needs to retire. At first this was a good concept, as another reviewer mentioned. Now it is lame, overly scripted, and makes "America's Next Top Model" look creative. If you have cable, and get MSNBC you will notice in certain markets that Donny Deutsch follows this show. He typically (at least last year) re-hashes the entire show, with one of the lame no-talent losers, hoping for Omarosa-like fame. How sad is this?.
The earlier shows at least had educated contestants; I believe the show with Jennifer Massey going against (forgot his name) the male who won, was interesting in that she at least had class, a legal background, and attempted to participate in a mature, rational manner.
At this point, it is a sad commentary on American culture that Burnett continues to thrive with trash-TV; it is calculated tripe, like visiting Ringling Bros. Circus; where the animals are abused and tormented for fun. How much lower will entertainment get? Maybe next we can have Trump pretend to be Emperor Nero- and everyone can watch people being mauled by lions- imagine the ratings with all that blood.
