Apprentice season 3 premeire 1/20/05

Tonight is the start of season 3 of the Apprentice. Once more into the breach, dear friends, once more!

For those who came in late, this season the starting teams are somewhat different. Whereas seasons 1 and 2 started out with men vs. women, season 3 starts out as Book Smarts (college and graduate degrees) vs. Street Smarts (self-made people, without degrees). As the ads say, which side do you root for?

Donald Trump has previously favored the college-educated contestants over the non-collegiate contestants. That implies that the Street Smarts team starts out as the underdogs. But anything can happen in the concrete jungle....

Even though Twickster's was first, this one had the date in the title. So, I am going with Ben's. (Ok....I already have this one open....!)

I must say, I don't like "theme" sides. The best thing about these types of shows is that there is interaction between different types of people. I like to see an Ivy leaguer interact with the street hustler.

I hope there is a switch relatively soon.
