Leeza Gibbons won Donald Trump's "Celebrity Apprentice" Season 7 with a little help from eliminated contestant Kevin Jonas.
For the final task, Gibbons and Rivera were asked to create a commercial for Universal Orlando Resort. With their team mates Brandi Glanville and Johnny Damon, Jonas directed the commercial for Gibbons.
During the final task, Jonas expressed his willingness to help Gibbons win to help redeem himself after being fired early on the competition and to trump Rivera, who he used to have a conflict with.
On Feb. 15, Sunday, Gibbons took to Instagram to share a photo of her and Jonas at the Universal Orlando Resort with a caption, "Working with the super-smart,super-talented@kevinJonas on our final task for@apprenticenbc #CelebApprentice Almost there! Watch Monday at 8 on NBC."
Rivera's commercial, on the other hand, was directed by Lorenzo Lamas with the help of other eliminated contestants Ziering and Vivia A. Fox.
The final two were also tasked to sell resort packages to raise money for their charities.
For his charity Life's WORC, Rivera raised $146,000, $30,000 of which was from Ziering. While Rivera was expected to win the fundraising task, Gibbons managed to raise $324,000 for her charity Leeza's Care Connection.
"Never underestimate a woman with passion," said Gibbons, who Trump described as an "overachiever."
"I really think Geraldo should just concede right now because, if he doesn't, Ian's going to have a meltdown, and we don't want that," Gibbons joked during the live final boardroom of "Celebrity Apprentice 2015" referring to her rival Geraldo Rivera and "Sharknado" star Ian Ziering.
Before Trump declared Gibbons as "Celebrity Apprentice 2015," "Celebrity Apprentice" alum Melissa Rivers stopped by pay a final tribute to her late mother and former "Celebrity Apprentice" winner Joan Rivers.
The former "Fashion Police" host's daughter was in tears as Trump showed a clip reel, which got a standing ovation from the studio audience.
