As you may remember, last season saw two concurrent versions of the Apprentice on the NBC schedule. The standard, hosted by the baffling Donald Trump, was joined by a Martha Stewart version. Martha had just gotten out of jail and had decided to leap into the reality TV market. Rather than actually filming any chunk of her own, probably quite compelling life, she chose instead to take on a spin off of the Apprentice.

It of course failed.

Martha claims that the reason the show failed was not because of its tremendous lack of originality, but due to overkill. Apparently her's was to be the only version, the original plan being for her to fire Donald Trump on the first night of her show. Donald was resistant, so both shows went to air.

“Having two 'Apprentices' was as unfair to him as it was unfair to me,” she said. “But Donald really wanted to stay on.”

Donald, in a spirit of buisness-like civility, blew his stack. He denied everything she said, noting that he co-owns the show and said that he wishes she “would be able to take responsibility for her failure.”

Damn.

So what will come of this? Will this end here as many have speculated, two bitter media whores airing their dirty laundry in public? I don't think so. I believe that hot heads and mutually strong business acumen will prevail, resulting in a Pay-Per-View celebrity boxing match between the two of them. Vegas odds give the match to Trump, as he outweighs her by a good 100 pounds, but I have my money on Martha Stewart. She has reach, is probably lightning fast, and lets face it, has done time. She knows how to stand up for herself, having probably beaten discipline into more than one usurping cellmate with, for example, a folding chair. She would be most likely to fight dirty. I wouldn't put smuggling a razor blade into the ring, or kicking Trump in the privates in an early round past her, and anyway, I'll bet Trump has a glass jaw. I've got my money on the crown Queen of the doily mafia.
