| abstract | - The star of The Apprentice is the Almighty Righteous Superior Excellent Holy Omnipotent Lord Esteemed, Alan Sugar, often known as simply Sir Alan. He sends his two bodyguards, Nick and Margaret (although Margaret was gunned down by a South American gang during series 5) out to assassinate - sorry, I meant assess - the two teams, who often adopt cryptic names such as "Stealth", "Eclipse", "Blackjack", "Drug Mule", and "Rohypnol". The teams compete against each other (but more importantly, themselves) in tasks such as selling drugs, advertising their bodies for sex, and just generally making money through bank robberies. The bodyguards are there to ensure that the teams aren't ambushed by the Gestapo; in the first series, there were no bodyguards; as a result, this series was only two episodes long, as all the candidates were dead by then. When the teams return to the opium den boardroom, Sir Alan declares the winning team (often by comparing who's the most stoned), who return to their house to get even more stoned. Sir Alan then makes the losing team play Russian Roulette to see who would be fired. Eventually the last two candidates are reunited with some of their former teammates, as they form teams for the final mission, which varies each series. Typically it is only the finalists' performance that is assessed, since the others are dead. Sir Alan then flips a coin to determine the winner. Controversially, it was revealed that he used a double-headed coin in the first few series. Since then, Sir Alan has been banned from making the coin flip; instead, a guy called Derren does it instead.
