January 7th, 9:30pm!

So apparently, Bill still works for Trump, Kelly finished his year and moved on, Kendra is working for a Real Estate firm, Randall works for himself, and Sean (season 5 winner) is working for Trump still. Three of the five left the Trump organization and work elsewhere, very interesting.

Anyone else going to be tuning in this season?

I’ll be watching. Is Carolyn coming back, or is Ivana taking her place?

According to the ‘About’ page on [NBC.com](http://NBC.com) it says “Ivanka and Donald Trump Jr. will return for several episodes, along with previous “Apprentice” winners, as boardroom advisors to their father.” So it seems Ivanka isn’t the standard and is only filling in as needed.

I haven’t decided if I’ll watch or not. I’m a little disgruntled with The Donald, and frankly, the quality of the candidates is depressing. I realize it’s stupid to expect the best and the brightest here, but I’d settle for the marginally competent who aren’t self-obsessed jerks.

Sorry to break it to you, but Carolyn [was fired.](http://money.cnn.com/2006/08/31/news/newsmakers/trump_kepcher/index.htm?section=cnn_topstories)

The irony.
