It's over, just leave it be.
Rumors are already spreading (if not spreading then confirmed) that The Apprentice will have a second season. For those of you blessed enough not to have crawled arcross this bucket of chaunch, let me give you a brief rundown. The Apprentice is a horribly boring show where a bunch of personality deprived business people fight for a position to be Donald Trump's biotch.
NBC is just making one bad decision after another this season. First they try to replace Friends with Coupling, a show about a bunch of not-that-hot single nymphos laughing about....well who knows what they were laughing at...the show wasn't on past episode 2 or 3. Then they move their most promising show, Scrubs, to Tuesday to make room for the A-Number 1 person who should NEVER be on television - Donald Trump. He's freakish to look at and purses his lips more than his half-plastic daughter. Last time they moved a GREAT show to Tuesday it failed in the time slot (Freaks and Geeks, for those wondering what I'm referring to).
I really believe that all the current NBC executives should be put into cryostasis until they come up with a cure for ails them: chronic Headinassia.

Well The Apprentice is actually fairly entertaining. I've never heard of Scubs, but I do see much more potential and future in Scrubs (a wonderful show) and I do hope it survives.

Collin is just pissed that it's wildly successful -- which he seems to think reveals bad decision-making at NBC.

I'm aloud to defend myself here right?
Firstly...It's only successful because it's hyped. That doesn't mean it good. You honestly don't think Trump wouldn't pay to have his show come on after Friends?
And nextly...how could you possibly find it entertaining? "Hmm....gee...let's think up yet ANOTHER 'reality' TV show where people get kicked off." Yeah, that's original. Sweets, just 'cuz the guys are "hot" doesn't make it good television.

Just about everything is successful because it is marketed -- or as you put it , "hyped." No one said that made it good, which is a purely relative judgment. But all the hype in the world does not make people watch a program week after week unless they genuinely want to, which obviously people did. You don't find it entertaining and that's fine; I don't find a lot of things entertaining. I liked "The Apprentice" because for one thing it had several great characters -- Donald, Omarossa, sam, George, Carolyn, Amy, etc. -- and week to week I was hooked in to finding which of the diminishing number would fatally screw up, and I have not yet gotten tired of seeing The Donald chew out his underlings. The fact that it's one more reality show where people get kicked off doesn't bother me anymore than the fact that "Scrubs" is one more situation comedy. The fact that both have a familiar premise isn't the point; it's where you take it from there.

Collin, do I have to bring up Skins again? Besides, at the start of The Apprentice, I don't remember seeing as much marketing on it as I do now. After it became a #1 show, it received far more marketing than it previously did. Just look at the amount of hype it got in the week before the season finale.
Lastly, I do find it entertaining, just like you find it repulsive, for reasons that you're probably too set in your ways to understand.
By the way, I'll have you know I've been living under a rock for the past few years and this is the first "reality tv" show that I've been interested in (I've yet to see a single episode of American Idol, Survivor, etc...) So if you think I'm some "reality tv" show junkie, think again.
