Teresa Giudice was invited to appear on "Celebrity Apprentice" in 2012. She "competed" and even though she kept screwing up, the Trumps kept on on "the team" week after week.

Later, it came out that TFG yelled at Junior for promoting Giudice to be on their show because they anticipated that she would do "something" to enhance their ratings, along the lines of flipping another table or scream at the contestants. Giudice failed their expectations by being subdued and obedient. They kept her on, believing that she'd have a meltdown eventually.

Even later, when Giudice's husband, Joe, faced deportation, she imprudently relied on TFG to keep him from being kicked out. No such luck.
