They should have asked the viewers why MS Apprentice failed. All of
the above may be true, but I think the biggest reason for her show's
failure is that it was an exact clone of Trump's show. I, for one,
was expecting a show like "Wickedly Perfect," with crafts and cooking
being the focus. I know Martha is a business woman, but her business
is homemaking.
