Mahsa on Fox News...

The Apprentice's Mahsa made an appearance on the Mike Huckabee show on Fox News this past weekend. Sadly, it only lasted about ten minutes. They should have bumped some of the politicians to make way for some real news! :)

She went after Donald Trump again and did a lot of cringing when the clip of her being fired was played. Nothing major was revealed that hasn't already been said though. But it was still a great interview. See the video here.

It's going to be interesting to see how this all plays out over the next few weeks. I'm really hoping Donald Trump responds, as the show's integrity is at stake now. Why leave something major like this out of the show?! The ratings haven't been that great this season and addressing these incidents would absolutely bring people to the show. Leaving out how they found out about Anand's text message was a massive mistake. That could have been a compelling five-minute must-see segment right there.

Something else I don't get: how so many people prefer the celebrity versions over the regular editions. This kind of drama never happens on the celebrity editions. Many of the stars are already friends with each other and Donald Trump in some cases. The stars are also more careful to not anger Donald Trump.

That's absolutely not the case with the regular editions, as we've seen this season. That makes it more fun to watch. Plus, we see new breakout reality stars emerge.

The Apprentice launched Omarosa's media career in 2004. This season, I think Mahsa will be the standout thanks to the controversy with how she was fired. And I think it will only get bigger after this season ends.

Anand and David also seem to have a good shot at repeat reality show appearances (Anand thanks to the cheating and David because he's David). Tyana seems to be making the most out of her time on the show too (more about that in my next post later today).

There might be more controversy too - it's still a few weeks until the season finale. That's plenty of time for another incident.

I've wondered if Mahsa is being paid--or at least having the way paved--by NBC to make these appearances and comments. With slagging ratings, I'd imagine that NBC is hoping for all the controversy they can get. Sure, it's an opportunity for Mahsa to parlay her 15 minutes, but every time that clip plays or Mahsa tries to "clear her name," it's a win for The Apprentice, Trump, and NBC.
