The Apprentice (US)

A Rhodes Scholar, NFL player and an inventor are among Donald Trump's "hand-picked" cast of eighteen young entrepreneurs on the fourth season of NBC's "The Apprentice". "For the first time, I hand-picked an Apprentice cast and I'm thrilled with the results," said Donald Trump, executive producer. "This is the best reality show cast I've ever encountered. They have it all: beauty, brains, and big bucks."

Ranging in age from 22-41, the candidates competing on season four boast degrees from Oxford, Wharton, MIT, and Georgetown and several of the candidates are already millionaires. A wide range of applicants will greet Trump including an NFL player-turned ad sales executive, an inventor, a salon and spa chain owner, a financial journalist and a risk manager.

Trump's trusted advisors, George Ross and Carolyn Kepcher will both return for a fourth season and the original "Apprentice" Bill Rancic will fill-in for Ross when he is away on business. Tasks will once again feature some of the biggest companies in the world and the weekly rewards will be better than ever. A new twist involving project managers will keep the candidates on their toes.

As the winner of the competition, the fourth "Apprentice" will be granted the dream job of a lifetime with The Trump Organization and a hefty six-figure salary.
