TOUR DE TRUMP: I'm loving the Donald Trump reality series "The Apprentice," but a couple of things: one, the producers are going to have a delicate balancing act with that guy Sam who, despite being completely nuts and thus more deserving of firing than anyone else, must be kept around simply because he's the most entertaining person on the show.
And another thing: even if you haven't seen the show, you're undoubtedly aware of the promos, which always feature Trump looking at the unlucky contestant and snapping, "you're fired!" The commercials before the first episode had him doing it to his right, and sure enough, the first candidate cashiered was the MD/MBA grad David who was- that's right, sitting on the right side of the table. In the second episode promos, The Donald said it straightforward- and Jason, the fired contestant, was sitting in the middle. In those for next week, he appears to go to his left- so in the boardroom scene, just so you know, the contestant on that side of the table will be the next to go.
And finally- who needs a gold-plated apartment?
