I agree with you here, sgn. I can't stand that little fuck. However, I told my wife, "watch, they're gonna try and dump this guy on the first episode." Sure enough, when Magna lost the first job, they tried to hang it on Danny. The whole spiel about how he dresses proved to me they think of him as an easy scapegoat for whatever will go wrong.
Now, I hope he goes quickly, because if I have to hear that annoying "UNBELIEVABLE" over and over, I'm gonna put my foot through the t.v.

hahaha. minus having a wife, we sound like the exact same person right about now.
I absolutely loathe reality tv and think it's one of the most detrimental things our society has seen in a long time. I remember as a kid, the arguments were flying about how Beavis and Butthead and Jim Carrey (among other shows/people) were largely responsible for the "dumbing down of America" and how ridiculous I thought it was, because if a person is smart enough to take that entertainment purely for its value in comedy, then you shouldn't be dumbed down by it. But now that I'm older, it's all about reality tv, and as hard as I try to look I see absolutely no redeeming qualities in anything that it has to offer. Not only that, but it serves as just more proof that the apocalypse is upon us.
With that said, I'm addicted to The Apprentice like it's black tar heroin. Why? Haven't the foggiest. But, it hooked me early, and it hooked me hard.
Now, I understand that Danny brings an intriguing aspect to the show. Watching him bumble through that first task made me wonder how unbelievably retarded the rest of the applicants had to have been to have lost out to this submoron. And the sad thing is, I know America is just gonna this guy up if he somehow survives the next few weeks. I guess it's just that bizarre fascination people (especially in our country) have with watching train wrecks in human form.
Ugh, the more I think about it, the more I want to beat him senseless with that awful guitar. And on a sidenote, is it just me or does he look like a somewhat slimmed down Michael Moore?
