"THE APPRENTICE" WILL INTRODUCE THE ALL-NEW SOLSTICE!

NEW YORK – April 12, 2005 – There’s crying in the boardroom for the first time on NBC’s “The Apprentice” (April 14, 9-10pm ET) as emotions run very high after this week’s firing. Trump feels so bad that he invites this person to join him on the other side of the boardroom table and a sincere, tear-filled moment ensues.
On this week’s task candidates create a promotional brochure for Pontiac’s new Solstice roadster. Armed with top-notch photographers, graphic artists and models, each team must design and print the brochures before presenting their finished product to Pontiac executives. During the task delivery Trump also announces that the winner of this season’s “Apprentice” will receive their very own Solstice.

An unlikely hero emerges during the task and blows away the competition with their creativity and dedication. Both teams attempt to pull all-nighters to complete the task but one project manager is left alone by their sleepy colleagues.

An amusing team-building reward at Madison Square Garden features Trump shooting foul shots with the winning team along side Isaiah Thomas and some of The New York Knicks.

Remaining Candidates:
“NET WORTH”: Chris, Alex and one candidate from “Magna”
“MAGNA”: Kendra, Tana, Bren, Craig

Week 12 Exemption: Tana

"The Solstice evokes a passionate response from just about everyone who sees it," said Mark-Hans Richer, Pontiac marketing director. "It was fun watching The Apprentice candidates get hooked on Solstice, just as we hope the rest of the country soon will."
