  I stopped watching the season Joan Rivers won and the way she won made me vow to never watch again.

  Joan Rivers did great I thought, if I'm remembering correctly.

  The year she won was a weak field. I thought she was vile and abrasive, but Trump clearly favored her. The show is pure entertainment, and she certainly provided that.
  
  I've been impressed with a few of the celebs (particularly Trace Atkins). Still, I wonder how much help they get behind the scenes, as in how much of the "projects" are actually scripted.

  It's always a "weak" field. There's usually only 2-3 contestants that you know right off the bat that will have a legitimate chance of winning it all.
  
  Celebrity Apprentice 1
  
  Piers Morgan
  Trace Adkins
  Stephen Baldwin
  
  Celebrity Apprentice 2
  
  Joan Rivers
  Annie Duke
  
  Celebrity Apprentice 3
  
  Bret Michaels
  Holly Robinson Peete
  Sharon Osbourne
  
  Celebrity Apprentice 4
  
  John Rich
  Marlee Matlin
  Meat Loaf
  Star Jones
  
  Celebrity Apprentice 5 <-- this was probably the toughest season
  
  Arsenio Hall
  Clay Aiken
  Paul Teutul
  Lisa Lampanelli
  Dee Snider
  Penn Jillette
  Michael Andretti
  
  Celebrity Apprentice 6
  
  Trace Adkins
  Penn Jillette
  Lisa Rinna
  Lil Jon
  Stephen Baldwin
  Dee Snider
  Bret Michaels (Bret was pretty washed up tho by then)
  
  
  Just like this year, I think the only celebrities that actually have a chance/shot at winning are:
  Geraldo Rivera
  Ian Ziering
  Vivica A. Fox

  Haven't watched this season and probably won't....I think the really only impressive ones (in no order)
  1) Penn
  2) Bret Michaels
  3) Trace Adkins
  4) Lil Jon
  5) Piers Morgan
  6) John Rich
  7) Maybe Marlee Matlin and Arsenio
  
  That's out of like 90 people, so I guess you're right about it usually being a weak field. Although we usually don't know enough about the contestants beforehand to handicap the winner, only the schmucks you have to assume will are there for comedic value (Rodman, TO, Gary Busey).

  I'm a combination of this and amusement that people here watch fluff idiocy like this.

  The reason I stopped watching after the Joa Rivers season is because in the finale it was a challenge to hold an event and raise money for charity. It was supposed to be about the event, the people you could get to attend, and the amount of money raised.
  
  Well Annie Duke raised about a 5-1 margin and had the bigger named celebs at the event. Joan Rivers throughout the season put down Annie because she was a poker player and was nasty to her. In the end Trump went with her because they were friends not who did the best job.
