Shocking New Twists Rock The New Season Of NBC's 'Apprentice'
|

Attorney-heavy contestant pool vies for the good life on NBC
Winning Team Will Live Like Trump Each Week in Luxurious Mansion,
While Losing Team Sleeps in the Back Yard in Tents |
|
LOS ANGELES -- Dramatic new twists and turns - and a cross-country move to Los Angeles - make NBC's new season of "The Apprentice" more compelling than ever when 18 new contestants engage in the series'
fiercest competition yet on Sunday, January 7 (9:30-11 p.m. ET).
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.
The new "Apprentice" cast ranges in age from 24-37 and includes an Olympic Gold medalist, an internet entrepreneur, a construction firm owner and the vice president of business and legal affairs for a movie studio. All will have to navigate the new twists and turns while vying for the coveted title of "The Apprentice" and the career opportunity of a lifetime working for the legendary business tycoon.
"The Apprentice" premieres at 9:30 p.m. ET Sunday, Jan. 7. It will air 90-minute episodes for its first two weeks, then move into the 9 p.m.
timeslot on Jan. 21.
