The Apprentice

Written by Mark Saleski

I can't believe I'm writing this...but I watched Donald Trump's "The Apprentice" last night...and I enjoyed it.

I can no longer give fellow BlogCritic Tom Johnson crap for watching reality TV. I've been sucked in.

My head hangs in shame.

Yeah, take it back, sucker!

Ha - I couldn't even bring myself to watch The Apprentice. I see enough corporate suck-ups and back-stabbers at work everyday, thank you very much.

I stopped down for this last night and enjoyed it. Outside of the stupid "Temptation Island" this is reality show that has real life consequences.

I seem to be missing some key strokes this morning, that should have read "a reality show."

i happened to see an interview with Trump about this show...they were asking him how the contestants were selected.

one of his comments was about how they were the smarted contestants in the history or reality tv.

well, there's book-smart and there's people smart....there was a definite lack of people smart in a few of those folks.

Like the guy who got fired because he was, in his opinion, too smart to sell lemonade?

I don't have a reality TV hang-up at all; ever since Big Brother started I've missed, tops, maybe five episodes, so I'd be the last person in the world to feel guilty about watching The Apprentice, which is a step up. Liked what I saw of the show; Trump is such a whore for publicity, and just a natural at this kind of thing.

Reality shows are created and produced by demonically possessed Satanists determined to open the gates of hell and make Americans the most callous and unfeeling humans in the history of the world.
IMHO...:-)
