Out of all the Apprentices, only Dave (Littleman) really knows his stuff. The ex'gangbanger looks like he has turned a wrench or two , but Dave has built a few really sharp rods, and is a machinist by trade. As for the two girls, I'm glad the one bailed out, and that the other is probably standing on a banana peel.

On another forum where this topic was also being discussed, Dave responded with a post. He explained his motivations for trying this out, and also his reluctance and fears about moving from Ohio to California. He came across as a nice guy who has his head screwed on straight, and was apparently well known and respected by the other members.

The show evidently was shot starting in about April, and the 90 day "training period" should be over. I'm sure he was sworn to secrecy, but he sort of hinted that he was living back in Ohio, so it looks like he wasn't the chosen one. That might be by his own choosing, or maybe they replaced the girl(s) with some guys who actually were serious about securing a job there, and had short fingernails.

The show may improve, because I remember the early shows of American Chopper were really bad, what with Paul Sr. REALLY being a jerk. After a while it got at least watchable, and the show found it's pace a little more. We will soon know, won't we?
