Yes, I know this is a "long" way off, but I was curious to know whom who you guys think should be on the second season of the show. After seeing the first season close, and all involved with the connections etc.

Can you imagine Celebrity Apprentice if everyone was like Chase. How BORING! You need good guys and bad guys. stupid people. annoying people-a good mix of personalities. I have to believe that Piers was encouraged to exaggerate his aggressive personality to spice things up. If everyone got along there would be no spice. How about Chef Gordon Ramsey on the next season? Maybe Marie Osmond or Donny. How about Oliver North, Jerry Springer, Paris Hilton- ha- Bill Gates, Martha Stewart, Charles Barkley. It could get real interesting.

A good disscussion should also include who should not be on the show next season. Anyone with a past history of behaviorial problems, arrest, criminal background and controversies.
We need more highly respected role models with proven history of Charity and business backgrounds.
PPeople who can work with different backgrounds.
Character, integrity, honesty should be paramount.

Mar 28 2008, 02:42 PM
I don't care abour character, integrity, and honesty. I want to see some real jerks go head to head. Maybe throw in some weaklings to make things interesting. If you're looking for role models, tv is not the place to find a good one. For your children's sake try being a good one yourself. How boring would the show be if everyone was nice like Chase. VERY! Personally I would like to see alot more backstabbing and sabotage. Chef Gordon Ramsey would be great on next seasons show. There's got to be alot of real meanies out there that would really make things interesting.

Mar 28 2008, 03:28 PM
Never said Ramsey was a backstabber-just said he'd be great on the show. However on Ramsey's shows he is the one in complete control so there is no need for backstabbing. So actually we don't really know if he is or isn't. We do know that he is one tough cookie though. I wonder if he would display any tact (what Piers was accused of having none of). I think Ramsey would make Piers look like Bo Peep!

I wonder who'll be on the next season (not that it really matters since all that matters is the size of the person's rolodex), I could see maybe one of Stephen Baldwin's brothers being on possibly since Stephen did so well for his mom's charity. Who do you all wish would be on for the next season of CA?

Mar 28 2008, 06:24 PM
Unless you have a set of criteria, in order to choose from what's the point of having a discussion about it? Other then what I just wrote a little while ago about having candidates that have highest ideals.
The behavior of candidates needs to be considered towards other candidates, judges, the public, how they work in the tasks, with other candidates etc.
I don't think any of the Baldwin family would even consider the prospect of being on the show, they already had their time they were very successful. They will use exposure to promote their family's nonprofit organization.
We need to have more role models not less.

Marie Osmond - that covers a little bit country
Donnie Osmond - that covers a little bit rock and roll
Glen Campbell - oh wait, he was an abusive spouse . . . never mind
Kenny Rogers - he needs more exposure sot hat people will recognize him with his new face
Terry Fallon - the saint of America's Got Talent
The Pope - just in case someone gets out of line
Danny Bonaduce - since Omarosa can't actually have three tries, can she?
and starring Adam Sandler as the Beaver

I don't know who I want but I do know I want them to be Celebs that are real and someone that the majority of the public would know if not by sight then by name at least. Like and no offense to them I had no clue who Jennie, Nely or Tiffany were. I definitely knew who Gene, Trace, Stephen, Marilu, Carol, Vinny and Lennox were and I had heard of Tito and Piers even if I really didn't know anything about them. And while yes I had heard of Omarosa IMO she is not a celeb and someone like her should not be on the show. It would be like them bringing Johnny Fairplay from Survivor on as a celeb. He is just a trouble maker celeb wanna be.

E...there you go... Dr. Drew! At least ONE mature presence on the show.
How about John McEnroe? ( I know his temper days are supposed to be over but who knows, hold the cereal and he might get ehm..

backed up, I mean back to his 'old' self
Actually, I started a thread about this too but if it is still here, it's buried somewhere underneath the other threads AND for the life of me I don't remember who I wrote down myself (duh)
Oh wait, I think I wrote down Kathy Griffin. She's got quite the mouth and seems quick on her feet. Team her up with someone she's made fun off and voila, a few little sparks to get things going lol..
I'll throw out some Austinites (or partimers) in there as well:
Lance Armstrong
Sandra Bullock
Willie Nelson
Kinky Friedman (especially if he has a book to sell, hell he might actually run for office again)
Kinky is a bit of a womanizer so again..potential sparks, the good or the bad kind.
I 'was' thinking Matthew McCoughnehey (sp?) but he's about to have a baby with his girlfriend so that probably won't fly. Still, I'm thinking target audience(s) and egos. Some of the celebs might have them, some might not.

only request i would make is actual "celebrities", people who have actually accomplished something or have a talent...
its stupid that the people who don't want to watch it are even making a comments on here, if u don't want another series y r u on this thread? mostly likely they will watch it again!

If your going to have a brit in it, have Billy Connolly, dont let his comedic background fool you he is strongheaded and very imaginative and soaked in wit.

I would love to see Celebrities vesus Regular Small Business owners, and the tasks not to be: call your friends, but make money yourself by selling or promoting things, in other words...all rolodex aside, let's see what you can do as a person, an individual. There has to be a way to still keep a dollar amounts potential high through creating tasks that would be dollar efficient, just no safety net of others to pull from. Clear "equal opportunity" as other Apprentice shows have been, and let's see who can do what.
Martha would be good ?

, would love to see Al Gore (or any political celebrity)- he is entertaining, they should bring Ms. Kutcher (former right hand of Donald, would love to see her style in action), some good talk show hosts for someone eloquent to listen to, actors for aesthetics, business stars for something to learn, but please, no more sports people, they seem out of their element and hard to watch that without feeling sorry for them, knowing how great they are, and how unfit this show is for them to shine ...their talents, they seem also very laid back:) to watch, no dynamics it seems (even though I liked Lennox)...

If we're going to use celebrities or well-known b-listers.
1. Suzanne Somers. She's writtern books, thigh master, and like Marilu hasn't done a show in years.
2. Bruce Jenner
3. Martina Navritalova
4. I like Danny Bonaduce (from an earlier post)
5. Sylvester Stallone.
6. Goldie Hawn
7. Mylie Cyrus
8. Jim Cramer (we need another a**hole, and he needs to know what it's like on the other side of the desk)
9. Bill Rancic (why not? if Omarosa was called back, why not Bill? And let's see if he can pull of a double win?)
10. Gwen Stefani (she's been marketing her own products)
11. Paula Abdul (wouldn't be the Apprentice without one wingnut. She'd fit right in)
12. David Hasselhoff (Piers is endorsing this.)
13. Jeremy Clarkson (because he's from Britain, like Piers who can be just as snotty)
14. Star Jones (if the donald can't get Rosie, Star would be my next choice)

My daughter wants to see Josh Turner on a CA. She said I had my fave, so she should get hers.
In regards to some country stars that are also awsome (sp?) business persons, I would like to see Reba or Dolly Parton. I know there are others that are great in business besides being singers, but for the life of me I can't think of any others.
I've been thinking who I would want to see on another CA. Thought of something like Country vs. Rock. Might get a little interesting. Have both "old" and "new" of each on there.
Since I don't watch a lot of TV, or get to the movies much, I'm a little limited. I know mainly country stars since I really only listen to radio now.
One thing I would like to see is a few more tasks without the rolodex. I think it's sometimes more fun to see the celebs get out and push the products to the 'common' people. See the tactics they come up with this way.
Now you got me thinking too much. Hope your happy

Sorry!
I absolutely LOVE Reba, and I know squat about her music even! (tsk tsk shame on me) She actually was great in her tv sitcom..yeah yeah, I probably was one of the few watching it (the show got canned). I also love Dolly. She'll 'shock 'n awe' everyone in donating money

! (I'm remembering one of her performances on a fourth of july special from the Mall in DC, she's hilarious)
Both women would be awesome business women. Especially Dolly, she's a very smart, down to earth business woman. Her left and right brain work in perfect harmony I think. I'd be watching celeb appr just for those two, or either of them as NBC would not get two country stars.
Ok, you're saying old and new country vs rock..hmm.. how about David Lee Roth. I was a Van Halen fan but merely music people, no worries. David Lee strikes me as having a good dose of ego (hehe) and I bet he'd get booted pretty soon but we're talking about entertainment right? Who knows. I can't think of another rock entity at this moment. (someone else mentioned Sammy Hagar and he'd probably fare better than David L)
Now Dolly and Reba, there are two names to put forth to NBC. Can you imagine Omarosa trying to pull crap in front of Dolly?? Helllooow Dolly and good bye Oma!!
who the heck is Josh whatever his name is?? I'm out of the loop with the teenage idols. As long as it's not Hannah Montana types. I despise kids being manipulated to buy all kinds of merchandise by manufactured 'stars' vs real talent that made it on its own.. (hence no more cable tv for us..which equals no commercials !!)
