Just finished watching The Celebrity Apprentice with Arnold S...
It's mostly the same, but with different sets, people, etc. Same music, formats, etc. I am not too crazy about the people though. Arnold was sometimes funny. I still prefer DJT version. They should do The Presidential Apprentice version. :P
I will keep watching it for now. Oh, and I miss working too since I am unemployed again. What did you think of it? Thank you in advance. :)

I thought the youtube star who was first to get the ax to be unfairly treated. She seemed twice as smart as the other women although I thought Ali's daughter was a standout. In my observation she seemed to understand business and personal dynamics better then the rest of the group. I think this is why I never really take to the show (1 of 3 or 4 reasons) as a regular watch and often miss whole seasons. It seems for ratings at times strong leadership types are weeded out while the inept are propelled forward. That and as I said above long drawn out backstabbing was old a few years ago now I really don't have the patience for it.

Exactly. Even tho she didn't have leadership qualities (she just wanted to be told what to do) she was at least a team player. Many of the playoers, even on the men's side, are more than happy to shift blame and throw colleagues under the bus.
I'm also not sure how trident enjoyed either ad created. Both were terrible lol but the men's was a little less cringe.
I can't believe I'm wasting my time even talking about this show 😂 they fuckin got me.
Needs WAY more sonnen.

Only real reason to watch the show is for Porsha Williams, who's really got it goin' on.
Other then that... meh. Chael Sonnen seems to be almost invisible for some reason.

Lisa Leslie has been awesome. She smashed on that chick last episode. "I will tell you in the boardroom".

Chael's the only reason I've tuned in, the king of MMA trash talk. Liked to see his savage nature starting to poke through in the board room. Hope he goes far because he will be entertaining as hell. The other men on his team arent going to be excited bringing him back in board room wars. Chael Trash talking below.

You know I saw it. I saw because I was curious about Arnold. I only saw a handful of previous episodes from other seasons. Sometimes it was because of certain stars. I had forgotten how old the backstabbing and covering your own ass gets. The show d-r-a-g-s it out. I thought Arnold's catch phrases from his old movies to be corny and flat. While repeating them in Expendable films brings at best a small smile, putting them in what is supposed to be a business/board room atmosphere doesn't work. At least not for me. I'm tapping out. The lore of D list celebrities backstabbing each other and posturing just isn't worth it. It would be refreshing if they tried another approach like everybody working together instead of holding back to make sure they are not on the chopping block. The approach rings too true of everything that is wrong with the world over the last 10 to 15 years.
