Martha stewart is a great business woman, but this apprentice spin up to a highly successful reality show is a disaster from the start, the hosting is terrible, the writing is a mess, the teleplay is idiotic, the players are obnioxus, the camera-work is useless, This is yet another reality show gone stale after the success of the rest, Martha can be a good business woman, but she is wasted in this one. Now I Occasionally criticized reality shows for dumbing down television and American culture, but this is a reality show, that's not nearly as entertaining as a lot of reality shows, including the original apprentice itself, this is one of the worst shows of the decade.

......do you really think that the position of Body & Soul editor was the job chosen at the outset? The position was created for Dawna because obviously that would best suit her talents.If the winner had been David the job would have involved Internet Marketing. The final job was tailored to the winner.This wasn't a fake nor a setup. How could anyone expect Bethenny to win? There wouldn't have been anyway she would be able to play the Corporate game and she mistreated her underlings. Who needs someone like that to cause problems in their organization? Dawna was the right choice because she fit in, remained calm and worked well with others.

After watching every episode hoping to learn something... I did.-The Show is a Fraud!! Dawna was probably chosen before the series even began...Martha Stewart's available position is at a sports/health magazine. How ironic that Dawna is the publisher of the same type of magazine. It's a win-win for Martha and she'll make millions off Dawna's hire.1. She kills off a competing publication and steals their lead talent2. She increases her publication's advertising by adding Dawna's advertisers to her book 3. She increases her publication's circulation by combining her subscription list with that from Dawna's magazineHow lame to have fooled us all

I have watched the first 2 episodes of The Apprentice:Martha Stewart and have to say that if you are a fan of The Apprentice (Donald Trump) you may like this. The show follows the basic formula created by Trump's show, a number of candidates (if they are truly the best I have to wonder) to compete in business related tasks. 2 teams, various abilities and personalities, working under pressure, in order to get a contract to work for Martha Stewart at a nice salary. The tasks here are more oriented to Martha's core business but they are still neat little tasks.The best part of this show, like Trump's, are the personality conflicts and the struggle to see what one is made of.The only parts that I do not like are the lack of input or conversation from Martha's 2 overseers, (but Carolyn and George were not all that vocal in the first season of Trump's Apprentice) and the little letter writing scene at the end, but other than that it's good.
