Missed The Apprentice / An Ode to Alex

OK, OK, so I went shopping* last night instead of watching TV. Which means I didn't see The OC (a repeat), nor Will & Grace (does anyone watch this anymore? used to be my favorite show, now... ho-hum), nor The Apprentice. But the good news for me is that CNBC is showing it TWICE tonight, at 8 and 11.

What I can tell you now is that I'm sort of rooting for Alex (also here). He's by far the cutest of the contestants this year**, but also he seems to be the one who's got the best sense of what The Donald is looking for. Maybe I'm just biased towards the boys, but in the last 2 seasons, like this one, I've been pretty underwhelmed by the girls. Sorry, ladies.

(He does look really cute in jeans here.)

Incidentally, there's been a hilarious discussion about which team Alex actually bats for. There's no doubt he is a bitchy queen (and his clothes are at times outrageously faggy), but whether he's actually straight or not, only his "mega-hot girlfriend" knows for sure. (Even with his freaky ears and his Federalist Society cred, I'd be up for some fun with him.)

"Honey, I just cannot believe I have to work with someone as unstylish and unfabulous as Bren!"



The best "Alex" of them all. Gotta love the purple lightning-bolt shirt!

* I went shopping, but bought nothing. That's got to be a first! A shout-out to JB, who filled in for my role in buying the shit outta' the place!

** But if you include all the seasons, then the hottest boy candidate so far has gotta be John.
A real-live straight man in SanFran. --whatever.--
Yummy!!!
