The men's team lost out to the women's team, headed by TV personality Star Jones, as they battled to run successful pizzerias in Manhattan.
While the men - Team Backbone - raised just over $54,000, the women - ASAPP - managed to rake in more than $115,000 in donations for their respective charities on the NBC show.
Later Hatch mocked Cassidy, 60, for being small in stature and for his 'delicate' and 'sensitive' nature.

Cassidy said as he left: 'Richard Hatch is disrespectful. I probably could have punched him but that's not my style.'
The women's team, which includes LaToya Jackson and Lisa Rinna, worked well together to secure their place as the first week winners.
