To be honest, Trump does not really need celebrities to pump the show’s ratings or earnings, it is doing well by using ordinary people to compete for the opportunity of being his apprentice. But being the brilliant businessman that he is, Trump knows that with celebrities as prospective apprentice, he could make a killing.
Although in the first season, the celebrities were working to raise funds for their favorite charities, and not really for Trump. But that is just for the apprentice’s part, as for the ratings of the show and its benefit – it still Trump’s.
The second season also will see the apprentice raising funds for charity. So you see, it is after for a good cause.
Two things working for the show here, one of course is the celebrity factor. People love watching celebrities. The second factor being curiosity – does these celebrity people really have some business sense in them? How would they fare when they enter the world of Donald Trump? Would their status matter to Trump?
Too many questions, which can only unfold as the show progresses.
We all know that in reality shows, there are either one or two contestants who seemed to take the villains role. You know to spice things up. And of course, Trump realizes that. That is in the second season of celebrity edition of The Apprentice, he puts it lots of potential villains, and I mean lots of them, who might not only stir the show, but even give it a great shake-up.
Let us first see the line up of this year’s celebrity apprentice:
• Clint Black – Country Singer
• Andrew Dice Clay – A famous 80’s comedian
• Annie Duke – Professional Poker player
• Tom Green – A Canadian actor/comedian and former MTV host
• Natalie Gulbis – Professional golfer
• Scott Hamilton – Former ice skater
• Jesse James – Custom bike builder who was also a former host of a reality show
• Claudia Jordan – She is the holder of the No. 1 suitcase in “Deal or No Deal,” which a press release say is “indicative of her rise in the business”
• Khloe Kardashian – youngest of the Kardashian sisters who also has their own reality show
• Brian McKnight – R&B singer
• Joan Rivers – Comedienne
• Melissa Rivers – Television host and Joan’s daughter
• Brande Roderick – Former Playmate of the Year, also co-starred in Snoop Dog’s “Hood of Horror”
• Dennis Rodman – Former basketball player and winner in “Celebrity Wrestling Challenge.”
• Herschel Walker – Former football player
• Tionne Watkins – member of TLC, more popularly known as T-Boz
Indeed, such an interesting line up. While most seems to be unheard of, at least on our part of the globe, some surely rings a bell like the singer Brian McKnight, and who doesn’t know Rodman?
Personally, I am curious how Rodman, also known as “The Worm,” would do his stuffs in the show or what will happen when he comes face to face with Donald Trump. And would the poker player in Annie Duke bluff her way to avoid being fired? Would Joan Rivers impose her motherly authority on Melissa Rivers when it is required in the boardroom or even during implementation of the tasks? Hands down though, I’m sure many people would be rooting for Brian McKnight.
Those who have seen the first season of the celebrity edition, will definitely look forward to this second edition of the show. Honestly, I haven’t seen that first season because I missed the buzz. I just followed it through YouTube. But definitely, I won’t miss this one. Or if I will, for some reasons unknown for now, then, I can always depend on YouTube.
