TV Tonight: The Celebrity Apprentice

BuzzSugar — Thu, 03 Jan 2008 06:30:00 -0800

The Donald is back - and this time, he's bringing a bunch of quasi-celebrities with him. Donald Trump's The Celebrity Apprentice premieres tonight on NBC, marking the seventh season of the show and the first since Trump said he was quitting back in the spring.

The 14 candidates came by their fame (or, in some cases, "fame") in a host of different ways: Two are Olympic gold medalists, several are actors, and a couple made their names on other reality TV shows - including Omarosa, the brash contestant from the first season of The Apprentice. Each has picked a charity to sponsor throughout the season's challenges, and the winner will get $250,000 for their organization of choice. In tonight's episode, the candidates will be hawking hot dogs, and they won't hesitate to put their status to use in the process. I'm probably most curious to see Gene Simmons, but TV executive Nely Galan seems like a force to be reckoned with.

Can the famous faces revitalize a franchise that tanked in the ratings last season? One thing's for sure: I can't wait till SavvySugar gets here, because she'll be sharing all the dirt on what happens in the boardroom. In the meantime, to watch a preview for the season, just read more.
