Celebrity Apprentice 2013 (TV3)

Skid X

After a previous attempt never made it to air, TV3 are having another go. The Daily Mail (July 4th) reports that Celebrity Apprentice will air in September over six consecutive nights.

Bill Cullen has been fired, apparently to be replaced by Caroline Downey Desmond. She is one of the Bosses of Promoters MCD (with her Husband Denis Desmond) and she fundraises for charities incliuding the ISPCC, Childline and the Christina Noble Foundation.




The Daily Mail suggests this will be the line up, but several other names have been speculated too.

Mikey Graham (ex Boyzone)
Danielle Moyles (Model, Presenter)
Martin Moloney (from The Hardy Bucks)
Emma Quinlan (Model, Burlesque Performer)
Michael Conlon (Olympic Medal winning Boxer)
Amanda Brunker (Friend of Bono)
Maclean Burke (Damien from Fair City)
Nick Leeson (Rogue Trade who caused Barings Bank to fail)
Frances Black (Singer)
Edele Lynch (B*Witched)


The Apprentice was a big hit for TV3 when it launched, but it didn't have the longevity which the franchise has enjoyed in other countries. They will be hoping the reboot will recapture it's former glory.

Mr E

With someone new in the big chair, I'd definitely tune in (despite the 'celebrities').

Nick Leeson would be interesting to see, other than that....meh.

Just for balance, I should point out that the Daily Mail described her as "Chick Lit author, model, pop singer and all-round polymath" but I didn't feel that really captured her true talents


Sorry Amanda

FORMER minister Liz O'Donnell and businessman John McGuire will be in the boardroom with MCD boss Caroline Downey to decide who's fired in Celebrity Apprentice.

That's a former politician, and a TV Presenter/Property Investor who almost went bankrupt. They should really be contestants, rather than the Boss's aides.

Celebrity Apprentice was part of TV3's Autumn Launch yesterday. The contestants were revealed, they are the same as those listed by the Daily Mail in July (as listed in the OP). Caroline Downey is the new Bill, and John McGuire and Caroline Downey are her assistants.

Some of them posed for the obligatory publicity photo. But whoever is responsible for the mocked up P45 with 'YOUR FIRED' written on it must be feeling embarrassed today. Or maybe it was a clever ruse to deliberately include a spelling mistake, to get more attention. Who knows? :P

I can't watch Amanda Brunker anymore since she mutilated her greatest assets. I'm still heartbroken.....

Amanda Brunker, Emma Quinlan, Daniella Moyes, Frances Black, Michael Conlon, Maclean Burke, Edele Lynch, Nick Leeson, Mikey Graham and Martin Maloney are the famous names taking on the challenge, with the winner donating the prize fund to their chosen charity

There's the new Boss and most of the contestants (Mikey Graham must have been busy dealing with some uninvited callers to his house)

Starts tonight at 9pm on TV3, followed by Celebrity Apprentice: You're fired on the same channel at 10.20pm

Wouldn't like to cross Caroline

Lady Chatterton

I think Caroline is looking well.

Harry Angstrom

Mikey Graham looks like a complete tool.

Lady Chatterton

What with wearing a hat indoors? Amanda looks silly!

Skid X

"You are literally putting yourselves on the firing line"

If only, Caroline. That would be worth watching.

Lady Chatterton

Nick Leeson should do well in this competition.

Skid X

You would never think Michael Conlan was an Olympic Boxing Medallist.

Kerrydude1981

Pity Emma Quinlan didn't bring the snake

cofy

The girls are being bitchy already. Pheonix has already been done on the Apprentice, Amanda you could have come up with something original.

Lady Chatterton

Amanda is overdoing the botox :eek:

Daniella Moyles spelt wrong on the caption there.

I wonder how much Liz O'Donnell's pension is worth these days?

No one wants the PM job on the first week, if your team lose, you're gone.

It's a good strategy though, Lisha.

In every series of The Apprentice, those who keep their head down in Episode 1 survive until at least Episode 2!

Ginger dude really thinks he had set Mickey up for the fall

Ah spare a thought for poor Liz, she thought her stint in Celebrity Apprentice was tougher than her time in politics :rolleyes:
