Know-How Exchange : Just for Fun

Actually, I quit watching it because I thought the people were obnoxious.

Next season sounds much more interesting!
My bet is on the street team. . .

We are about half way into season two here in NZ, i am not watching it because it is boring. Next season sounds like a good idea. I hope they don’t ruin it with all the dam advertising.

Street all the way

In season one, I was continually nagging that: If these 14 or 16 or whatever people are the prime selections from over a million applicants - we're in trouble. Then, I had to consider that these are the people that someone selected... (Trump? Someone working on his standards for selections?)

Then, ultimately, I'm left knowing that many participants were chosen simply for absurd, dramatic, melodramatic purposes - surely not for their resume of company-building skills.

Season two seemed slightly better on the quality of the players as a whole... but not much.

It's a personal thing. I'd much rather see all the business discussions that take place during the tasks, the application of their knowledge or skills, etc., rather than the melodramatic outtakes tailored for "good TV" (is there such a thing?)

What are the odds I'll ever see any of that?

Hi RM,

I watched about 8 episodes of Season 1 and only about 3 of Season 2, includng the finale (way too long).

However, the media kept me as updated as if I had watched the show anyway. NBC has way too much into this too not saturate every channel they are affiliated with.

Like Survivor after Season 1, the contestants in The Apprentice had an idea of how the game should be played. Conventional strategy could be cast aside. You will find this even more in Season 3 because the Street People will not have the Ivy League polish that pulled people like Kwame and Jennifer through.

Street vs. Book vs? Depends on how Mark Burnett and Trump want to manipulate it, not on the skills the contestants possess. I won't call it, I've been wrong on too many Survivor winners.

I didn't get to watch the Apprentice because here in Italy we could actually win a prize for the worst tv programming in the entire universe.

I followed it online every now and then and actually I like the premise. It may be contrived and Trump really is a walking billboard, but I believe The Apprentice still offers viewers a show that will let them use their "little grey cells" (as Monsieur Poirrot would say)!
