[edit] About the theme song...

If I remember correctly, the O'Jays song has been used since Season 1. So, I don't see why the stuff in the article says that the O'Jays song has been used since Season 2. 24.7.217.221 00:28, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

Probably likely that they assumed the theme on the S1 DVD release (which is NOT the O'Jays version) was the one actually used on air. --Masem 00:37, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

Well, what theme IS on the S1 DVD release? And, from what I've seen on YouTube, the theme used for the first season was the same song ("For The Love Of Money" by The O'Jays) used throughout the series, but it was a different edit than that from S2 & beyond. 24.7.217.221 01:24, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

In fact, here's a link to a vid of the first season intro for "The Apprentice": THE APPRENTICE - SEASON 1 INTRO, courtesy of YouTube. 24.7.217.221 19:40, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Rowntree.JPG

Image:Rowntree.JPG is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. BetacommandBot 16:33, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Removed Criticism section

I've removed the Criticism section because it is almost completely unsourced with regard to that material as "criticism". The first paragraph, for example, talks about the product placement in the series. But the source provided for it, while mentioning the product placement at length, never once talks about it as a point of criticism. The same paragraph also mentions that the series is a source of publicity for Trump and the Trump organization, that its portrayal of Trump is flattering, and that the boardroom showdowns typically degenerate into finger pointing and name-calling, none of which are attributed to any critic in the aforementioned source. They are POV (especially the bit about the flattering portrayal), likely that of the editor who added it. The second paragraph talks about the jobs given to the winners, but the source supports none of this, as there is no mention of this at that website. Either that page changed without changing the url, or the user who added it made a mistake. The third passage asserts that a class action age discrimination lawsuit was filed against the show, but offers no source whatsoever for this. The last passage is the only one with a source that actually supports what the passage says, but it's hardly a major source a criticism, and hardly noteworthy. Sir Alan Sugar (has any American heard of this guy?) offered merely a mild creative criticism regarding the show changing things from one season to the next, which is hardly grounds for a entire section. So I removed the entire section. Nightscream (talk) 03:25, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
