      The Apprentice moves to Los Angeles, and eighteen new candidates vie for a coveted position with Donald Trump in this sixth season.

      In the season premiere, all of the candidates worked together to put up a large tent in an opening task that determined the two first team leaders and Project Managers -- Heidi and Frank. The two teams then competed to see who would make more money running a car wash. Heidi's team ended up bringing in more money for the win. They were treated to dinner at Spago with Trump and Melania for their reward. Frank's team went to the boardroom, where he was nearly fired for his bad leadership, but Martin was fired instead for not really doing all that much for the team and really not fitting the mold of what Trump thinks an Apprentice should be.moreless

Gold Rush, already a man down because of Lee's absence, gets off on the wrong foot when Charmaine schedules a meeting with the client that Project Manager Bryce gets them to 25 minutes late. With less time to get any decent input, the team puts together a decent jingle that lacks a crucial bit of info, giving the win to Synergy. For their reward, they dine at the luxurious Alain Ducasse restaurant. Gold Rush goes to boardroom, where Bryce refuses to hold Tarek and Charmaine accountable for the loss, instead trying to hold Lenny and Lee responsible.

Tarek is nearly fired for his poor leadership, but for stupidly interrupting Trump when he is about to fire Tarek, simply to say something incredibly irrelevant, Summer is fired instead.moreless

      In the conclusion, Trump is faced with the incredibly difficult decision with who to hire and who to fire since both Randal and Rebecca are stars in their own right. In the live final boardroom, Rebecca asserts her examples of leadership and why she deserves to win, but Randal's proclamations that a 1-2 record (Rebecca's) is far worse than a 3-0 record (Randal's) seem to be heard more than what Rebecca has to say, as the Donald considers his options and chooses Randal as the better of the two for his great education, outstanding leadership, and incredible likeability. After the hiring, Trump asks his new employee for advice, in front of everyone: should he hire Rebecca as well? Randal shoots that idea down with a shotgun, saying that he was picked as The Apprentice, and that there shouldn't be "Apprentii." The audience, including rebecca are dismayed but Trumph agrees with his new employee.moreless

Later in the boardroom, Rebecca receives criticism for not directly asking audience members of her comedy show to make donations to her charity, the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric Aids Foundation, but Rebecca support her decision, saying that it is what the Yahoo executives specifically asked for. Rebecca, however, is praised for her excellent event plans, with excellent Yahoo and Elizabeth Glaser signage throughout the room. Randal gets some flak for his poorly-run event, for not checking the weather forecast, and for not having a Plan "B," but is rewarded for raising awareness for the Autism Speaks chairty and raising $11,000. With the final tasks over, Rebecca and Randal discuss their journey on the show, and prepare for the live finale.moreless

      The final four are given the assignment to create a 30-second advertisement for a new Microsoft Office program, and while Rebecca and Randal work cohesively together, former friends Alla and Felisha begin to create a rift when Alla fails to recognize Project Manager Felisha's authority as team leader. During the team's presentations, the Microsoft executives are pleased with Excel's actors (Randal and Rebecca themselves) and the commercial's storyline approach. However, they are less than thrilled with Capital Edge's ad, which uses too much text and becomes confusing and hard-to-look-at. By a longshot, Excel wins the task and is rewarded with visits from loved ones on a boat. Meanwhile, Felisha breaks down in the boardroom after being trampled on by Alla, and Trump fires both women for two opposite reasons - Felisha for being too nice for New York, and Alla for being not nice enough.moreless

      When the players are given a high-stakes reward and a tough task, to get as many New Yorkers to call a 1-800 number in order to receive a free sample of Shania Twain's new fragrance, the competitiors get nasty, with Excel's two-man team sabotaging Capital Edge's Alla, Adam, and Felisha by buying their already-held megaphones. During the task, the teams devise very similar strategies to sell, hiring laborers to inform the city of New York about Shania's perfume by "wrapping" them in promotional posters, and the results come out very close. In fact, the megaphones may have made the difference between a win and a loss, seeing as how Excel only beats Capital Edge by five phone calls. While Rebecca and Randal enjoy a horseback ride and dinner with Shania Twain herself, the others face off in the boardroom, where Carolyn clearly voices her opinions about Felisha and Adam, naming them as the weakest left standing. Trump sends Project Manager Alla back up to the suite (an Apprentice first) and eventually fires Adam for wasting much of the budget on an ill-conceived idea.moreless

In the end, Capital Edge dominates and is rewarded with a helicopter ride around New York City, accompanied by Donald Trump. Excel, however, is sent to the boardroom, where all three teammates are interrogated about what they personally did wrong on the task. Ultimately, Trump is forced to rely on the candidates' histories, deciding to keep Randal and Rebecca based on their former success, while firing Clay, who has caused one too many arguments.moreless

Thus, the teams are shaken up, and Capital Edge Project Manager Alla is left with Felisha, Adam, Markus, Randal, and Clay, while Excel team leader Josh is forced to lead Jennifer M, Rebecca, Mark, James, Brian, and Marshawn. The teams are then given the responsibiity of designing a display and event for Dick's sporting goods to move merchandise in a specific product category.
