The day before the pizza sale was when they called in as many favours and rustled up as much support as they could. It was a strategy adopted by each team, and there was a brief shot of Meat on the phone doing his bit. To me it's part of what being on Celeb App is about, and how it differs from the basic programme. They're in competition, but principally they're wanting to each raise the most money to win for their charity, so to use your contacts and your name to do this seems to me to be perfectly acceptable, and in line with what good celebrities do to raise money for causes, because that was what they were about. I liked the way Meat spotted a black credit card and said "Hey, you've got a back card! .. you can ...." and got a good donation for that sale
I didn't see it as a pissing contest .. more a case of using your contacts, your networks, and it was always going to be the deciding factor .. there's only so many pizzas you can sell in a day, and if you can get donations for them, so much the better. Any pissing was engineered in the boardroom imo for dramatic effect, although I think Trump made a fair point in identifying that this was where the task was won or lost, and I wondered why Jose had not made contact with Yankees players who he said he did know.
