This year, it'll be "Triple the Trumps", as Donald drags in his son and daughter to help him when Carolyn and George aren't around (oh yeah, having her daughter "advise" her worked SO well for Martha!) This season's group seems heavy on attorneys (BOO!) and there are a couple who make me go "Huh? How did THIS person get on the show?"

Look, certain things we know: uneducated entrepreneurs don't become "The Apprentice". Neither do lawyers. Why put them on the show? The Donald wants bright, well-educated people who can lead and motivate when they need to, and follow orders when they need to -- people who are not one-dimensional (only into sales, only into investments, only into real estate, etc.) How many of this group meets those standards, remains to be seen.
