EEE(k)! Scott Hamilton Fired From Celebrity Apprentice

PrintWell, there is a good and a bad side to Scott Hamilton being fired from the second episode of "Celebrity Apprentice." The good? I don't have to watch this show anymore! The bad? I want Scott Hamilton to be successful in everything he does and get money for his cancer charity. But, I have to admit that I thought he deserved the boot tonight for some bad decisions.
The task was to come up with a comic hero for Zappos.com. Both the men's and women's side came up with fairly similar heroes and storylines. But for some reason, Hamilton named the men's hero "EEE." Rather than Z, or anything that made sense. He was stressing everything, everywhere, everytime or something to that effect. Unfortunately, the women's team emphasized the "Z," logically, and they ended up prevailing.
Hamilton was project manager on this job, and he did not have an easy time of it. He was mostly butting heads with Tom Green. Green was ridiculous much of the time, but Hamilton should have listened to him on the name topic. I'm not saying they would have won, but he would have looked a bit better.
Scott was too nice for this show to begin with, but he didn't do a great job managing a tough personality. I've never seen anyone not look bad on "The Apprentice" and I really hate the celebrity version. I know it was for a good cause but maybe next time he can try for "Dancing With the Stars" like Yamaguchi.

I watched the show today even though the apprentice has become a rather boring show to watch. Scott Hamilton
though a champion on ice sucked in selecting the name
for the comic character as ‘eee’. I tried my very best
to figure out where or why he would have even thought
of such a name. The only person who in my mind is sane
in the mens team is Tom Green. He may appear goofy,
but that is his comic side. Overall he is the one with
the least ego in the group. Clint Black is just a moron, if he fought with the others for 6 hours.

There is no doubt EEE was a terrible name.
If I was Trump, I’d fire everyone on the first day.

It was totally weird that both the men’s and women’s teams largely ignored the most creative people on their teams. Tom Green knows how to write and create world-class material, as does Joan Rivers, yet both teams decided to not take advantage of their obvious, proven and award-winning skills. I think that Annie and Scott, both of whom apparently decided that they were creative types, didn’t have a clue in this episode. Scott seemed to be so lacking in creative experience that he didn’t recognize or value it when Tom was getting into the “zone” and getting his creative juices flowing, but instead he saw Tom’s creative methods as an irritation!!!
Anyway, it’s a fun show, and it’s too bad that Scott messed up with the EEE thing. I was hoping he’d stick around longer.
