I saw a shark. And jumping over that shark was one Donald Trump, calling himself The Ringmaster and announcing that the circus was in town. Well, he was right about the circus. Celebrity Apprentice has hit the airwaves again. I am hopelessly addicted to any variation of The Apprentice (including plain vanilla, celebrity, and the British version). It's hard to watch a train wreck, but there are isolated redeeming moments that keep me coming back.
This season Trump has separated the teams again into male and female. I don't know his reasoning but I would guess that there's less pretense starting out that way. No one is filtering something for the opposite sex. Women get cattier in a crew. Men get puffier in a pack.
So here are a few random observations from last night's premier:
Gary Bussey is a mess. His inability to turn off his cell phone was reminiscent of Blago trying to use his Smartphone in the last Celebrity Apprentice.
Dione Warwick on the register? Puh-leeze. Who puts a senior citizen on a technology-related task? I just slapped myself because I took exception to that. I'm not as old as Dione but I'm up there and I work in tecnology every day. But my point is that learning how to push all the right buttons is not a task you give an elderly diva. Send her outside to sing or something.
Back to Gary. The Pepperoni Profit was pretty funny but I don't believe he added any value. I would have just thought he was a NY whack-o and crossed the street. Then again I wouldn't pay $500 for a slice of pizza.
Star who?
Did they have to use those delivery vans or could the women have sent someone off in a taxi cab to deliver one of the orders at the end? They knew the timing was close. Why did they all pile into the van?
I felt bad for David. He had a nice camel coat though.
Richard is obnoxious. That will, of course, endear him to Trump.
Trump is obnoxious. So why do I watch this show? Oh yeah, I'm addicted.
