THE APPRENTICE Renewed For Sixth Season - Will Move To West Coast

THE APPRENTICE Renewed For Sixth Season - Will Move To West Coast

NBC announced today that THE APPRENTICE has been picked up for a sixth season with a new twist - for the first time in APPRENTICE history, the show will be filmed outside of Manhattan and the tri-state area and will shoot in Southern California. The announcement was made by Kevin Reilly, President, NBC Entertainment.

Donald Trump will once again fire the shots, as well as executive produce along with Mark Burnett, as the new candidates vie for the coveted title of APPRENTICE. The competition - along with new challenges, twists and surprises - also will feature tasks indigenous to and emblematic of the new locale.

" THE APPRENTICE continues to be a top performer for NBC so we´re pleased that the show and Donald Trump will continue to play a key role in this network´s future through a fifth and now sixth cycle," said Reilly. "We think viewers will agree that a California back-drop, with Donald´s West Coast business interests and relationships, will provide an exciting new flavor for the series next season."

"I am honored by the great success of THE APPRENTICE and it´s been a lot of fun working with Mark Burnett and NBC," Trump, Executive Producer. "I could never have imagined that firing sixty-seven people on national television would actually make me more popular, especially with the younger generation. While I love shooting in New York City, I look forward to filming season six in Los Angeles."

"Donald has so many recent West Coast projects, that it made perfect sense to change locations and along with it change the flavor of the weekly tasks," said Burnett, Creator and Executive Producer, Mark Burnett Productions. "Seeing Donald operate in Southern California will provide yet more insight into his remarkable world."

To apply for the sixth season of THE APPRENTICE please visit www.nbc.com or www.apprentice.yahoo.com to download an application and look for casting calls in a city near you soon.

The current season of THE APPRENTICE, which remains network television´s most upscale unscripted series, culminates with the live finale from New York City´s Lincoln Center where Trump will select his fourth APPRENTICE (Thursday, December 15th, 9-11 p.m. ET/PT).

"THE BIGGEST LOSER tells a very relatable story for many viewers and offers an upbeat and empowering challenge," said Reilly. "We are also pleased with the ratings momentum that the show has built in a competitive time slot."

"We are thrilled THE BIGGEST LOSER franchise is healthier than ever and that we will continue to have an opportunity with NBC to entertain and empower our avid fan base," said Executive Producer and Reveille CEO Ben Silverman.

NBC Announces Reality TV Game Show - Deal or No Deal

Fortune May Favor the Bold as Deal-making Contestants Can Win Anything from a Penny to $1 Million Dollars During Intense Game of Chance and Odds

NBC announced that its high-stakes version of the international hit game show DEAL OR NO DEAL - hosted by actor-comedian Howie Mandel - will premiere as a four-night event from Monday, December 19 through Thursday, December 22 (8-9 p.m. all nights).

Hosted by Mandel (HIDDEN HOWIE), DEAL OR NO DEAL is an exhilarating game show from the producers of NBC's FEAR FACTOR and EXTREME MAKEOVER: HOME EDITION where contestants play and deal for a top prize of $1 million dollars in a high-energy match of nerves, instincts and raw intuition.

The unique scheduling announcement was made by Kevin Reilly, President, NBC Entertainment.

"DEAL OR NO DEAL has a proven international track record and we think it has all the drama and excitement to keep American audiences on the edge of their seats," said Reilly.

Each night, the game of odds and chance unfolds when a contestant is confronted with 26 sealed briefcases full of varying amounts of cash -- ranging from a measly penny to $1 million dollars. Without knowing the amount in each briefcase, the contestant picks one -- his to keep, if he chooses, until its unsealing at game´s end.

The risk element of the game kicks in when the player must then instinctively eliminate the remaining 25 cases - which are opened and the amount of cash inside revealed. The pressure mounts as in each round, after a pre-determined number of cases are opened, the participant is tempted by a mysterious entity known only as "The Bank" to accept an offer of cash in exchange for what might be contained in the contestant´s chosen briefcase - prompting Mandel to ask the all-important question - DEAL OR NO DEAL?

As each case is opened, the likelihood of the player having a valuable cash amount in his or her own case decreases or increases. Viewers will see if truly, fortune favors the bold. The contestant knows that as long as the larger cash prizes haven´t been opened, the Bank´s deals will only get higher. And if the torn contestant accidentally opens a case with a bigger cash value - The Bank´s offer could suddenly vaporize.

Doctor Is Announced For Next Edition THE BACHELOR - Takes Place Paris

Twenty-Five Beautiful Bachelorettes Will Be Paging New Bachelor Doctor Travis Stork -- Stat -- As He Romances Them In Paris, When THE BACHELOR Returns To ABC On January 9, 2006

Vanderbilt Medical Center´s Own "Dr. McDreamy" Will Star in the Popular Romance Reality Series, Which Will Be Set -- for the First Time Ever -- Outside the United States, In the Most Romantic City in the World.

Travis Stork, a handsome 33-year-old ER doctor who is completing his residency at Vanderbilt Medical Center in Nashville, Tennessee, has been selected to star in the eighth edition of THE BACHELOR. THE BACHELOR, when ABC´s popular romance reality series returns to the network on Monday, January 9 (10:00-11:00 p.m., ET). For the first time ever the series will be set outside the United States in the most romantic city in the world - Paris!

Travis, who graduated Magna Cum Laude from Duke University and earned his MD from University of Virginia, has a true passion for helping people, but the one thing that is missing is a woman to share his life. Now he will take on that challenge against a spectacular backdrop that will include the Eiffel Tower, the breathtaking Champs Elysies and the historic Arc de Triomphe.

The beauty of the show, according to Travis, is that it will give him the chance to step back from his career and job and focus on his personal life, concentrating all his attention and energy on meeting some amazing women.

This season THE BACHELOR will return to its popular, traditional roots, highlighting all the romance and fantasy of new relationships. And, what better place for the perfect love story to play out than Paris -- the City of Lights.

The hunky 6´4" doctor is a favorite with all the nurses at Vanderbilt. However, the Ft. Collins, Colorado native, who has a traditional Midwest upbringing, yearns to have the type of relationship that he has seen played out during his parents´ 37-year-long romance. Travis considers himself a simple guy with simple pleasures, which he thinks accounts for his being a happy person. When he has time to take off, he´s is a huge outdoors enthusiast. A real devotee of mountain and road biking, he also enjoys kayaking and hiking.

What kind of woman is Travis looking for? Along with such attributes as being genuine, honest and caring, and someone who is somewhat adventurous and athletic, "it´s the woman who catches my eye - maybe with the way she smiles, the way I first react to her. I get that feeling inside you really can´t describe."
