The apprentice
I watched The Apprentice yesterday on Channel 5. It's the first time I think I managed to sit through one whole episode. I think it's quite a feat because as you all know, I'm not really a fan of reality shows. And that includes everything from Survivor to American Idol...sigh.
But as I watched The Apprentice yesterday, I began to see that reality shows do have their own charm. And there are life lessons to be learnt in this game. (even though I'm still wondering if the producers orchestrated the plot or not)
The lesson I learnt yesterday: Being a team player is really very important, but being on good terms with everyone alone doesn't guarantee success. Ya gotta have some real talent.
The second lesson: Don't think that just because everyone agree with you, you will have your way. And worse....don't try to pressurize the big boss into letting you have your way just because everyone agrees with you. He's still the boss.
The third lesson: Play by the rules. Respect authority. The rules are there for a reason. If you change rules just because things don't go your way, you'll lose credibility and authority. No one will respect a leader who is fickle-minded.
Well, although I feel sorry for Danny who was fired, I gotta admit that Donald Trump made some valid points. It sucks to have someone like Michael on the team but that doesn't mean that the team is doom just because of a negative person. If anyone's interested, here's a link to more http://www.nbc.com/nbc/The_Apprentice_3/lessons_learned/020305.shtml
As far as reality shows go....this may be one that I'll continue watching. Even though I went ahead and spoil myself by looking at the official website and discovering who's the final winner. But hey, guess what, I heard Martha Stewart is going to be in for the next season of The Apprentice.
