Money, Money, Money...

I know what I don't like.

And "The Apprentice" is definitely something that does NOT figure in the list of things I don't like.

I have heard about the show before, but I never got a chance to watch it.

After watching it, I have to tell you that I am impressed. Very impressed.

Not that I think the show is probably the best reality show on TV, but due to the fact that a businessman was so smart that he was able to make money in something really different (Media) from his own business (Real Estate) by selling what he knew. Now that is what I call a shrewd businessman.

Sure, some of you might argue that there have been movies and sitcoms on the Corporate World before, but a reality show? The man really is a genius and probably deserves all the money (including those he earns from this show) in his coffers. The one thing that I did feel would have added to the dramatism of the show would have been to seat both the teams (Gold Rush & Synergy Corps) opposite to each with Mr.Trump seated at the head of the table. I would have added to the feeling of confrontation between the two teams.

I thought that Mr. Trump's trademark line, "You are fired" was a bit corny but overall, I give the show two big thumbs up. Especially to the business acumen of "The Donald".

Oh! And I almost forgot... I have an open proposal for Mr.Trump. In case my dream of starting a company comes true....

"Mr. Trump. You are HIRED"

Update: A guy called Guy shares almost the same thoughts as me pretty much around the same time as I did... I guess great men think alike (Err... what is the emoticon for Tongue in Cheek? :)
