The U.S. series originated a franchise of international television shows collectively known as The Apprentice, which has had over 20 local versions. The contestants live in a communal dwelling, a \”penthouse suite\”, in New York City. The candidates are divided into two teams, treated as ‘corporations’ within the show. Each week, the teams are assigned a task and required to select one of their members to lead the team as ‘project manager’ The corporations complete business-related tasks such as selling products, raising money for charity, or creating an advertising campaign, with one corporation selected as the winner based on objective measures and subjective opinions of the host and his advisors. The winning team wins a reward and are excused from the boardroom while the losing team returns to the next stage on the TV stage for an elimination. The losing team remains in the board room and are interrogated as to their loss to the host for their reasons for their loss. Upon returning to the final stage, the project manager is asked to select a number of teammates to bring back into the final-stage boardroom meeting.
The remaining teammates return to the suite while the host consults with his advisors so that the remaining players can be selected to step out of the boardrooms for the final stages of the game. The final stage is when the team selects a winner and the winner is announced. This stage is known as the ‘boardroom meeting’ and occurs at the end of the final season of The Apprentice.
