It’s been five years since we’ve heard a CEO of Celebrity Apprentice Australia utter the infamous phrase: “You’re fired!” But that’s all about to change, as Lord Alan Sugar takes the head position on our screens, along with 14 Aussie celebrities, all vying for the $100,000 prize, which goes to a charity of the winner’s choice.
You’ll be able to see some of our local superstars take part in challenges, aiming to be the last one standing and if you’re interested in sticking beyond just the premiere, you’re probably wondering exactly how to watch the show, or even what channel it’s on.
Celebrity Apprentice Australia is due to premiere on Sunday, May 23, at 7 pm. It will air on Channel Nine for the entire series, and you can also catch episodes on 9Now. The series will air on Sundays at 7.00 pm and Mondays and Tuesdays at 7:30 pm.
In each episode, we will see the apprentices battle it out in two separate teams, and when one team loses — well, some of those people are up for a firing.
The winning team is safe, but those on the losing team have to watch out (and have to watch their backs). The Project Manager on the losing team (which changes each week) picks the two weakest celebrities from their team to remain in the board room.
Each celeb gets the opportunity to plead their case to the CEO — which, for the hope of interesting television, involves throwing other team members under the bus. Advisors to the CEO, which include Lorna Jane Clarkson (from Lorna Jane) and Janine Allis (from Boost Juice) can also contribute input in the cases, but who the final decision boils down to is Lord Alan Sugar.
Channel Nine has teased the fact that not only is this season dramatic, but it’s also going to make record-breaking history. We’re already on the edge of our seats, and Celebrity Apprentice Australia hasn’t even started.
