Now, I know that you will be shocked and surprised, but Donald Trump is completely sexist. He demonstrated this once again with the latest episode of The Celebrity Apprentice. It’s telling that the show is ending with much less fanfare than has been attempted in the past. No multi-episode show-down, no live reveal, just cutting the contestants down to two and getting to it.
The episode started with the final four; Trace Adkins, Piers Morgan, Carol Alt, and Lenox Lewis; interviewing with two well-known business journalists. The analysts agreed that the strongest contestants were Trace and Carol. Eliminating Lenox was easy - the guy’s a softie. Cute, but a softie.
In the boardroom, Trump fired Lenox, then started talking about who should be in the final two. He conceded that he wanted to see the two men battle it out, and for this reason he fired Carol. Now, I’m not actually sure how I feel about this. Obviously, the man is a neanderthal, but we knew that already. I mean, certainly Carol wouldn’t be able to fight for the title - not only is she a woman, she’s hot. However, at least The Donald admitted was a bullshit reason he was basing his decision on. I’ll admit that it’s more marketable - the Country Gentleman versus the Tactless Brit - but that doesn’t make it right. I haven’t seen the end yet, but at this moment Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York is about to lend a hand to Piers. I used to like her, and now I have to go throw up. Dammit, Fergie! At least I have the entertainment of Trace asking if The Backstreet Boys were really still going by that name and not "The Backstreet Old Men" or "The Backstreet Grey Hairs." Oh, snap!
