“You’re Fired!” Behind The Scenes Of The Apprentice And What It Was Really Like On The Show

Those lucky enough to make it through the auditions had to sign a detailed contract that was, what some consider, oddly specific. One of the conditions for appearing on The Apprentice was agreeing to STD screenings. Under their contracts, all contestants were to be tested for “HIV, Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, HPV, syphilis, chlamydia, gonorrhea, and herpes.”

In addition to STD screenings, contestants had to sign a contract agreeing that they could at any point be filmed “clothed, partially clothed or naked, whether… aware or unaware of such videotaping, filming or recording.” This is a lot odd considering the nature of the show, but drama sells. After all, this is reality television…or is it?
