When "Celebrity Apprentice" hits NBC again on Sunday it will boast a whole new cast of familiar names plotting to get ahead in the pseudo-reality scheme.
But Penn Jillette, one of the contestants, says it does no good to enter the strife with a plan. "My plan was actually from the philosopher Mike Tyson, who said everyone has a plan until they get hit.
"And everybody does have a plan until they get hit. And the instant that something doesn't go the way you planned — especially with this particular group of people — all plans go out the window.
"What is a little bit depressing about working on the show is that even people who suspend their morality completely and are willing to do anything don't do it well enough to do damage," Jillette says. "I saw people who were willing to do anything to win and you could see that clearly that they had let go of their morality completely and they still didn't win.
"I mean, it's like a guy who decides to rob a liquor store with a shotgun and everybody looks at him and goes, 'Get out of here!' and he goes, 'OK.' He's already done the moral transgression, and he still failed at his task."
