I don’t know about you, PopWatchers, but I found last night’s episode of Celebrity Apprentice to be infuriating. Read the full post.

WE’RE DONE!!!!! What a waste of time watching 2 hours of drivel on April 5th and then having The Donald fire two people for totally arbitrary reasons unrelated to performance on the task. This show gets worse and worse and we’ll now spend our Sunday evenings doing something more productive like ‘watching paint dry’.
Ugh! Khloe was probably the least productive member on the team each week, but that was a BS reason to fire her. I was sort of hoping he’d fire Princess Attitude (Natalie), but it was sort of apparent that wouldn’t happen. “Clint, you have concerts to get back to, right? Natalie, you have a big golf thing you’d like to attend? Khloe, you have… um…”
I am in All’s target demo, and I use All. However, those execs were complete idiots, and devoid of personality to boot. OK, they want a viral video. COMPLETELY IGNORING that the harder you try to make something viral, the LESS likely it will BE viral… especially since it’s a commercial… and since they’re basically stereotyping their target demo as humourless shrews, it’s damned from the outset. “Make a viral commercial, but strip it of anything viral.” REALLY? I mean, seriously – I’m 27, female, in their target demo, and if that’s what All thinks of me as a consumer, maybe I’ll be buying something else.
WHAT A WASTE OF TWO HOURS! I am now convinced the show is rigged. OK to put on Rodman and his alchol-related antics, but The Donald showed his Trump hand last night — the show is fixed! Clint Black needs to stuff his black hat in his mouth and listen a little!
I thought Clint’s initial premise was cute. Married couple with kids, referring to it as “the wash” so their kids don’t catch on.
However, he executed it really terribly. Changing “the wash” to “dirty laundry” didn’t work. “The wash” works because it’s innocuous, “dirty laundry” is less so. Also, what would’ve been the point of using “dirty laundry” as a cover story if there were no kids around?
I’m telling you, man. Stick with “the wash”. Use a more normal looking wife. Add some kids. Have the dad walk in with a bottle of All and a big smile, and talk about how much he loves doing “the wash”. Mom grabs the bottle, rolls her eyes and smiles, says they’ll do “the wash” after the kids go to bed. Shorts of doing dishes, bathing kids, getting them into bed. Mom in bed looking tired, dad comes in, mom asks if they can do “the wash” tomorrow, dad says his line.
Clint, someone should smack you for the book and kleenex. Mostly the book.
I agree what a waste of two hours. Khloe’s DUI has nothing to do with the show and she’s been to court admitted she made a mistake and is making amends. I thought Donald was in to second chances isn’t that what he said about Miss America and rehab. Clint Black needed to be fired I guess Donald was looking to get rid of some of the women. Well it work because I’m gone. I’m firing myself from having to watch it anymore.
That was the biggest waste of two hours I’ve ever seen. Why bother having tasks if Trump already knows who he wants to fire from teh get-go? Khloe’s DUI was just an excuse to keep Clint on for THE DRAMA. Meanwhile, Dennis Rodman chugs down alcohol for episode after episode with no consequences until there was no choice but to fire him. Unfortunately for Khloe she’s (1) not a sports star and (2)female, so Trump isn’t willing to give her the benefit of a doubt.
This program has become strange on sooo many levels. I also have difficulty understanding the ending of this 2 hour testimony to Trump’s power! It should be more evident to the competitors that Trump has his favorites and they are well protected since he makes all the decisions. I understand how fathers want their children involved in the family business but please!! It seemed that Ivanka was as shocked as anyone but could never express her own opinion about it. Can no longer watch this foolishness!!
I don’t usually care what happen’s but I though last night’s result’s were pure bull crap. I thought since the ad people didn’t like what was done Trump should have picked the winner which by far should have been Athena. That team worked well together and showed unity and no one on that team should have been fired because of performance. On the other hand I thought Kotu’s/Clint Blacks sick thought’s were the most disgusting thing and shouldn’t have been aired. Now we know where Clint’s mind is in the gutter and women are second class to him. Trump finding Rodman’s drunken stupidity on the show funny and firing a women for something that happened long ago shows he thinks women are second class also. Khloe should never have been fired for something that had nothing to do with the show is unforgivable and I will not watch this show again. Trump should do the right thing and apologize to Khloe for his comments which should have been done in private. Will not watch this show again.
After being a faithful watcher for many seasons, I boycotted the show after the Rosy/Donald feud. Last night I tuned in for the first time since then and had a front row seat at the reason I stopped watching in the first place—the Donald being arrogant and self-righteous as if he invented morals. I’m so over this show.
I’ve watched the show every season… TRUMP, you made a huge mistake with your fans. I don’t know if you’re trying to hammer down the “I can do whatever I want because my name is Donald Trump” thing but it left entertainment last night and went into shameful. I wasted my time watching this episode. Who cares who/how/when they made this video? I will NEVER watch this show again.
TERRIBLE.
Trump is pig. Asking what the girls thought of the model’s body!! This show is so fixed..how does it stay on!!He is perverted.
Khloe’s DUI should have never been mentioned. It had nothing to do with the show. She just happen to give him a truthful excuse for her absence and he used it against her. Client shoud have been the one to go. Had she gotten drunk during the task like Dennis did then I could understand it. For whatever reason he wanted to keep Client (out numbered by too many women). It was not right. I won’t watch the show again.
I fell asleep last night before the board room. What a shock to find Clint still present.
Good grief those were lame videos! They had all that time and money and thats what they came up with? Jesse should have gone naked, now THAT would have been viral.
If you fell asleep then you missed how petty and cruel Trump was firing Chloe, basically telling her the only reason he was firing her was because she had a DUI and he sits in judgement! Wow, that was beyond harsh.
