"Apprentice 5 summaries"
Posted by AyaK on 02-13-06 at 11:56 AM
After the nightmare of two Apprentii running at the same time, we're back to a one-Apprentice season starting February 27. If you're interested in summarizing this show, please post in this thread. Thanks.

*why am I here?*

*ponders her own sanity*

Gee, am I going to get sucked in again?

*sigh* Probably!

OK! I suppose I'll do it, but I'd like an episode fairly early in the season in case I lose interest. Not the premiere, though.

March 6? You CAN'T have lost interest that quickly.

Well, you never know, Donald could totally blow it in the premiere!

That works perfectly for me, thanks!

If it's absolutely necessary...

But only if you want some slapdash asshattery in summary form.

Maybe if we told them Randal was coming back... and wasn't letting Rebecca go with him...

Someone has to re-introduce us to the self-promoter par excellence that is Donald Trump, and it seems like there are few takers in this thread for that role. Would you like it?

Let me know if this sounds familiar: 'Sure, I have to introduce eighteen contestants, but it's only an hour show... how long could the summary wind up being?'

Gah.

I'll take it, but don't expect me to jump-start interest in the series again. I kill things: I don't give them CPR. And I think this may wind up being entirely in paraphrase again, just to give Donald a chance to really get some self-promotion in.

Come to think of it, that would let the contestants introduce themselves...

Monday at nine. It's a quasi-date. But if this makes me miss the Race, I'm confiscating Donald's DVR unit.

I'll try one. I've got no experience except a few word wrestling matches on OT, but I think I'm up to it.

That sigpic is too ironic for this show.

(You can't banish the demons of Apprentice stupidity. There wouldn't be any contestants left.)

Since beloved RTVW has contributed greatly in intensifying my bashing skills (not to mention my general b!tchiness - a good thing, no? ), I'll give one a try. (I promise not to be sappy or easy on these yokels - they've already sealed their respective fates).

However, in considering whether it's better to do all the idjits at the beginning or watch the whole season so I can adequately summarize the end.... wait. This is helping me decide.

I'd like to be near the beginning, say week 3, 4 or 5?

ETA: On second thought, whatever episode comes right after the week of March 20 (finals week for me). In other words, March 27. That one. Preferably.

I haven't volunteered because I'm afraid that my level of snarkiness won't be anywhere near equal to others. But, I have been getting some practice on the SO boards. So, if you really need someone, I'll give it a try. Preferably one far enough in that I have some hope of knowing who the asshats are and telling them apart.

Works for me, as long as it's not up against the Boston Marathon. My taxes should be done by then.

Yes, the Boston Marathon takes place the same day, because April 17 will be Patriots' Day in Massachusetts. Want to switch -- say, to April 3 (which ukrocks can't do)?

Almost missed this. I can do either one. (I was joking about the marathon, it'll be over long before the show comes on. ) If you want me to switch to the 3rd, no problem. Just please confirm which one you are expecting.

If you could do either, I'd prefer April 3.

"RE: Apprentice 5 summaries"
Posted by universityofkentuckyrocks on 02-19-06 at 07:27 PM
I'll be willing to do one, but I would really like it to be the April 6 episode since I'm on Spring break and will have time to do a summary.



ukrocks got a blog!

"Episode 6?"
Posted by AyaK on 02-24-06 at 11:34 AM
Since the show has moved to Monday, this would be April 3 -- the same week as your request.
"RE: Episode 6?"
Posted by universityofkentuckyrocks on 02-26-06 at 10:10 PM
That would not be good because I am on a collegew visit. Sorry Ayak, you might need to toss me out cuz I have a job and I will not be able to write a summary with it on monday now.

Ayak, Can I pretty please have a summary for later in the season? (I now have cable, but am working on the vcr part...)



Come on Mystic, you know you want to write one..snarkiness is easy when it comes to The Donald...

Are there any summaries left? I think I would try it if there are. *takes big breath*

Ok, ok! Since Estee just cannot kill off this show! (I know, it's the forcefield hair. It is immune to her powers.) Yes, the duo of Trump & Burnett has done it to me again. It looks like I'm already sucked in. (Man I hate myself for this!) I could double up for one later in the season if you don't get any more volunteers. If others step up to the plate (ha!), I'll step aside.

5/15 looks like it would work best for me. My second choice would be 5/8... because after I grade all of my final exams and have a week off before summer classes start, I would just love to torture myself some more.

Hey, nutzie - are you doing the 15th?
"RE: Which one?"

*sigh* Do we even care anymore? I guess if I absolutely have to, I will, but would prefer to skip it.

...and skip all of next season as well.

"Skip it"
Posted by zipperhead on 05-15-06 at 09:34 AM
If you want to take a pass on tonight's episode (5/15) go ahead, and I will take a swipe at it.

I had thought about volunteering for the Finale, but now I don't think I want to do that one. I'm just really eager to post something on Jims' thread about best summaries and at this time I don't have anything that qualifies....

"RE: Apprentice 5 summaries"
Posted by greeneyes on 03-21-06 at 05:39 PM
I'll be glad to help out. I can do any date you need for the rest of the season.
"RE: Apprentice 5 summaries"
Posted by Scuba Steve on 04-11-06 at 09:00 AM
Hey Ayak. Since yesterday was a double episode, does that mean I have to do both? Because it will be two weeks before the next Apprentice, I may be able to do it.


"Episode 9"
Posted by buckeyegirl on 04-16-06 at 04:41 PM
Just wanted a confirmation that I'm doing my math right--last weeks double episode was 7 and 8, right? So that means that my episode to summarize is this week, and not next week, right?

Hi BEG!

There is no episode this week (4/17). NBC is running a special "Celebrity Cooking Showdown" show.

Heh, like we need another "(Insert activity) with Celebrities" show!

Give me some chocolate and I'll think about it.

Although, if you have seen my latest Survivor summary, you people may be thinking twice about ever letting me do another summary again. Can I take that as my mulligan summary?
