I don’t really watch that much reality television… okay, yes, I watch some, but I watch way less, I think, than the average television junkie. Anyway, Sunday night is quickly becoming my favorite night of reality television (Top Gear being on hiatus). Last night featured a fantastic set of fights, one on NBC, the other on CBS.
First up, there was The Celebrity Apprentice, with the ongoing feud between Joan and Melissa Rivers on one side and Annie Duke on the other. Obviously Melissa and Joan shouldn’t be working together against anyone as they’re still on opposite sides, but you have to almost forgive them as Annie Duke is kind of a wretched human being.
I’m not quite sure why she rubs me the wrong way, but she does. She’s even made Melissa seem like a rational, competent, person, and that’s saying something. Every time Annie opens her mouth something more and more ridiculous comes out of it. Last night she actually put forth the idea that she was the perfect woman for, among other reasons, being able to give a great “bleep-job.” I think we all know what she was saying before the show bleeped her out.
Think of the children! This woman has four kids, the eldest a teenager. This child could very easily be watching mom on TV. I ask you, if you were watching your parents on national television would you want to hear that? Think of the psychiatry bills involved.
Joan and Melissa have ended up going after Annie full force. Joan still seems to have a problem with Clint Black, but she’s put that on the back burner in order to take down Annie Duke.
Normally I would say that Joan didn’t stand a chance — Trump wants as the winner the person who raises the most cash, and Annie has done a great job thus far of doing that. However, Trump likes Joan, possibly more than he likes Annie, and if he wants, Trump will find a way to make sure Annie gets fired. After all, Joan ought to have been fired last night for managing her team poorly and she wasn’t only because Trump likes her. That just might give her a leg up on Annie, that is, if Annie’s team ever loses again.
