The Apprentice 5 is the fifth series of The Apprentice , with Donald Trump as the Executive Producer and Host. Applications were available online (as in previous seasons) and filming occurred in the fall of 2005.

Sean Yazbeck was named the winner and hired by Donald Trump as the new Apprentice during the season finale. Lee Bienstock, the runner-up to Yazbeck, proved to be very competitive and was hired outside of television a few months later.

This season of the show was the first to not rank in the Top 50 according to Nielsen ratings and the first to garner less than 10 million viewers on average; it ranked #51 with an average of 9.73 million viewers.

The Apprentice 5 was the last season to have George H. Ross and Carolyn Kepcher as main boardroom judges and also the last original-concept one to take place in New York City, although the Celebrity Apprentice edition returned to Manhattan. The show moved to Los Angeles, California the following season and Donald Trump's children became the most prominent judges after him.

The Apprentice 5 on Monday February 27, 2006, right after the new hit game show Deal or No Deal . NBC, facing a ratings slump, opted to put future seasons of the show on Monday nights (as opposed to its past Thursday 9 pm ET slot). The network hoped to build the show's audience by making this move, as the program had witnessed a fairly substantial erosion in ratings since The Apprentice 1 . However, the show faced tough competition with the Fox's fifth season of 24 . The finale for The Apprentice 5 took place in Los Angeles on June 5, 2006. Season 5's finale was the lowest rated ever, down 23% from season 4 and down 28% from season 3's final episode (in the important 18-49 demographic).

The Apprentice 5 marked the debut of Donald Trump's children, Ivanka Trump and Donald Trump Jr. as boardroom judges when either George or Carolyn were unavailable. Season 1 Apprentice Bill Rancic, not a stranger to the boardroom scene, also filled in for George when George or Donald Jr. were not available. Jack McConnell, the First Minister of Scotland, makes an appearance in one of the episodes.

For the first time in Apprentice history, all episodes of this season (including the Clipshow with never-seen-before footage) could be obtained at iTunes for indefinite viewing after the episode has aired.

Candidates

In this season, candidates were not exclusively American: the cast contains cast members from Azerbaijan, the United Kingdom, and Canada. As with Season 4 of the show, Trump hand-picked the candidates. Furthermore, Trump hand-picked Tarek and Allie, in an Apprentice first , to be "lead-off" Project Managers and to draft their own teams before the first task is issued. This is the first time in Apprentice history that the teams were formed regardless of gender (Seasons 1, 2, 4) or educational status (Season 3), giving the Project Manager flexibility to form who they want on the teams. Because this process was conducted after only preliminary introductions, some reasoning was a bit arbitrary—such as Tarek picking Dan because he is a dad, or Allie picking Tammy because she was a real tiger.

The Winning Project Manager, throughout the season, was not exempt from firing, therefore everyone had to do a satisfactory job and not be responsible for the loss in order to be safe.

The final regular-season records were Synergy defeating Gold Rush more times, 8-5. However, for Synergy, two of those losses came in the final two tasks of the interview process after one of its original members, Sean Yazbeck, switched to Gold Rush in Week 11, and Synergy became the second company shut down by order of Donald J. Trump as of Week 13. Yazbeck reverted Gold Rush's losing streak in the final weeks and was a significant factor to Synergy's shutdown.

Lee Bienstock stayed on Gold Rush the entire time, and finished 5-8, with a Project Manager record of 3-1. Sean Yazbeck finished 9-4 (7-3 while at Synergy, 2-1 when transferred to Gold Rush), and held a spotless record as Project Manager (2-0). Trump (including the home viewers) opted to hire/crown Sean Yazbeck as opposed to Lee Bienstock at the end of the finale.

1 - Trump announced there would be two fired candidates in week 2. Stacy Schneider was fired first, Jose "Pepi" Diaz second.
2 - Trump decided he would fire two candidates in week 10. Charmaine Hunt was fired first, Tarek Saab second.
3 - Trump fired two candidates in week 13. Allie Jablon and Roxanne Wilson were both fired simultaneously.

Team picks

  • Because Tarek had a high IQ and was a Mensa member, Trump had him step forward to be a project manager.
  • And because he had a great deal of respect for Harvard Business School, Trump asked Allie to be the other project manager.
  • Using alternate selections, one at a time, both of them picked their respective teams in the following order:

Episodes

Week 1: Summer of Sam's Club

  • Airdate: February 27, 2006
  • Sponsor: Wal-Mart and Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company
  • Prologue: Trump arrived at Republic Airport in New York where George and Carolyn were waiting to introduce him to the new candidates aboard his jet. Back on the tarmac, Trump had each candidate say a few words about him or herself.
    • As an Apprentice first, Trump chose Tarek and Allie to be project managers for the first task and asked both of them to form the teams.
    • After being picked by Project Manager Allie, Pepi suggested the name for their team should be Synergy despite the fact that Brent wanted it to be Killer Instinct , whereas Project Manager Tarek named his team Gold Rush .
  • Project: Teams had to promote a Sam's Club store by giving out freebies and to be the team to sell the most memberships. Teams could use a Goodyear Blimp for promotional purposes. The team emerges as the winner by just simply selling the most new or upgraded memberships.
  • Gold Rush project manager: Tarek
  • Synergy Project Manager: Allie
  • Winning team: Synergy
    • Synergy's reward: Lunch at the Penn Club with Donald Trump.
  • Losing team: Gold Rush
    • Reasons for loss: Summer's attitude was questionable, giving up during the task and making only one phone call while she was supposed to make as many as possible. She also demonstrated a lack of confidence in her team's ability to win before the boardroom, in spite of the fact they lost by less than an 8% margin. Tote bags were also misrepresented as gift bags (with nothing inside them) and were also given away for free, not in exchange of a new membership, as declared by Tarek to Carolyn during the task. The reasons for the loss were also the week's Pain of the Task .
    • Sent to boardroom: Tarek, Summer, Lenny and Lee
      • Firing decision: After Lee and Lenny claimed Tarek was a leader with no common sense before Trump, Summer suddenly interrupted Trump to make a correction to one of his statements, and it was not a good time for that because, as Trump said, he "was practically ready to fire" Tarek. Summer's interruption caused Trump to lose his patience, and given Summer's lack of judgement and poor contribution power in this task, he fired Summer without hesitation. Summer's poor boardroom strategy, lack of contribution to the task and poor attitude made her the obvious target and the first apprentice fired by Donald Trump this season.
    • Fired: Summer for her bad attitude, virtually doing little or nothing to help the team throughout the task and for poor strategy and logic in the boardroom.

Week 2: The Razor's Edge

  • Airdate: March 6, 2006
  • Hosting Company: Procter & Gamble
  • Project: Teams had to promote the Gillette Fusion razor blade by asking people to text message a key word to a number. The winner would be determined by the number of text messages produced.
  • Gold Rush project manager: Lee
  • Synergy Project Manager: Pepi
    • Pain of the Task: Stacy felt threatened by Brent during a product advertisement planning conversation and made a big deal out of it, causing a lot of friction and wasting a great deal of time for the team. Pepi could not control the situation and animosity spread throughout the team.
  • Winning team: Gold Rush
    • Gold Rush's reward: Aiding non-profit organization Career Gear in its mission to motivate Disadvantaged Men, helping them find and keep jobs that will support them and their families and dressing them in better clothes.
  • Losing team: Synergy
    • Reasons for loss: Synergy didn't wake up as early as the other team to get started on the task. Trump claimed Gold Rush already had received 100 text messages by the time Synergy got out on the street. Gold Rush had scouted a location beforehand but Synergy relied on native New Yorker Stacy to pick th
