The Apprentice USA

"The Apprentice USA" is an American reality TV show running in same format as the British version. The show is about group of contestants trying to please a bloke with weird blond hair looking like a wig, but it isn't actually a wig. Seriously, I don't get it why wouldn't he do something about his hair? Probably it is something he wants people to remember him for. Like Chuck Norris's fist-shaped chin or Barbra Streisand's enormous nose. Mr. Trump if you reading this please put a hat on or something next time you are on television.

  Larry King confirms: "It ain't a wig"
Consider yourself lucky Larry. But if he saw that...  


...before you made fun out of his hair, surely he would smack you in the face.

  Watching "The Apprentice USA" couldn't help but think how it's all scripted. Fake. Not entirely everything, but when it comes to making a decision whom to fire I get strange feeling it was decided beforehand. Or maybe it just my trust for this programme is shattered since I found out that for British version they film two final episodes with both remaining contestants winning. Yes both. And then make their decision, which one of them to air, based on contestants acting skills on how they react to finding out that they won in order to amplify dramatic impact on audience. Then they go to Alan Sugar’s company for probation which lasts for three months. After three months he decides whether to keep them or not. It's entirely up to him fire both or keep one. I’d do the same thing if I was him. I wouldn’t give a job to somebody who won a TV show. I would want to see them out there in real world before employing. Fair play Lord of Sugar.

What's the deal with losing team sleeping in tents outside? Why would you want your future apprentice to sleep in a garden? Humiliation for entertaintment is fun indeed so shall we call this show "The Clownentice" then? Think so.
