The new edition of The burned out Apprentice show helmed (hosted) by none other than Mr. Self Promotion Donald Trump has actually got some pretty good TV moments in store if you, like me, had burned out on the show after the great first season.  Even though the first season did drag on too long, with Bill Rancik winning (by the way, he’s now hitched to a popular entertainment tv host), it was an innovative idea, thought of by none other than the pioneer of reality tv himself, who was also behind Survivor and several other British reality tv shows.

As it looked like the Apprentice would surely be cancelled, Mr. Trump, or his producers, seemed to pull another new trick out of their hat that has reportedly had the show renewed for another season, one of the oldest tricks in the book, to get celebrities on the show and watch them go at it just like the regular folks do, maybe even worse. 

This is a good idea, because if you think about it, most celebrities have big egos and already have certain ideas about how they should be treated and talked to, and throwing them into this kind of situation, where brains and resources really are all that back you up, was an interesting study in human “pack” mentality.

Throw in some eccentricity, like they did in casting Stephen Baldwin, a born again Christian, Gene Simmons, and the guy from the Sopranos who played Big Pussy who apparently believes the he is really a part of the mob in real life, and you’ve got one entertaining show.  Oh, he was also smart enough to recast another of the most reknown tv villains, Omarosa, who was the villain of all villains in season one with her primadonna ways and conniving backstabbing. 

The new Celebrity Apprentice leaves you waiting for the next season, to see which egos will butt heads this week.  It’s definitely interesting, and I’d recommend that anyone who wants to see heads butt and egos clash try to watch this scintillating bit of guilty pleasure tv.
