The Apprentice
The Apprentice
WHO will get fired this week? Will it be the annoying MARIA? Probably. Or the also-annoying RAJ? Maybe. Or the annoying asian chick whose name I FORGOT? Likely. Will it be the brilliant hottie JENNIFER? Unlikely. Or the level-headed KEVIN who showed his BADASS side when he bitch-slapped Elizabeth last week? Probably not, but only TIME will TELL!
WILL I be wasting an hour tonight at 9 when I could be working on next week's song? Most certainly YES! WHY am I even watching this show? I don't fucking KNOW!
WATCH watch tch... THE APPRENTICE pprentice ice... TO FIND OUT out ut...
My prediction is: Maria.

I kinda watch this show. I can describe them well enough by their differentiating characteristics for the most part (Bowtie Guy, Boyhair Girl, Annoying Short Lawyer, Unhelpful Asian Girl) but wouldn't be able to name more than one of them. Maybe.
Like any other reality game show, they pick about 1/4 who have a good chance of winning, 1/4 who have no chance in hell of winning, and 1/2 people who are really good at fucking shit up. What is interesting is how many people on this show are just unlikable, I really hate almost all of them. Okay, the black dude is cool, and the blonde dude is cool too, in that they both seem to know how to put their personality aside in order to get people to listen to them, a trait which seems necessary to lead and a trait which would be useful to someone who was, I don't know, going to "run a company" for a many with a follicly anomalous hairstyle.
I think that an interesting idea would be to have a season of people doing the same tasks with more normal people competing along the kind they get to be on the show. Get regular people, not just the "Type A-hole" personalities that are on The Apprentice.

The thing that really irks me about this is the whole "hail to the chief" bullshit. I respect a boss who does need his boots licked. Thus, I have no respect for Mr. Combover.
Jen: Super hot, doesn 't know when to turn of the lawyer though, and that's what ultimately killed her... she could represent me anytime though!
Kelly: He's got a girl's name, and he was in the military???? hmmm..... I bet he'll do a great job.. he has a no nonsense style.
I only watched the finale, I saw not a one episode. Seems like I got the feel for the season though. How about the O'jays screwing up there tune eh? Sucks to be them!

i watched maybe five minutes of this show and had to turn it off. the blonde bimbo from san francisco, with her annoying shill whine and inability to accept any blame but fully willing to take all the credit. the guy just kind of sat there accepting her abuse for the most part but then human nature got the best of him and he turned into a crybaby fingerpointer too. and trump's 2 chief minions are really no better. but the donald just makes me cringe. that man is just plain creepy. that bad hair....jesus....
this show is the most narcissistic, annoying show on tv. maybe worse than the bachelor even.

Hi!
Also apparently one of the most deceptive: the whole "Chris Webber backs out at the last minute" thing never really happened.jack shite wrote:this show is the most narcissistic, annoying show on tv.
I felt bad for that Matthew guy, Trump's COO, who totally froze when Regis interviewed him. That's reality, baby!

[SPOILERS]
For those keeping score, the Bob's Big Boy Napoleon Complex guy was all "IT'S NOT MY FAULT THAT NO ONE IS LISTENING TO ME OR RESPONDING TO MY BAD LEADERSHIP SKILLS" and then the Vince Vaughan guy was all "Dude, seriously you need to chill out because you are waaaaay too abrasive," and then BBBNC goes "SHUTUPSHUTUPSHUTUP I AM SO NOT GOING TO GET FIRED" and then they go to the boardroom and BBBNC gets asked "Should I fire you?" and BBBNC says "Yes, you should fire me." And then he gets fired. WTF
