong personalities on the women&amp;#039;s side. Everyone is focusing on Sharon and Cyndi, but if you watch it, it&amp;#039;s Holly - she&amp;#039;s making that show run. When I walked in and saw her, I thought, &amp;#039;There she is&amp;#039; - she&amp;#039;s clever, she&amp;#039;s organized. Curt is a very smart guy, too.&amp;quot; Would you consider another reality show? Maybe Dancing With The Stars? &amp;quot;No - that will never happen!&amp;quot; The Celebrity Apprentice continues Sunday at 9pm on NBC. &amp;gt; Click here for our recap of the latest episode "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
