The Last Season of The Apprentice

An easy prediction: The Apprentice has aired for the last time. Declining ratings has doomed the show, and there was no mention in the final splash of next season's gala. The Hollywood Bowl finale was 34th place with 7.98 million views and the average was a NBC all time low of 6.24 million. These aren't numbers that advertiser will like.

The firing of the ice queen last year and the introduction of the Donald's pompous and untalented kids Larry, Curly, and Mo to the show sealed the fact the Trump's kingdom is no meritocracy. Picking the botoxed Stefani over James who had won more often only makes sense when we understand that the Trump empire is 98 percent sizzle and two percent steak, where working for General Electric entitles the claim that you own General Electric.

For us lesser mortals, the conclusion of this so-called reality show is a respite to be embraced.
