The Apprentice: LA premieres on Sunday at 9:30 PM ET/PT, in a special ninety minute episode. If you're a fan of The Apprentice, this should end up as one of the most exciting seasons yet. The new venue of Los Angeles for The Donald and his apprentices will be a nice change of scenery for the show. The Apprentice hasn't achieved the ratings juggernaut status that it once had. Ratings have declined since the first two seasons; something which NBC is hoping will change this season. Los Angeles, as you know, has a very different vibe than New York. The challenges will be quite different and the twist of having the winning team in a mansion and the losing team in tents will be fun.
NBC has just posted the first twenty minutes of the season premiere of The Apprentice: LA. You can find the video here. The introduction of Ivanka Trump as one of Donald's boardroom co-horts is interesting, and may be nothing more than a ratings ploy. She might bring something to the table, we don't know. The jury's still out. -Oscar Dahl, BuddyTV Senior Writer
