Get ready for some serious reporting from Puntabulous! I don’t know about you, but I am shocked (read: SHOCKED!) to learn that reality television isn’t the pinnacle of truth and honesty.
Every week on The Apprentice, Donald Trump starts off the task by saying “Welcome to the #th week of your 15 week job interview.” Supposedly each episode is a new week in the interview process. In the second episode of the season, two of the contestants sat out of the task due to celebrating Rosh Hashanah. Last night in the sixth episode of the season, one of the same people sat out of the task because it was Yom Kippur.
Now hold the phones people! Let’s back track a second to a little year I like to call 2005. Ah yes, the memories. How glorious they are! The laughs, the tears, the heartbreak, the Jewish Holidays. Ah yes, the Jewish Holidays, I remember them fondly. As a good little Catholic boy, I spent these days fucking goats and reenacting the crucifixion with puppies*. Sigh. Grandma sure knows how to throw a party. Rosh Hashannah was on October 4th and 5th while Yom Kippur was on October 13th.
But wait! According to The Apprentice these holidays were 4 weeks apart! Someone must be lying! Who do you trust? The Donald? Or the Jews?
*I regret to inform you that none of the puppies were resurrected three days later.
Oy vey! (said the shiksa)
Mazel tov! (said the goy)
Thanks to the magic of television, they don’t really do one task per week. Once a task ends, they start the next one right away. They just say so to make us feel like the competition’s still going on while we’re watching it.
I feel soooo betrayed
Craig’s so generous; the Donald so doesn’t have all that hair.
