NBC needs some sort of gimmick to keep The Apprentice afloat, so it's heading to LA for season 6 (has it really been on that long?). Traditionally, the reality series has been shot in and around Donald Trump's stomping grounds, Manhattan. NBC says the move to the west coast gives The Donald the opportunity to show off his other business ventures, with sunshine as his backdrop. I wonder if any of this will include the movie industry? It has to, since it's in LA, right? Universal does own NBC so I can imagine all sorts of trips to movie sets because if there's one thing The Apprentice isn't short on, it's product placement.The Apprentice headed for LA

Actually, it hasn't been on that long, yet. Season FIVE starts this Spring after the Olympics and Season SIX, shot in Cali, I would assume is for next fall.
Oh yeah, you're fired.

Except for the first season, they've been short on contestants with a sense of creativity too. So yeah, going to Hollywood should fix that ;)

Nope, won't do it for me. Cali is no big deal, NY is where it's at for the business world...unless this is movie star Apprentice. Dumb move if you ask me.

LA must have some big business to promote and Trump has probably enough of luxury over there to show off to the winners. The real problem is that whole concept is getting worn out, it is not all Martha's fault, even if her show is bad. The show will go on for a long time, Trump will never fire himself.

They should have done it here in Phoenix where everyone is pissed off about the building. Oh that would have been great with the "Take it Downtown" signs. They could make it so that their job is to make it a downtown.

They should have it cast in Beverly Hills.
So, the reward can be shopping on Rodeo!
Yea!
