Reality Show Slowly Sinks In
EAST LANSING, MI—Though she’d lived in denial for nearly a month, toy-store manager Ellen Cranmer admitted Monday that the reality show The Apprentice has finally sunk in. “Normally I never watch those stupid reality shows, and I certainly don’t integrate them into my regular week,” Cranmer said. “But since around the time of the Trump Ice challenge, I’ve been passing on social events so I can be home Thursdays at 9 p.m.” Cranmer said that she was shocked when she realized she hadn’t missed a single episode, and saddened by her belief that Amy will win.

From column in the Detroit Free Press last Thursday:

Still, Omarosa has emerged victorious, judging from the opportunities showered on her since her exit. A political consultant who once worked for the Clinton-Gore White House, she’s now planning to design a line of business suits and accessories inspired by the clothing she wore on the show.

She’s also fielding offers to get back on television, perhaps as a host of a reality show or a political commentator for the the 2004 presidential election. “There’s a deal that would put me on the air very soon, but I can’t tip my hand,” she hints.

She’s proud the offers have been for smart projects, not “silly things like jumping off a roof or eating bugs.” And while she won’t say the show portrayed her unfairly as a rhymes-with-witch, she does allow that “what I saw was just not my reality.”

For Omarosa, getting canned is proving to be a great career move. “If I knew that being so bad would have been good, I would have been badder,” she says with a laugh.

Africana’s Reality TV Recap has the best take on last night’s The Apprentice:

The Apprentice didn’t do much better in the category of interesting television. With Omarosa gone, the rest of the apprentices’ flaws seem to shine. It’s kind of hard to cover your butt after your scapegoat makes an exit. Among the things we learn now that Omarosa is no longer there: Kwame is worthless (absolutely lovely to look at, but worthless, nonetheless); Amy is a terrific contestant, but so arrogant and full of herself that she makes Omarosa look like a nun; Heidi couldn’t buy class if it was on sale at Goodwill; Nick is an utter jerk; Troy speaks a type of English that needs to be taught in schools (Africana’s Quote of the Week: “…like looking up the ass of a dead dog with fleas…”); and Katrina is a whiner. Actually, I noticed all of that weeks ago, but all everyone seemed to care about was Omarosa, so it feels good to be able to dump on some other people, for a change.

This week’s project involved managing a fleet of rickshaws and Team Versacorp won, mainly because all Team Protégé could come up with in the way of brilliant ideas was…hang on, now…charging folks for rides! Woo hoo. Versacorp, on the other hand, sold advertising on the backs of the pedi-cabs, which led to Katrina screeching to Bill that he used her likeness in order to make money, and that was unethical. I agree. After all, the only person who should be able to flaunt her body and pretty face in order to wrangle men into spending money is Katrina!

A twist leads to Troy (the losing project manager) sending someone back to the suite (of course, he picks Kwame — why is it when the men stick together it’s seen as normal but when the women do, Trump comments on it?), and loser Heidi shows that she lacks not only class, but common sense as well, backtalking to Trump and Company that their thoughts of her are nothing but their opinions. As Carolyn reminds Heidi, their opinions are the only ones that actually matter. The icing on the cake was Heidi departing with an attitude of “Well, I wanted to go home anyway.” Sure you did, Heidi. Sure you did. That’s why you called Troy an a–hole for bringing you into the boardroom, right?

NewMexiKen wants you informed. Here’s the latest on Omarosa. This report is from FOXNews.com:

“I’m just going to move on,” she [Omarosa] said. “Ereka has no press, and I see this as a way she’s trying to get back out in the press and exploit it. Ereka doesn’t have a job or any job prospects on the horizon – she lives in her mother’s basement, for crying out loud.”

“She’s at home clipping articles about me. Her obsession with me is going to continue, and I don’t want to feed into it,” she said.

NewMexiKen can’t wait until newly fired Heidi mixes in. Wrestle Mania meets The Apprentice.

appear to be about up, but for information on her lawsuit, here is what NewMexiKen posted yesterday.

Omarosa maintains she sustained a concussion and head trauma after she was hit by falling debris as the apprentices renovated an apartment. Is she planning to sue the show?

“I’m not gonna be a baby and whine about it,” Omorosa maintains. “I’m a tough woman. I survived it…”

Her bio from The Apprentice.

Omarosa is a former political appointee in the Clinton and Gore White House. She currently works as a political consultant in Washington, DC. Omarosa had a humble youth, growing up in the projects of Youngstown, Ohio, but she eventually graduated from Central State University. She also earned a Master’s degree from Howard University and is now working toward her Ph.D, which should be awarded to her in the spring of 2004. Omarosa’s hobby is pageantry and she enjoys working as an image consultant who has successfully trained a Miss USA, Miss Taiwan and Miss Guyana.

Omarosa continues to generate a lot of visits from the search engines.

NewMexiKen is considering an all-Omarosa format.

Serious pop culture question: Do you think Omarosa would be as well-known if she had a name like Amy or Lisa?

Another serious pop culture question: Is “serious pop culture” an oxymoron?

NewMexiKen knows who Omarosa is but knows nothing about any lawsuit.

“Omarosa lawsuit” is, however, bringing lots of visits to NewMexiKen today via Google.

So I thought I would help Google out: Omarosa, The Apprentice, Trump, lawsuit, NBC, Trump Ice, Kwame, Versacorp, Protégé, Heidi, Troy, Katrina, Nick, Ereka.
