You haven't seen The Apprentice until you see it one episode after another. Donald Trump, one of America's most successful businessmen, teams up with executive producer Mark Burnett (Survivor) to create a thrilling, limitless ride where the prize is the opportunity of a lifetime. Experience the phenomenon like never before with all the peak moments you didn't see on TV, including many extras, interviews, insights, blurbs, and an exclusive peek at the following season! Who might have predicted The Apprentice would become such a buzz? One of the most watched in 2004. A number of 'reality' shows had crashed before its debut. Just as it was starting to seem as if the non-scripted program was ending, NBC's contestant into a crowd was a smash must-see phenomenon. The concept begins with real estate magnate Trump selecting sixteen interesting individuals from across the nation. The grand prize is a quarter mill annual position running one of his companies. Similar to producer Mark Burnett's 'Survivor,' the contestants are sent to an island - Manhattan. First, they shake hands, then divided into teams: the men (Versacorp) and the women (Protégé). The challenges ensue. The parallels to 'Survivor' are clear, but cunning will be more important than brawn - and stylish charisma always adds. Ending each episode, the less then lucky team is sent to the boardroom, where they meet with Trump and advisors Carolyn and George. Then one contestant hears: "You're fired." Although there can only be one winner, several emerged in the first season: unctuous Sam, plainspoken Nick, sassy Heidi, and abrasive Oma. Celebrities made guest appearances, Regis Philbin, Jessica Simpson. The success of The Apprentice would inspire a second season, as well as a lot of imitators and spoofs. From review: "Wow! I had never been in to The Apprentice, but now I understand why it ran for 14 seasons. I got it, started marathoning, and stayed up all night till about eleven o'clock the next morning watching it! Captivating!" Insured air post.
