''The Celebrity Apprentice'' (also known as The Apprentice 7) is the seventh installment of the reality game show, ''Celebrity Apprentice''. This season features celebrity candidates vying for the title of Donald Trump's, "Best Business Brain," as a way to revitalize the series, with the winner donating their proceeds to charity. The series was designed after ''Comic Relief Does The Apprentice'', a charity special of the British Apprentice series. This installment marks the series' return to New York〔(McIver, Meredith; "They're Coming Back" trumpuniversity.com; September 20, 2007 )〕 after spending the previous season in Los Angeles and features abstract paintings by Seattle-based artist Maeve Harris. The series premiered on NBC on January 3, 2008 at 9:00PM. This is the first season where the candidates did not reside in a communal penthouse of Trump Tower which was more as a meeting vicinity and also the boardroom. The celebrities lived in Trump International Hotel and Tower. There are also no traditionally given rewards to the winning team apart from the winning project manager receiving an amount of $20,000 along with available proceeds from the tasks to be donated to his or her favorite charity. Nevertheless, the firing rule remained. ''America's Got Talent'' judge Piers Morgan was the winner, beating country music singer Trace Adkins in the finals. Ironically, Morgan was the only celebrity fired during the original British celebrity edition of the show. ==Candidates== The following is the list of candidates for this season, with their original team placements. The show went back to its original concept of men versus women. The all-women team named their team Empresario (a Spanish term meaning "entrepreneur", albeit ironically, it denotes a male entrepreneur) while the all-men team named theirs Hydra (after a monster from ancient Greek mythology.) In an unaired scene available on the web, Trump gave Marilu Henner's charity a $20,000 donation because he felt she deserved to win money for her charity. Donald Trump, in an apparent gesture to reconcile his feud with Rosie O'Donnell, offered her a contestant spot on the show but was turned down in a statement by O'Donnell's spokeswoman.〔(Rosie Answers Apprentice Invite with a Big, Fat "No" ), TV Guide〕 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 Apprentice (U.S. season 7)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
