The Apprentice is like the characters on heroes, they die but their powers keep bringing them back to life. What powers did Donald Trump use to get The Apprentice back on the air? Perhaps his power is in his hair. If the Don hears something he doesn’t like his hair leaps off his head and attaches itself to the head of its prey and starts sucking the brains out of it.

Honestly, I’ve been a fan of the show forever and even I believe it doesn’t deserve to be on television anymore! It’s 2009 people!!! Where’s my flying car?!!! The show is OLD like all the has been celebrities that frequent it. It is time to give it a rest Don. Don’t you love it.. you know a show really sucks when they don’t even bother playing the full length intro anymore. Furthermore the show isn’t even in HD anymore. How can you go on television and say your show is the greatest on cable and it is not even in Hi-def. NBC, don’t bring The Apprentice back for season 9.. resist the whiles of the Don.

Oops, they did it again, they brought back another season of The Apprentice. But it is not just any season, it is a season full of celebrities. But honestly though, the biggest celebrity of them all is Donald Trump and you know it. I would bet that most everybody has no clue who half of these “celebrity” apprentii are or why are they are even famous. Nevertheless, it has been interesting so far to see these semi-famous individuals try and do business. These celebrities put out work that is not that far off from the work of the business professionals that we’ve seen in previous seasons. And it makes me think that you don’t really need to major in business to MAJOR IN BUSINESS. In otherwords, business has no requirements, anybody can do it. And because of this, I must widen my definition of what a business person is to include drug dealers and hoes. Donald Trump would like you to believe that you need to go to the Wharton School of Business to be successful, but he is only speaking what he knows. There are plenty of people that are more successful than him that never went to that school or any other school of business.

I can say this, if it weren’t for Ivanka Trump I would have stopped watching ages ago. Ah cha cha cha.

It appears that talks are underway for The Apprentice to come back for it’s seventh and final season. They must have known that I enjoy watching it and didn’t want to upset me. All the news on the Internet makes it sound like The Apprentice will be back for sure, but I unless I see it with my own eyes I will not believe it. Right after the show ended they announced that was the end of that and now they want to bring it back. Uh huh. Apparently it will have celebrities contestants. Whatever gets them more ratings.. right? I mean comeon, which celebrities, besides Kato Kaelin and Larry Birkhead, would want to humilate themselves on national television by stepping in front of Donald Trumps firing line? I don’t know of any that would or any that would be stupid enough to. Why are they even considering bringing it back, you ask? Because, NBC’s line up is pathetic, and adding The Apprentice couldn’t possibly make their line up any worst than it already is.

Yesterday, it appears that Donald Trump got ‘fired’ by NBC. The Apprentice had good run with six seasons but toward the end the ratings just weren’t there. After the end of the sixth season the offical The Apprentice forum was full of posts saying that there would most likely not be a seventh season, and I even said it myself. On the season finale Donald Trump seemed to just not to care anymore, and it felt like he just wanted it over with. The show just became lackluster and appeared evermore so gimmicky. Farewell, my apprentice… Hey, atleast there’s The Apprentice UK.

Season 6 of The Apprentice is over.. as of tonight. Donald Trump hired Stephani and fired James due to “certain dialog” that concerned him over the course of the job interview. I agree with Donald Trump’s decision to hire Stephani. She seems to be a more solid candidate where as James often came off as self-promoting, brown nosing, and a totally fake candidate.

Every year Donald Trump makes changes in the hiring process. This year he made the losers stay outside in a tent, the winning project manager was project manager for the next task, and celebrities such as Snoop Dogg and Arnold Schwarzenegger were rewards. These changes, along with the whole Nicole and Tim love affair, made the whole season appear as just more reality television crap. Don’t get me wrong, I still get excited to watch the show everytime, but at this point I don’t see anything that could help Donald Trump raise ratings. I am sad to say that sometime in the future The Apprentice will be canceled and nobody will remember it anymore.

The winner of The Apprentice gets a job worth 100,000 dollars / euros and a “contract” for a year. It would seem that an apprentice might need more than a year’s worth under their master’s wing, but most winners of The Apprentice don’t seem to. Some don’t even spend the full year learning what their master knows. It makes me wonder, are these people really looking to be apprentices or are they looking to have a great job for a year?

Sir Alan Sugar in his british accent, repeatedly says, “this isn’t a game show”.. But I question wheither or not that is true. Contestants for both versions of The Apprentice work so hard to get the job and most of them leave afterwards. I understand the fact that an apprentice must go out and eventually discover the world for himself, but I do not feel that they can gain everything their master’s have to offer in just 1 year. Those that have left their masters have done so because they probably didn’t need their master’s help in the first place.

Either way these are just my observations. I still like The Apprentice, even if it is a “sham”.

As a fan of The Apprentice UK, I came across some really interesting trivia about the show. The best tid bits of trivia are below and the rest can be found at answers.com.

1. Michelle Dewberry, the winner of Series Two, has quit working for Alan Sugar to run her own company (which she was doing before winning The Apprentice). Shortly before her resignation, she miscarried a pregnancy. The father was a fellow contestant, Syed Ahmed.

See further reading “Yes we’re Apprentice parents” where Syed reveals, “Michelle and I ARE having a baby – and it was a real shock. I’d love her to be my wife and convert to Islam”.

2. All 14 candidates film their walk of shame at the beginning of the series, at the same time as the scene where they are all seen walking into the Amstrad building at the beginning of the first episode. This explains why when their exit sequence is shown after having been fired, their clothes are sometimes different to those worn in the boardroom scene.

3. The taxi ride after being fired only takes the candidate round the block to allow the chance of filming their taxi interview. They are then taken to a local hotel to stay the night and finally leave after packing their belongings from the house.

4. Although the audience is under the impression that the candidates have been living together for 12 weeks in the house, in fact shooting of the series is done over seven weeks.
