    Celebrity Apprentice - USA

    If you haven't had a chance to watch, the US Celebrity Apprentice has pissed over the piss poor BBC Alan Sugar attempt in terms of wit, aggression and overall American ballsiness.

    US All American, Awww Shucks Trace Atkins goes up against evil, pithy, nasty ass Piers Morgan.

    If you haven't checked out this series then you have missed an absolute treat.

    The final is here.

    BBC - BBC One Programmes - The Celebrity Apprentice USA

    I wonder who wins????

    Two words in the title of this programme put me off from tuning in:

    Celebrity

    &

    USA

    I will avoid thanks.

      I saw one episode and it was larger than life, in ways more than one*. In that episode the men's team disregarded professional advice and used Lenox to advertise something, and used a singer to narrate, and won hands down.

      * the aspect ratio made everyone look short and stumpy. They all looked like sumo wrestlers, including the women. Do you guy bother changing the aspect ratio on your TV when this happens (which might add another distortion, or cut off extremities)? I sometimes don't bother upsetting things and leave it as is, and since I usually watch from a recorded, have a choice of whether to change the PVR's aspect ratio or the TV's.

        Aye, not really the same thing as Sugar's show. They did a special celebrity one over here too, at Christmas I think but I'm not sure.

        The proper UK one is about as entertaining as you can get while keeping it as a serious contest.

            It's about 5 years old though...
