The Globe: Was Celebrity Apprentice Fixed?

The new issue of supermarket tabloid The Globe is out today and features an interview with Tom Somach, a regular contributor to the Gambling911.com website and reporter for PokerHelper.com.  Somach was asked questions related to whether or not the Celebrity Apprentice finale in which comedian Joan Rivers beat poker pro Annie Duke may have been fixed. 

A relative of Donald Trump is on the board of the 'celebrity apprentice' winner's charity," Somach points out.

This was a hot button topic for all of last week at Gambling911.com but, as a number of readers pointed out, the "relative" in question is actually involved in a nasty divorce with Donald's brother.  The suggestion is that Trump would least likely play "favoritism" towards this woman.  Trump also made mention of the board membership early on in the show.

The Globe issue is dated June 1, 2009 and is available today (May 20) in New York and Los Angeles.  The issue will be available to the rest of the US and world over the weekend.  You can read the story on page 15.

Joan is Evil!

I will never watch Trumps Show or anything that has to do with him again. It was definately fixed that Joan won, she did nothing good the entire show, except cause conflict. It is disgraceful that Trump picked her, she is a has been.

Another point

Joan's new show, that was just announced after she "won" CA, was actually set last Oct or Nov, just about the time CA started taping. The producer for her new show -- set for Sept -- is the same producer for CA, Mark Burnett. Coincidence? Nah!

TRUMP IS A TRAMP

Joan Rivers is a BITCH.......... the things that came out of her mouth and that of her daughter's (good teacher, mom!) were appalling. Their temper tantrums were something to behold and shows why they work with each other and not other people. If they aren't front and center, then it doesn't fly. Annie showed an intelligence to problem solve, integrate people and talents of those around her, think on her feet, and never give up. Joan has some of those talents also, but the personal side of her is so abusive that she should never be put in charge of anything. She is so unprofessional in how she treats people. How much money did she get from her FRIENDS? I don't remember she or Melissa getting money from their circle of rich friends...... maybe they don't have any! I am not suprised at Trump choosing Rivers......... they may be the only friends each other has. AND why would he have BOTH Joan and Melissa on the same program. Trash is all I have to say.

Done with the apprentice

He def favored Rivers. Called her honerable which I think is terrible based on the things she said. I won't watch it anymore...didn't even acknowledge the fact that Rivers was the reason the design team quit???

Fixed? It still is broken!

Fixed or no "The Donald" lost a lot of points with myself and quite a few other people I am sure. For me it is going to take a list of "A" lister celebs before I will watch this show again.
