i was just having a similar discussion with someone else. i am entertained by seeing the most competent team win. that is why i can sit down during any part of any season of 'the amazing race' and be entertained. that show is truly about who is the best.
i haven't watched 'survivor' in years because that show stopped being about who was the best after the 4 iteration.
although i am watching this seaon of 'the apprentice' i liken it to a jerry springer show. a show that i despise.
i also think that the show would do really well if there were teams of competent celebrities that participated. andrew dice clay. rodman. gtfo!
perhaps i am in the minority but i would still watch.
and one more thing. they need to get rid of the celebrity donors. that is a crock. they also need to get rid of the 'sudden bonus money' in the middle of a challenge.
leave it at is most base element and let's see where the real talent lies.

totally agree with the spirit of your message. but i think you meant expanding 1 hour into 2 hours. absolutely not necessary for this show.
thank the maker for dvr's.
another show that is guilty of this is 'the biggest loser.'

Re: Celebrity Apprentice season 2
No way I'd sit through 2 hours of the show in "real time". With the DVR, I'm usually able to finish off a 2 hr. episode in about a little more than an hour. Hell, the first 10-12 minutes of last week's Apprentice were a recap of the previous show.

you obviously didn't get the intent of my message.
more money for charity is a good thing.
pulling out your rolodex to win one of the challenges doesn't make a better team or a better television show. there should be a way to do do that while at the same time minimizing the way it effects how a challenge is completed.

Re: Celebrity Apprentice season 2
I wonder if Dice wanted to be kicked off quickly. I can't see him wanting to be on the show for too long. But, he is on long enough to get people talking about him again.
Bring back John Doe! Or at least resolve the cliff-hanger with a 2hr movie or as an extra on a dvd release.

Dice was still more "entertaining" than Herschel and that's kinda the point of the show......to entertain. To each their own.

to each his own really applies here.
some people are entertained by people making asses of themselves.
other people are entertained by seeing a team come together to make a cohesive strategy to best another team.
ymmv.

My favorite part in the boardroom was when Melissa quietly (it was subtitled) asked her mother, who didn't really have anything to do with the discussion, to jump in on her argument with Claudia.

Re: Celebrity Apprentice season 2
I was glad to see Claudia get the boot. She seems like a real witch and it wasn't just last night's episode giving me that opinion of her. Every week she had nasty comments about someone and I was getting really tired of her obnoxious attitude. Run on back to Deal or No Deal, sweetheart.

. Thought that one was a little more wide spread, but oh well, why bring up the past (almost 30 years ago). Bottom line there just isn't any more to these tasks than had been seen in previous seasons in 1 hour episodes. The finales were usually 2 hrs and there was a lot more to do. How long can they continue to show Dennis doing nothing and Annie taking over every conversation and task she can? It just drags a bit at 2 hours.
