The Apprentice is the ultimate job interview, where sixteen Americans (eighteen in seasons two through six, fourteen in season seven) compete in a series of rigorous business tasks, many of which include prominent Fortune 500 companies and require street smarts and intelligence to conquer, in order to show Donald Trump, the boss, that they are the best candidate for his companies. In each episode, the losing team is sent to the boardroom, where Trump and his associates, Carolyn Kepcher and George Ross, and later, his children, Donald Trump, Jr., and Ivanka Trump, judge the job applicants on their performance in the task. One person is fired and sent home. Who will succeed? Who will fail? And who will be The Apprentice?

This week's task is to produce a four-page advertorial for Donald Trump's fashion line. But first, Trump mixes up the teams with a corporate restructuring by sending David and Anand to Fortitude and Brandy and Liza to Octane. Octane makes the better advertorial for the win. Fortitude went to the boardroom, where David was fired.
