re: last night’s APPRENTICE — Val thinks I’m crazy to even suggest this, but I have a hard time believing that the reappearance of potential buyers who just happen to put in a winning bid two minutes before the players’ deadline isn’t evidence of the strong guiding hand of SURVIVOR producer Mark Burnett.

I admit that there are crazy rich people, yes, and that they are often unpredictable, but only on TV, in the waning hours of a hit show like THE APPRENTICE, do those kinds of “unbelievably lucky coincidences” happen.

… yes, I’m watching THE APPRENTICE. Shut up.
