Kelly wins the Apprenticeship

Yeah, yeah, so Kelly Perdew won the danged thing after what amounted to a coronation by the audience. How could Trump go against the crowd? But for every truly "live" moment, there were umpteen prescripted ones, from the "real voices" giving their opinion's to Kelly's fake victory limo ride. Another blogger saw them pre-taping that part earlier in the week, and if you think about it, do you think Kelly would really pump his fists like that -- twice! -- unless he were pretending to show excitement. Anyhow, get ready for the third round (sorry, that reference was implanted in my brain from the witless hype for The Contender) when "book smarts" faces off against "street smarts" for a job praying to the altar of Trump. Sorry to say, but the teaser promo for Apprentice 3 looks like a snoozer.
