Created by Donald Trump, The Apprentice judges the
business skills of a group of contestants. The series
features aspiring, but unknown, businesspeople who vie
for a one-year $250,000 starting contract to promote one
of The Donald's properties. The show features 14 to 18
business people competing over the course of the season.

Contestants are split into two "corporations," with one member
from each corporation volunteering as a project manager on
each new task. The corporations complete business-related
tasks such as selling products, raising money for charity, or
creating an advertising campaign, with one corporation selected
as the winner based on objective measures and subjective
opinions of the host and the host's advisors who monitor them.

The losing corporation attends a boardroom meeting with The
Donald to break down why they lost and determine who
contributed the least to the team. Episodes ended with The
Donald eliminating one contestant with the words "You're Fired!"

There have been eight seasons of The Celebrity Apprentice
since 2008. In this format, several celebrities would
participate to win money for their chosen charities, with the
final prize being a large donation to the star's charity.
