Apprentice, Donald Trump vs. Mark Cuban

Yes, I know this one is a bit off topic. However, I find it to be such a good idea. I admit, I stopped watching The Apprentice a few years ago as the quality dropped. And from a business perspective, it makes complete sense to cancel. The show would have held my interest if the producers would have provided the contestants with more fundamental business tasks (I fully realize this would have been a challenge and run the risk to be fundamentally boring outside of a core audience). But, alas, there may be reason to keep the show on for another season and it comes from Mark Cuban.

In his post, Donald – Need a Job?, in addition to some witty top-10 style commentary, Mark comes up with quite an interesting idea:

…you can go back to NBC and ask for one more season of The Apprentice. Me against You. We let the audience pick the tasks and our teams and we let Rosie O’Donnell and Melania be in the boardroom and decide who wins or loses.

Now for those who like reality television shows, that would be good television. And there has to be something valuable you can do on the web with it. Only way to top it would be Donald Trump vs. Mark Cuban in Survivor.

    We should swap the UK apprentice’s for the US ones

    I haven’t seen the UK Apprentice but anything to add some creativity would have helped the show. It wouldn’t interest me in viewing it b/c it would still function as a reality gossip type show instead of business oriented. But perhaps the cultural lens would add some interesting dynamics.
