A "Virtual" Apprentice?

I admit that I'm hooked on Donald Trump's Apprentice series. Last night was an especially good show! The celebrity series has been filled with a lot of ego, not usually something that appeals to me, but this season I'm hooked. How many times have I thought I could do this SO much better..ha! It is easy to sit on my couch and see obvious mistakes, especially when they have real estate related tasks. Last night as the show was ending I had the greatest idea! Mr. Trump needs to have a "virtual" apprentice series. The VA industry is the hottest industry in the US right now, especially in the world of real estate, his world! We are the most creative, talented group of professionals I know of. I believe Mr. Trump would be VERY impressed!

Just a thought....

Jeri,

Send Mr. Trump and the network your suggestion! You have very good reasons for VA's being featured! Wouldn't it be fun!

Tamara,

You've got to see it! There is so much going on between the celebrities that the project is rather an after thought some weeks. The celebrities are earning money for their favorite charities so they don't have a HUGE amount of personal "stuff" to lose if they are fired. They leave with their dignity still intact, they still have their original big money making jobs. and they've just spent several weeks in-front of a large TV audience WITH Donald Trump. No amount of advertising dollars can buy that! They drive away in a big limo with a sly smile, counting the revenue this gig will be making them in the coming weeks!

Throughout this show I've been sitting here on my couch yelling "call your assistant and just let her handle it"...!!!! Sometimes they look so out of place when an administrative task needed to be done....heehee!! It seems like someone sneaked in and slimed their brains and cut 8 of their fingers off. Doesn't it make you want to dive right thru the TV and do it the right way? OK.....I'll settled down...until tomorrow night when I have to want the next installment of "Torture Assistants the Trump Way", or The Apprentice Show as the Networks calls it.

Let me know if you watch tomorrow night!

I haven't seen a full episode myself...only bits and pieces here or there. This would probably be a good show though!
