LOSER’S CIRCLE – Donald Trump: The Forever Impeached President

In the 2000s, businessman Donald Trump reached new heights of popularity as the host of The Apprentice. He spent 14 seasons charming viewers as he fired ordinary people and celebrities each week to find someone perfect for his business. Then in 2015, he left the show to embark on a campaign to become the President of the United States. What followed was a grotesque display of humanity filled with racism, misogyny, xenophobia, corruption, and dishonesty, which was carried over into his presidency. Now, as he has been impeached by the House of Representatives, we have no choice but to induct him into the Loser’s Circle. Continue to read on so that you can learn how low can one man go.

The New Celebrity Apprentice – Season Recap (featuring Turk182 and Jack S.)

POPS ROSS E.: Today’s recap takes a look at The New Celebrity Apprentice, the fifteenth season of The Apprentice franchise, the eighth season to feature celebrity contestants, and the first season to not be hosted by current President of the United States, Donald Trump.

JACK S.: This season was a big deal for the show. Not only was it so far away from the ratings juggernaut it was at the beginning (as well as a good show), but it also took two years off. And on top of that, it has a new host that had the tall order of replacing a polarizing, but well-established emcee.

TURK182: With former California Governor and action film icon Arnold Schwarzenegger in the boss’s seat, only two possibilities would come out of this: either he would miraculously make this show great again, or this would end up being the final season for the Apprentice franchise, and we’d be fine with either one.

No matter how hard anyone tries, there’s no stopping this businessman. Bankruptcy couldn’t ever stop him. Divorces couldn’t stop him. Public feuds and bad press couldn’t stop him. Not even political pundits couldn’t stop him, and now it’s gotten to the point that it’s going to be difficult for people like us to make fun of him. As he prepares to take office in a week or so, we decided to get in our hits at him as quick as possible. How? By taking a look at the moment that should’ve ended his career a long time ago: the self-serving elephant dung known as All-Star Celebrity Apprentice.

all-star-celebrity-apprentice-logoHaving to shove these clowns back in our faces again after he shoved them back in our faces in the past is pretty much the most embarrassing moment in Trump’s timeline…

and that’s a lot to say, considering the Trump products that actually failed.

Celebrity Apprentice Will Return, But It Needs To Find A New Host First

930636-donald-trump

 

After NBC fired Donald Trump from his hosting gig on Celebrity Apprentice, everyone wondered whether or not it means the show go off the air. But yesterday, NBC Entertainment Chairman Robert Greenblatt confirmed that there will be another season of Celebrity Apprentice. Just not for this upcoming TV season. During the Television Critics Association Press Tour, Robert Greenblatt revealed that it will take the 2016/2017 season off so they can find a replacement for its former host and current Presidential candidate Donald Trump, who he says will “absolutely not” return. Probably not what Apprentice haters don’t want to hear, but it’s actually good news. Over the show’s past 2 seasons, with its most recent one having aired earlier this year, Donald Trump has proven to be the its Achilles’ heel. So a hosting change is probably going to help improve things as long as they find the right successor.

Celebrity Apprentice 7 – Episode 1 Recap

Screen Shot 2015-01-04 at 9.44.50 AM

Hey, everyone! It’s me, Pops Ross E. I’m the news columnist for Reality TV Guide, but today, I’m making my recapping debut as I cover the new season of NBC’s Celebrity Apprentice.

It’s tough to turn a reality show into a hit in its first season. It’s even tougher to turn a reality show into a hit after it’s been off the air for a while. Almost every reality show that has taken a hiatus had that problem. Some of these shows start out strong, and then after their decline, they go off the air indefinitely. Then after a while, they return with a new season and try to get everyone hyped up again. 99% of the time, those new seasons become their last. Some of the time, it’s an experiment gone wrong. Other times, it’s not as fresh and exciting as it was in the past. Other times, the fans have moved on to a newer, current show. Whatever the case may be, reality shows that return after a long hiatus tend to fail in capturing their glory days. Even with those statistics, the moment I heard that Celebrity Apprentice was returning for its first season in two years, I steered myself for the worst.

I was never a fan of Celebrity Apprentice. (It wasn’t even called Celebrity Apprentice when it first premiered in 2004. The original Apprentice doesn’t even exist anymore.) At the same time, I can acknowledge that those shows did have their good moments. The problem I’ve always had is with the host Donald Trump. He’s always been an egotistical, greedy, outspoken snob that gets way too much luck than he deserves. He loves to talk other people down in the most mean-spirited manner possible, and the majority sides with him all the time. He also talks about himself as the highest degree when there are more important people than him. And he is allowed to do so many things that come across as ridiculous to me. Even the most previous season, All-Star Celebrity Apprentice, had “EGO” written all over it. Donald Trump was a polarizing person for decades, and after he premiered his show, we’re supposed to like him. I’ve had a hard time with that.

Yet, I put the Kardashians’ off-screen hijinks aside when I watch their shows, and looking back on everything, it’s a miracle that the Apprentice franchise has lasted longer than it was supposed to.
