Apprentice Nears the End

M J + May 11th, 2006 + no replies

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???

Would you date Ivanka Trump?

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!

Is Donald Trump Prejudiced?

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 is out after one season – She’s fired!

RealityTVFan + November 14th, 2005 + 3 replies

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!

Martha Stewert aint no Donald Trump but new Apprentice Show Works!

M J + October 2nd, 2005 + 35 replies

Ya know I hate to admit it but I kinda like Martha Stewert’s version of the Apprentice.

Granted it is not as good as Donald Trump’s Apprentice but hey – it still is THE APPRENTICE!

It’s a Mark Burnett show and they simply don’t seem to ever suck.

I kinda think Alexis is a cutey! I bet she’d look hot if she let her hair down and waxed. Get outta that business suit girlfriend! But Alexis doesn’t know her plants like Mommy does (that’s a good thing, right?)

New Apprentice star has ‘colorful’ past

RealityTVFan + September 19th, 2005 + no replies

According to the smokinggun.com, Alla Wartenberg, a new contestant on this seasons Apprentice 4 was a pricey Vegas stripper in her past life. The site says that back in 1995, she stripped under the name Ecstasy where she met a trucking executive that became obsessed with her and spent lavishly on her. The real news came when he could no longer afford his ‘habit’ and turned to crime to help pay for his obsession with her. He killed three people during robbery attempts and was sentenced to death. Both show producers and Donald Trump say they were unaware of this link but that it would be looked into…….more fireworks to come here for sure! Stay tuned!
