The Apprentice: LA premieres on Sunday, and we couldn't be more excited. It's been over six months since we saw Donald Trump berate, belittle, and destroy a person that wasn't Rosie O'Donnell, and frankly, that's entirely too long for us to wait. Nevertheless, The Donald is back with Ivanka in tow. We can't say we're happy with the disappearance of Carolyn and George, and the whole tents twist seems a bit, uh, forced and dumb, but hey, as long as Trump continues to do what he does best (ie. bellowing questionable facts very loudly), then we'll be content.
In an effort to get everyone excited for The Apprentice (and of course, our coverage here), we've decided to compile our favorite Apprentice screencaps. Enjoy.
20. The Finger Gun
The first time we saw the finger gun, we were so captivated, we had to create an animated gif to portray its wonder. Trump may be most famous for the cobra strike, but it's the finger gun that's become his staple.
19. Tana the Clown
How can one of the goofiest contestants on The Apprentice get any goofier? By dressing up like a clown. It's like a Suzanne Somers explosion.
18. Sean
God, Sean sucks. We still can't believe he won season five. This photo pretty much captures everything that we hated about him.
17. Chris.
He loves to rock and that is a FFFFACT!!!!!
16. Roxanne
She just looks funny.
15. Sexy Carolyn!
Carolyn Kepcher? In a low-cut top? Grrrrowl!
14. The Massacre of '05!
We were just as surprised as these four chumps when The Donald fired them all in one fell swoop. The three men, at least, were favorites to go far in the competition. Oh well. They suck.
13. Erin and her Gumby sweater.
The hair was bad enough, but then the nonstop parade of crazy tops? It all culminated in this green disaster that looked so much like a flattened Gumby we had to add the face.
12. Maria Boren
One of our favorite Apprentice characters of all time, Maria was nothing less than transfixing. We especially loved her appearance on the second season finale when she draped herself in shiny, red fabric and then danced whimsically to the tunes of The O'Jays. Maria, you are indomitable!
11. George eats a cookie.
Nothing personifies our favorite reality grandpa like this shot of George snacking on a delightful cookie. Just like the old days at the soda jerk...
10. Capelet on a dog!
During the season two fashion show episode, capelets suddenly became all the rage, despite how ugly and dumb they looked. As you can imagine, it was only a matter of time before we envisioned what one of these bad boys looked like on a dog.
9. Chris falls apart.
The look of frustration and pent up rage on Chris's face is fairly priceless. The jail bars were added later when he wound up in the slammer on some drunken assault charges. We lost the original, sans bar screencap, but I think this one's better anyway.
8. The classic Trump bellow.
Rosie should have realized she could never out talk a mouth this big...
7. The classic Melania silence.
Melania's spectral presence is nothing but mesmerizing. The yin to Donald's yang.
6. Carolyn goes ape.
Oh how we lived for the days when The Ice Queen would slay hopeful supplicants with the sharp lash of her tongue.
5. Maria loses it.
In her final Boardroom, Maria transformed into a She-Dragon like none other. The Wrath of Boren was not to be taken lightly!
4. Toral introduces us to PASSION!!!
It's damn near impossible to beat this Toral photo. This was the first time we took notice of her, thanks to a rigid yet classic Lamborghini presentation where she and her teammates personified various emotions, including "Prestige," "Luxury," and, of course, "PASSION!"
3. Chris, always and forever.
If homicidal rage is wrong, I don't want to be right!
2. Trump dances.
It only lasted a scant few seconds, but Trump's fancy footwork to the tune of an Arby's jingle was probably one of his most amazing moments ever.
1. PASSION!!!
Toral may have introduced PASSION!!! to us in the Lamborghini presentation, but it wasn't until she reached the Boardroom that she proved just how PASSIONATE she was. A classic screenshot of a classic woman.What did you think of the list? Did we leave any out? Be sure to browse the Apprentice archives...

Does anyone know who Carolyn is working for now? And why was she fired by Donald Trump?

HAHA. I love #5 and #1. Maria and Toral were the best people ever on The Apprentice (save Rebecca. She kicked ASS). Great job man.

I never realized this, but Chris looks almost exactly the same as my high school math teacher, just that the teacher is a bit older. And they have the same name. Weird...
