Today, we held the 2nd edition of our Apprentice Round Table at the BuddyTV World Headquarters and, once again, a good time was had by all.  Last week, we had the three man trio of James Sun, Derek Arteta and Carey Sherell stop by and discuss some of the over-arching issues regarding The Celebrity Apprentice.  This week, we welcomed three alumni of The Apprentice: LA in the form of Jenn Hoffman, Surya Yalamanchili and Carey Sherell, plus Lee Bienstock from season 5 of The Apprentice.  The discussion this week mostly focused on last night's episode of Celebrity Apprentice, which saw the female team Empresario lose for the fourth straight week and softball player Jennie Finch fired. 

Check out the full mp3 audio of the Round Table below.

Highlights:

Jenn was quite outspoken the entire time – she thought that the majority of last night's episode was useless, because of who Trump eventually fired.  Jennie Finch had almost no part in the episode and Jenn contends (with the exception Gene Simmon's dismissal) that the episodes have basically functioned as a way for Trump to thin the herd and eliminate people who aren't going to cut it, regardless of their performance in the tasks.

Carey clears something up for us: last week, we talked about how Gene Simmons didn't want to be on the show and sabotaged himself last week because he wanted to go home.  Not true, according to Carey.  Apparently, Gene asked during that final boardroom if he could bring two different people after he realized the crippling mistake he had made. 

To get the full effect, you're really just going to have to listen to the audio.  There was talk of mixing the teams up, how editing effects everything and even some discussion about Lost, which will be competing directly against Celebrity Apprentice beginning next week.
