OK, Survivor filled me with disgust, but The Apprentice was very satisfying. Ironically for this challenge, Omarosa probably performed the best that she ever has--and clearly the best of anyone on the team. But clearly at this stage of the game the candidates are being judged on the sum total of their performance and not just the specific task of the moment. If her personality weren't so corrosive, she'd probably still be there. The firings just get more and more satisfying.

When did I become such a reality show watcher? I'm a little worried about this trend of mine.

Hi!

I didn't realize you had an LJ! :)

I am vehemently against Reality TV, and yet I ended up watching an The Apprentice marathon on a Sunday a few weeks ago, and then again last night. I particularly enjoyed last night's episode. I think the specific task really appealed to me (I was an art student and have an artsy job, but can also function pretty well in the business world) - I felt really vindicated by the way things turned out (what a huge profit difference!), and man, that woman who got fired REALLY irritated me, I was pleased to see her go.

I haven't had it for very long. I'm glad I've started edging into it. :)

Yeah, I was thinking last night that if they were doing a showing where the object was to create buzz, that would may been the right choice of artist. For actual sales they needed something a little more appealing. Omarosa is an object lesson of how your co-workers and underlings don't necessarily have to like you, but you need to at least have their respect. I suspect that she didn't take that lesson away with her.
