Well, maybe. Apparently the ratings for The Apprentice 5
haven't been that great, so NBC is trying to lure more viewers to the show with the possibility of a $10,000 prize each
week. Turning the show into a kind of American Idol experience, viewers will be able to participate in the show
and vote for who they think should be fired. So really, it'll be much more like real life. I remember when I was
eighteen and applied at McDonald's but the manager wouldn't hire me until he asked fifty complete strangers on the
street whether I should work there or not. It all makes perfect sense. Winners from all three time zones will be chosen
each week. You can learn more about the contest over on NBC's site. The contest kicks off April 24 and
will run to the end of the season.

WHAT???????????? You mean The Apprentice is no longer the bestest, winningest, mostest watched reality show on TV? My my my! Is the Donald running out of steam or are we real-life business people beginning to get in touch with our inner savvy and realize that these shenanigans in no way represent business in the real world. Reality Show! What a misnomer.
