It wouldn't be Emmy season without some old-fashioned trash-talking.
Donald Trump is taking aim at "The Amazing Race," The Shield Box Set 1-7 (http://www.dvdprostore.com/products/The-Shield-Seasons-1-7-DVD-Boxset-DVD-9-dvdprostore-1906.html)the only show to take home the prize for best reality competition since the category's inception in 2003.
"It's a shame that 'Amazing Race' keeps winning,The Shield Box Set 1-7 (http://www.dvdprostore.com/products/The-Shield-Seasons-1-7-DVD-Boxset-DVD-9-dvdprostore-1906.html) because it doesn't deserve to win it,"The Wire Seasons DVD 1-5 (http://www.dvdprostore.com/products/The-Wire-Seasons-1-5-DVD-Boxset-dvdprostore-1984.html) Trump told the Hollywood Reporter. The Wire Seasons DVD 1-5 (http://www.dvdprostore.com/products/The-Wire-Seasons-1-5-DVD-Boxset-dvdprostore-1984.html)"It wins every year because they know how to politic the Emmys."
It just so happens that 'Race' is in competition with Trump's "Celebrity Apprentice," The Shield On DVD (http://www.dvdprostore.com/products/The-Shield-Seasons-1-7-DVD-Boxset-DVD-9-dvdprostore-1906.html)which The Donald believes -- shocker -- is having one of its best seasons ever.
He says he fully expects not just an Emmy nomination in the reality competition category (which would be the series' third, The Shield Box Set 1-7 (http://www.dvdprostore.com/products/The-Shield-Seasons-1-7-DVD-Boxset-DVD-9-dvdprostore-1906.html)the first two being for non-celebrity cycles) but a win on August 29.
Well, The Shield 1-7 DVD (http://www.dvdprostore.com/products/The-Shield-Seasons-1-7-DVD-Boxset-DVD-9-dvdprostore-1906.html)if that pesky "Race" would just get out of his way.
Trump believes the predictability in the reality competition category has contributed toThe Shield On DVD (http://www.dvdprostore.com/products/The-Shield-Seasons-1-7-DVD-Boxset-DVD-9-dvdprostore-1906.html) the recent decline in Emmy ratings The Wire Seasons DVD 1-5 (http://www.dvdprostore.com/products/The-Wire-Seasons-1-5-DVD-Boxset-dvdprostore-1984.html)(though last year's telecast was up by more than 1 million viewers from 2008).
"They've lost credibility,"The Shield Box Set 1-7 (http://www.dvdprostore.com/products/The-Shield-Seasons-1-7-DVD-Boxset-DVD-9-dvdprostore-1906.html) Trump says of voters. "Instead of shows that deserve to win, they pick The Wire Seasons DVD 1-5 (http://www.dvdprostore.com/products/The-Wire-Seasons-1-5-DVD-Boxset-dvdprostore-1984.html)'Amazing Race.' The Shield 1-7 DVD (http://www.dvdprostore.com/products/The-Shield-Seasons-1-7-DVD-Boxset-DVD-9-dvdprostore-1906.html)It's a very sad commentary."
Perhaps Trump is sore over what happened in 2004,The Wire Seasons DVD 1-5 (http://www.dvdprostore.com/products/The-Wire-Seasons-1-5-DVD-Boxset-dvdprostore-1984.html) the first year that "Apprentice" and "Race" faced off. The Shield On DVD (http://www.dvdprostore.com/products/The-Shield-Seasons-1-7-DVD-Boxset-DVD-9-dvdprostore-1906.html)Ever assured,The Shield Box Set 1-7 (http://www.dvdprostore.com/products/The-Shield-Seasons-1-7-DVD-Boxset-DVD-9-dvdprostore-1906.html) Trump recalls he was halfway out of his seat when the Emmy presenter began announcing "Race" as the winner.
"I was standing up to go down there and pick up the Emmy," he says. "Incredible.The Shield On DVD (http://www.dvdprostore.com/products/The-Shield-Seasons-1-7-DVD-Boxset-DVD-9-dvdprostore-1906.html) It's a joke.The Wire Seasons DVD 1-5 (http://www.dvdprostore.com/products/The-Wire-Seasons-1-5-DVD-Boxset-dvdprostore-1984.html) If the Emmys want their ratings back,The Wire Seasons DVD 1-5 (http://www.dvdprostore.com/products/The-Wire-Seasons-1-5-DVD-Boxset-dvdprostore-1984.html) they have to pick shows that deserve it."
