Celebrity Apprentice begins Sunday

[alanp]

The Cast is:

Rod Blagojevich
Sharon Osbourne
Darryl Strawberry
Curtis Stone
Sinbad
Cyndi Lauper
Bret Michaels
Bill Goldberg
Summer Sanders
Holly Robinson Peete
Maria Kanellis
Carol Leifer
Selita Ebanks
Michael Johnson

I think the men's team has an advantage because of being bigger celebrities, but I hope they all turn on Blagojevich the first time they have to go to the boardroom.  He's a snake.

I still hope to see Levar Burton or Robert Picardo on the show one of these days.

Who are these people? I know three of them. Osborne, jeeze she makes you want to kick your tv in lol

Darryl Strawberry!  Wow - how the mighty have fallen...

[KingIsaacLinksr]

I hope to never see any celebrities on this list that I'm fond of.

Goldberg and Sinbad genuinely seem like good guys, hope they do well.

I'm interested to see what Bret Michaels and Cindi Lauper do as they are 80s super icons.  Bret is an overrated pretty boy with minimal tallant, yet he somehow holds my interest even though his reality show and concerts are terrible.

Sharon Osbourne is fingernails on the chalkboard but apparently she has some business since managing her husbands career and tours.

I just want to see Trump fire Blagojevich's rear in a humiliating display.  All politics aside, I see this guy as having nothing to offer other than a sharp tong to shift the blame in the boardroom.  IE, the next Omarosa.

much like our 'celebrity' shows it seems they can only attract minor ones that are probably mostly known locally, although The Apprentice is pretty classy as reality TV goes. I love the US version, Trump is ruthless!

Reality Shows...where celebs go to die....(at least ever since Hollywood Squares and the Loveboat went off the air..)..
What do they call that in the UK - the 'Knackers Yard'?

[Feathers]

That would do as a term although I'm sure they'd prefer to avoid the horse implications of the statement :)

I'm glad it's not just me who doesn't recognise most of these names.

Has Sir Alan ever done a celebrity show over here?

Yeah I was on a local radio station's reality show in Oklahoma called summer survivor where me and 19 other people lived in a sandbox of in the middle of a shopping center.  We were on webcam 24/7 and on the radio every couple of hours during the daytime.  I lasted 9 days.  The lady who won spent an amazing 28 days, nearly the whole month of June in the sandbox, winning a car, free gas for a year, a boat, diamond ring, and other prizes.

I'm not a fan of reality shows normally, but I like watching the celbs work and make a ton of money to be donated to good causes.  Last night, Bret Michaels served as the project manager, lead his team to victory and got $100,000 for his charity: American Diabetes Association.

This year's cast looks a little weak in the board room.  Other than Sharon Osborne, I don't know if they have any killers like Piers Morgan or Annie Duke in other seasons.
