The next season of The Apprentice<\/em> hasn’t even started and the sparks are already flying on Donald Trump’s<\/strong> hit NBC<\/em> reality show.<\/p>\n

Donald Trump<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

One of the contestants, Dee Snider<\/strong>, complained to “The Donald” about members of the other team.<\/p>\n

“Listen, Mr. Trump,” the ex-Twister Sister frontman apparently told the business mogul, “the women are already acting up and frankly, ‘We’re Not Gonna Take it … anymore!”<\/p>\n

OK, that didn’t really happen, but it could as Snider is one of the interesting group of competitors in the upcoming show as unveiled on Wednesday’s Today<\/em> show.<\/p>\n

He joins characters such as lurid comedienne Lisa Lampinelli, crooner Clay Aiken, businesswoman Victoria Gotti and actress Tia Carrere<\/strong>, among several others in trying to join past winners like Piers Morgan and Joan Rivers<\/strong> in the “You’re Hired!” group.<\/p>\n

Many, many will be fired before we get to that point, however, joining the likes of Darryl Strawberry, LaToya Jackson, Holly Robinson-Peete<\/strong> and so many before them.<\/p>\n

Let the game begin … and eventually end … so The Donald can continue to flirt with a run at the presidency. Or not. Perhaps he can take President Barack Obama<\/strong> under his wing and teach him a few things.<\/p>\n

Now THAT would be some version of The Apprentice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
