My addiction to Reality TV

Ok.  To be fair, I am not exactly addicted to Reality tv as much as I am fascinated by it and looking forward to certain nights and times to plop in front of my tv and be undisturbed.  But I have always loved The Donald's big hit, The Apprentice.  When they came out with The Celebrity Apprentice it was easier than ever to get my husband to put the remote control down and sit with me.  So we agree on this:  The Apprentice is a great show! 

Here is the current line-up of Talented and somewhat off-beat Collaborators of Donald Trump!

It would not be reality tv if there were not some Mega-Talent and some scary quirky weirdos.  Sorry, I dislike name-calling but I just have to call it like I see it on this one!  I mean, on the one hand you've got Latoya Jackson and Dionne Warwick who are legends in the world of Celebrity.  They are teamed-up alongside of or against more modern-day stars and then some Icons of insanity!  I try not to judge until I have watched at least 5 episodes.  you see, last season when I saw Bret Michaels was playing...well...although I am a Hair-Band relic myself, I was wondering what Donald Trump was thinking bringing him on board.  I did not expect him to last.  BUT, after a few episodes I began to notice his ingenuity and his determination.  Also, under that "never give up" spirit, there was humility.  Needless to say, I became a fan that season...a fan of Bret Michaels.  I hunted down the Snapple Iced Tea he created on one of his challenges and I cried and prayed when he had his brain hemmorage.  That season increased my humanity simply by reintroducing me to someone I thought I knew.  I didnt know him...but NOW I think I do.

Anyway, I did not mean to go in that direction...I did not mean to go on and on about my LOVE for Bret Michaels and how he has inspired me to be stronger!  I meant to rave about my favorite Celebrity Apprentice from this current season.  This person epitomizes strength and grace and just has every good quality a person should have!  She is the incomparable Marley Matlin.  I simply Love her!

I Love strong women!  Marley has a way of placing her words and ideas in the exactly perfect manner to achieve the best outcome...not just for her own purposes but for the good of many.  This quality exists in real Leaders.  I have no doubt that Marley will come out as the winner this season.  On last night's episode, Richard Hatch (RI native!!  My Home State!)...sorry Richard, did not stand a chance once she set her mind on persuading Donald Trump to eliminate him.  Richard failed to seize his opportunity to defend his accusers and explain why he failed to raise money during a Charity fundraiser.  Any other person when faced with the offer The Donald gave Marley would have probably gone the way of peace and allowed the Don not to fire one of the guys.  But Marley was not cutthroat.  She just placed the simple query...what makes today any different from last week?  We all have a job to do.  I Love it!  I Love her!  And she will win.
