Reality Show Challenge Prize Disparity

On tonight's Apprentice, the remaining wannabe figurehead Trump employees in the reality show making will have to do something really badly, but less badly than the other team, in order to win a prize of some quality time with Senator Schumer. Now, Senator Schumer probably has some great life and business ("Don't try hire lobbyists") lessons for the group, but it's a pretty boring prize, given that previous winners during this season have been able to cook with Jean Georges and even get $30,000 in diamonds. This reminds of when a meeting with Mayor Bloomberg at Gracie Mansion was a second season prize - boring, but at least he's a self-made billionaire - so we can't imagine some Apprentice candidates working that hard during tonight's challenge.

There are two new episodes of the Apprentice on tonight, and surprisingly, we haven't been as irritated by Ivanka Trump as one might think. Have you been watching this season's Apprentice? Or are you just secretly watching Deal or No Deal, in hopes of middle America schadenfreude?
