The Apprentice 2 Plot
This season featured 18 candidates, whereas the first season only had 16. Three new twists were introduced to The Apprentice this season. First, each team was unexpectedly forced at the season's outset to make a 1-for-1 player swap, resulting in a male on the female team (Bradford), and a female on the male team (Pamela). The traded members then became the project managers for the first task. Second, it was revealed that a project manager for the winning team would be immune from being fired the following week.
The Apprentice The Apprentice 2 aired on September 9th, 2004.
