New Season begins January 7th on NBC.

Other than the setting being Los Angeles, there are other twists:

"The Apprentice" moves to Southern California for season six of the unscripted series, leaving Manhattan for the first time in the history of the show. Trump will once again do the firing - and the hiring - as 18 enterprising candidates vie for the coveted title of "The Apprentice" and the career opportunity of a lifetime working for the legendary business tycoon.

Along with the new Southern California backdrop comes a whole new series of surprising twists and turns that will make this the liveliest and most challenging competition yet among candidates eager to become the next "Apprentice."

In a compelling social experiment of haves and have nots, contestants this season will have to earn the right to live like Trump. Each week, the contestants on the winning team will get to live in a luxurious mansion. But contestants on the losing team will have to sleep outside in tents in the back yard of the mansion with outdoor showers and port-a-potties, giving contestants more incentive than ever to win their tasks each week.

In another engaging new twist, the winning project manager each week will remain project manager until they lose, plus they will also sit in the boardroom and help advise Trump on who he should fire each week from their opposing team. Ivanka and Donald Trump Jr. will return for several episodes, along with previous "Apprentice" winners, as boardroom advisors to their father.

I don't know. Carolyn was integral of the show for me. And the board room scene in the preview didn't feature George, either. Just Ivanka and Bill Rancic.

I'll still give it a shot, though...

Saw the first four episodes. Only got interesting after the fourth one. It's a train wreck of a season... and I'm glued.

Reuven Malter · « **Reply #62 on:** Apr 09, 2007 at 09:39 PM »

Glad I stuck around throughout the whole season so far. I thought the boardroom this season could be the show's best (among all six seasons). I also guess that it was the first time that the final four all came from the same original team.

Mr. Hankey · « **Reply #63 on:** Apr 24, 2007 at 09:17 AM »

Yeah, I enjoyed that it was the people initially perceived as the underdogs that ended up in the Final Four.

I liked Trump's choice. I had no idea why the opposing pair was even there - the girl should've been fired during the previous Las Vegas task, and the guy was just lacking in refinement for an executive position.

It was great to see George on the show. Ivanka did a kick-ass job (though we didn't see her that often), but George's composed, fatherly demeanor was missed. And despite my statement above regarding Carolyn... I didn't miss her in the least this season. I guess it's true. She was entertaining to watch, but ultimately not really vital to have.

At the end of the show, I noticed Trump said "We'll see you soon," not "We'll see you next season." Between that and the show's ratings this year, I guess that makes it almost official that the show's been cancelled.

Reuven Malter · « **Reply #64 on:** Apr 25, 2007 at 08:24 AM »

Renewal seems possible. The finale this season was No.1 with NBC's target audience of 18- to 49-year-olds and turned in the highest rating with that crowd since Jan. 28.

Mark Burnett says the show has always been relatively inexpensive to produce and if NBC were not interested to continue airing the franchise, he'd readily pitch it to another network.

Although Stefani is the first winner not to have become a project manager (more because of the stupid rule this season), I think she is also the first winner not to have been brought back to the boardroom until the finale.

Mr. Hankey · « **Reply #65 on:** May 19, 2007 at 03:06 PM »

Trump's ego has dictated that since The Apprentice wasn't on NBC's new season line up, they can't fire him, since he quit!

‘You can’t fire me, I quit,’ says Trump to NBC

That's really funny, since didn't he and Don Jr. actually tell someone who quit during a boardroom last season that a quitter was basically the most pathetic kind of loser that they had absolutely no respect for?

Mr. Hankey · « **Reply #66 on:** Jul 08, 2007 at 07:03 PM »

And six weeks later, it's now apparently been saved from cancellation.

The networks are going crazy with revoked cancellations these days.

The 'final' installment is said to be a celebrity edition. They should have gotten past contestants instead of celebrities. Rosie was invited to join but obviously, declined the offer.

Reuven Malter · « **Reply #68 on:** Sep 13, 2007 at 03:11 AM »

The first celebrity confirmed to join the show... Charisma Carpenter!

sardaukar · « **Reply #69 on:** Mar 03, 2009 at 03:58 PM »

Trump is back this week for a second round of Celebrity Apprentice. And lots of drama from the first episode alone.

Also, Brande Roderick is hot! Hope she stays for a while. Makes me wanna dig up some old magazines.

Its interesting with "the worm" joining this season's shananigans hehhehe

This week's firing is the most explosive I've seen on reality TV. Ever.

Definitely. Didn't see that coming since she was less outspoken during the task and the boardroom. Was rooting for Jesse since the start of the show but his behavior towards Clint, of whom I'm not fond, turned me off. I think Annie deserves to win. Shades of Piers Morgan.

Also rooting for Jesse. His behavior was a turn off but I kinda understand where that attitude was coming from. He's been so low key the whole time and, finally, here's a task where he can really show his mettle. The arrogance though is that he wanted everyone to follow his idea. Nevertheless, he's the breakout star of this season mainly because he had the most memorable one-liners.

Korek ka dyan, bro. I now find myself eagerly anticipating every new episode.

That mother and daughter team crack me up! It's fun to watch pikon, vindictive people on reality shows.

toughthrone · « **Reply #79 on:** May 13, 2009 at 10:17 PM »

grabe ung final episode. i didn't like both finalists, but trump picked the lesser of two evils IMHO. hehe

indie boi · « **Reply #80 on:** May 13, 2009 at 10:51 PM »

Trump picking Rivers was bleh. She did win in the task by acing three of the five criteria. But I think Duke was, overall, the better performing contestant.

toughthrone · « **Reply #81 on:** May 20, 2009 at 04:06 PM »

true, duke was ruthless, and played the game really well. if the competition is based on just results, without any care on how the game was played, then yes, duke should have won. but no, it's based on trump's ego. so rivers got it. :p

The cast of The Celebrity Apprentice 3 has been revealed:

Darryl Strawberry, former MLB all-star
Bret Michaels, Poison frontman and VH1 Reality TV star
Bill Goldberg, two-time WWE World Heavyweight Champion
Michael Johnson, Olympic track and field gold medalist
Rod Blagojevich, former Illinois governor
Sinbad, comedian
Curtis Stone, TV chef
Cyndi Lauper, singer and songwriter
Sharon Osbourne, wife of Ozzy Osbourne and Reality TV star
Holly Robinson Peete, actress and children's book author
Selita Ebanks, Victoria's Secret model
Maria Kanellis, WWE wrestler
Carol Leifer, comedian, writer and producer
Summer Sanders, Olympic swimming gold medalist

The show starts on NBC on March 14th. I'm a bit concerned that Ivanka isn't in the group shot. She's a big part of what makes the show entertaining, I hope she's still in it this year.

Go Cyndi Lauper!
