Natalie Gulbis eye-rolling her way to a Celebrity Apprentice victory?

Over on Celebrity Apprentice - the greatest TV show in the history and pre-history of TV Shows (don’t dispute me!) - LPGA star Natalie Gulbis is still alive and well, battling to win the charity of her choice big bucks.

But while Gulbis has effectively used her sponsorships to help out her team, one thing cannot be denied - she’s coming off like an overly pampered superstar.

On the last episode, with contestants running a hotel and she acting as a room-service maid, Gulbis showcased that out-of-touchness with an obvious eyeroll aimed at some demanding guests. They were not impressed, and she nearly cost her team the victory.

Thus far, Gulbis’ contributions to Donald Trump’s show has been to burn some cupcakes, secure a private airplane for Joan Rivers and get some cookies and such for hotel guests from some of her sponsors. She also acted petulantly when wearing a costume in one event. More or less, she’s been sort of embarrassing to watch.

That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t watch the show, of course (which should be given some type of honorary Oscar, if you ask me.)

She's been skating b/c Rodman eclipsed everyone in the "are u serious?" arena.

But yeah, she doesn't come off as the brightest bulb. Even a Kardashian comes off as smarter. Definitely lazy, mind you, but not quite as out of touch.

Natalie Gulbis probably never worked in a service business. First rule (from personal experience) is that the customer is always right.

Rule # 2? Customers have eyes in the back of their head and can always see when they are being disrespected.

In her favor? Gulbis brought nice gifts to each room.

Wolfie, do you ever have anything nice to say about Gulbis? You are so biased against her it's pathetic. You should display all your prior Gulbis posts (pre celebrity apprentice) so that people can see where you'r coming from.

What about Natalie's insightful critique of the men's Zappo ad? Or Annie Duke giving her props for being a strong player and the Donald agreeing? What about the fact that Joan Rivers immediately came to Natalie's defesne in the eye-rolling incident? The show is not about customer sevice, it's about teamwork and Natalie's teamates like and respect her.
