“We are blown away by the cast’s drive, energy, and passion to not only play the game but also to raise a lot of money and awareness for important causes,” says Craig Plestis, NBC’s head of alternative programming. “There’s no other show like it to prove your business brain and we are already getting calls from high-profile celebrities who want to challenge themselves in season two.”
The current season of “The Celebrity Apprentice” is drawing around 9.3 million viewers per week and a 3.9 rating in the key adults demographic (18-49). Both are improvements over the show’s last installment (8.2 million avg viewers, 3.4 rating on Sunday nights last year), and, sadly, the demographic numbers are close to those of the shows it has replaced on Thursday nights. “The Office” averaged only a 4.8 rating among adults 18-49 over its 12 half hours in the fall, while “Scrubs” averaged a 3.3 over seven episodes.
Meanwhile, the current season will end with a live finale on Thursday, March 27, which will feature the completion of the show’s final task, the announcement of the total amount the 16 participants raised for charity, and Trump’s “hiring” of the winner — which will mean a $250,000 check to the charity of the winning player’s choice.
I think the Trump is about done. The show was cool, but now its kind of getting old.
That’s what people were saying before “The Celebrity Apprentice.” Seems he has more lives than a cat.
Actually… I never liked Apprentice and probably havent seen more shows than I can count on one hand if that many. However, celebrity apprentice is different. It has a new dynamic in that he (Donald) has to interact different with folks who are really now his peers. Last night was a really good twist, including spying, lying, decpetion, and pitted a few celebs against each other who now have hard feelings against another. It was good reality tv and it was with someone you could identify with from shows you once liked as oppopsed to some Joe no name who has been an a** his entire life and is now on my TV adding an extra 20 lbs of a**age to himself.
Yeah, I actually liked the original “Apprentice,” and didn’t think I’d care for this version since I figured they wouldn’t have much to play for. I think it’s been interesting because there are a couple of people on the show who just want to win for the sake of winning and they aren’t really intimidated by The Donald and are willing to take some new and different chances. Last night’s episode was pretty good. I think they right person stayed.
Bravo for Donald Trump! But the hard working is not yet finished. However maintaining is more difficult than achieving.
This show absolutely rocks but I hated to see the Kiss guy go. I had given up on Apprentice and I didn’t even watch the last one. But this one is immensly entertaining. I HATE Omarsa!

Yeah, I think EVERYONE hates Omarosa…even the other players. Of course, that’s probably why she’s on the show…
