I liked "The Apprentice", but lost interest when it became "Celebrity 
Apprentice" -- the contestants no longer had any real skin in the game. 
I was pretty sure that the Trump we saw in that show was a character, 
and we weren't supposed to like him.

Fox ran a hilarious show called "My Big Fat Obnoxious Boss" that was the 
same premise as "The Apprentice" except that everything was fake and 
scripted -- but the contestants didn't know that.  I believe the first 
task was selling hot soup out of a pushcart in Chicago in August; the 
losing team had to spend the night in sleeping bags on a vacant lot in a 
sketchy neighborhood.  Per standard Fox practice with good shows, it was 
cancelled during its first season.
