The Apprentice: Martha Stewart

After watching every episode hoping to learn something... I did.-The Show is a Fraud!! Dawna was probably chosen before the series even began...

Martha Stewart's available position is at a sports/health magazine. How ironic that Dawna is the publisher of the same type of magazine.

It's a win-win for Martha and she'll make millions off Dawna's hire.

1. She kills off a competing publication and steals their lead talent

2. She increases her publication's advertising by adding Dawna's advertisers to her book

3. She increases her publication's circulation by combining her subscription list with that from Dawna's magazine

How lame to have fooled us all

Martha stewart is a great business woman, but this apprentice spin up to a highly successful reality show is a disaster from the start, the hosting is terrible, the writing is a mess, the teleplay is idiotic, the players are obnioxus, the camera-work is useless, This is yet another reality show gone stale after the success of the rest, Martha can be a good business woman, but she is wasted in this one. Now I Occasionally criticized reality shows for dumbing down television and American culture, but this is a reality show, that's not nearly as entertaining as a lot of reality shows, including the original apprentice itself, this is one of the worst shows of the decade.

Martha Stewart's Apprentice has a charm and a class way beyond the Donald's version IMO. I've been watching The Apprentice since the first season and the show has steadily gone down each season, though this current one has gotten better. I just think Donald Trump's enormous ego is the big star of The Apprentice now and there is WAY too much product placement as well. Martha's product placement is much more subtle and her cast have a demeanor that I personally like more than Trump's cast. I wish it were coming back next season but mediocre ratings came into the scene. I wish more people would have given her version a chance because I think they would have liked it. It's my favorite show. Martha totally rocks and each week instead of the catchphrase "You're fired" she writes the fired contestant a charming letter. There's only one Martha and this was a great show.

This is an excellent follow-up to Donald Trump's Apprentice. It offers a slightly different perspective on the hiring process than Donald's version. While more friendly and less harsh, her demands for excellence are no less than Donald's.

Overall, I think the teams chose sides badly in the original episode and other criteria should have been used. A reshuffling is definitely required.

This being said, like Donald's Apprentices, I personally would not consider hiring any of them, ever. However, they make for good entertainment.

The only fault I would have with the show is that I wish there was more of Martha.

I understand that Donald is concerned that there has been an audience split between the original Apprentice and Martha's new show. I also understand that he is part owner of Martha's version. I think I may have a suggestion for a win/win. Perhaps The Donald and Martha could advertise a "final showdown" between the 2 winners from each of their shows. This might boost ratings for both shows. I have been a long term fan of the original Apprentice and have high hopes for the success of Marha's new version. I think there is definitely room for both to be successful. The Donald and Martha are both such good "promotors". I am sure they could have a lot of fun with some "battle of the sexes" type advertisements.
