The Apprentice: I've noticed something about this show: it seems overly scripted, and that surprises me. It doesn't feel like a Mark Burnett show. Survivor had many things going for it; spontaneity among them, in my opinion. Yes, there were always themes, but tribal council was still a guessing game. This show's highs and lows are in-your-face; it really annoys me at times.
I did like the last ten minutes, however. It just goes to show how you have to think on your feet in the business world. Yes, Kristi did have a good plan going into the boardroom - let Heidi and Omarosa sink their ships, wait for Trump to address her - but it's obviously not the best choice in all circumstances. Me, I wouldn't have been able to switch gears and speak up convincingly. I would've hunkered down, just like her. That final statement from the boardroom was interesting: she didn't speak up in defense, so it was obviously all true. Ouch!
At the same time, I have to give Heidi and Omarosa some credit; especially Omarosa. She was calm, precise and sharp; a scalpel! And Heidi - dirty and obnoxious throughout the show - had just the right words. Strange. More overt editing, no doubt. Oh well, the ending did entertain me, so I'll tune in next week.
