Martha vs. The Donald

Am a fan of Donald Trump's The Apprentice. It used to be shown on ABC 5 every Monday night at 7pm. They moved it to a later timeslot -- Monday nights at 10pm. Yay! I used to miss a lot of episodes because of meetings and other stuff. But now, I can be home by 10 and still get to watch it. Martha's version is shown on Tuesday evenings. And while watching Martha's version, I couldn't help but compare it with The Donald's.

The Boardroom
Donald Trump's boardroom is dark and intimidating, with heavy interiors and a lot of wooden pieces of furniture. Martha's boardroom has that light, airy feeling that almost makes you want to spend a lot of time in it, which, in this case, is not good.

The Firing
Donald Trump has become famous for his line -- "You're fired!" Martha, on the other hand, is almost apologetic when she fires the booted out candidate. She puts it in another way --"One of you will have to... go... home." After she fired Jeff (the first candidate to be fired), she even wrote him an inspirational note. :)

The Personality
Donald exudes an aura of confidence. I feel it even if he's inside the television. Martha seems unsure of herself. Maybe because she knows this is the first time the whole world will see her management style?!?

Anyways, I'm just happy that there are now two tv shows to look forward to. Also, Raymond downloaded the first three episodes of the O.C.'s season 3!!! I can't wait for Lost and Desperate Housewives!
