Apprentice fans, I have a question:

[Plaid Adder]

Are all the 'tasks' going to be this basic sales/promotion/marketing 101 bullshit? Cause I could see myself maxing out my tolerance for that by about week 2 1/2. I mean really, if that's all it is, who needs a friggin' MBA?

C ya,

The Plaid Adder

1. Seems that way

The tasks always seem to fall to basic sales/promotion/marketing 101 or event planning, or a combination of the two. Yet they always seem to fuck up. It's kind of ridiculous.

Wow i'm on the apprentice, this is awesome....YAWN...I think I'll sleep till 10am and then not do anything but complain...

Meh...

2. Trouble is, the show is an act. Predetermined. It's not real at all.

Even the office is a set.

All made to look and feel real.

And Trump is the biggest phony of them all. A big rich man - one who's done bankruptcy TWICE now and can continue to do so whenever he feels like it. Unlike us.

And people think that doofus will genuinely help them?

Check out his book too (don't buy it). It's another laughfest.

4. This article gives interesting insight into the show.

3. I agree -- I have zero business experience and I always come up

with better ideas and solutions to problems than the people on the show.

It's lame, but I still watch it for some reason...
