The new season is just starting tonight at 9 PM (I just found out); Trump is a likely presidential contender, and if he runs I think he will be the next president, so that adds interest to watching this new season.

I like the Apprentice franchise but the Donald has as much chance to be the next president as Charlie Sheen.

I agree with Trump's chance (none) of being the next Pres! I really liked the show when it first came out, however since Trump gave the win to Joan Rivers, the cheater who absolutely did not deserve to win, I quit watching it. Rivers won only because of her "star" power and Trump & the network copped out for her. They lost me as a viewer after that.

We're watching!

Saw last night's show. Gary Busey is a little odd, the girls will be having major cat fights....all makes for fun watching.

Great Entertainment

We're also watching. I was amazed to see Star arrive with her little maltese who is adorable. Took some chuptzba to bring a dog along but after seeing so much dysfunction on Day 1 the maltese may be the most congenial player on the show.

I used to enjoy The Apprentice, but lately I find that Trump is working it for showmanship more than who really earned the kudos.

The losing men's team seemed to all be disgusted with their PM who has earned his bad reputation, and yet he fired the guy the team mates liked. It seems that Trump will purposely keep "what's his name from survivor" on because he's one who will create chaos which attracts more viewers.

Kinda works like the government, yes? Who said that? Not I.

I love Celebrity Apprentice. I missed the Premiere. But I see the episode is scheduled to run again Friday night on CNBC.

Thanks for that info, Bare!

The premiere is also available on the 'On Demand' feature if you have that with your tv service; and the subsequent episodes probably will be too; they were last season. If you miss an episode it is usually available by the following day or evening.

On my 'On Demand' service, it is at 'Primetime'; then, Celebrity Apprentice is under the NBC listings.

Thanks for that info, too, Freeda!

Unfortunately, we have Dish so we don't have On Demand anymore...I sure do miss it!

We DVR everything and there is a conflict on Sunday nights...I hope CNBC will re-run it on Fridays...

By the way...which "Survivor" is on "Celebrity Apprentice"?

Richard hatch is the Survivor who is on Apprentice this season.

I agree on the likeability issue, however that is not what Apprentice is about. #1 it is about good television and Hatch makes for better TV than Cassidy. #2 it is about leadership, and the unfortunate truth is that some good leaders are not very likeable. I like to watch in part because as a psychology minor I find it a fascinating study of human dynamics.
