When this show was first announced TV critics across the Net groaned and rolled their eyes. Surreal Life jokes were on everyone’s lips and fingertips. Many thought this was the last gasp of a dying show. Celebrity Apprentice surprised a lot of people though, myself included. It has been garnering some pretty decent ratings and I’m happy to report is actually really entertaining. What was initially seen as desperate attempt to keep The Apprentice alive has breathed new life into the franchise.
Celebrity Apprentice has been such an unexpected success that NBC has announced that it has already decided to pick up Celebrity Apprentice for a second season. I think thats great news. Much to my own surprise I have been enjoying Celebrity Apprentice a lot. The stars get some extra publicity and all the prize money goes to charity so everyone wins. Donald Trump seems to have done it again. Granted, some of the stars were a little weak especially on the women’s team, but Gene Simmons, Stephen Baldwin, and Piers Morgan have been great fun to watch. I was disappointed when Gene essentially committed board room suicide two weeks ago. I know I’ve been watching it every week and I’ll do it again when the second season starts.
