Melissa and Joan Rivers Throw Hissy Fits On The Apprentice.. Can We Talk?
WHORE PIT VIPERS!!!
When the Apprentice first aired, I was mildly interested and watched it for a while. I liked the challenge of putting myself in the contestant's shoes and would try to figure out my plan of assault on the tasks given by "The Donald". *cringe* We'll get to him later.
I lost interest in the show, when it turned into Celebrity Apprentice. In the beginning, I thought "Oh! this will be interesting!" But eh, it wasn't. It was more about what celebrity had the best connections or BFF's who can contribute the most money. The celebrities were often paired with Olympic gold medal winners or sports figures, and just recently, a champion poker player. And although these people may be well know in their own circles, they didn't possess the networking connections that some of the stars had, and so I thought the whole thing was kind of dumb.
A perfect example was during last season's show, when Stephen Baldwin called his bro Alec to come down and fork over a few thou for Stephen's team. Where's the competition and sportsmanship in that? I preferred it when the regular people had to duke it out and not be able to pick up a phone for help. It made the challenge much harder to achieve, and of course, most didn't have the egos that these stars have — with the exception of the still un-famous (or should I say infamous) Omarosa. Ick!
"Celebrity Apprentice" turned the show into nothing more than a "PR for the star" show, with one redeeming quality of a charity benefiting in the end from the winner.
NBC has signed "The Apprentice" for another season starting next spring, and I won't be tuning in then either. But there one was thing that happened during this season's "Celebrity Apprentice" which really piqued my interest. I caught a clip on E! Online of this season's star contestants, Melissa Rivers (who I always felt looked like the love child of Steven Tyler of Aerosmith, no offense Steven) AND her Siamese-twin mom Joan Rivers having total hissy fits.
The mother/daughter duo became incensed when Melissa was fired by the Donald. I have to admit, I find so much enjoyment out of watching a good train wreck every now and then. It always makes me feel better about me and my own family. Especially when it involves two people that already make my skin crawl. So I watched the whole four minute clip and it was without a doubt, four minutes of some of the best "Bitchdom" I have seen in a while.
