And The Human Behavior Experiments
To Be Available Beginning on December 12, 2007 (Cost: $1.99 a piece.)


from NBC:
"The Apprentice" returns for its seventh season with a whole newtwist...14 celebrities will be competing to be the first "celebrityapprentice" and win $250,000 for his or her favorite charity."The Celebrity Apprentice" will premiere on Thursday, January 3 at 9:00p.m. EST.

OK, the charity angle is great, but there is NO logic behind this program. The whole dynamic of a young ambitious person trying to win an extended job interview to work in Trump's company is out the window with a fame-chaser. Why call it "The Apprentice?" Why not call it "Has-Been Olympics?" The idea makes as much sense as "Celebrity Seminary" or "Superstar Office Worker." It's pointless. It's a sham of a mockery of a double sham...
