I think the production team must be made up of a lot of men on this show, because a lot of the "rewards" in the past have been much more appealing to men. A few that come to mind: a scrimmage with an NHL team, a "shoot out" with the NY Knicks, tennis with Anna Kournikova (I'm assuming because she's hot), and from this season, a visit to the Playboy mansion and next week's Laker Cheerleaders thing. Actually, I agree that a lot of the challenges could be pretty cool, but Trump always describes the rewards from the male point of view...he didn't say they get to talk to Hugh Hefner and tour the grounds, he said something like "you'll be surrounded by many beautiful women" which probably only appealed to the guys.

And as for the female team members who modeled the swimsuits...that was a bad idea. Since when is it professional to show off your body half-naked on TV? It makes the women hard to take seriously as an "executive" at the Trump corporation.

Trump even said the following to Ivana in the second season, when she pulled down her skirt to help win a challenge: "You stripped, and I'm not hiring a stripper."
