"Who should they cast in season 2?"
Posted by Cathy the Canadian on 03-21-08 at 11:23 AM
I heard they're definitely doing a second season of Celebrity Apprentice - who would you like to see compete?

I was thinking Pam Anderson might be interesting. I think she's B list enough now to be interested, and might want to show she has some brains as well as boobs.

Sharon Osbourne seems like an obvious choice. I think this would be right up her alley.

I was surprised by the celebs they got for this season, and I hope they can continue to get good people, or this could turn into The Surreal Life in an office setting. Ugh. Having said that, I think some Surreal Lifers might be good - Vanilla Ice , and Christopher Knight aka Peter Brady come to mind.

I was skeptical about this concept, but I have to say, I've enjoyed this season probably more than any other. It's great that it's all for charity, and I was so surprised by how the celebs were just like any other contestants. They're all intimidated, and bow down to Trump, just like regular contestants, And I thought they would all be so self conscious of their images, that nothing exciting would happen - not so! They make asses of themselves, just like anyone else! Haha.

I just want more celebrities that I recognize. Especially on the female side. Considering Donald wanted to split them up men vs women he really never made it a fair fight. The males were more famous and then he had all these challenges where they needed rich/famous connections. The women were at a disadvantage. So hopefully he does not do the gender thing next season.

I don't care if they are A B or C list celebs. I just want someone that I recognize. They could be someone famous from generations past. But at least make them well-known.

And please NO OMAROSA.

**I agree, I actually didn't know about half of the celebrities this season.

If it's all about the money for charity, I want Jerry Lewis on my team!

Otherwise:
Simon Cowell-the token Brit.
George Foreman-the token fighter
Jaclyn Smith-token model, and easy on the eyes.
Melissa Gilbert-give her a break from Lifetime
Emilio Estevez-comes from a big family name like Baldwin

Great suggestions Aquariaqueen! Except for Simon, I could see all of them being interested.

I know what I don't want to see - no more reality TV stars, aka Omarossa's.

Christie Brinkley would also be good for the token older model this time.

Christie can take the model spot.
We'll use Jaclyn for Marilu!

as long as Omarosa is nowhere to be found ... she's worthless as breasts on a boar

Cybil Shepard for the model maybe? She would have a load of Hollywood types from her acting days at her fingertips.

We'll put her on the list!!!

Yup, I like Cybil Shepard. Made me think of some other aging women - How about Olivia Newton John and Cher?

Since I don't think Simon Cowel would be interested, what other foreigners can we think of? How about Fabio?

Athletes - How about Anna Kournikova (I don't know if that's how you spell her name...but close enough!)

Sorry, I won't be able to allow OJ, he's too busy looking for the person who killed his children's mother.

Ryan Seacrest

Charlie Sheen

Michael Jordan

How about a newscaster or weatherman? Who do you think would be the most recognizeable and best celebrity apprentice?

Here are a few I've tossed around:
Bryant Gumble-either he OR his sports caster brother would be good.

I know someone said no more reality show people, but Rob and Amber or Rob alone would be a hoot, and he does know people, and people know him, too!

As far as pretty girls, yes, Jaqueline Smith or Jaqueline Bissette would be great, and better known then a few of the women that we had this year.

Athletes? Leila Alli comes to mind. She was GREAT in DWTS, and I think she could hood-wink a few people/celebrities into forking over some money, too. Besides, she's a babe! How about throwing in a Spice Girl for the fun of it, too?

If you must have a 'D' lister, Kathy Griffin would show up, I'm sure. Even though I personaly can't stand her, after her comment about Jesus, but whatever. I'd love to see her smashed and fired the first episode. Or not. Maybe she could do something worthwhile for a change!

How about Dog the Bounty Hunter? He could use some redemption! How about Hulk Hogan? Or another WWW that I don't know much about, and can't even name, to be honest.

This time, let's have another singer-Country went over well, but we throw in say, Michael Buble', or Harry Connick Jr., or how about someone young like Josh Groban? You'd have to find someone who isn't on tour for a while. How about Reba McIntire? She's multi-talented!

Well, that's my contribution for now. I'd really like to see a group of well-diversified people. In age, backgrounds, experience, etc. I think this season did well for itself in those categories. And I think Mark and the Donald are on to something bigger and better! This could do well for at least another season or two!

Hey, one more thing-why not bring back another couple of his real 'apprentices in training' that didn't quite make it?? Some of the more memorable ones (NO, NO MORE OMOROSA!), but someone that we'd definitely remember! That could be fun, too!

The problem with that idea is, they're not celebrities, and would have the same problems Omarosa had as far as pulling in big spenders.

Otherwise, some great ideas mindy23!

I wouldn't be crazy about seeing Dog the bounty hunter, but Hulk Hogan would be interesting (though he's probably too busy with his divorce right now. )

I actually was going to suggest Rob - I'm a big Romber fan! But I don't know that he's really a true celebrity either. He certainly wouldn't be boring though! Haha.

Speaking of reality shows, why not have Jeff Probst. It would be fun to see him have to compete.

That's the best idea ever! Oh man, they should get Phil from Amazing Race, and have them on opposing teams! Awesome!

My one reason for suggesting a former Apprentice contestant, was, if for no other reason, is that they know what the Donald wants, and know the ropes, as far as the contest. If anything, Omorosa was good at that. She really did deliver when it came to the 'rules and regulations' on keeping the Trump happy, what to say and do in the boardroom, etc.

That was just a thought on bringing back one or two of the former true people who actually applied for the job. Don't know where any of them are these days-the ones who DIDN'T go with the Trumpster. Probably in some business or law group somewhere.
But anyway, that was just a thought. And who knows whom they've rubbed shoulders with in the meantime?
