Though I haven't even watched or commented on the final episode of the Apprentice 2 yet (preliminary comment to tide you over: I think the original MasseytronXP was in the shop for maintenance at the time of the live show, because that was clearly the backup module that I saw, but did not hear, losing to Kelly while at the Irish bar) I've already been on the hunt for a new reality show to cover, since the Apprentice has generated much more excitement here than the not at all popular advent calendar could ever hope to. The preliminary winner of this search is Wickedly Perfect, which will premiere on January 6th and is CBS's attempt to find America's Next Top Martha Stewart before Martha herself gets sprung and begins production on her own reality series. In case there are any bookies out there who have not yet figured out that taking bets on an event which has already happened is ridiculous and you'd like to get yourself some WP action, I have already chosen three favorites: Amy Guglielmo because she is from New York, Dawn Schedule because her last name is Schedule, and Kimberly Kennedy because she likes paper crafts and looks most likely to snap and either kill a fellow contestant or at least chuck a tartlet at Joan Lunden's head during the course of the show (this portent of craziness can been seen in her right eye...) Or if that show doesn't pan out there's always The Apprentice 3 starting on January 20th, this time pitting "street smarts" against "book smarts". As someone who straddles these worlds by getting most of my smarts from books I find on the street, I'm going to go ahead and trump both teams with a solution to their first task, "who can come up with the most enticing new Burger King menu item", which is far more enticing than whatever Chipotle Chicken Melts and Atkins-friendly Croissan'wichs they probably concocted: The Mega-Mini Bundle Bonanza. This would be a raft of six Burger Bundle-sized sandwiches, but here's the extra enticing part: they are not all burgers. The package would consist of: one Lil' Burger, one Lil' Bullseye BBQ Burger, one Lil' Chicken (similar to the KFC Chicken Little of days gone by), one BK Lil' Fish, and (continuing to steal and shrink sandwiches from other restaurants) a Lil' Hot Ham & Cheese and a Lil' Roast Beef, plus docked on the side of this tasty rack would be a split container housing a lil' portion of fries and lil' portion of onion rings back to back. You could try to claim that you're not entirely enticed right now, but I would be hard-pressed to believe you.

Reader Kirra B. Thinks that Tim Bell would be the best contestant, as his hobbies suggest domestic perfection. and let me be the first to say, that I really like your advent calendar.
