IT'S A "JEWEL" OF AN EPISODE ON NBC'S "THE APPRENTICE" MONDAY, MARCH 27, 9-10 PM

The Winning Team Is Rewarded With Diamonds

NEW YORK -- March 23, 2006 -- It's all aboard this week as the teams are given their fifth task -- to produce a 30-second commercial for Norwegian Cruise Lines -- The Norwegian Jewel -- a ship that's about to set sail, on NBC's "The Apprentice," (Monday, March 27, 9-10 p.m. ET/PT). The team with the most effective, captivating, and creative advertisement wins.

Dan volunteers to lead Gold Rush but alienates everyone on his team while taking on the task alone. Meanwhile, Roxanne's leadership clashes with her teammates -- causing rough waters for Synergy. The winning team is rewarded with real jewels and a trip to the Brinks Diamond Vault where they get to take home their own diamonds. While it's smooth sailing for the winners, the losing team will walk the plank and face Trump in the boardroom.

"Gold Rush" -- Bryce, Charmaine, Dan, Lee, Lenny, Leslie, Tarek

"Synergy" -- Allie, Andrea, Michael, Roxanne, Sean, Tammy
