The series' first season starred Omarosa (née Manigault), who in 2004 appeared on the first season of ''The Apprentice'', another American reality series.〔("Omarosa: 'The Apprentice' TV show's most popular contestant has the nation talking and watching." ), ''JET'', April 12, 2004. Retrieved July 4, 2010.〕 Season 2 premiered on August 4, 2011, starring former ''America's Next Top Model'' and ''Celebrity Fit Club'' contestant Toccara Jones. ==Show format== The format of ''The Ultimate Merger'' is reminiscent of two previous reality series, ''The Bachelorette'' and ''The Apprentice''. Twelve men selected by billionaire real estate mogul Donald Trump (host and co-executive producer of ''The Apprentice'') compete for the affections of Omarosa, the former political consultant who has become the most popular ''Apprentice'' contestant. Omarosa receives assistance in the selection process from her spiritual advisor Dr. Jamal Harrison Bryant, pastor of the Empowerment Temple A.M.E. Church in Baltimore, Maryland. Other personalities appearing on the series include comedians George Wallace and Loni Love, TV chef G. Garvin, author Karrine Steffans, and ''Apprentice'' alumni Katrina Campins, Troy McClaine and Nick Warnock. While on the show, the contestants live together in a huge suite at the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada.〔 In each episode, they are directed to participate in a mental or physical challenge designed to gauge each man's potential compatibility with Omarosa. The winner(s) of each challenge attend a date with her later that evening. Subsequently, the contestants must gather in the "Mediation Room", where Omarosa (assisted by Dr. Bryant or another celebrity guest) questions several of the contestants regarding their actions and attitudes while on the show. One or more contestants is then selected for elimination by Omarosa, and that man must immediately leave Trump International and the show. This process resulted in one man, R&B singer Ray Lavender, remaining as the potential beau for Omarosa. However, because Lavender was legally separated at the time (and thus technically still married), he was eliminated as well – and Omarosa was left with no one. Soon after the first season finale, Omarosa publicly revealed that she was in a new relationship with Academy Award-nominated actor Michael Clarke Duncan. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Ultimate Merger」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
