The Apprentice Starts Its Second Season

To the sweet, evil delight The Apprentice (Again) 2: Gothamist will now be able to have more than weekly fixes of the strange power that is The Donald's hair. Truth be told, we look forward more to the disgusted looks on the faces of George and Carolyn, but there are good drinking games that involve the combover and the inevitable mix of hate-able and endearing Bill Rancic wannabes. Hell, we're sure some of them would settle for being Omarosa. Anyway, bring on the dazzling footage of New York City!

And Scott Sassa, we tip our hats to you: Sassa was made CEO of Friendster a while back and we thought that was hilarious. But clearly he's worked his past experience as West Coast president of NBC into creating the Apprentice on Friendster page where you can become "fans" of the various Apprentices! Friendster goes corporate - smart move, though we're not sure of Friendster's relevance considering we hadn't logged on in a while.

Profiles of some area Apprentice contestants: Three lovely ladies from NYC, Jennifer C, Stacy R, and Stacie J, and then there's Chris from Long Island. And, yes, like everyone else, Gothamist amused that the Asian contestant is named Ivana and that her dream is to meet Katie - Ivana, don't worried, when you're fired, you will.

The NY Times and Daily News agree that The Apprentice is very familiar yet irressistable. Gothamist on The Apprentice. Plus, realityblurred on the Apprentice.

I WAS a loyal watcher of this show until Stacie J. was INAPPROPRIATELY FIRED. Mr. Trump used POOR judgement by letting the women(sorority) make the decision to fire Stacie. Why would you go the very people Stacie is competing with to determine her fate(duh). I thought Mr. Trump was the BOSS not the (sorority). Stacie; all I have to say is: "The more things change the more they say the same." Hold your head high and keep movin' forward. Much love girlfriend :-)

Ivana is a complete bitch. She has horrible management skills. plus the only reason she was seleced is because of the coincidence with her first name.

The new group of apprentices seem very solid, very together, and prepared (after having watched the first season's program). I see Trump having more pleasure, even sadism, in firing people. He likes to dangle them more. I guess these are the thrills that the audience wants.

I like the rooster in the Tide advistisement. No doubt a reference to Trump.

Stacie J. has a Subway franchise up on 125th Street, and I saw her in there about a month ago working. I wonder if Jared ever comes in...
