The Apprentice is the NYC version of Survivor that was based on the show Mark Burnett created along with another show. Men compete with women on 2 business teams in tasks that'll help them to win a prize of working with Donald Trump for $250,000/year job. But every week, a losing team is sent to the boardroom sending 1 player "Fired" for good. This here is definitely a springboard for other NBC shows to add more drama to the reality factor and will see someone have post- eliminating interviews the next day. BTW, if you're fired, you're B&W, color means you're staying in the race.

This FOX program was modeled after a rock concert but Todd Newton is calming down after he wrapped season 2 of GSN's "Whammy!" A "your Big Break" ripoff, but this time with 5 judges, a vocal coach during their bio segments and more make everything worth better than it was in 1999. The judges instead of the audience vote and see who goes on to win $20,000 and possibly, $200,000. I like it and hope that there is a second season for this show.

In order to keep the budget to a minimum, they decided to nix the Fastest Finger round and keep the top prize going. Meredith is the greatest host than Regis is, and had newer top right graphics for those entering the $16,000 level and used a "classical" ending if someone won a million bucks. This show is always a keeper at 4:30 on channel 24 before the 5 o'clock news come on.
