Every media source that I have read about this has Trump "resigning" rather than being waiting for the imminent sacking.
He hardly even participates in the show anymore so I can't see how he would be too busy.
I just realised that I didn't watch the finale of the current season having sat through week after week of the actual show. I think that is probably a good indication of the enthusiasm that exists for the show now.

Perhaps the Apprentice-sized hole can be filled by On The Lot, the Steven Spielberg / Mark Burnett co-production which has just started in the US. It sounds similar in concept to Project Greenlight but on a grander scale and focusing (pardon the pun) on directors rather than writers.

On The Lot should be interesting.

Lyndal - the last series of The Apprentice was pretty good, but the finale was terrible. You didn't miss anything. Live from the Hollywood Bowl - yuckkkk.

Bad television, even for an Apprentice Finale.
