'Celebrity Apprentice': Second Date Disappointment
Oh, the first kiss was so great. Maybe because of Gene Simmons, but we won't go there. But the Celeb Apprentice went so pedestrian tonight.
First of all, the Rolodex problem is apparently solved by the idea of needing to do an insta-commercial with no time to recruit outside fabulousness. Can we say that we missed outside fabulousness? We were so hoping that the whole Alec Baldwin showcase was happening, given that Stephen is so self-in-love and will only last as long as the boys last which, however, it appears, might be . . . awhile.
To wit: In the new task, the men once again used their own celeb fabulousness to sell: In this case, Lennox Lewis lying on the floor with a drooling doggy and Trace Adkins doing a voice-over that should get him a second career stat (really, I don't listen to country and I didn't know much about him until I did my Google due diligence for this show, but yowser!!!!!). So even though the women did way more work and stuff and talked to the client, they still failed (sigh).
Priceless moment of moments: The Donald showing both commercials head-to-head in the boardroom and Omarosa (Omarosa!!!) cracks a smile at Lennox on the floor with the dog. I mean, really? How can the guys not win?
Disappointment(s) of the night: Not enough Omarosa to have a hating moment. Not enought Omarosa to have a put-down worthy moment. And Gene Simmons morphed into annoying in one fell swoop. Damn! He was so funny last week; this week, he was so . . . self-obnoxious (is that a term?).
The Donald fired Nadia Comaneci, who, for the record, was my childhood hero, being a gymnast and all, but if the firing indicates anything, I'd say it's that The Donald is going to kick out the most boring, non-talkative contestants each week. On this task, Nadia agreed to be the sandwich girl. Ack. Gone.
P.S. Note to producers: Ya didnt' have squat from Vincent Pastore this week. Really. Are you that dumb?

I didn't see week one, but tuned in last night and there was Omorosa! We have reached a new level of ridiculousness. She's a "celebrity" by virtue of being a jerk in a earlier incarnation of this show? Time to turn the radio back on on Thursdays.

I hope the women have finally learned that they need to use their celebrity power to win. I know the women are probably thinking that they need to show off their business sense but The Donald has made it clear that he wants them to use their celebrity power.
I think MaryLu or the team leader (I forget her name) should have been voted off because they were mainly responsible for the bad commercial.

Can we agree to stop calling Donald Trulmp The Donald? It was semi-clever years ago, but has gotten soooo tiring. And unnecessary. I may be wrong, but I think his ego will survive without it.
