So, the Trumpster is in Los Angeles… or rather he WAS in L.A. taping the latest installment of the Apprentice. Season number 6.
At first glance it seems different and very West Coastish, but after it gets past the Southern California mansions it all gets back to the competition. Apprentice is back with a vengeance!
In the first episode of The Appentice 6 Los Angeles we saw the contestants build a tent in the backyard. Haves versus have-nots… wait, that sounds familiar…
In the end we saw a boardroom scene that truly delivered a great Trump firing! It seemed longer than usual and that is what works best on Apprentice. Sure, the challenges force them to be themselves, but it is the boardroom that seprates the men from the boys.
The twist this season is the winning leader sits in and is a part of the action along with Donald and Ivanka Trump. Very cool! New spin works! Martin got fired! Great board room!

It’s Over! In the Apprentice Finale Mr. Trump gives Sean the Crown over Lee who was FIRED. I must say this was one of the more entertaining Apprentice Finales in recent memory.
For the most part I’ve written off most reality finale shows beacuse they are too predictable and often don’t have the flavor of the larger cast of folks that make these shows work in the first place.
Well, this Apprentice finale was an exception as we were able to enjoy seeing Sean and Lee pick teams and bring back some of the more entertaining and appealing ones.
While Sean did pick a logical dream team, Lee on the other hand picked a more “entertaining” yet poor choice of workers.
While I am glad he picked Lenny for gag appeal his team in general was what killed him.
You had to know when the show kept reminding us of how bad a pick that Pepe was by asking “who is Pepe?” over and over.

Michael’s fired… OK…
It’s been a great season for the Apprentice and I have enjoyed watching it but I must say that as the contestants go bye bye and fewer characters remain in the show, the less interesting it is to watch.
I also look back at previous seasons and that is how I felt about the FINALES… THEY WEREN’T THE best SHOWS of the season… they were the worst!
Sorry, but unless you are rooting for one of the finalists it isn’t as fun to watch as when the multiple personalities were bouncing off each other.
Like this year the Russki guy and that fat crazy guy added interest and excitement.
Now we are down to a few and it just isn’t that exciting anymore.
So who is left? Tammy, Roxanne, Sean, Lee and Allie.
Tammy - I will say that Tammy even at age 33 is my ultimate deam girl… because of her brains of course… and her good looks don’t hurt! She’s got the best personality too!
I’m rooting for her.
Sean - he’s ok but his accent is kinda annoying sometimes and he seems to do the wrong things politically sometimes.
Lee - he doesn’t strike me as being a Trump employee but I could be wrong. He is sharp at times.
Allie - I liked her more at the beginning of the season. She is cute but she is so bratty sometimes…
Roxanne - I think she’s the next to go.
So, who is going to make it to the final two???

Classless and Clueless and Disgusting! Brent Buckman Fired- The Apprentice-03-20-06
This Article is Written and Owned by: Arne
Just as you thought that, the Donald and his right hand eyes and ears were on a direct course of action and accountability, highlighting the facts of true reasons to candidate’s demise. We get a show like last night, that was full of so much crock, that it would take the sewage department at least a year to get it all cleared up.
Last night’s apprentice was the last night for Brent Buckman, who was fired by the Donald. Now ordinarily that is part of the show, but for the life of me, I cannot see the reason that he was fired! For being difficult????? when was that exactly??? Synergy who should be renamed Clueless, had successfully put Brent on ice ! They gave him no tasks to do, but menial little tasks that did not even exist (i.e. in charge of the clothes department). Brent was not responsible for the loss, Andrea played the greatest part in the loss,she claimed this was her department of knowledge and expertise. With that self-indulgent advertisement of her self, then Synergy should have won easily. Instead they lost by a mile, the banner was gaudy, uninteresting and wordy! You would think with all the bragging we saw Andrea do , that she would of caught that and changed it with her so called superior authority and know how! The fact is she missed it and so did the rest of the genius’s ( not) on the team! As a matter of fact the rest of the team did not like the banner when they sent it over but did NOT have the courage to say so. This grouped with Tammy the project manager’ s main focus of a timeline, got them the loss.

Would you date Ivanka Trump?
I’d date her! And apparently so would Dad, the Donald himself who recently was quoted as saying he’d date her.
I can see why because she is quite charming on the new season of The Apprentice.
And while we are on the subject of “beauty” - how about the latest crop of Apprentice wanna-bes! A good looking group to say the least!
A few are even stunners, but I’ll leave commenting on that for anther post.
Apprentice seems to be better this season and is off to a good start!

Do not Interrupt the Atomic D-O-N: The Apprentice: Grand Slam Opener: 02-27-06
This Article is written and owned by: Arne
I do not usually write about the apprentice, but after viewing the season opener were “The Donald” comes out fighting and gets tough, I just could not resist!
Last night’s apprentice was an indication that the show was going to have more down and dirty competition then we ever saw on the Apprentice. Already we see the different candidates grouping off and pledging allegiance to each other! However, in the boardroom those allegiances turn into dust, it is more likened to survival of the fittest! Not only do we see these allegiances we see “The Donald”, getting rough and tough in the boardroom.
The show opens and the Donald makes his grand entrance showing what success can buy a person. We have his usual right hand women and man in Caroline and George who lead the candidates in. The Candidates are introduced:
Allie a medical sales manager and Andrea a sticker company owner,
Brent, an attorney and Bryce a homebuilder,
Charmaine, a real estate consultant, and Dan a clothing company owner,
Lee, a business analyst and Lenny, a trading company owner,
Leslie, a realtor and Michael, a management consultant,
Pepi, an attorney and Roxanne, an appellate attorney,
Sean, a recruitment consultant and Stacy, a criminal defence attorney
Summer a restaurant owner and Tammy, a wealth manager,
Tarek, a hi-tech manager, and Theresa, a psychotherapist.

Is Donald Trump prejudiced?
It makes me wonder, it seems to me that Donald Trump tried in every way NOT TO HIRE RANDAL who was the obvious choice.
Fans that are sounding off, what is it that you are upset about! Really what did Rebecca do to make it that far? She really didn’t contribute much in ANY TASK! She used her injury to her advantage and gained sympathy from fans.
If Rebecca’s foot wasn’t injured she most likely would of been targeted from the group and fired!
I didn’t like Alla’s way but I do agree with Alla when she truthfully said that Rebecca didn’t give anything!
Randall also lost his grandmother! He went to her funeral and came right back on the task!
Rebecca on two occasions misrepresented Randal’s role in a task when he did indeed contribute to the task. Why did Rebecca do this? Because she knew Randal was the competition!
Rebecca is by trade a media/reporter, so we do know that she is well trained in misleading the audience/readers with the truth and the facts.
Donald Trump in many apprentice shows had fine young African Americans and yet each time he would let them get oh so close and find a reason to let them go!
I will also say one thing Donald Trump is not representative of what Americans are and what they stand for! For one thing I was extremely proud and impressed with the fired potential apprentices who supported Randal even though they got fired! They harboured no resentment and they were behind him 1000 percent of the way. These folks are representative of American Thought.
Internationally Americans are thought to be racists, which Americans are consistently showing that they are not what others think of them. They proved it with the Apprentice and they proved it in Big Brother when America voted Keyser back in the house.
Mr. Trump, George and Carolyn may want to take some humble lessons from their fellow Americans and Mr. Trump may want to consider the dirty trick he played on Randal by giving him his first bout of Authority and having him make the decision if Rebecca should also be hired.
The bottom line is Rebecca did not deserve to win and the right person was hired!
I am surprised and even shocked that Donald would consider hiring Rebecca who never won a task and was mostly on the losing side each week. The one and only reason Rebecca won was because Randal did want her to gain the win, because Randal guided Rebecca on her one and only win( with Randal) that the actor they had was not up to par, and also because Randal was ready willing and able to ensure they got the win when he stepped in and did the skit in place of a boring actor. Had Rebecca stayed with this actor it would of been another defeat.
In reality the final competition should of been between Randal and ALLA.
Rebecca the person who says she worked with Colin Powell and raised $750,000 at 15 years of age, didn’t raise a dime for the event she was leading. Rebecca tried to mislead Trump when she said Randal over thinks! and loses focus. Really!!!! Rebecca, Carolyn herself said you had lost focus of what the final and most important task was and that was to raise money for a worthy cause! Further if Rebecca expects us to believe that at 15 she raised this amount of cash, I would venture to say that it is only because a famed person like Colin Powell was with her! My one question to Rebecca is if you were so good at raising money, why didn’t you step to the plate and help the leaders of each task achieve their goal! Hell you should of been winning tasks left and right! If you were so good you would of found a way to respect the yahoo executives wishes and still raised the money for the charity. Instead you fumbled once more.
Congratulations Randal you deserved to win and it was a HONEST WIN!
I believe one of the fired potential apprentices told Mr. Trump ” it was a railroad right from the beginning” which I tend to agree what you did last night the Donald was indeed a railroad!
The bottom line is that Randal was the best man for the job and that Rebecca flew under the radar right down to the end!

Martha seen with the Donald - pre ratings war!
Well, it looks rather official, Martha is out – Donald wins again! According to Yahoo entertainment news, sources at NBC say that the network has passed on another season of Martha’s version of the apprentice – effectively ending her ratings war with Donald Trump. The show has struggled in the ratings since it began in September. A spokesman for NBC said that the show was only ever scheduled for one season – yeah, right. I am not buying that. You mean to tell me that if the ratings had been great and the network and show producers were making money, they would have cancelled? I think not.
This was another effort to spin off from a successful show format that failed. Martha’s show only averaged 6.8 million viewers – according to Nielsen Media Research, significantly lower than Trumps version of the show. The show was partly doomed when it was shifted to the 9 pm time slot against Lost on ABC.
The two-hour live finale is scheduled for December 21st after which the show will be over unless something changes between now and then.
Now, besides time slots, what went wrong with this show?
1. People like Donald better! He is more charismatic, and even funny at times. Watching Martha after the Donald is like watching paint dry.
2. Her daughter. Alexis Stewart was written into the show as a “consultant”. Talk about watching paint dry, this gal has no business in, well, business! She is boorish, unpleasant and dull. Again, put her up against the intelligent, funny and attractive Caroline over on Donald’s show and you have a no-brainer decision on whom to watch.
3. The tasks are more exciting on Donald’s show. New York is a bustling, lively city. The perfect environment for the candidates on the original apprentice to show their stuff. While the tasks haven’t always been full of entertainment and certainly several of them have fallen flat, overall they are much better than Martha’s.
4. The boardroom. Ahh yes, the boardroom scenes have become so important that after the first Apprentice, NBC devoted more time to the boardroom scenes due to popular demand for more Donald laying down the law. Again, comparing the two boardrooms and the dramas that unfold, it is clear that Donald’s show is better. He is more exciting, enigmatic and although it is Martha’s first try at it and I guess I should give her a break, I really don’t want to! She is just not the entertainer that is needed in a boardroom setting. And what is this business with writing cards to people?
5. To much reality TV? Although I don’t want to admit it, maybe there is just too much reality TV on now. Maybe one apprentice is enough?
Whatever the reason, Martha is out and once again, Donald Trump can claim bragging rights to being number one at yet another endeavor. As for me, I am ok with it. Martha’s show is lousy and reality TV junkies need quality to numb the brain and entertain – all at the same time!
