So yeah, I stopped watching Apprentice. It was the episode that Penn got fired. At this point I was tired of almost all the leftovers celebrities, other than Arsenio. I honestly felt that he was playing for the charity first. This might be editing, but I bought in to that narrative.

Penn’s run had me excited. It was looking like he was going to beat the game, even with the game actively playing against him.

Apprentice has two cheats built into it. First, every other event is “judged,” usually by a Trump. So if one team is losing a lot, the judges find a reason for that team to win.

Second, there’s the issue of sending three people to the board room. Penn did a masterful job of manipulating his team, as they rarely brought him into the boardroom. But eventually there was only three people on his team. And eventually they hit a judged event. And that was the end of Penn’s run in a rigged game.

For the record, it’s very likely that Mr. Trump’s hair is the source of all of humanity’s troubles.
