Reality T.V. has hit an all time low with the airing of "Celebrity Apprentice." This show should be called, "Who the Heck are These People, Apprentice." I mean the collection of stars could not be further from the term celebrity. I know that it is sometimes hard to cast these shows, but the logic of these picks eludes most people I have spoken to. Donald Trump is a smart man and quite savvy, it is a surprise that he would let his show go this route.

The line up of forgettable folks, is as follows:

Omarosa: The most annoying contestant in the history of the show. So let's bring her back.

Tito Ortiz: Ultimate fighter, not ultimate businessman.

Piers Morgan: The Brit that judges a talent shows. America's Got Talent, he does not.

Jenny Finch: Olympian Soft Ball...screams apprentice, doesn't it.

Tiffany Fallon: Pageants and Playboy? Of course she should be on Apprentice.

Nadia Comeneci: Can she score a perfect 10 in business...who cares.

Trace Adkins: Good ole boy for business.

Carol Alt: The first "supermodel," now that is fame, which is also a show from the eighties, like her career.

Gene Simmons: He suits the show, Nothing to say, he has started cornering the "reality show" genre.

Lennox Lewis: Dodging and weaving through the competition as only a boxer can. Don't boxers get hit in the head...a lot?

Marilu Henner: "Taxi! Follow that career!"

Nely Galan: WHO? Oh yeah she was the life coach from that Swan show... now that is a celebrity.

Stephen Baldwin: as soon as I figure out which one Stephen is I will make a comment. I think he is the 27th Balwin. He was born right after Bubba Balwin.

Vincent Pastore: Every show needs a "Big Pussy."

In the end the show is just another show with stars that are not quite stars. Nothing makes it stand out, you watch the show wondering who these people are and why they are on a prime time reality show. In the end you lose interest fast. "Apprentice" is a show that either hits or misses, this version not only misses, but is not even close.

The person responsible for casting this show should be...say it with me...FIRED!
