PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

"Who else is tired of this show?" |
I am done with watching the Donald treat people like shite, editing make them all look like a bunch of idiots (or worse yet, casting intentionally picking idiots), bad tasks, excessive negativity and unentertaining finales. Most of all, I am tired of watching a show that the entire point of which consists of tearing other people down and making them look bad. Their is no positive redemptive aspect to this show IMHO.I will not be by the channel for next season. Anyone else fed up with this show? 
I just don't find it interesting or compelling anymore.

3. "RE: Who else is tired of this show?" |
The novelty is gone. During the first season, it really felt like a once in a lifetime opportunity to work for Donald Trump. Now that he's done 3 seasons back to back to back and handed out 3 jobs, it just doesn't seem like that big a deal anymore. Working for Trump should seem like an exclusive club, but now he looks like he's giving positions out to any schlub who passes a screen test.If they had gone to Martha immediately after season 1 (a different CEO might create a new sense of anticipation), then back to Donald for season 3, that might have worked a little better. Combine that with the ridiculous casting for season 3, and it's hard for me to get excited about either Martha's OR Donald's version. I think that if Season 4 is cast with able-minded professionals and not a bunch of misfit clowns like last time, the show can be saved. The format is generally pretty good, but the contestants are the reasons we watch. If the candidates are compelling, I may give it another shot. If it's a bunch of Danny's and Michael's again, I may go read a book.

I have not watched the Donald since season One. I only come to this board now because of the pending Martha show.

Me, me, me.I'm going to watch Martha because I hope it will be centered around domestic stuff, and I'm looking for some sort of redemption for Wickedly Perfect. I m a y -- using that term loosely watch DAprentice for one or two episodes, but I will not suffer through another one like 3.
Yep, it's a Bob!

Definitely not going to be watching this show. I'll be a Survivor fan only this fall. I enjoyed season 1, season 2 was ok, season 3 was hideous.

Randal is a loser and he isn't that attractive. His resume said he was a champion track and field athlete, but he let some white guy and some white girl out run him!! HAHAHAHAHA... as for all his college degrees and schools... can't he make up his mind what he wants or is that Affirmative action in progress? The problem I have with most of these candidates is that most of them are "CEO's" and multi-millionaires... Why would anyone with those credentials want to work for a measily $250K, when, remember, they were making/work millions before? I think this show would be more interesting if you had "normal" people making 100K trying to get that $250K job....

Actually, it makes sense for people running a business to go on the Apprentice. Not only is it a good advertisment (eg. Is Sandy's Birdal Salon doing much better after she appeared on teh Apprentice?), but if the winner works for Donald Trump for 1 or 2 years, s/he might build up a great connections that will dramatically help his/her business later on.

I am a fan of the show I could careless about DT acting the way he has because he always has been this way. IT's the way of the world, you had the two other billionaire shows tank they seemed to be nicer people but the idfference they were cold when they had to be they only showed oneside. DT let's it all hangout, like last night when he allow one of the apprentices to use his helicopter for the funeral. You can say what you want but those they can do.
I just hate how the camera works us into favor one over another. Actually everything we have feared about seeing people as people and recognizing the inside of people is being shot to hell. Last night boardroom perfect example.

Count me as one of those tired of the Apprentice series. Shake something up. Reinvent SOMETHING. After Tivo-ing the Trump Apprentice, I found myself fast forwarding through it. Saw it already; very familiar....ZZZZZZZ. Same with Martha Stewart. Same concept, but still boring.

I enjoy both shows very much. JMO but you can't make people that are suppose to be smart and educated look stupid. They do that just fine on their own. If some of them could learn to work together, the women, things would be a little better. They have this chance to have a great job, but can't get along and work together to get it or even close to getting it. JMHO!

30. "Why I love the SHOW!!!!!!!!!" |
The adventures with Donald amuse me. The in-fighting I find funny and it amuses me. The silly childish antics of these good looking young UBER executives amuses me.
These people are here for my TV watching amusement. I dont care about them and I have no meaningful feelings about people on a box with sound. Toral was a silly geek and it amused me to watch her act like a idiot.And then she got sent home and it amused me.
Its supposed to amuse you....not reflect some kind of moral and just society.
Just watch it and laugh and then go to bed.

32. "It's all Martha's fault" |
Trump claims that the slump in the ratings are down because "I think it probably hurt mine, and I sort of predicted that it would because there was a lot of confusion people that wanted to watch 'The Apprentice.'"So now even the viewers are too stupid to know the difference between Wednesday and Thursday. It couldn't have ANYTHING to do with the fact that the show is stale, DT is a blowhard and people have just stopped watching. That COULDN'T be why ratings are down 40%. 
I already know you don't, but I REALLY want to believe you look like the Pringles guy. J Slice

35. "RE: It's all Martha's fault (and how to fix the show)" |
There is something just absolutely ironic that before Martha's show aired Trump was very confident that she was the best and the second the ratings slide he's throwing her under the bus. You could say that he is no different than any of his little apprentices on the show. Trying to deflect responsibility for failure onto someone else. I personally don't tire of Trump but I find there are some major flaws to the show that just weren't present the first time. A) I agree the man vs. woman thing has been played out. It is a gimmick and its time has come.
B) The corporate whoring has just made the show one long commercial. At first I thought it would be interesting to tie the challenges the people had to do to the real world but I think in the end it doesn't work. If they wanted to find real creativity they should have more creative challenges. Like selling lemonade on the street again.
C) I'll be honest the best part of the show is the boardroom. I don't care about the challenges and who wins. In the end it isn't like I'm going to learn some fantastic marketing ploy that I can use in my job, especially since I don't have any need for marketing in my job. During season 2 I saw the repeat version of the show that they would run on Bravo. It was a 20-minute recap of the challenge and then the rest of the show was a battle in the boardroom for survival. I find it amazing how if you give people a little rope they will indeed hang themselves. That’s my 2 cents

LAST EDITED ON 10-21-05 AT 09:36 PM (EST)I still like the show. I loved the first season. Intelligent, likeable, decent (most!) people. The second season was interesting until it started to get so very ugly - The Donald, the contestants, the gross, ridiculous, scripted finale. Season 3 was a disaster - I can meet mediocre people at work, thank you! Season 4 promises a better class of people, especially Randle. That guy is not only smart (Rhodes scholar, no less!) but as we saw in the suite scene with Kristi, he is a gentleman who is a diplomat, as well. I am very impressed with him.

34. "RE: Who else is tired of this show?" |
LAST EDITED ON 10-23-05 AT 06:56 PM (EST)Me!!! And it has nothing to do with Martha's show. It has to do with Trump. 1. I hate the men vs. women thing. It's been done to death. It's boring. It's tired. 2. I hate the blatant corporate whoring. I like it when they have to come up with creative ideas, not do chores that are clearly out of 99% of the business population's area of expertise. 3. I loathe Donald's inconsistency in what he will and won't tolerate from people. He's an ass. 4. I'm tired of the Donald-love-fest and his obsession to show us all how important he is. 5. I'm tired of gold-plated tackiness. 6. I'm tired of the yelling and screaming that is allowed to go on in the boardroom as if that is somehow the way that adults solve their problems in the business world. And then to have the loudest yeller rewarded? WTF ever. I watched about 1.5 episodes this season and I'm done. The end of last year pretty much wiped me out with Tanna the Terrible grating on my nerves. The Apprentice's biggest problems is TRUMP'S overexposure. Martha has nothing to do with it, IMO. I might actually watch her show if I ever remembered that it was on.  Miscellaneous Ramblings
--sometimes it's best to accept when an idea has run its course and The Apprentice has. They should have kept it to a once a year thing and it might have lasted longer aka American Idol.

I do have a question about the whole Donald sucking. Obviously from what people wrote there is a huge dissatisfaction with Donald but is that exasberated (my spell check is broke so forgive me) by all the other faults of the show. If the corporate whoring was out, the men vs. woman thing out, more interesting characters back in, would the loathesome Donald be tolerated?
