lol who said I stayed away ? Sadly when it comes down to it, I'm just like the rest of the TV viewing public. I was hooked on the first episode -- BEFORE the show became a Trump and Trump Empire promotion love fest. I know Bill's from Chicago, but he picked the wrong project. During the commercials, I told my wife what a big deal the Chicago project was and that Bill would have sooooooo many people standing over his shoulder ordering him around and second guessing him. Especially D.T. -- his reputation is built into that project. He won't get ANY sleep for a year ! Trump basically confirmed what I thought after Bill chose it, lol. The L.A. golf course job: 1. Much greater chance to "be your own boss" AND BE RECOGNIZED for being your own boss 2. I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess that its a less stressful assignment. 2. Greater access/exposure to the motion picture TV industry -- which is where all reality cast people gravitate towards, lol. Trump described the construction at the golf course as an "Army of 350 people", lol. Sorry, but in my world that's only a medium sized group of people -- a 3rd line manager's job. 800 to 1000+ -- now that's an army. Wellll now that the show's over, and we learned the "prize" is real (I thought it would be some token figurehead position in some small property he owns), I sure hope the wannabes understand the qualifications that will be needed to win the next installment. Non-enteprenuers, non-Ivy League MBAs need not apply. Chris
