Pauline Hanson and Germaine Greer star turns for The Apprentice
Pauline Hanson and Germaine Greer are set to be the star turns of Australia’s first outing for The Celebrity Apprentice on Nine, reports The Sunday Telegraph.
Hosted by Mark Bouris, who helmed the moderately successful The Apprentice in 2009, Hanson and Greer will be joined by former Hawthorne captain Shane Crawford and former Home And Away actor Lincoln Lewis, who also features in Nine’s Underbelly Razor. They will also do battle with Polly Porter, a contestant on The Block.
The report, from the Sunday Tele’s Richard Clune, is attributed to “a well placed Nine source”. Clune’s TV tips are generally accurate.
The Apprentice and Celebrity Apprentice is a hugely successful franchise in the US under Donald Trump and UK under Lord Alan Sugar. The 2009 series, produced by Fremantle Media, did not see Bouris capture TV viewers’ imagination in quite the same way.
Hanson will be the David Cassidy of the show. Trainwreck out on week one, but compelling viewing.
Bound to fail with a cast cemented in mediocrity and irrelevance.
Wow… I can’t wait to see the fur fly between the alpha chicks! I’ll be tuning in! And, yes, my bet is that Pauline cops it first week too!
So what happened with Ros Reines? She was being groomed for the show wasn’t she? Thats why she lost all that weight, so the rumour around Holt Street goes.
Please people…. like all horrible nightmares Pauline hanson only exists because we keep on talking about her. Lets just turn our backs and she will fade back into the hellish dimension she came from..
Hawthorn, Tim. Unlike in the pockets of its former captain circa 1998, there is no ‘e’ to be found.
I think that we’ve had enough of Pauline Hanson. She’s not a celebrity. She’s an idiot and a redneck and an attention grabber. Put someone decent on or someone with a bit of class or someone who’s a bit of a dag. Hanson belongs in 1970’s Capetown South Africa , not Australia in the 2000’s. Having her on TV and forced upon us only makes us look like fools.
