'The Celebrity Apprentice': Clay Aiken talks 'American Idol' past, toughness

Clay Aiken may not on paper seem like the most intimidating member of "The Celebrity Apprentice" this coming season, but in a new video from NBC the singer is doing everything in his power to show one thing -- he is now only strong, but also incredibly smart.

Aiken's strategy seems to be avoiding as much of the unnecessarily drama as possibly -- simply because if he wins every task, he is never in danger of going home to begin with. Aiken also had a rather interesting comment about "American Idol" -- after going through the entire experience, he became too fearful for the contestants to actually watch the show. (He actually refered to it as Pavlovian whenever he heard the familiar theme music.)

Some of Aiken's fellow contestants on the show include the likes of George Takei, Victoria Gotta, and Teresa Giudice.
