I am coming out as a lover of Celebrity Apprentice. I don't know whether it's watching celebrities try to handle challenges that probably make business school graduates cringe or finding out that Dionne Warwick is kind of a bitch, but I'm completely entertained.
(Just to be clear: I do not love Celebrity Apprentice the way I love Friday Night Lights, Parenthood and hope to love Game of Thrones. Celebrity Apprentice is like my love for McDonald's french fries, those other shows are like my love for Lidia Bastainich restaurants. Mmmmkay? Good.)
However, I think it would be a lot better if I tweaked it a bit.
1. The celebrities have to stop calling Donald, "Mr. Trump". Either all parties should be on a first name basis or none should. The celebrities, while possibly immature and/or clueless, are not children and he is not their principal.
2. Force the celebrities to live together like they do with contestants on Project Runway and Top Chef. Just watching some of them survive without assistants should be entertaining enough. And imagine Meatloaf and Gary Busey living under the same roof! Television GOLD.
3. Get better celebrities. If the Donald would kick in more charity money, he could probably get better celebrities. Or maybe he could blackmail them or something, I don't know. But wouldn't it be awesome to see the cast of Twilight versus the cast of Harry Potter? Or the cast of Desperate Housewives against the cast of Grey's Anatomy?
4. Get celebrities who need help. Let Charlie Sheen bring his torpedo of truth to Trump Tower. Give Glenn Beck a new job. Give Lindsay Lohan something to do besides go to rehab.
5. Get celebrities who aren't really celebrities. I'm picturing a Real Housewives battle between New York and New Jersey or maybe the Kardashians versus the Basketball Wives?
Is there a celebrity contestant that would make you watch Celebrity Apprentice?

LOL about the living together idea. Why do I have an idea that it would quickly turn into Jersey Shore 2?
OK, I love the idea of Harry Potter vs Twilight, but who's team would Robert Pattinson be on? He's most well known for Twilight, but he was way hotter in Harry Potter. Decisions, decisions...
Ummm...you should be a television programmer/producer/writer. Seriously. You're a genius. :)
"If the Donald would kick in more charity money, he could probably get better celebrities": EXACTLY! I have always thought this.
Charlie Sheen is SO headed for Celebrity Apprentice. And/or hell.
I could have SWORN I read this post and commented... maybe it was the Dionne Warwick one?? I really really DID NOT like her or the fact they kept her because they were afraid of voting a "legend" off first.... This is an AWESOME POST!!! I can't even pick which of your 1-5 I like better... they are all funny and TRUE! Altho, I do think the casting people should seriously consider #3 and #6!
