"You Just Don't Fit In"
Well, that was underwhelming.
I hadn’t quite gotten around to finishing my preview of The Apprentice: Martha in time to post it before the first episode aired, but I can assure you that the contestants are the usual batch of deluded blowhards. There are former beauty queens, people who intend to give 110%, an eye cancer survivor, and someone who owns a company that produces lowfat wheat-, dairy-, and egg-free cookies (basically, cookie-free cookies).
Watching the first episode, though, it became clear that a preview is unnecessary as this thing really is just a complete carbon copy of Donald’s Apprentice. There’s the fake interaction between Martha and her employees. There’s the constant bitching about having too little/much leadership from the project manager. There’s the always boring reward for the winning team. And there’s the standard firing of the losing project manager.
The whole thing felt almost exactly the same as previous Apprentice installments. Except Martha is admittedly a somewhat better actress than The Donald. And she writes the fired candidates a nice note to read as they depart to loser-ville.

I have to admit feeling disappointed as well, and the "you just don't fit in" bit??? But it is SO Martha to write them a nice note after they leave. She wouldn't want to seem impolite - that would ruin her reputation!
Oh man, you so have to watch every single new tv show and write mean things. Some of us are forced to live vicariously. Does the show take place in the city? Or in her crazy compound?
Dude. I'm totally watching the entire season. Martha is my idol and I hope to craft 1/100th as many items in my lifetime as she did before the age of 30. That said, I found the letter writing to be REALLY REALLY cheezy. For some reason, it made me think of Murder She Wrote. Don't ask why.
