Guys Chance Of A Lifetime S01E04 Show Me The Money At The Chicken Guy Pop-Up XviD-AFG[eztv]

I expected this to be The Apprentice with Guy Fieri as Donald Trump, and that's pretty much what I got. Basically, Guy is looking for someone who will be a franchisee of one of his Chicken Guy (exclamation point!) joints. Apparently, getting a Chicken Guy franchise is a big deal. (They didn't say whether the winner will have to put up the same amount of cash as a normal franchisee. The "prize" could turn out to be about as desirable as a job working for Trump.)Like The Apprentice, this show has a group of go-getters vying for the boss's approval. The "judges" are Guy, various business associates and chefs, and (for some reason that escapes me) his son Hunter, who seems like a decent kid just humoring a dad with an outsized personality. Guy subjects the contestants to challenges designed to find out whether they have what it takes and to make them feel inadequate. The only difference from The Apprentice, as far as I can see so far, is that someone doesn't get "fired" at the end of each episode. I guess they all stick around to the end. But they do get paid varying "salaries" each week based on how well or poorly they "performed."The first episode introduced the kinds of characters we've become used to in "reality" game shows -- the ex-military iron man, the brown-noser, the screw-up, the jerk, etc. And most of that, I assume, is the creation of the editors, with no connection to who these people really are.So I got what I expected, and I was entertained. I expect I'll watch the whole series. Unlike many people, I find Guy amusing. It looks like the challenges will result in some moments of relatively natural drama. And if the show makes good use of the "judges," their comments should be interesting.
