About The Apprentice: Martha Stewart

Parents should know that their teens will see contestants gossiping about each other and arguing face-to-face. There is lots of talk in the intro about Martha's many brands (and her logo is all over the show).

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about Martha Stewart herself. The show describes her rise to fortune, but focuses little on her brush with crime. Why do you think that is? Why do you think the press and public was gleeful about her fall? Did that have more to do with her gender or her personality? Do you think her time in jail had anything to do with her getting her own show? Did it improve her reputation?
