Celebrity Apprentice Intervention: Rodman Fired! Does Dennis Rodman drink too much?
Most of us knew this season’s Celebrity Apprentice was going to shake things up when Dennis Rodman came on board. Controversy, is Rodman’s middle name. In the end, last night’s Celebrity Apprentice was a sad affair. No one seemed tickled that Rodman went out the way he did. Does Dennis Rodman drink too much?
Donald Trump seems to have a soft spot in his heart for Rodman. Maybe Trump was a big Rodman fan, back in “the day”. Dennis could have been cut a lot earlier from Celebrity Apprentice.
Everyone onboard for this season could see the signs. Maybe, Trump wanted to give Dennis Rodman every chance to redeem himself, for his millions of fans. Or, did Donald Trump and crew turn a blind eye for the higher ratings that Rodman brought to this show?
This is a taste of where Celebrity Apprentice had been and the beginning of the end, of Dennis Rodman.
As project manager on Celebrity Apprentice, Dennis Rodman seemed enthusiastic and up for the task this week. Yet, not even halfway into the show, those cranberry and vodkas were starting to show on him. In the end, Dennis blew off his crew and left the building to party down with two of the hotel’s guests. This type of behavior has become his trademark on Celebrity Apprentice. After Rodman had left, his crew seemed to get the tasks under control and things started to run more smoothly for everyone.
Last night the Celebrity Apprentice Intervention took place. It was unplanned, yet Dennis Rodman did come under the gun for having a drinking problem. Dennis Rodman’s drinking, cannot be denied, except by Dennis.
Unlike a lot of other Celebrity Reality shows, the celebrities in this season of the show did not yell, shout or even threaten Rodman. This confrontation lacked the high-end drama, because it was unscripted. Everyone seemed to sincerely want Dennis to take a very hard look at himself, and the amount of alcohol that Rodman was consuming throughout the show.
It’s a given, Dennis Rodman can be over the top and out of control. This is what has helped him become a household name, even with fans that don’t follow sports and never touched a basketball in their lives. Yet, watching someone unravel because of an alcohol problem that is out of control, can be heartbreaking to the people around them.
It was sad to watch Rodman get fired on last night’s Celebrity Apprentice, in this manner. I don’t think anyone on the show took any real pleasure away, from Dennis being eliminated from the show like that.
As Rodman rushed to the elevator door to exit the show, many of the cast wanted to bid him a found farewell. Yet, Dennis was uncomfortable and just wanted make a fast getaway, as quickly as possible. Does Dennis Rodman drink too much? Don’t ask Dennis! Just follow him down to the hotel’s kitchen area, as he orders up another cranberry and vodka; before saying goodbye to the kitchen staff.
