A Mark Burnett-produced `Apprentice' spin-off starring lifestyle entrepreneur Martha Stewart, who, like Donald Trump, oversees wannabe protégés in weekly challenges, until she has eliminated all but one job candidate. But there's no `You're fired' here, just a polite, but firm, farewell letter handwritten by Stewart herself. The winning contestant receives an executive position in the domestic doyenne's company.
  • Apprentice: Martha's Baker Gets Burned | Today's News: Our Take | 12/28/2005
    Despite pulling together a fun circus-themed event for the final task, outspoken Bethenny Frankel found herself playing second banana to The Apprentice: Martha Stewart winner Dawna Stone. The 34-year-old natural-foods chef was just a little too much of a wild card for Martha Stewart's liking, so instead Miss Good Thing chose the person with a bit more of a corporate attitude. TVGuide.com spoke with Bethenny the day after her dismissal to find out what she thinks of coming in second place.

    TVGuide.com: Were you expecting Martha to choose Dawna, or were you still optimistic going into the finale?
    Bethenny Frankel:
    It depended on if somebody wanted someone predictable or not. Dawna's a great competitor, a very quiet and solid person. But if Martha wanted someone who is charismat read more

  • A New Day Dawna's for Martha's Apprentice | Today's News: Our Take | 12/28/2005
    After a long, hard season on NBC's The Apprentice: Martha Stewart, Dawna Stone became the first (and last) winner of the one-shot reality series. Despite some complaints by Martha and her execs that she lacked creativity, Dawna beat out Bethenny Frankel (whose Q&A can be found here) for the title after pulling together her final fashion-show task. The 37-year-old Floridian was rewarded with a new car and a six-figure salary for her new job at Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia's new Body + Soul magazine. TVGuide.com dished with Dawna the day after she was crowned to find out what she thinks of her new job. TVGuide.com: How are you doing? Dawna Stone: I'm not sure it has sunk in yet, but I'm still smiling ear-to-ear. TVGuide.com: When do you start work read more
  • The Apprentice: Martha Stewart... | Today's News: Our Take | 12/22/2005
    The Apprentice: Martha StewartWell, I pegged it. Martha chose Dawna as her Apprentice and shoved Bethenny to the side. I was somewhat disappointed in the finale of this one-and-only season of Martha Stewart's Apprentice. Overall, it left me wanting more, so I'd like to observe a moment of silence for the show's passing and a moment of mild outrage for its poorly executed ending. Believe me, I'm glad that it wasn't a big three-hour to-do, artificially inflated with season-in-review clips that signified nothing, followed by a live finale incapable of living up to its hype. But, since we'd already been mishandled by NBC's programming department — hello? Up against Lost?! and then canceled? — you'd think we could at least get a finale that w read more
  • Martha Cans "Crazy" Apprentice Jim | Today's News: Our Take | 12/21/2005
    While most of this one and only season of The Apprentice: Martha Stewart was fairly uneventful, Jim Bozzini was one contestant who could always be counted on to liven things up. Alas, though his over-the-top antics carried him to the final three, Martha and Co. eventually realized that the spontaneous, sometimes out-of-control, fella just didn't fit in with her corporate image — especially after MSLO honcho Susan Lyne had dinner with Jim and became privy to his plan to boost up the weaker players so that he could stay around longer. TVGuide.com grabbed Jim for a whirlwind interview to ask him if he really is "crazy" and if he has any regrets. TVGuide.com: I want to know who the real Jim is!Jim Bozzini: Is there a real Jim? That's the question! TVGuide.co read more
  • The Apprentice: Martha Stewart... | Today's News: Our Take | 12/15/2005
    The Apprentice: Martha StewartIt took the final three a long while to realize that neither Marcela nor Ryan would be returning to the suite and that they were indeed the final three. Martha confirmed the demise of Matchstick, then hurried Bethenny, Dawna and Jim off to their corporate interviews. Bethenny was at best "scrappy" and at worst "manic." Dawna was sitting pretty as "almost the whole package." But Jim failed to impress, and at his dismissal it struck me that he honestly thought he was going to win. I applaud Jim's self-confidence; it's his self-awareness that I question. With the chaff gone, we have an all-female final pair, which is fitting for this incarnation of The Apprentice. Two big charity events will w read more
