The Apprentice / The Celebrity Apprentice
« on: Jul 12, 2004 at 12:46 PM »
The Apprentice, the reality tv show of billionaire real estate/casino mogul Donald Trump has been picked-up by abc-5 to be aired every Monday at 8 pm. Pilot episode today. But I think this is season one.

There's only been one season so far, CrUzSACK.  ;)

For those who don't want to watch the show on a weekly basis, the 5-disc DVD boxed set of season one is due scheduled to be released on August 24th:

This show makes me wanna go back to work again!

Omarosa's not so bad, I think her being driven is misunderstood. I understand what she said about getting a strategy or a gameplan. But we're only 2 episodes down so I might take back what I say here. ;D

I never saw her on Oprah. I actually thought she was just b**chy and manipulative even until she was voted off. But:

[SPOILER FOR THOSE WATCHING ON ABC-5] When she came back and was clearly intentionally sabotaging Kwame, and lied to his face about the phone call over dinner without even batting an eye, I finally understood what all the Omarosa hatred and the Clairol boycott threat was about. [/SPOILER]

I call this show "Survivor for contestants with brains."

Apologies to Elisabeth Filarski.  ;D

My cousin bought the DVD set of the first season, and nearly freaked out when she opened the box and heard Donald Trump say "You're Fired!"--it seems there's some kind of audio chip thing inside the box that's triggered when you open the flap. It's a nice little gimmick, but doesn't justify the expensive price of the set.

Also, the DVD set is another casualty of music licensing (a famous example: Dawson's Creek): the episodes don't have the theme song heard on the original opening credits; some other song that's so out of place is used instead.  >:(

D'you guys know that Carolyn is only 35 and is the CEO (?) for The Donald's golf course empire? She started working for him when she was only 25. She is married and has a baby (by ceasarian section pa)......I pause and look to where am at in life, and she makes me feel like a totally useless loser! ;D I so adore this woman!

I find it funny that Caroyln has to  look grim just like her boss when they're at the boardroom.

Just a question: does The Donald have a bodyguard??? I haven't seen him with one on the show.

And, well, what do you know? Ivana Trump, his ex-wife, is set to host her own reality dating show!

The reaction so far to her [Carolyn Kempcher]? "Well, I'm getting some crazy reaction. It's very funny. People come up to me and say, 'You look just like that girl from The Apprentice.' "

Trump hired her the minute he met her during a property deal. "He's great. I've known him for almost 10 years, and after 10 years I still have a smile on my face. He's very demanding, very articulate. Every day is a new challenge."

Although she has had to juggle the show, along with running the golf clubs and finding time for her family (a husband, two young children and a home in Connecticut), she's ready for Apprentice's Round 2, too. Next season, she says, expect "perhaps some harder tasks." But don't expect a change in her attire, which was described by People magazine as "extra-prim": "I have to come across as very serious."

And in a dig to the female contestants who wore short skirts and high heels, she says, "Somebody in the boardroom had to wear business attire."

Yup, he has some Secret Service looking men around him. You wouldn't notice it though coz the camera rarely catches them and the players mostly meet The Donald in a crowded place in NY, so the bodyguards would be in the crowd.

But there was once instance where they were in a lonely street corner and Trump came out of his limo and a couple of Men in Black were seen in the background.

Carolyn looks a little like Lady Diana. And George looks young for a 70+ year old man.

i cannot believe that Carolyn's only 35! she looks so much older! (and you're right Cruz, a dead-ringer for Lady Di).

this show's my favorite Burnett production so far (they're in a rat race in the real and reel sense. i love it!). these people are playing for careers and not just 15 minutes of fame. Survivor lost its edge after season 3 for me so i really hope Apprentice doesn't lose its steam that quickly.

I was very surprised that The Donald chose to start the second season still dividing the teams into all-girls/all-boys. Fortunately, last week had a task that couldn't be won in any way by sex appeal. I hope this week's task is also non gender-biased.

OMG Carolyn is on fire in Season 2! Some due to editing, but regardless, she is one tough woman! One rule has been changed this season and it's a shocker in Episode 2 :o. Ganun pala magalit si Trump.  I'm hooked to The Apprentice. This is really "Survivor for contestants with brains". ;)

That was a really stupid firing, don't you think? The person deserved praise for the guts and skills, not to be fired!

Makes me think how arbitrary the results of show can be. It's also a la Survivor. You can be fired for doing nothing really wrong.

Trump's learning the Mark Burnet formula for reality TV: shock value = ratings.  ;D I didn't think it was a stupid move for Trump to fire the one person least expected to be fired, s/he allowed her/himself to be vulnerable. It was a stupid move for the Project Manager though....dead woman walking... ;D

I'm surprised that Trump didn't name his show Trumps' Apprentice[/i].  He names everything he owns with a "Trump"....Trump Tower, Trump Taj Majal, Trump Water (what's it called?), Trump Air...Trump this and that. ::)

Really? As an employer, would you have fired the same person for that reason alone?

In the game, probably yes. ;D

I'll put spoiler tags na lang....

Admittedly the person delivered what was needed to be delivered, he was good, but he let his guard down. He forgot that it was a job interview first, and then game, second. Didn't he say in the taxi confessional, he wanted to get to the good side of the other team members so he'd stay longer, that's why he gave up his immunity? He really didn't have to do that, he was already on the good side -- he performed the task well naman eh. Kaso malas niya, medyo lipad-utak nung project manager niya and included him in the Board Room. 

It's not a bad decision I suppose, it's okay to play hero naman in the game or get carried away and step up. It shows you have heart and compassion. But by doing that, he forgot one thing, and that is to make an impression on the 3 judges (Trump, Lolo George and Kick Ass Carolyn). And they're tough people to please, you never know. G & C probably didn't see it coming too, I was shocked myself but on hindsight....oo nga naman, kampante kasi masyado.

IRL, some business deals are lost because of being kampante...

But let's wait and see the Extended Boardroom episode, maybe Trump was really being too hard on him when he fired him....or maybe, it's Mark Burnett's School of Reality TV, who knows Bradley may be back in the next episodes as a twist. ;D

I know though that Ivana will not win this game. For one....the name. ;D  And for this project, she's showed that she's all theory and formulas and hypothesis (may chart pa siya! ;D), but no action. She'd make a good assistant, someone I'd want to be jotting down notes in the boardroom for me . But she will not make a good leader.

Donald Trump = Sore Loser

From Access Hollywood: "I think I was robbed. Everybody in that room thought The Apprentice was going to win and, as you know, the viewership was down for the Emmys. I really feel like they lost credibility. (The Amazing Race is) an okay show that doesn't do nearly the ratings (The Apprentice does), and that doesn't have the acclaim."

I call on all TAR/Apprentice fans to boycott The Apprentice in protest!  ::)

^ Kapal naman ni Trump. I guess if we follow his logic then the Oscars should be about who gets the highest box-office receipts and the Grammys should be about who sells the most albums..  ::)

I guess he hasn't learned the art of losing gracefully (clap for the winner and smile and nod as if to say "yeah, I knew they'd win, they deserve it")  Colin could probably teach him a thing or two.. ;D

Oooh...yabang. >:( In his disappointment, baka bilhin niya Emmy's and rename it to Trump's Emmy's. ;D Or with his billions of money, gumawa na lang kaya siya ng sarili niyang Awards Show.

But really, the Reality TV genre should have a separate awards show now, what with all these shows popping up on every tv slot there is. Then do something ala MTV Movie Awards:  Best Villain, Best Moment, Best Alliance blah blah...

Buti pa si Simon Cowell, when asked about TAR's win he said, "I guess they have a better show" or something like that and kept his mouth shut.

I have another reason to hope that TAR wins the Emmy's again next year.

You know, that reaction of The Donald is so typical of him. I'm not quite surprised that he actually said it. After all,  he has a tendency to exagerate and show-off. Beinging modest isn't one of his strong traits.
