Donald Trump's Apprentice is one of the hottest shows in the ratings.
Is it a good guide to how to succeed in on the tough streets of NYC?

a bit outdated. Applies the rules of business to the show.

Episode 2 - MOTEL 666
Magna and Net Worth face an almost impossible task and one candidate caves under the stress and walks off the show during an emotional and poignant episode.
The teams descend upon the Jersey shore to fix up and run their own not-so-five-star motels. Both teams pull all-nighters to win the hearts and minds of their guests. A mutiny brews at one team while a candidate may or may not quit the other group. The winners set sail on a luxury ship while the losers feel the heat of the boardroom when Donald Trump fires the second candidate.

Mark,
Trump was on blasting you and Sir Richard yesterday morning, Mark. Trump and the Survivor producer made this deal to do the Martha Stewart Apprentice show, a second version of Trumps show. She has to get out the "clinker".
If you have tivo, it came at the 2:08 timeframe of the show. I'm sending this not to embarass you but to motivate you to blow this Trump guy out of the water. And I'll tell you how I think you can do this in my next email to you.
* * * * * *
Trump: Actually, We thought about Mark Cuban, but he failed. And we thought about Branson. And you know those were two obvious choices but you know they've gone on . . . we've done automatic research, we've done automatic research on those two, the various networks gave us automatic research.
Imus: Both of those guys that jerk Mark Cuban and that other moron Both came out of the box . . . Cuban came out of the box badmouthing you, you would have thought they would get kept their mouths shut.
Trump: Cuban came out and he said, Trump is a really bad guy he won't shake peoples hands. He lives in one of my buildings in New York. I understand he likes it very much because it's a great building.. He came on strong and he went down. He went down like dogs. Flies watch this show.
And then Branson came out and said Donalds a great guy, then said Trumps a horrible human being. His first thing on his show was an imitation of me getting out of a limousine. His show almost did as badly as Cubans.
* * * * * *
Mark, you've already addressed this before in your comments on your success given the size of your market.
Your response to this should be to launch the greatest reality show of all time, one that will put the Apprentice to shame. Next time, do something that has no resemblence to the Apprentice. Reach out and come up with a reality show that will change the world like Branson tried to do but in a bigger way, come up with a show with people that are really the best and brightest in their fields, and come up with something that will blow Trump off the map.
I'm really pulling for you to make a great next move and I'm filled with great ideas on the next generation reality show. If you call me I'll play that couple of minutes for you off my tivo because I believe it will inspire you to make the next reality tv show move.

�Apprentice� bad boy busted
By Diane Holloway | Monday, April 11, 2005, 10:11 AM
�Apprentice� contestant Chris Shelton, the lone remaining major-league jerk on the show, was arrested for disorderly conduct early Sunday morning at a casino in Tampa, Fla.
You remember Chris. He hasn�t been fired yet but should have been.
He�s the real-estate millionaire in the original group of contestants without college degrees. It doesn�t take a college degree to know this 22-year-old hot-head has a tempter unbecoming a business executive. Or a civilized human being, for that matter.
Chris is one of six remaining �Apprentice� candidates vying for a job with Donald Trump. All but a couple of the shows were taped in advance, so the arrest won�t have an impact on the finale. But it�s probably safe to assume this guy won�t make it to the Final Three.
The Donald has bad hair, but he�s not stupid enough to hire Tantrum Boy.
The scene of the alleged �Chris Crime� was Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, where he exploded over a $20 cover charge in the hotel bar. Yelling and cursing in the lobby, he was arrested and hauled off to the clinker. He was released on a $250 bail.
What a loser.

MarketWatch is watching
TheApprenticeBlog.com For Sale"Turn out the lights, the party's over," Baranko says in his Internet Daily column for MarketWatch.com (and on his blog), "TheApprenticeBlog.com is for sale on eBay."
However with the new season starting ~fresh~ on the west coast this might the perfect opportunity for Mark Burnett to revive The Apprentice, like he has done repeatedly with Survivor. Or at least I hope someone will think so because I'm trying to sell this blog!
Baranko's article is not exactly the media endorsement to buy-buy-buy that I'd like to see, but his approach was predictable given the performance of the show in the last season and the general downward slide away from Business lessons towards soap-opera drama.
It's unlikely that Burnett will swing as far back towards business as I, and the previously untapped viewer demographic of professionals making $100K+, would like to see. However, there is still an audience base for the show, including those who just want the drama (and to see suits screw up)
Interestingly enough, someone has already commented on Baranko.com that they are disappointed about the publicity because they are interested in buying the site, cheap. Hey, it's still going for just over $200.

TheApprenticeBlog.com for SALE
Have you ever thought:
"Hey, I could do a better job than this 'Lex' chick"
Well, given my crappy job this season, you are probably right.
AND Now is your opportunity to show your stuff.
Buy TheApprenticeBlog.com on eBay
You can make TheApprenticeBlog.com your very own. With separate blogs for all 5 seasons of Donald's Apprentice and even the 1 season of Martha's Apprentice. I'm even throwing in the remaining typepad hosting, which will give you the ability to host and launch an unlimited number of blogs until January 1, 2007.
More details on eBay, but I wanted to post this part here:
Community:
While TheApprenticBlog.com has not been updated regularly in the last season, due to the same personal reasons I am selling it now, there is still a very active fan community which requires only minimal support to keep them coming back, commenting, self-moderating and adding their own content to the blog. In fact, one season I was cut off from technology for the final 4 episodes, TheApprenticeBlog.com community kept things rolling without missing a beat.
Of course you are feel to do what ever you want with the url and the blog once you own it, I ask that you respect the great community and people that already participate on TheApprenticeBlog.com.
If it's so great, why am I selling?
After writing and maintaining the blog for 5 seasons, I am uninspired. Rather than hire someone to maintain it, or continue to let it slip downhill, while cashing the google checks, I'd rather sell it and let someone else take advantage of the leg-work we've done to establish TheApprenticeBlog.com as a credible authority on The Apprentice over the last 2 years. It's also perfect timing if someone on the West Coast wants to take it over as the series heads west for it's 6th season.
I have no idea who's going to end up buying TheApprenticeBlog.com, but I hope one of you guys will consider it. You've all been a part of building it, you should get to reap what reward may come.
I'll put up one more post when it sells, but before that I want to thank you all for the great ride, comments and enthusiasm. You've made it fun, educational and kept me on my toes.
