Season changes
This season featured 18 candidates, whereas the first season only had 16.
Three new twists were introduced to The Apprentice this season. First, each team was unexpectedly forced at the season's outset to make a 1-for-1 player swap, resulting in a male on the female team (Bradford), and a female on the male team (Pamela). The traded members then became the project managers for the first task. Second, it was revealed that a project manager for the winning team would be immune from being fired the following week.
Finally, the losing project manager could choose either two or three people to bring to the boardroom to be considered for firing. Surprisingly, the option to take three people to the boardroom was only used twice, with the first person (Ivana Ma) who did so making the decision after pressure to do so from Donald Trump.
The candidates
1 – In an unannounced move, Trump fired two candidates week 11. Boren was fired first.
2 – As planned, Trump fired two candidates week 14. Allen was fired first.
