Celeb Apprentice

trainwreck.jpg

So I thought I would give The Apprentice another try this season. I watched it the first couple of seasons then got tired of Donald and his minions making wannabee business moguls jump through hoops while seeing who could plant the biggest pucker on his ass. Anyway, this season it's a so-called celebrity Apprentice. And anytime you see the word celebrity typed here, please picture me doing air quotes around the word.

Gene Simmons graces us with his presence but frankly, unless he is wearing the KISS makeup, he is about as interesting as the lamp in the corner of the room. And Mary Lou Henner??? Being so young myself, I can only remember re-runs of Taxi and I think I soiled my diaper everytime I accidently watched any of it. So they are really scratching the bottom of the D-list for this celebrity edition. Did you remember your air quotes? Rounding out the cast is one of the Baldwin brothers. I think it's the one that got fat, well that doesn't really narrow it down any, but he's the one that found god and then was disappointed when even the allmighty himself wasn't able to help with his acting skills. There's also a couple beauties, a model and playgirl centerfold, and I can only assume perky breasts play a role in the competition somehow because I saw nothing else. For some reason the breasts did nothing for me. A boxer, fighter, and a Brit who at least gave us a neat accent are hanging around too. But the cherry on top of this train-wreck sundae is the addition of Omarosa, the villianess from season one. How is she even close to being a celebrity? I cannot air quote enough when calling her a celebrity. But she brings the needed confrontaions and attitude that the show will badly need this season, especially with Donald using his son and daughter as judges. These two just sit there like deer in headlights.

But hey, it's only the first episode so maybe things will get interesting now that all the claws came out on the first challenge.

I watched Season Two and loved it. After that, it became obnoxious and boring. When I heard about Celebrity Apprentice, I laughed. How desperate are Trump and NBC in attempting to make this washed up concept a hit again?

Good LORD, there really isn't anything on TV anymore, is there...
