Sal Cinquemani Slant Magazine Dear Donald. It's about time you started taking responsibility for your steadily declining reality show The Apprentice. Rated: 2/4 May 21, 2015 Full Review Andy Dehnart Reality Blurred The odd thing about The Apprentice 5's premiere, I think, is that it shows no growth on behalf of its concept or its star.

D M Under the pretence of entrepreneurial gamesmanship, an American fraudster/Russian agent successfully boosts his public profile for a presidential campaign which will ultimately mark the beginnings to the collapse of Western civilization. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/14/25 Full Review Nathan J The old man in the show is obviously wearing a diaper. Why would we care who he hires and fires. Not to mention his multiple bancruptcies. It's impossible to watch this train wreck. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/13/25 Full Review Read all reviews
