Apprentice Precap: Pandora's Box

Announcer: Next Thursday, bring your hardhat, The Apprentice is Under Construction.

Tana and Stephanie are shown wearing hardhats (subtext: no Omarosas this season)

Craig hammers away, not that he has anything to prove about being a hard worker or good at hammering. He probably just likes to hammer.

Erin, clapping, singsongs: Let's cut wood!

Craig working on something else.

Alex holding wood as some dude hammers it.

Craig shaking some guy's hand.

Angie standing, smiling in the work area. Stephanie is standing several feet behind her, as is Chris who looks at his watch. Get to work, lollygaggers!

Announcer: A task that gives the teams a chance to bring families together.

A small boy is shown smiling. Some candidate is "hangin'" with him, as Tana might say.

Tana, with a young girl: One, two ... (Tana is holding the girl's hands out, somehow getting the child to do her work for her under the weak guise of a counting game. Obviously a child labour scandal lies ahead)

A small boy, clapping: Yeah!

Announcer: And a reward that's out of this world.

Man's voice: You are cleared for launch.

They show the tail of a plane as it taxies along. It looks an awful lot like G-FORCE ONE

G-FORCE ONE is a modified Boeing 727-200 cargo aircraft this company rents out "to make the excitement and adventure of space accessible to the public in a safe, fun and cost-effective fashion." Richard Branson sent contestants into a zero gravity plane on his show as part of a challenge. Not everyone enjoys a vacation from gravity; one contestant became hysterical and insisted that the flight be aborted. Bad trip.

Announcer: And just when you thought you were safe in the boardroom.

Carolyn: That was a dumb statement.

Announcer/On Screen: Who would dare?

Trump, looking to his right: You're a real wiseguy, you know that?

Announcer/On Screen: Sass the Donald (Don't get me started on where they put the question mark in that sentence -- as in after "dare")

Trump, looking straight ahead: You're fired.

Announcer: NBC, next Thursday, after "Joey."

The Apprentice All New Next Thursday 8:30

(Does the show still count as all-new if they use the same Zero Gravity flight Rebel Billionaire already used?)
