Who else saw this terrible reality show? They played Jenga at the end to decide who would be eliminated! JENGA!

I give it a few more episodes before Mark Cuban gets the boot.

It's definitely different. It's basically just MC making people jump through hoops for his amusement and the promise of $1,000,000.00. It doesn't look like you can apply any strategy at all to this game which is where it really lacks. Unless you are Marc you have no idea what the format for this thing will be...

That's what makes this show so cool! Nobody knows what to expect and nobody knows how to win. It seems that anybody can actually win, unless Cuban just doesn't like you

My girlfriend tried out for this show in Dallas, but didn't make it. Cuban was supposedly in another room watching the tryouts on television. Who knows, she had fun anyways!

I thought it was funny. (in a haha and a weird way)
Too bad Cuban doesn't have a trapdoor to send the rejects through.
And too bad the Spoiler: hot redhead had to lose.

If you missed the first episode, it's on again tonight.

There's another similar series coming out on Fox called The Rebel Billionaire with Richard Branson of Virgin Records fame.
It's a cross between The Amazing Race, and The Apprentice with a little Survivor thrown into the mix.

What's the difference between it and Andy Dick's Apprentice?
