    Celeb apprentice is awful. The solution for every task is to be famous and who're yourself out

    I guess it shouldn't
    But it's not a very good show anyway
    Even in it's heyday before shows like MXC or Ninja Warrior it was on during the day on syndication for a reason

    Man, that chick who won tonight breezed through the eliminator like it ain't no thang. She only had problems with the hand bike, and just cruised through everything else, finishing the course in 2 minutes flat.

    Also, I didn't see it in previous episodes, but in Assault, they have the NERF logo plastered all over everything. I don't know how I missed it before.

    Man, Hogan's fine to talk. He's got some skills on mic. But I agree about everyone else.

    I was also contemplating that. I was thinking that maybe it's because if you fall at an odd angle (from an event like Joust), even if it's a big poofy mat, there's still less give than water. Sure, water will give you a good smack from surface tension, but you'll go right through. If a dude fell backwards or sideways wrong, there's more possibility of bending in half the wrong way on a pad than with water. That's the best I can figure, anyway.

    Man when Titan was giving his after school special, speech after he was knocked down in the joust I just shook my head. Yes yes with determination we can achieve anything.

    Also was I the only one thinking about this when Titan was talking to Adam as the medics checked him out?

    It's a custom Mustang and the lights in the grill don't even work the right way. It's a fucking disgrace.
    What is with NBC bringing back shows from the eighties? First we have American Gladiators now Knight Rider.

    It's all due to the writers strike. We're seeing an increase in re-runs, increase in reality TV, and cable shows being aired on network TV. The other networks have been able to get by hiring cheaper writers but NBC is suffering a bit harder I think because the stars of a lot of their hit shows (30 Rock, The Office, My Name is Earl) are also head writers.

    Good lord. Evan not only looks like Booster Gold, but he almost convinced me that is after ripping that eliminator a new hole. Beating the record time by 31 seconds was amazing.

    People in season 2 need to learn from him when it comes to kicking their legs on the arm pedals. You'll never get through that task just having them dangling

    Upon further research, I have decided that it would be Crush who would wreck me.

    She would wreck everyone in this thread.

    You need strong legs for Muay Thai, especially women.
