In a series first, Trump chooses two captains to pick their own teams - after only just meeting. They´re given their first task - to utilize Goodyear blimps to market Sam´s Club Memberships. The team that markets the product most successfully wins.

"Synergy" gets off to a rough start when personalities clash as one candidate feels excluded and others feel threatened.

"Gold Rush" learns smooth sailing doesn´t always last. Tempers flare and accusations are made as candidates begin what is sure to become a heated 15- week job interview.

Trump´s loyal lieutenants George Ross and Carolyn Kepcher return for a fifth season along with the original APPRENTICE, Bill Rancic, who fills in for Ross while he is away on business.""

As previously announced, THE APPRENTICE, premieres on its new night - Mondays at 9 p.m. - with candidates hailing from the former U.S.S.R., England, and Canada as well as a MENSA member, joining Donald Trump for the fifth season of THE APPRENTICE.
