From http://www.realitytvworld.com

"NBC to air "supersized" 'Apprentice' episodes versus final minutes of 'Survivor: All Stars. In the latest example that "gentlemen's agreements" are only worth the paper that they (aren't) printed upon, NBC has recently revealed that as part of its recent decision to move its new The Apprentice reailty series to Thursdays at 9PM ET/PT, it also will be "supersizing" the February 5 and 12 episodes of the program -- and placing the show in direct competition with the first two regular Thursday broadcasts of the All-Star edition of CBS' Survivor, which Apprentice executive producer Mark Burnett also produces.

As reported previously, it was widely believed that, as part of signing his Apprentice agreement with NBC, Survivor and Apprentice executive producer Mark Burnett received a non-compete clause from NBC that forbid the network from airing Apprentice against Survivor. A rather standard practice among Hollywood's select power brokers whom produce shows for multiple Big 4 networks (a small group of producers of which Burnett is probably the only reality genre member), the existence of such an agreement was demonstrated when the network announced its plan to move the show to Thursdays at 9PM ET/PT directly versus top-rated CSI rather than the inherently less risky move to return it to its already previously enormously successful post-Friends 8:30-9:30 PM ET/PT slot.

What wasn't known publicly at the time however, was that Burnett's non-compete agreement apparently wasn't a written clause within his production contract, but instead, according to Variety, simply a "gentlemen's agreement." In the meantime, anticipating Survivor: All Stars addition to the CBS' Thursday lineup beginning February 5 as well as Apprentice still airing on Wednesday evenings, NBC had long-since commited itself to airing supersized 45-minute episodes of Friends during the February sweeps. The Friends plan would have worked fine if the network was still going to be airing slightly extended versions of NBC's Will & Grace and Scrubs sitcoms in the remaining 8:45-10:00 PM ET/PT block, however with Apprentice suddenly moved to 9-10 PM ET/PT, network schedulers were faced with fifteen minutes of dead air to fill -- and suddenly being forced to choose between honoring the spirit of their gentlemen's agreement or scrambling to find other programming -- the network opted to violate the spirit of the agreement and require Burnett to supply extended Apprentice episodes to fill the 8:45-10:00 PM ET/PT time block.

NBC insiders told Variety that while Burnett was overseas at the time of the network's decision, he was "briefed on the plan" and "understood the reasoning behind the move," however one can't help but assume he's naturally upset about the idea of his second potential reality cash cow looking to steal viewers from the exciting final minutes of his current CBS reality cash cow. Nor can he be thrilled with the idea of the additionally stress that the move might potentially put on -- thanks in part to Donald Trump's ongoing critical public comments about CBS President Les Moonves -- Burnett's increasingly strained relationship with CBS.

Variety also reported that while there's been speculation that the additional Apprentice content might simply be extended recaps of previous episodes, the same NBC insiders insisted that the episodes will feature "original content," but also stressed to the trade paper that viewers whom follow Survivor until the broadcast shows a castaway's torch being snuffed will have "no problem" jumping into Apprentice at 9PM ET/PT."

NBC is shooting itself in the foot, unless they let ppl know Aprentice is starting at 845, no one will think to switch over or start their tape at that time...and like someone would switch over during TC!!!

I saw a clip of the Donald being interviewed with his "three kids." I never hear anything ever mentioned about the ten year old daughter, Tiffany, he had with Marla Maples. Does anyone know any gossip?

No, I hope she's living a pretty normal and uneventful life. Boring, drug-free, and just being a good kid.

I read in today's Boston Globe that The Apprentice has been renewed for another season. Also, did anyone see The Donald and his three oldest kids on 20/20 last night? The show was about nepotism. They did mention Tiffany on the show but only that she was 10 and his daughter by Marla.

Roteach, I saw that. His kids seem very nice. I was also surprised when Donald said that he had NEVER had a drink in his life. I guess I just figured as a businessman, he would have drinks with clients now and then. Interesting fellow.

Now at commercial. So far, Trump has given pretty much the same info as in the above article. Regis did ask Trump if he's afraid to fire Omarosa. He just laughed. Gelman had a game set up for them to play. Donald and Kelly at clear podiums facing each other. Darkness and then lights with "Millionaire" music playing! Funny! Kelly and Donald telling each other "You're fired!" to different situations that Regis gives them.

SBG - I agree, it was a riot! Did you think maybe Donald and Kelly should've switched podiums to show Donald's more attractive side of his combover? Ok...he says it's not a combover...but his part was only about 2" above his ear!

For being a germaphobe...he kissed Kelly hello and goodbye...or at least allowed her to kiss him, and I think he shook hands with Regis.

I just checked out Omarosa's website and saw she had various picture galleries. One is of her with celebraties. While she has had opportunity to get photographed with a few I am surprised there is not one in there of her with Donald Trump!

Yesterday on Last Call with Carson Daly they were discussing the Apprentice and Carson's bit on the show. He mentioned he hadn't seen it but Chris Masterson brought up the whole Tammy Fiasco. Though they never mentioned her name, they were mocking the woman that wanted Carson to fly with someone somewhere for a week or call Tiger Woods to play golf. They were basically making fun of her outlandish suggestions and how she was utterly deaf to their explainations. Then Carson remarked that he was expecting her to ask him to give someone a baby next. Then Chris said, yeah, that or maybe cut off your left testicle. It was funny.

upstate- make it OUR Orangemen :-) I loved it - first my homestate Maryland wins in 2002, then my school wins last year (GO Cuse)! The only thing that will make it sweeter is a trifeca with my beloved Carolina pulling an upset and winning this year :-)
