"Oh goodness," I told myself after doing the episode recap for the penultimate episode of the recently concluded The Celebrity Apprentice. I wasn't worried about Donald Trump's decision to have bitter rivals Joan Rivers and Annie Duke face off in the final task, really--I had that coming, simply because they've been dominant the past season, for better or worse--but more because it was a three-hour finale. Can I really sit through three hours of that?
But that's not really the issue. Besides, I ended up knowing who won in the end anyway. It was a hard-fought battle, if you'll still call it that, and after business slowly gave way to personal vendetta (and lots of money raised for charity), a winner was named: it's Joan. And, well, like everybody else here, I don't think it's a good decision.
