Once again, ApprenticeViews will be along for the ride. And because The Donald has moved to Monday's - we at ApprenticeViews felt like we should move also.

Coming soon! http://apprenticeviews.blogdrive.com/comments?id=136 http://apprenticeviews.blogdrive.com/archive/135.html Fri, 27 Jan 2006 02:29:49 GMT The data rich folks at Google released their 2005 Zeitgeist, and who is one of the featured celebrity search idols? Our own Donald (ok and Martha also). You’re Fired (and Hired) It wasn’t a good thing for Martha when she headed off to federal prison in 2004 for a five-month sentence, but by the time she got out in March, her trouble was over. Meanwhile, The Donald continued enjoying his own renaissance as his reality show continued. And once free, Martha started her search for an apprentice.

Interestingly enough, this news was not on their main page (hmmm wonder why). Instead you had to click down into More Entertainment news. Then while reading the article, it stated: "Jarvis, on the other hand, ran a comedy benefit for the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation, though, perhaps to her detriment, chose not to directly appeal for donations during the event. " HUH? Jarvis' choice? Ahh well it is Yahoo's website and they did pay $100K, so I guess they can re-write the show. Read the fill article at...

They really are trying to clean up that blackeye. And she also said she would have asked Da Donald to share the winners circle with Randal. I believe her. However, controversial as it may be, Randal showed strength as a leader by making a firm (maybe unpopular) decision. However, he stated his decision poorly and it reflects bad on him. He should have denied Rebecca in a very gracious manner but seemed to put her down. He lacks Rebecca's poise. I bet that in the long run, Rebecca will do...

There was many weeks or months between the event and the finale and none of - as Yahoo stated Big spenders - even contributed a dime. That is shameful. Shameful! Hopefully those that attended this Yahoo event as carried on National TV now reach into their pockets and make a donation. Do it Now! The Yahoo exec at the finale had to make a donation on live tv. I am sure it was a decision made once he heard...

After 5 years, I still like the theme song... Randal seems defeated, as does Rebecca - how could this not be scripted? Randal's oversight is sloppy. It was brought to his attention early on - what to do if it rains. He said it won't. He lost that bet. Randal saying "we" didn't have a plan B -- no, he didn't have the plan. Rebecca seems slightly lifted by their Improv comedian. This cannot put Joe Piscopo in a good light - how could it? It's a charity event and he bags it! Shame on Joe! What should Randal have done? Plan for one of those... (more) http://apprenticeviews.blogdrive.com/comments?id=131 http://apprenticeviews.blogdrive.com/archive/130.html Fri, 16 Dec 2005 01:20:37 GMT I like the finalists tonight. They both showed great strength and character during this unique interview process. Early on Randal showed he was Apprentice material, but seemed to have slipped a few key times. Sloppy and lazy on some occasions. Yet at times cunning and aggresive. Rebecca has shown strength and character - more so after her injury. One wonders if her injury on the ice made her a stronger player. In the end, both "R"'s were the clear winners coming into the finals. And now... on to the finale. And the news is that the 6th season of the Apprentice will happen - this time...

Having seen a recap, and knowing that the editors are sneaky, I predict with great certainty that the winner will be the one whose name begins with "R". Ok that was lame. Truth is - I will bet that Rebecca pulls this one off. It will be close, both candidates are at the top of their game. I liked how Rebecca hired an agency to take care of the details. That is wise; outsource to the experts. And Randal not preparing for rain may wash him out. Tomorrow will be a...

Only one male survivor... and looking back, who was memorable? Not many "branded" players this year... Does it matter who is PM at this stage? In previous years, this was the interview round. Ok this one isn't easy to call - at least for me. Having the live action (Randall/Rebecca) is a plus - telling a story. Alla/Felisha's more graphic based program is factual, less emotional. It will come down to what the Microsoft people (no last names please) think... I bet they go with the less-emotional Alla... (more) http://apprenticeviews.blogdrive.com/comments?id=128
