Re: Celebrity Apprentice season 2
That was brutal. I had no plans to watch it, but happened to turn the TV on and it was on that channel. I rewound since it was in the DVR cache but ended up fast forwarding through pretty much most of it. I think I watched the two hours in less than 10 minutes. I was actually surprised though that Trump didn't can Herschel Walker since he brings nothing to the table ratings-wise. The show will suffer without Dice.

Re: Celebrity Apprentice season 2
Dice was an unmanageable, loose cannon. He had to go.As for Rodman, I consider him "salvageable". But he'd better shape up real fast!
My biggest surprise was fellow canuck Tom Green. Despite his many years of crazy antics (which included humping a dead moose by the side of the road), he actually pulled through, doing everything possible to get the job done. It'll be interesting to see what happens when (if) he becomes team leader.

Not sure why you would say that Herschel Walker brings nothing to the table ratings-wise, since he is the reason I'm watching this show.

Had no idea Annie Duke was such an annoying bitch.She creates so much tension, unless she's careful, she'll be the first to go when Athena loses.

Re: Celebrity Apprentice season 2
I was hoping Herschel would get canned over Dice because, to be perfectly honest, Dice is a helluva lot more entertaining. I'd much rather watch him stir it up every week than see Herschel who, as Scott said, was a complete bore."If you're good at something, never do it for free."

Re: Celebrity Apprentice season 2
This is my first Apprentice season.The reason I wanted to watch it was because of
Tom Green, Dennis Rodman and Dice Clay.
I just new there would be interesting conflict and zaniness with those guys on.
I was sad to see Clay go, because there goes most of the interesting conflicts(on the mens side)
But I think Clay was pretty much of an unmanageable person.
I thought it was funny how he was hitting on Trump's secretary Amanda.
And I was really tired of his pompous attitude and thinking he was king of celebrities, with his I can sell out stadiums speech.
The poker chick, Annie Duke was really annoying.
I'm sure there will be future conflict with her and Joan Rivers and Claudia Jordan.
I will also second the statement that I was surprised on how well and serious that Tom Green was. I think he would make a better team leader.

Re: Celebrity Apprentice season 2
I wonder if that was a spoiler when they showed Joan Rivers crying at the war room table in the preview for next week.I think Annie Duke will eventually wedge her way into Project Manager, and that will be her demise, since none of the girls can stand her.
Dice was definitely a ratings grabber, but he directly insulted Trump more than once, and Trump is just as arrogant as Dice, so I'm not surprised he fired him.

Re: Celebrity Apprentice season 2
interesting that folks would rather see 'entertaining' people stay vs. those that are truly competent to complete a job......i guess that i am in the minority of people that want to see coherent competent teams complete a task to the best of their capabilities. that is why i wish they would return to casting non-celebrities to the show.
listen with your own ears...
watch with your own eyes...
make your own decision.

That's the thing. If it was back to the old format of "non-celebrities" I'd rather see the more competent people in the mix. With Celebrity Apprentice, however, it's a completely different animal and I want the more colorful and entertaining celebs to stay on the show longer. Other that Univ. of Georgia fans, I can't imagine how anyone would rather watch Herschel Walker over Dice on the show.

Re: Celebrity Apprentice season 2
I guess I'm in the minority too. When I first saw the commercials and saw all the yelling and insults I thought, "what a waste of airtime". I guess Donnie is getting a little low on cash flow. My wife wanted to see it so I watched it with her, but I don't plan on watching any more.

Tom Green might be annoying because he is very opinionated, but no way should anyone be fired but Scott for that horrible EEE name.

I agree with this statement. The task this week was great because it didn't involve selling a product, which always seems to end up a contest of which team has more generous friends.

All I can say it that this episode was almost painful to watch. Way too many chiefs.

Totally agree. That was just a horrible idea on his part and he had to take the fall for it.

Re: Celebrity Apprentice season 2
I wonder how Jesse James feels about being called "adorable" by Scott Hamilton?
Last nights episode was a train wreck for sure, but I found myself siding with the people I didn't think I would. Tom Green is annoying as hell, but he was right.
I don't really like anyone on the women's team. The only one I would like to see win on the men's team would be Jesse.

Me too. He's the only real, down to earth guy on their team. As for the women, I'd like to see Natalie and Brande go far in the game(for obvious reasons).

Same here. Ooooooooooh!
Was looking forward to lots more of Dice putting his foot in his mouth.

So is Tom Green putting on the dress for show? Or does that also mean he's next week's team leader?It's time to put up or shut up!

Re: Celebrity Apprentice season 2
Didn't think there was anyone more annoying than Annie Duke this time around, but Clint Black now takes that spot. Does the guy ever shut up and quit talking over everyone else? Obviously some manipulative editing like Survivor, but it sure made him look like an ass.I thought the men were doomed once that lame EEE name came out. Loved Tom Green's comment about it sounding like a bra size.
The men had a better idea and much better presentation than the women, but EEE finished them off. Nobody to blame for that but Scotty. He had to go.
Definitely prefer challenges like this, even though this one sucked. But at least they can't just call up their buddies with large wallets and buy their way to victory.

I don't follow that- did you know most of us watch TV for entertainment?
Did you realize this show is not about hiring a competent person, like the non-celeb Apprentice was?

Re: Celebrity Apprentice season 2
Do you think the regular apprentice will return? Does anyone know why they are cramming a one hour episode into 2 hours? 2 hours of this ir really too long.I agree with the others Scott absolutley had to go for the EEE name. Also the team had no direction whatsoever from the start. Unless it was edited out I didn't see them sit down and try to decide what needed to be done and who was going to do what. It seemed that most of the team was just sitting around most of the time while Scott and Clint kind of worked together. And what about Herchel telling Tom to shet up. Tom seemed to be the only one with any good ideas and he was completely poo pooed by Scott and then to add insult after telling him to be quiet and not listening to anything he had to say they dumped the presentation on him at the last second. Surprised Tom didn't bring that up in the boardroom.

I'm rooting for Tom & Jesse at this point. Clint is really rubbing me the wrong way for some reason. Hopefully is ass is next to take the elevator. I couldn't care any less about any of those women.

That's the opposite of cramming, which would be making the episode too short.
Obviously NBC wanted to fill 2 hours instead of 1. It probably doesn't cost that much more to make a 2-hr episode since they are already filming everything- wonder how much more NBC pays vs a 1-hr show. I doubt it is double.
Trump was on a talk show recently and said all the episodes were 2 hours this season. But then this weekend due to the premiere of Kings, it is only 1 hour... so I guess he means most of them are 2 hours, not all.
