You may not like Omarosa, but you might (grudgingly) respect her.

The woman has blazed a successful trail of funky attitude since her appearance on "The Apprentice," and although she didn't leave with the title, she left with something perhaps more valuable: the friendship of Donald Trump.

Now Trump, who if nothing else knows how to make a dollar, has produced "Donald J. Trump Presents The Ultimate Merger" (TV One, 9 tonight), an eight-episode series that centers around Omarosa finding her romantic match.

Yes, it's like "The Bachelorette" but don't expect roses. When the contestants' dossiers include a credit report and a prenup, you know you've entered a different kind of space.

Feeling a little like the only person in the world watching and blogging about "Celebrity Apprentice" here on "Lost" night, but someone has to tell the world if the job goes to Holly Robinson Peete or if Bret Michaels can rock it just a little bit harder than that.

To start the show, Trump, respledent in his fake orange tan, enters in a long black overcoat that looks almost like a cape with the wind machines going.

After a short recap, the show picks right up where last week's ended -- Bret searching frantically for a dolly track for his Snapple commercial. Sadly, no dolly track. But Bret has an idea to strap a stool onto a cart and shoot that way.

"I'm a problem solver," he says. "A rock n' roll McGuyver."

Trump whittled the five remaining Apprentice contestants to four right off the bat tonight, and by the end of the show we were down to two. Who's still in it, out of Bret Michaels, Sharon Osbourne, Curtis Stone, Holly Robinson Peete, and Maria the wrestler (whose full name I still don't know, even after watching this show all season)?

Happiness has gotten into "The Celebrity Apprentice" (NBC, 9 tonight)
and last week's episode had us talking about who was the was the worst offender on the let's-beat-up-on-Cyndi-Lauper bandwagon.

Let's look at the candidates:

Michael Johnson, the Olympian who thinks good leadership means not listening to anyone and going with your gut, even if you don't know what the heck you're talking about.

As long as you take responsibility for your foolishness, it seems, you're OK. And Donald Trump seemed to co-sign that definition.

Worse, when Lauper tried to explain why Johnson's failed advertorial didn't work, he rudely cut her off using the words of the next candidate...

From watching the first, very fun episode (NBC, 9 tonight)

Rod Blagojevich: The former disgraced Illinois governor adds an interesting element; someone all the celebrities can feel a little superior about. After all, a druggie celebrity is not as bad as a crooked politician. Blagojevich is in it to clear his name (his NBC bio says he was "hijacked" from office) and also to show us he's a good guy. We'll see. Plus his hair trumps Donald's.

Cyndi Lauper: Not a mean bone in her body. A spacey charmer. Love her.

Rosie vs. The Donald: That feud that started when Rosie O'Donnell was on "The View"? Real and not over.

Holly Robinson Peete: Maybe not as intimidating as her husband, former Carolina Panthers QB Rodney, but probably tougher. This is the woman who once knocked down Robin Givens for talking about her mother.

Sinbad: The show's Greek chorus. Look for him to give clarity, even if it isn't needed.

Donald Trump has racked up three wives, but there's one woman he's stuck with: Omarosa.

And now, TV One has announced that the two are getting together again for a new reality series called "Omarosa's Ultimate Merger."

Yep, the woman TV Guide named the #1 reality TV villain is trying to find a man.

Here's how they describe the premise:

On the show, Omarosa will put a cadre of 12 hot, successful bachelors through a gauntlet of tests. These challenges are designed to play upon their weaknesses, test their
business acumen, measure their seductive strengths, and draw out their true intentions.
