Lauryn Eagle

['Frilla]

Had no idea she was on the Celebrity Apprentice.

What is she doing on the show? Has she stopped boxing?

Perhaps when her relationship with Lovemore ended so did her boxing career?

['Frilla]

Maybe. I was just shocked to see her on Celebrity Apprentice. How is she a celebrity? My whole family were watching the show tonight, and nobody knew who she was but me.

[Brute]

Eagle is probably better known outside boxing circles as a former Miss Teen International and world water skiing champion. Having lost her last two fights in a five fight career boxing may be history for her now.

My question is why would anybody watch that "apprentice" garbage anyway? Anything started by three times bankrupt good friend of Don King Donald Trump has to be suspect.

Your so negative Brute the moneys gained by the Celebritys all goed to charities.

[Like a Boss]

All C grade celebs on that show. Even that idiot Akka got a run.

What if the clown that runs it gives the money to charity without inflicting would be if they could be types on the public in the guise of entertainment? Free to air TV is bad enough without this sort of imported bilge.

WHAT was that Brute?

[Giancarlo]

I think Brute is worried it might get in the way of a return of Prisoner.

Is Prisoner coming back?

Is Prisoner coming back?

It is on one of the cable channels. I never watched it anyway. The premise of the Apprentice, like all so called "reality" TV is imported from the USA or UK and altered only by using local semi-nobodies.

I am annoyed this garbage is on every week but the fights are only televised once a month, if you are lucky.

Skippy is still getting a run in various parts of the world and sadly some of the actors aren't getting any residuals. Same applies to some of the main characters of the Prisoner cast.

[Brute]

australian actors took court action decades back to get residuals for TV series but the court refused it.

American actors even get residuals for commercials. To get a split of the percentage here you have to have a contract with the producers to that effect.
Some friends of mine have done work as extras on TV shows. They usually got paid less than postmen.

It must be a Gee up the Lauren Eagle is fighting for a World Title.

One of the main characters in Prisoner, I think Bea, was smart enough to sign a residual entitlement contract. She still gets cheques. While the rest of them don't get a razoo. Same thing with Skippy. The show is still playing around the world making money, and Ken James who was one of the main characters, doesn't get a cracker.

[colin russell]

Well who fault is that.

[Brute]

Well who fault is that.

If people are desperate for work they don't look at the fine print. Established actors can negotiate a good deal, if you are just starting out it is a "take it or leave it" business.

[colin russell]

Yes thats rite, but a lot more opertunites out there now with pay TV.

Anyway let's get back to Lauren eagle she's had 2 wins 2 losses and I'd fighting for the wbf title 10x 2 minute rounds when she's only gone 4x2 's in her previouse four fights.. How does that work??

[Giancarlo]

Quality Australian TV, Brute.

Who could forget The Freak?

The WBF will let any scrub fight for a belt. The other fighter will probably be even worse than Eagle.

Exactly. It sounds like Val (who played Bea) got good advice from her management all those years ago and it's paying for itself over and over again. Where as the rest of the cast were happy to just get paid per episode they made.
