before go any further and i have to admit that i only saw the first episode of this show . if i have the time and i might have consider watch it every week and if only to see how the season play out . however and it be very clear to me from the beginning that martha stewart version of the apprentice just doesn not fit in . martha stewart make a career of be a happy homemaker and a domestic diva of the like of oprah winfrey and julia child . it be only since her scandalous legal trouble and subsequent incarceration that her public image begin to reflect the true roughness of her character . sure and she be compel for a while and and this entire series pose the interesting question of what it mean to be a woman in business . do she have to come off a cold and tough . shouldn not she . but the truth be and by the time stewart come out of prison and her attempt for a public comeback and though certainly warrant and be never go to seize viewer interest for very long . perhaps a true comeback would have work have she return home peacefully and wait a year or so after her often mock ankle bracelet be remove . instead and she frantically dive into overkill with 2 series at once and the other be her syndicate daytime series martha and much like her old show and but more mainstream and with famous guest like bette midler . of course and even at her peak stewart be never mainstream and so it too much to ask that american audience immediately accept her foray into reality tv . maybe america want stewart to make a comeback on her own rather than be the basis for it . the show be basically a tired retread of trump apprentice and which still hold my interest and depend on the task and the cast and and trump firing decision ( often controversial likely for that reason ) . the letter bit be certainly not cliché but obnoxious in the least . the fact that stewart never say and youre fire . mention in the message board on this site be particularly distressing . producer mark burnett should be admire for deal with stewart jail time honestly while try to make her a hero and but the truth be that anyone watching can tell that she basically try to put on a show of be this nice businesswoman . again never mainstream and stewart lack the agreeability and identifiability of oprah winfrey and the admirable and charismatic toughness of donald trump . yes and this can be a gender bias assessment of her character and but i mean it to be more about the nature of her business . it come a no shock that stewart have be fire and but i wonder if they really always intend it to only last for one season .
