Is 'The Celebrity Apprentice' the silliest show ever?

I simply couldn’t go the whole day without somehow calling attention to Bret Michaels’ glistening heavage during confessional shots on last night’s Celebrity Apprentice. EWWWW.com. What makes it even crueler is that you can see buttons on a different layer of clothing than the one committing the heavage foul. His conscious choice to display heavage is thrice removed from the heavage itself. Four times removed if you count his weave-enabling bandana! And “diabeet-uhs” must have something to do with this, so I’m going to blame that, too.

In his extensive recap of last night’s Celebrity Apprentice premiere, Dalton Ross argues that Trump’s stars-out-of-their-element series is “the silliest show ever.” Though Dalton’s argument is valid in a “Sinbad, could you get me a soda?” type of way, (“It doesn’t come close to making sense on any level whatsoever — and that’s precisely why it’s so damn entertaining”), my gut instinct tells me Dancing With the Stars falls into the same category, and is maybe even a bit sillier, if only on a visual levelBret Michaels’ above heavage offense would be not only wildly endorsed by DWTS fans, but emulated, and then some, by every male dance pro. And let’s face it: My gut also wanted to try that $5,000 cream-of-some-young-guy risotto or whatever team Hard Penis was planning last night, so maybe I’m just being…silly.

What is the most ridiculous show you watch? And would you watch three hours of it instead of two?

  • ALEX P. KEATON WOULD WIN THIS SHOW EASILY

    This show is ROTTEN, but not the silliest. That distinction belongs to “Minute to Win It” – give every jerk and their sister a national audience to prove how dumb they are. Reality tv/these awful game shows where people talk for extended amounts of time need to stop. I blame Regis

  • Nick

    I’d say Big Brother is the most ridiculous show I watch. It’s dumb, but I still love it.

  • Luddite

    Can we stop with the man-specific words? Heavage, mantrums, manny, murse…are we worried that men will feel emasculated if the actual word is used? Because that’s pretty dumb and pretty misogynistic. Please. They aren’t cute. They were never cute.

  • Stephanie T.

    I say bring back the original version of this show. The Celebrity one is pure cheddar.

  • Rocky

    I will admit that I would let Bret Michaels, Curtis Stone, and that bald wrestler take me underneath a walking bridge ans treat me like naughty babysitter. Too Much?? Ah bite me…please1 (See what I did there?)

  • Heather

    Well, I thought the show was entertaining. I wanted to see Bret (met him, very nice guy) and my former guv Rod B. It would’ve been better if they were not allowed to call people up to give donations. I would like to see them really earn the money.

  • Madd

    Have you forgotten Skating With Celebrities?

  • Gregory

    Yes, the worse show ever should be
    taken out of the air and soon!!!!

  • Mr. Obvious

    All of these Pseudo “reality” shows, Apprentice, Dancing with Pretentious People, Survivor, Slut Plus Eight, the list is endless, need to go the way of the Dodo bird.

  • Mark

    Blago??? PLease. The rest are pure trailor T too.

  • Mr. Obvious

    Hey Mark, That would be “trailer” T, to those of us who were not home schooled.

  • Merges

    Silly or not, let us not forget how much money they actually raise for charity. And, wasn’t it just hysterical watching Blago press the flesh, pleading his case? You just can’t make something like that up!!!

  • jonnyr51

    Minute to Win-it has come on strong to capture silliest/most worthless tv viewing. Big Brother, then Survivor close by.
    I find the Apprentice format interesting, always have. It all depends on the skill and intelligence of the players. Cyndi Lauper has not much of either but the boys showed their smack – not a real weak link in the bunch. But I agree – two hours is one too many.

  • Diana Fetterman

    I think Marriage Ref is the most stupid series on TV. I watched the first show and tried to watch another episode and just cringed to see the celebrities who must be desperate to be on this silly show.

  • talulah

    The show is really about who can call up the most friends with money. Boring.
