Interesting twists, Wilson.

I think the "sleeping in tents" stuff is too much like Survivor, and I think it's tacky for the high end business world. Trump is taking his show so far away from the realities of the business world.

Second, I am not sure how much I like the PM staying on until they lose. I think that would compel a lot of non-PMs to "throw their PM under the bus". This can only be prevented if the loser tents are a worse fate than keeping the same PM.

James Sun, the contestant from Seattle, graduated from the high school I work at. I knew James well while he was in school and it will be exciting for me to watch him.

Most of us at school just found out today that James was going to be on this show. I hope he really does well.

i'm hoping that this TENT punishment will be awful enough to stop the Mutiny of the team.

We've seen it so many times. A team decides to try to get rid a person so they sort of throw the challenge.

Yuck, portapotties!

Bill Ramsey was on Rachael Raye Show today - dont think he's with Trump, but was introduced as Season 1 The Apprentice Winner.

Saw a commercial for the show with the team in tents, and Trump saying, no more cushy - make them cry (words to that effect! surely taken out of context) the team in tents, it looked more like tarps (only not blue, opaque) and army cots - and the rain storm blew in and the sides were flapping, and it looked cold...

agree, not much of a reality showcase of an apprentice, but good for ratings!! Wonder if the more women signify, more cat fights - better ratings?

She probably did mean Bill, and I read today that he just got engaged to that Guiliana chick on e! Sounds like a really nice engagement he put on.

Is it really a storm making the tent flop all around or is it Donald's helicopter, purposely landing nearby to reek havoc?

I'm not a big fan of Trump but I love this show. It's one of the funniest things on TV. The second last episode last year with the redesign of the Hotel clothing was hysterical.

The hotel clothing episode was one of my favorites too. Those people were so clueless but my favorite parts were the absolute confidence the losing team had and the funny looks the employees were giving.

El Pollo Loco meets Donald Trump

The Irvine chicken chain is the center of an upcoming challenge on 'The Apprentice: Los Angeles.'
By NANCY LUNA
The Orange County Register
El Pollo Loco just got Trumped.

The Irvine-based chicken chain and its chief executive, Steve Carley, are the primary focus of the Jan. 28 episode of Donald Trump's "The Apprentice: Los Angeles."

In the already-taped episode, the contestants are told on a Mulholland Drive hilltop to concoct and market a new version of one of the chain's Pollo Bowls. During the 3-minute limo drive to the scene, Carley said he was stunned when Trump, after reading the script, asked him to deliver the challenge to the apprentices. That task – a key moment in all episodes – is strictly a Trump gig.

"It was one of those 'Holy smokes, you've got to be kidding me' kind of deals," Carley said Monday.

Despite his nervousness, Carley told the New York real state mogul, "Certainly, Donald."

He did the scene in one take. He would later be featured in several other shots as he and Pollo's chief marketing officer, Karen Eadon, coached the teams as they crafted, branded and sold their bowls in two Los Angeles restaurants.

El Pollo paid to be on the show, though Carley wouldn't say how much.

Such product placement advertising is increasingly popular, as companies hope to expose brand-name products within the context of TV shows, as opposed to in traditional commercials.

Another local company, Barbecues Galore of Lake Forest, also snagged product placement on the reality show, which premiered Sunday night. The company's grills are featured in the back yard of the Los Angeles mansion occupied by the apprentices.

Carley said the Los Angeles locale made for an ideal opportunity for El Pollo Loco to expose the brand nationally using product placement, which he said is more cost-effective than commercials.

"We jumped at the chance," Carley said.

Over the next few years, the 359-unit chain will add more than 150 restaurants outside its core West Coast market.

During the challenge, two teams are allowed to use any restaurant ingredients – from pinto beans to gravy – to make a unique Pollo Bowl recipe. The Original Pollo Bowl contains chicken, pinto beans, rice, cilantro, onion and Pico de Gallo salsa.

The contestants name the bowl, market it and sell it in stores with Carley and Eadon overlooking.

"Karen and I were Donald's eyes and ears during course of the task," Carley said.

Carley was not allowed to reveal details of the hourlong episode. Despite getting a chunk of air time, Carley said he was not allowed in the boardroom, the setting of the always-intense scenes where Trump fires a bungling apprentice.

"That's the kind of climactic scene I didn't expect we'd be sharing in," Carley said.

It was the second reality show stint for El Pollo Loco. Last year, contestants from NBC's "The Biggest Loser" chowed down on the chain's flame-grilled chicken after they were told it was a healthy fast-food option.

The winning "Apprentice" bowl will not be sold at stores, El Pollo Loco said.

Starting Jan. 28, consumers can go online and create their own Pollo bowl. The winning entry will get tickets to the live season finale of "The Apprentice," the company said. For more information, go to www.elpolloloco.com .

NORM: Trump, NBC weigh an LV 'Apprentice'

Odds are improving that Donald Trump and NBC are leaning toward filming a full season of "The Apprentice" in Las Vegas.

During a meeting with TV critics last week in Los Angeles, Trump was asked whether the seventh season might pop up in other cities.

Trump said he could see it going back to New York "every other year" because NBC likes "the idea of roving it. If you look at 'Survivor,' every year it's a different jungle."

Craig Plestis, senior vice president of alternative programs & development for NBC Universal, "has been talking about Miami, Las Vegas, Chicago," Trump said.

That fits with what Trump's Las Vegas associate Jack Wishna senses.

"Las Vegas has an excellent shot," said Wishna, who brokered the partnership between Trump and New Frontier owner Phil Ruffin for a hotel-condominium tower.

A Las Vegas episode of "The Apprentice" will be part of this current season, which was shot in Los Angeles.

Trump must be planning a golf course and giant flagpole in Vegas next.

TVGuide.com: Next week's promos tease the start of an Apprentice romance. Did you get wind of it while you were there?

Michelle: I did know of a budding romance, and that is another example of... the whole culture of reality TV is the building of alliances behind the scenes, which unfortunately I was very naive to. But when two people become like one person with one thought and one agenda, because they are now a budding romance, and if they are on your team and then your team, let's just say, gets divided into two, you basically have no chance. [Laughs] So yeah, I knew. It became very evident when we were in that last task.


Nicole and who?
