Just when I thought I couldn't loathe him anymore

I think Buford's listing of his favorite music is probably the best reason to loathe him even more than before, "player to player" as he said on the show:


Favorite Music
AC/DC, DMX, old school Beastie Boys (before they became Buddhist) Ozzy ( before he became an actor), and of course the classics, Run DMC, Cool Mo Dee, and who could forget the Sugar Hill Gang


Or maybe it was NBC's fact-checking department that misspelled "Cool Mo Dee..." and I love the qualifying "before they became Buddhist"...where do they find these people??

So much snarking, so little time

I encourage everyone who has not already done so to proceed with dispatch to Television Without Pity, the greatest source of insightful analysis to the show that made Thursday nights fun again; while it may involve enduring a few excruciatingly painful moments of Joey (this year's Bob Patterson or Watching Ellie), tuning into The Apprentice soothes the savage beast in all of us, and satisfies our daily schadenfreude impulses.

It also gives me solace me that, while I may spend inordinate amounts of time analyzing the most dysfunctional bunch of cry-babies assembled since the Treaty of Versailles, there are others far more obsessed than me...I'd pay top dollar for a book compilation of a smidgen of the musings on that site. My favorite would be the names they've assigned to some of the more loathsome characters:
Bradford = Baldford
Stacey = Sideshow Bob

More erudite and structured analysis is here for the taking: http://www.sirlinksalot.net/theapprentice.html
