EGOTISTICAL BITCHES: Formulaic & Entertaining in "Apprentice"



Sunday night's 3 hour Celebrity Apprentice special made love to a stale pile of Meatloaf. I'll get to that fat cry baby later. What Trump should have done was glorify the egotistical bitches, a component that put his shows on the map in the first place. **Omarosa circa 2004 & 2008** One of this seasons egotistical bitches, Star Jones, may have gastric bypassed her 300 pounds away, but now carries 1000 pounds of attitude. She may be over compensating for a career in the toilet. Even with all that attitude, playing the "sexist" card and reminding everyone that she is an accomplished lawyer, her ass still got fired...AGAIN! **The View circa 2006** (Latoya Jackson was fired twice in a matter of a week) I think it's safe to say, that Star is a star for being fired. Absent of egotistical bitches, what's the incentive to watch? The Star Jones nemesis, Nene Leakes (The worst kind of egotistical bitch: an uneducated one) quit because she felt Trump favored Star. Nene wasn't on the show for her charity anyway, she's a reality "star" trying to rise. The punch line of the show, NBC used Nene's ghetto fab, angry black woman persona to sell the show. It worked. Nene caught on to how she was being portrayed and decided to step away from her own typecasting; but the damage...done. The Atlanta Hoodrat, I mean housewife, was in over her head. Her next stop: The Bad Girls Club. She can mud wrestle with Tanisha. The wrath of Nene was getting tired & I hate to see two black women fight on national television. Trump clearly favored Star and so did I. Televison execs love an angry Black woman but Star wanted to make sure her credentials outshone her persona. Instead people just "view" her as an egotistical black woman with a few degrees/similar to Omarosa Nene's only credentials was a stripper pole and rich husband whose now broke. Sorry Nene, You're fired! And your plastic surgeon should be as well! The smart thing for Nene to have done was to say she quit because of Trump's radical views on Obama, but lets face it, Nene probably doesn't even watch the news unless she's a topic on it. Her head is too far up her liposuctioned ass to know what Trump said about Obama. Didn't bother me to see her go, Latoya wasn't going to go far anyway....but Star.. Her arguments were captivating: "YOU DON'T HAVE THE CREDENTIALS TO ARGUE WITH ME!" Shouted Counselor Jones to smelly, emotional rock star Meatloaf. After crying about Painted Turtle kids for two hours, the stale loaf of meat conjured up his grouchy old man alter ego & yelled at Star outside of the boardroom. I have to admit, Star was in charge of branding for the OnStar commercial challenge, kinda made sense for her to go, but the woman pulls in ratings. Her arguments should win Emmy's. Marlee was overlooked by Trump being that she's deaf and happy go lucky. The project manager didn't delegate and let Meatloaf stink up her entire operation. She's adorable but she should have been chopped. Now there will be more no arguments. I can't imagine Meatloaf arguing with Marlee, (her ballroom queen interpreter may be) John Rich is the clear prospective winner of Celebrity Apprentice having won a record breaking amount for St. Jude. As for Star, I have a feeling she's about to become a Supernova. And Nene, I have a feeling Star will be asking her, "Now where's Andy Cohen?!" Is it a negative that the press isn't discussing John Rich's record breaking fundraising for St. Jude? Should the hype be about the charity rather than angry cat fighting Black women? Is NBC and/or Trump exploiting negative stereotypes about Black women for ratings? I can say yes the focus should be more on the charities, I love that aspect of the show and it gives me an excuse not to boycott it. I can't say Black women are being exploited considering the fact that it is reality. These women choose to represent themselves this way, ask Omarosa and she'll tell you they edited a BITCH into her vocal chords. Sure there have been outlandish fights on The Apprentice franchise between non-blacks and men, but the Black women get the most press while Trump smokes a cigar and counts his dead presidents. After all, didn't Omarosa co-produce a television series ALONG SIDE Donald Trump on TV ONE? Right Omarosa. Lets face it, the Black woman brings something to the table no other woman can to television: RATINGS. Whether it's educated or uneducated attitude, the Black woman's swagger and "I'm not having it" persona will bring in the Nielson's every time. But they will always get FIRED in the end.
