Celebrity Apprentice

Just when the franchise looked dead, The Apprentice came back strong on Thursday by tweaking the concept; instead of having business people competing for a job, they brought in some celebs (including Gene Simmons of Kiss, boxer Lennox Lewis, UFC fighter Tito Ortiz, Marilu Henner, model Carol Alt, and a handful of people that I never heard of) to compete for money for their favorite charity. It made for a good show. The most annoying contestant was Apprentice alum Omorosa (with her last chance at any fame) who took every opportunity to play the bad guy and really just tried to hard. But hey, it's over for her. Anyway, it was a good show (involving which team could sell the most hot dogs) but they fell into a common reality show trap by cutting the hottest girl first (Playboy's Tiffany Fallon, above). Shame. You would think that Trump would know better. But if Tito Ortiz eventually puts a keylock on Omorosa, I will still declare this as the greatest TV show ever.
