Expedia.com has released the names of five former APPRENTICE contestants who are scheduled to participate.

Stacie J.
Age: 29
Residence: New York, NY
Marital Status: Single
Education: B.A., Emory University; M.B.A., Mercer University

Stacie J. is the multi-talented wildcard from Season 2. It is no wonder Stacie J. made a lasting impression on fans. She is a tough businesswoman and her female competitors were quick to put her to the test. With a diverse career in modeling, acting, and owning her own restaurant franchise, Stacie J. fits perfectly in New York´s playground. Her career started at 16 and by the end of grad school, she had opened her first restaurant. Stacie now owns a Subway Sandwich Shop franchise in Harlem and continues her professional modeling career with Ford Model Management.

Raj
Age: 28
Residence: Philadelphia, PA
Marital Status: Single
Education: B.S., Economics and B.A., History, Boston College

Fans of Season 2 will not likely forget Raj. With a very impressive list of qualifications, Raj showed his competitors his strengths stretch beyond the Boardroom. Most notable for his out-of-the-box fashion and keen eye for the ladies, Raj was able to bring humor to the most serious of tasks. With humor on his side, Raj has already proven himself as a business success. At age 23, he founded Automovia Technology Partners, which developed cutting-edge technology for automobiles. He later created Vanquish Enterprises, a real estate company, which acquired a hotel, retail and condo development in Vail, CO.

Jennifer C.
Age: 31
Residence: New York, NY
Marital Status: Single
Education: B.F.A., Syracuse University

Jenn C. is a competitor, to say the least. With beauty and brains, she showed fans of Season 2 that she is determined to have her share of success. Mr. Trump must have agreed when he chose her as part of the elite group. Mr. Trump himself stated, "She is very tough and she is very smart!" Jennifer has been a competitor since the age of nine. At 21, she launched her successful career as a magazine photo editor. Jennifer continued her career in true New York fashion by moving into the highly competitive real estate game and landing a position with one of the most prestigious firms in NY.

Bradford
Age: 31
Residence: Fort Lauderdale, FL
Marital Status: Single
Education: J.D., Nova Southeastern Law School

It´s obvious why Bradford was an immediate standout in Season 2. He exudes leadership and confidence, and those qualities coupled with his successful dual career as a defense attorney and a real estate investor quickly put him on the favorites list, especially with his female competitors and teammates. However, taking one for the team in Episode 2 didn´t sit well with Mr. Trump, and his career as THE APPRENTICE was cut short. Bradford continues to grow his law practice, Bradford Cohen Law, and increase his real estate investments in Florida.

Nick
Age: 29
Residence: Los Angeles, CA
Marital Status: Single
Education: B.A., English, University of San Diego

Nick Warnock left a lasting impression as one of the "final four" from the original APPRENTICE. Good old-fashioned hard work put Nick´s career on the map, and his determination and natural selling skills secured him a golden opportunity in THE APPRENTICE. He was a hard worker, a tough boardroom competitor, and a charmer. Nick continues to diversify himself in his business and personal life. His experience on the hit show has led to many opportunities, including TV and film roles, speaking engagements across the country, and endorsements deals. On top of all this, he is currently filming a pilot for his own business show.
