How much of The Apprentice is faked?
April 8, 2004 4:41 PM
Some interesting Apprentice info:
- The board room is on the same floor as their swank apartment.
- The elevators outside the board room are fake and just lead to another hallway.
- The young woman who rented the apartment Troy's team renovated already obtained a lease before the show decided to even renovate that apartment. She received $2000 in free furniture her involvement, and knew that no matter what rent she negotiated for, she'd be paying her original rent.
- That apartment was empty because the previous occupant jumped out the window a month earlier.
More details: Elevator Rides to Nowhere, from New Yorkish and Reality's Apprentice, which was written by the person living underneath the renovated apartment and is an interesting read.
Tracked from: Apprentice Watch and Craig Pfeifer's Maps and Legends.
I must admit that I'm enjoying the Apprentice, though not as much now that Troy has been fired. He seemed to be the only one using real-world business tactics and he seemed to have the most fun doing so.
What I don't get: Since Trump always has final say on who goes, couldn't he have decided who wins on the first day, and then just fire anybody but that person every time?

Apprentice 2 would have had much more impact if..Donald had listened to them defend themselves, and replied : "You know I am very impressed at the hard work you have done and I am impressed with your resume's." "I do not know about this, I just get a feeling in my gut. But, I do not see either one of you working out in my organization." "You Both are Fired" I think this would have raised the stakes for the next group and they would be going in knowing that there is no gaurantees, therfore making the contestants much more competitive. It would also would have had a great shock value for the audience. This would definatley had raised the interest to the viewers of the next show just to see how much different this group would be and to get a perspective on how they felt about the last group.

It's sad to read that these tasks are rigged beforehand. So the team winners or losers are really set-up in advance?
I didn't care for the way Jenn was treated in the last show. I have to give her credit for being able to sit there and take it in like that. She was the real winner and Trump and his cohorts who were set up to insult her, they are the real losers. The big fellow obviously forgot his lines and that will be his nightmare from now on.
Jenn, sorry that happened to you, you didn't deserve it. You go girl.
