 Last week’s two-hour special of Donald Trump’s Celebrity Apprentice ended with Vinny Pastore, who played “Big Pussy ” on the Sopranos, resigning after a convoluted “spy-double agent” storyline that didn’t turn out so well for him. It was one of the few times Donald Trump didn’t have to fire anyone. Pastore’s departure left nine contestants fighting to be crowned this season’s “Apprentice”.
"I have always loved Big Pussy," stated Point-Spreads.com Gossip Columist Chatty Kathy. "I also really liked Adriana and was sad to see her get whacked." Of those nine, Stephen “straight-to-video” Baldwin has emerged as the odds-on-favorite to win it all with 2 to 3 odds at SporsBetting.com,. Baldwin is getting 23% of all the volume. Slotting in behind him is “Taxi’s” Marilu Henner, who is receiving 19% of the action and has seen the biggest jump in popularity from bettors in the past week. Her strong showing last episode (she won as the project manager) obviously inspired confidence.
Coincidence? Probably not…but the Monday after the Super Bowl SportsBetting.com saw the volume jump on wagering options that up to this point haven’t exactly grabbed bettors’ attention. One of those is on the Entertainment side, as Donald Trump’s reality TV show, “The Apprentice” is over a month into its new season, this time around featuring semi-celebrities.
Piers “we have no idea who he is either” Morgan, the Brit, has also been impressive enough over the first month of the show to be considered a top contender. He sits at 4-1, grabbing 16% of the volume. Who will be fired this week? We’ll see on Thursday night.
