Here we go again—Donald Trump will be busy saying “you’re fired” to whoever it is that messed up.  But that what we get with The Celebrity Apprentice anyway.  On its second season, it’s still that heady mix of intense mind games, convoluted strategies, backfired plans, fighting contestants—and, as with the last season, a little bit of eye candy.  Part, of hopefully all, of the assistance comes from here at BuddyTV, and right below are all the links to our coverage of the show.  We’ll be here for the next few months.  Here’s hoping you are, too.
