The Apprentice sees fourteen
candidates, competing against each other for a position at Lord Alan
Sugar's company. Each week the candidates take part in a task set by
Lord Sugar. Each team will have a Team Leader who managers that group
for that task. The team that performs the best will win a reward and
avoid the boardroom. The losing team will be summoned to the boardroom
where their team leader will be forced to pick two people in their team
who we join them in the boardroom and a chance to be fired. After twelve
weeks Lord Sugar will be left with his Apprentice, who will work for
him at a salary of $100,000. Lord Sugar is very busy so he has Nick and
Karen, who act as his eyes and ears, to inform him of what's going on.
