ArchivesBurnett: “There is no dubbing outside the boardroom. It’s your imagination.”
Mark Burnett talks to TV Guide and categorically denies that Donald Trump redubbs lines for The Apprentice 2 boardroom sequences. “There is no dubbing outside the boardroom. It’s your imagination.” He admits that “there’s editing. … So it’s possible that there’s a change in his inflection and that’s what you’re noticing.” Not that we buy it, but Burnett further damages his credibility by saying that he’d never edit out something like Jenn C.’s “old, fat Jewish ladies” comment, “because then it no longer becomes art. It becomes a sanitized form of art. Next, we start burning books.” Of course, this is the guy who admits that he edited out a same-sex kiss from Survivor Vanuatu because of the results of the election and fear of the FCC. Maybe “sanitized” and “burning books” mean something different in British English. Finally, about this seasons’ ratings, he spins it masterfully, seriously arguing that “ratings aren’t actually down, they’re just settling.” Responding to critics, he says, “All of these expert opinions, if only they could come up with their own fucking show. If they could get half my ratings they’d be doing OK.”
