Sunday night started the new season of The Apprentice, and I could barely stay awake through it. The changes smack of desperation to try to breathe life into a format that was interesting for the first two or three seasons and then became staler than thrice-regifted Christmas pudding.

But the NBC promo folks are in full battle gear. Just check out the wacky new hijiinks! (Or don’t check them out if you don’t want the show spoiled.)

• It’s set in LA now!
• Caroline is so fired!
• Instead of her and George, there’s the strangely compelling Ivanka, who studied at Wharton and is very impressive or so her father, The Donald himself, tells us!
• The losers sleep out in a tent!
• The winners sleep in a mansion and lounge around in a hot tub!
• Eighteen candidates now! (Wait, only season 1 had 16, the rest had 18.) That’s NOT changed!
• The winning project manager continues on as project manager next week!
• The winning project manager participates during the board room firing of the losers! Although since he or she didn’t really see what the losers did, they don’t really have much they can give input on!
• Writing bullet points with exclamation points all the time is tiring!

I think I’m gonna drop this show.
