The Apprentice III Based on the names of The Apprentice III Candidates .. the Producers better have a First Aid Kit and a Medic on call .. ‘cause someone’s gonna get hurt …
The Magna Team has an Erin; who’s fun & gullible; but once she figures out she’s been taken advantage of .. she’s like a tornado incarnate ….. the first one to lie to Erin will most likely be teammate Todd .. because Todds think the truth is optional. While Verna will be creative .. she’s ALL about the drama .. NOTHING will be her fault and while I wouldn’t say she’ll be LAZY; she will be “Selectively Active”. Danny will be VERY social, he’ll get along with everyone; he’ll make a good Project Manager because he’s good at coordinating people, plans and ideas. My money is on Danny to excel. Stephanie will be capable, a hard worker, a real team player .. but her biggest downfall will be that she gets TOTALLY stressed out. Bren and Kendra will be the most High Maintenance on their team. They’ll be capable, but they’re going to demand that people praise them for their input … since that’s not the nature of the show, they’re going to feel under-appreciated; taken advantage of and they’ll have an over-inflated opinion that the only reason their team is winning is because THEY’RE on it. We’ll have fun watching Michael; life with a Michael is an adventure; he’ll come up with unique ways to solve problems, he’ll have interesting, “thinking outside the box” kind of ideas and will bring comic relief to the show. Alex will be a charmer; if anyone finds love on the show, I’t’s gonna be Alex; he’ll have LOTS of charisma.
As for the other team; while I like a Tara; she’s going to be misunderstood and taken advantage of; Audrey is going to be a complete sweetheart; but she’s another one who’ll be under-estimated and taken advantage of. John will be capable and one of the most popular team mates; he’ll be a doer or else he’ll associate with the person doing all the work, so John will get ahead because of his associations.
Tana and Kristen will be creative but they’ll be ALL about the drama AND they’ll constantly be at each other’s throats. Brian will be capable; he’ll do a lot of different tasks well, but he’ll be HARD on himself. He’ll always think he could be doing more; or doing things better. Angie is going to be GOOD LOOKING and if she remains on the show it’s because people like her energy. Chris is going to be liked by everyone; he’ll be social, creative and even though he’s younger; don’t count him out; Chris is MAJOR determined. Craig is the Networths’ entry for the “High Maintenance” category. He’ll be VERY charming but if you get him mad; he could teach even a Kristen or a Tana how to scream. Should be an interesting season …

Average Joe II Hawaii
Watching The Bachelor Cast of “Average Joe II Hawaii” will be kind of like sitting down with a box of chocolates; you have to really look at them for awhile .. but then it will become obvious which ones are the nuts.
Average Joe II should be a lot of fun; it’s front person is a Bachelorette named “Larissa”; which based on my name analysis; a Larissa is a cross between a Laurie and a Melissa/Elisa Type person which makes her a capable, organized, detail oriented, mother hen type person (the “Lar” part of her name) and a person who’s fickle; motivated by fun and completely oblivious to consequence (the “issa” part of her name). You don’t see this combo too often .. especially when cameras are rolling .. so this is where the FUN comes in ..
Larissa’s 18 “Average-Type” suitors are named: Bill; Brian G; Brian W; CJ; Chris; David; Donado; Fredo; Justin; Matthew; Michael; Phuc; Robert; Samuel; Sean; Thomas; Tim; Tony ... and this is how it gets interesting. I have a theory that people with the same first name have very similar personalities .. consequently without even meeting these guys; I know what they’re personalities are like, what motivates them, what frustrates them and how they’re all going to interact. SO based on their names .. this is how Monday Night Prime Time is going to be .. first off the “Lar” part of Larissa makes her capable of pampering; this potential to pamper will appear as a ‘mating call’ for David, Phuc and Thomas who all NEED to be pampered, worshipped and idolized.
Bill, Justin, Chris, Michael and CJ (assuming his 1st name is Chris or Claude; but if “C” stands for Craig or Cameron .. then all bets are off .. ) are going to show Larissa exactly who they are; they’ll wear their hearts on their sleeves, be themselves and Larissa will appreciate their easy going nature.
If Fredo, Sam, Sean, Tim and Tony are true to their spirit; they might need stunt doubles at some point during filming.. because these people take chances, will do anything for attention and are unpredictable.
All men make mistakes, but single guys on a reality show will find out about them a whole lot sooner than if they were sitting alone in their home with their mouth full of beef jerky ... I’m counting on all of them to do at least one stupid act. A Fredo will most likely do it sooner than others ..
Larissa will be attracted to Robert, Matthew and Donado’s focus and determination ..
The two Brians will have a load of confidence; because they truly are capable in many different tasks and abililities; however, this is national TV and Brians are tough on themselves; so in this instance; they’ll feel confident only until they get the feeling they don’t fully understand the situation.
Who are we kidding; based on the 1st Average Joe .. Larissa is going to put on a “fat suit” and find out that ALL the guys in the house are insensitive (BIG surprise) and we already know the good looking girl is going to go for the non-origianal cast member- Model who lives with his parents in the end anyway .. I mean why should Part II be any different .. so in the interest of easing the pain of the 18 unsuspecting, “average” bachelors .. they should take a page out of "Survivor's" script; and eat one really gross live thing; first thing every morning; that way nothing WORSE will happen to them the rest of the day.
When all’s said and done; if Larissa has a pre-episodal contract to NOT choose one of the models they bring on the set at the last minute .. then based on their names; the most compatible cast members, coupled with “Larissa” as of 1/6/04 will be Brian or Justin. .. StayTuned!

“Average Joe” Here's An Analysis Of “Average Joe” Based Upon Knowing The Names Of The Cast And Knowing Personality Traits Common To These Cast Members’ Names. As of 12/1/03 Melana has Adam left of the original 16 dates and Jason left from the 3 "Model" New Comers: Mike, Jason and Alex. Based on her performance and comments; Melana has no idea how much she has to pamper Jason to keep him comfortable; So her final selection is going to be interesting... Does Melana go for the Wall Street trader Adam whose perhaps average in looks; but fun and ambitious or does she go for the good looking Jason who shares Melanas good looks and most likely to co-sign a Jason/Melana Colgate Toothpaste Commercial contract during the finale show.
Based On Her Name; Bachelorette Of The Moment” Melana” is ALL about the money. Who cares how average looking the cast members of NBC’s New Reality Show “Average Joe” are; if they have a trust fund, a large inheritance or an impressive stock portfolio AND good contacts .. Melana’s hearing cash register bel ... I mean Wedding Bells
Hats off to the casting director who cast a Melana as the Bachelorette in search of a partner ... The Casting Director’s no dummy; They must have already figured out that a Melana will be a camera pleaser because these people are good looking; put themselves together real well and dress GREAT. Ironically; Melanas usually live in the nicest house in the neighborhood; so putting her up in a Mansion ... makes perfect sense. Melana's Take On The Men In The World .. "So Many Men; So Few Who Can Afford Me ..."
If NBC wanted to make this show a One Night Extravaganza, Melana could wrap the whole decision making process up in one fell swoop; just by looking at her suitors’ bank account balances; but NBC decided to make it at least 5 episodes which means NBC must be planning on telling Melana that all of the Bachelors have disposable income.
The Show’s premise is that Melana is being matched up with 16 possible suitors Adam, Jay, Clint, Tareq, David, Brad, 2 Dennis’, Joe, Jerry, Walter, John, Marc, Zach, Eric and Craig and the hook is that the guys are supposedly mediocre in looks; so will Melana be able to find love with someone average looking.
Zach, Eric and Joe will be most likely to treat their experience on the show as though it’s State Finals of their sport and Melana is the trophy. If they don’t get the girl in the end; they’ll think the show was ‘fixed’ or something because to a Zach, Eric and Joe; NOTHING is ever their fault.
Jay, David, and Craig will be fun to watch; they’re going to be charming and think they’re the most deserving of Melana’s attention. Melana will have to pamper these guys to keep their interest; which I don’t think she’ll be willing to do without seeing their Credit Reports first ...
Adam, Clint, Walter and Jerry are going to be interested in Melana because she’s so good looking but to keep them interested in her; Melana is going to have to tell them how impressed she is with them and not talk about herself too much
John, Tareq and Brad are going to appear to be the most easy going, most eager to please and will seem to be the most generous with their time and assistance
Marc will be nice, creative, easy going, and capable; and as long as either Marc or Melana are Independently Wealthy; they’ll get along just fine ... Marcs share Melanas need to be comfortable.
Eric will be the most unpredictable, but he’l intrigue Melana because he’ll be ‘off the wall’ and she’ll never know what he’s going to say or do next.
The 2 Dennis’ will be the most long winded talkers, but once Melana learns that Dennises are tight with their money, Melana will give them a history course; and they’ll be in her past.
Adam is going to LOVE that Melana thinks she’s better than some people on the show; because Adams are VERY selective when it comes to friends; he prefers to hang with a select “A” group of people and isn’t interested in being just anyone’s friend.
As of 11/03/03 Melana dropped Clint "communication coordinator" (must be another word for "tele-marketer"); Dennis S. Chiropractor; Eric Police Officer and Walter a Real Estate Agent .. I told you she's good ... she just smells money ... I guess Melana thinks these guys don't have enough of what it takes .. to make her happy!

The “Next” Joe Millionaire ... David Smith
What was FOX thinking ??? Putting 11 out of their 14 Bachelorettes for their new reality show “The Next Joe Millionaire” under the same roof who are high maintenance, independent, aggressive, stubborn, money monger, screamers??? ... and think they’re all going to get along! Hopefully the Fox Network had the foresight to Hire A Medic; Sound Proof the Meditation Room and add an Anger Management Program at their local Italian Villa’s Day Spa.
“The Next Millionaire”; because he’s a “Dave” is going to be charming. While he’ll be attracted to the intelligence and independence of some of these beauties; typically Daves like/need/ are attracted to people who’ll pamper them. Too bad Fox only gave him three to choose from .. The best candidates to pamper, accommodate and bestow anonymous kindness’ are Allessia; Tereze and Krystyna .. all the rest are just going to have to fake it .. once they hear about “The Money”
Of the 11 remaining Bachelorettes .. 4 will be particularly skilled when it comes to spending $80,000,000; Yassmin, Karolina, Olinda and Linda. While Johannas are also motivated by money; they’re more thrifty about it; so Johanna will content herself to skip the shopping spree and head straight to her financial planner to set up her retirement fund.
Given his youth and inexperience; Dave might not yet have tapped into his “Dave” ways of needing to be worshipped and idolized; at least that’s what Anique, Lina, Cat, Jerusha, Giada and Petra better hope for; because these people don’t worship or idolize and if they get their way ... Dave will be whipped by Episode 4.
Heads up to Butler Paul and the Villa Staff ... you might want to invest in some ear plugs and a case of Vodka; Yassmin and Karolina will be your most demanding and least appreciative guests ... they’ll never admit to having an attitude problem because they firmly believe everyone ELSE just has a perception problem ...
Anique, Jerusha and Giada will be most competitive for Dave’s affections .. not because they want him; just because they HATE to lose; and let’s face it; a Trust Fund is a terrible thing to lose ... These people will think of Dave, not as a guy, they’ll think of him more as a Huggable Brinks Truck.
Cats like stability and consistency; a 24 yr old rodeo rider doesn’t offer much stability; but a cowboy with $80,000,000 does. She’ll be enthralled with Dave right up until the “living in an $11,000 home next to where the buffalo roam” part.
Lina and Petra are most likely to be nominated for Emmys for their portrayal of women pretending to actually care about the “Bloke With The Bucks”; While they may fool the Academy; Dave’s no fool; he could teach courses on pretending to be interested .. and Lina and Petra are going to be dumbfounded when they learn they’ve met their match with Dave.
Dave’s going to have a mind of his own; but based on everyone’s name; if he doesn’t pick Allesia, Krystyna or Tereze; then he’s doomed .. no one else on the show is going to be in it for “Love”; in which case Dave might as well just call it a day and go home with the horse.

THE BACHELOR BOB’S THORNY DILEMMA
Did He Pick The Most Compatible Person .. ???
ABC .. You Later Bachelorettes! Well, By November 19, 2003, Turned Out Kelly Jo Ended Up ... The Woman Most “Rose Challenged” ... Not To Cry Kelly Jo; You've Got Too Much To Do With Your Life Before You Get Married .. With All Of Your Presence .. I SO See You In Your Own Soap Opera .. and Surprise, Surprise ... Bob Picks Estella; The Woman Who Looks MOST Like His Ex-Wife And OWNS Her Own Home in Beverly Hills (Conveniently Close To Hollywood ... Where I'm SURE Bob Hopes To Be Spending More Time ...) I don't see This One lasting Though ... THIS Bob Doesn't Seem To Be The Type Of Guy Who Wants To Share His Mirror With Anyone ..
Here's An Analysis From Before The Show Debuted: If Bob wants someone Pretty as a Cheerleader and Smart as a Pom Pom he should go for Shae, Kristi, Misty or Antoinette
Shelly, Mary, Leona, and particularly Estella are going to be as subtle as a Summo Wrestler in a Miss Hawaiian Tropic Contest; they’l tell you like it is, and they don’t pre-sweeten their words ...
Bob’s going to want some extra protective gear if he plans on getting Leeanne; Antoinette; Darla, Kristi or Shae mad at him .. these people will be a load of fun .. but are as calm as a tornado when they throw a tantrum ...
If Bob is looking for a “Take Care Of Everything Wife”; who can balance the check book, make cookies and be as loyal as a Golden Retriever he should pursue Jennifer, Jenny, Stacey; Lauren; Christine, Samantha or Meridith
If Bob’s looking for fun; Kelly, Karin, Lindsay D and Lindsay K could rent themselves out as party guests; these people are creative and are voted most likely to have their own pair of “Sponge Bob” slippers
Bob’s friendly with everyone; but he should know typically a Brook, Lanah and Leona don’t want to know you ... unless you don’t want to know them ...
These people will do Bob’s laundry for him even if he’s interested in other women ... Stacey; Christine; Jennifer; Jenny
These people will do Bob’s laundry for him ... while he’s still wearing it ... if she thinks he’s interested in other women Julie; Kristi; Brook; Lanah; Shelly, Leona, Heather; Shae
11/05/03 Who’s Going To Be Crowned “Mrs. Bob”:
Of the 2 remaining women; based on their names; Good work Bob, you picked 2 Women who happen to have a good sense of humor; but does Bob know both of them also have a tendancy to run things THEIR way. Kelly Jo will be MUCH better with compromise than Estella; and is better at making her demands look more like its part of a comedy routine.While a Bob is completely compatible with an Estella; because Bobs are typically easy going and can be pushed around; if Estella has it her way; Estella will have Bob wrapped around her finger and standing in front of a Justice of the Peace before the TV lights cool down. Stay Tuned ... This should be interesting!

THE APPRENTICE For January 14th show; Trump expects his Trumpiacs to create an effective ad campaign for a jet liner.. based on their names; Kristi & Amy are going to have creative input for the women and Bill and Nick will have the best ideas for the guys; Sam will have interesting ideas too but half of them won't be legal ... As of January 8; 2004 David became the 1st Apprentice Hopeful booted from NBC's hit reality show. It was astounding to the viewer to see the guys go down in flames .. especially after their brilliant coup of negotiating for an elaborate Lemonade cart, and effortlessly obtaining supplies for their lemonade stand venture ... but then came the all important selection of "location" to solicit lemonade business and for some inexplicable reason ... they chose an abandoned Fish market to sell their goods. The Trump Empire is a Real Estate fueled Empire .. in real estate location if EVERYTHING .. after this bone head selection of location.... really ALL of the guys should have been eliminated. ..
Here's the original analysis of cast members ...
Based on their names, if acting sexy has anything to do with it ... Heidi & Kristi should order their new business cards .. because Heidi & Kristi will be SO sexy they’ll look like “Walking Centerfolds” ... without the staple in their middle. Jessie will be just as good at flirting as Heidi & Kristi, but the rest of the time she’s going to be aloof and she’ll keep everyone quessing what she’s up to. Katarina, Amy & Omarosa will have “no-nonsense” personalities; they’ll tell you what they think and they won’t pre-sweeten their words. Katarina, Amy & Omarosa don’t take criticism from anyone and will be most welcoming of the concept of “team work” that way they can blame someone else .. if something goes wrong. Tammy & Ereka will be complete sweethearts ... I just hope they brought extra protective gear with them when packing for the show .. they’re going to need it when dealing with the other 6 high maintenance, screamers cast in NBC”s latest look at reality.
As for The Guys; Bill & Bowie will be the most easy going. Nick & Sam will complain the most and Jason, Troy, David & Kwame will be the most competitive. Let’s face it; ALL of them are men; which means they’ll all be after the greatest amount of power with the least amount of responsibility; but Bowie will be the least obvious about it. Kwame is going to think he’s smarter than all the rest .. which may be true .. Kwames are the same as “James”; and these people were typically one of the firsts in line, when brains were handed out .. on the downside, because of all this intellect; Kwames need to be the authority .. which drives the rest of us nuts .. especially when they’re right.
Trump’s idea of competition begins with a Pre-Schoolers 1st Business Venture .. The Lemonade Stand .. Men will compete against the Women .. to see who can earn more on the streets of NYC. The Women are going to have to hope that the ubiquitous Construction Workers brought extra lunch money that day .. or that a bus load of dazed tourists just landed in Gotham who see the TV cameras and want to say “Hi Mom” on National TV for the cost of a beverage ... otherwise the women are doomed ..
This opinion is based solely upon the knowledge that a good looking, suit clad, unattached business man in NYC is a commodity valued more by the Single Female Population of NYC than a lifetime supply of Botox .. and the opportunity to interact with one who will be charming and attentive .. do you have ANY idea what a female New Yorker will PAY for that kind of interaction? If the guys parlay this demand well enough; they could sell their lemonade for 10X what the women sell it for .. and if they throw in a date .. the skys the limit when it comes to the men’s potential earning power.
Erekas typically have over-bearing mothers .. so Ereka already has the ability to handle difficult people .. people will like Ereka; these people have a gift for gab are real good at the art of flattery .. so she’ll tell her competitors exactly what they already think of themselves ... they’ll think she has great insight .. and here competition probably won’t consider her a threat.
Bill's going to be the idea guy .. he’s going to have vision for how things should be done or how they could be done better .. Jason, David, Kwame & Troy will all be capable, hard working, charming, smart competitors, their down fall may be that they need to be recognized for their intelligence and contribution .. and I doubt anyone’s giving credit to anyone else, in this game. Bowie is going to be the Knight in shining armor type .. the girls will like him and the guys will probably underestimate his staying power.
Stay tuned for additional input after The Apprentice Debuts 1/8/04!

24 A CASE STUDY (Analysis Of TV Character Names & Personalities)
Jack Bauer: “Counter-terrorist agent”. Jacks could give seminars on how to get away with things un-detected ... Perfect name for a counter-terrorist agent.
David Palmer: A Dave as President ... Works for me.
Sherry Palmer: “Untrustworthy power hungry character” ... oh please; name her Lucy or Gina or Marybeth and I’d believe her blind ambition; but I only know of one ballsy, power hungry “Sherry”; she was a head of a movie studio; and I doubt her true first name is Sherry. Most Sherrys are friendly and positive in nature.
Kimberly Bauer: “Daughter of Counter-terrorist agent,kidnapped by assassins”. Kims are smart, savvy and independent, I find it hard to believe she couldn’t rescue herself.
Tony Almeida: “Head of the Counter Terrorist Unit”. Tonys love to live double lives, running a secret agency is a perfect job description for a Tony.
Nina Myers: “Former Confidante to Jack who killed Jacks wife Teri”. Hard to believe a Nina would kill anyone; completely wrong name choice for this character.
Bob Warner: “Business Guru and CIA consultant”. Believable only if he went by “Robert” instead of Bob. Bobs are too easy going and the fact that he’s marrying a Marie ... he REALLY needs to have a name depicting him as a more unpredictable, more volatile personality; like Carl, Bruce, Eric or Richard.

THE BACHELORETTE
Meredith Phillips; the newest Bachelorette on ABC’s reality series; said in an interview; she’s looking for “someone who’s easy going with a great sense of humor”. Well if she sticks to this criteria Meredith could save a whole lot of money on florist bills; because she only needs to hand out 6 +/- roses to the few from her cast of characters who fits that description.
Aaron, Andy, Chad, Eliot, Rick, Robert and Trever are a little more high maintenance than Meredith might bargain for .. they’re voted most likely to have the attitude “Okay; I’m here .. what are your other 2 wishes ..” they really need a comfortable lifestyle and need to be pampered. If Meredith chooses one of these guys she should follow the Trista/Ryan script to financial security; by selling her rights to their 1st Couple’s Therapy Session to ABC and have enough money to buy the comfortable lifestyle and pay someone else to pamper her beloved.
If Meredith sticks to her easy going criteria; Justin, Lanny, Cory, and the Ryans would be the best candidates. If she’s looking to write comedy routines on one of her dates; she should go for Jeff or Keith. Rick & Todd can be just as zany and will appear to be real charming; but if Meredith ends up with either of them she’s going to butt heads with both because Rick needs things done his way; and a Meredith; if true to her name, needs things done her way .. as for Todd he just LOVES to get away with things .. and Meredith is too observant and vocal to let Todd’s discretion’s slide without raking Todd over the coals. Damon, Eliot, Jeff & Anselm will vie for the center of attention. Justin, Sean, Keith and Todd will be the most daring and will try anything once; but if there’s any trouble to get into; Todd will be the first one to get caught.
Corys going to be good looking; Chad’s going to be athletic; Andy’s going to be selective about who he hangs with. Brian and Harold are going to be too hard on themselves; their approach to life is sort of like “some days you are the bug, some days you are the windshield” and they’re going to think they should be doing more, or getting more face time with Meredith; Lanny’s going to talk too much and Brad & Keith will be the most generous.
Merediths are capable, love a good laugh and like things done their way .. to be happy they have to be intellectually stimulated; attached to a successful professional who’ll wear the pants in the family right up until they get home. Ian, Lanny, Justin; Marcus, Matthew, Ryans, Keith, Sean, Todd & Chris will let Meredith run the homefront; however of this crew, Rick, Chris, Todd, Sean and Keith all have to have a part of their life that is no one else knows about; so to be happy with one of these guys; Meredith will have to learn to ignore her sleuth-like ways and chill if one of these guys has lunch with his “mother” who looks remarkably like an old girlfriend ...
