The much-hyped revamp ofThe NewCelebrity Apprenticeseems to have fired some of its viewers.

People watch a show because of whatson the show.

And Trump regardless of how you feel about him tends to boost the ratings of everything hes on.

So: Was the two-year hiatus to blame for the decline?

The sports competition on ESPN?

The schedule change from Sunday to Monday?

This cycles cast of competitors?

Or Schwarzenegger taking over from Trump?

To me, the most visible and impactful change is the host gig switching.

Ultimately its very tough to pinpoint an exact reason why millions choose to watch a show or not.

NBC parted ways with Trump shortly after he announced his presidential campaign two years ago.

But I still loved it.

More of that, kindly.

Nonsensical rambling is a hallmark of every greatCelebrity Apprentice.
