‘Is this set up?’ Celebrity Apprentice fans rage that Martha Kalifatidis is being ‘favoured’ by producers… as Lord Alan Sugar drops a major sign she WINS the show
She’s been in the boardroom multiple times on Celebrity Apprentice, but has managed to escape the wrath of Lord Alan Sugar every time.
And it seems viewers are beginning to grow agitated with Martha Kalifatidis, who even managed to avoid being fired on Sunday – despite turning up exceptionally late to one of her meetings.
Many have come up with the theory that the 34-year-old is being protected by Nine producers because she is one of biggest stars to come out of Married At First Sight – the highest rating show on the network.

‘There’s some real Martha bias going on and I don’t like it,’ one viewer wrote on Twitter.
‘Martha staying is proof it’s in her contract,’ another added, while a third replied: ‘Oh course look at DWTS. All the celebs that win are from that tv network. Same with #CelebrityApprenticeAu all the CH9 celebs.’
‘Is this season set up for Martha to win, omg I hope not #CelebrityApprentice,’ a fourth wrote.
‘Enough to make me stop watching. Clearly Martha has been saved again for entertainment and ratings purposes,’ a fifth chimed in.

The fan reaction comes just weeks after Lord Alan Sugar – who serves as CEO on the show – dropped a major clue that Martha was crowned the overall winner.
The British billionaire is currently following only one of the contestants on Instagram: Martha.
By following the MAFS star on the social media platform, Lord Sugar could be signaling his approval of her business skills.
Meanwhile, on Sunday night’s trailer, Martha – who won the team task as project manager earlier in the show – was seen receiving the ultimate advantage from the business mogul.

‘So here’s the deal. I’m going to let you choose who you would like to swap out from your team for the other team,’ the British billionaire told the shocked influencer.
Unsure how to use the game changer to her advantage, Martha called on the help of David Genat, who was fired on Sunday for claims of ‘coasting along’ and playing the game.
With a sly expression, the model and Survivor star encouraged Martha to ‘cut your stronger player and pull in someone really weak’, and ‘play them if you need to’.
Celebrity Apprentice continues Monday at 7.30pm on Channel Nine
