"Celebrity Apprentice": I Just Couldn't Help Myself

I guess curiosity got the best of me.

Why else would I watch the premiere of “Celebrity Apprentice”?

I mean, there are so many things wrong with this show, it’s hard to note them all…

Like Donald Trump saying that over 100 celebrities wanted to be on the show. If these are the celebrities he picked, who did he reject?

Or like the entire point of the tasks, which are apparently just a test of celebrity.

Even the firing was pointless as the only excuse Trump could come up with for firing the Playboy Playmate was because she didn’t call Hugh Hefner and ask him to buy a hot dog…

Okay…

But the biggest problem with the show can be summed up in one word—Omarosa.

I was a fan of the first season of “The Apprentice” when Omarosa made things a little more interesting with her over-the-top behavior. But now that act is REALLY tired as Omarosa struggles to find ways to grab the spotlight.

And apparently her writer is on strike as well, because at one point the only comeback she had for Piers Morgan was that he wasn’t pronouncing her name right—even though he was saying it exactly the way everyone else was.

If this were an actual game of “The Apprentice,” it might be interesting. But this game of “let’s see which celebrity has the better contacts” is just plain stupid…

“Celebrity Apprentice” airs Thursdays at 10 p.m. on NBC…
