Plot Synopsis

A group of celebrities takes on Arnold Schwarzenegger (Season 8) or Donald Trump (Seasons 1-7) in the boardroom to win $250,000 for their selected charities. The group of celebrities compete in business-driven tasks around Los Angeles (Season 8) or New York City (Seasons 1-7) using their fame, rolodexes and their business acumen to win weekly tasks, while ultimately battling with each other to stay out of the boardroom and avoid hearing those dreaded words: "You're Fired!" They'll be subjected to long hours, grueling mental challenges, personality clashes and intense scrutiny -- all without the help of their regular support system of agents, managers and personal assistants. Ultimately, they will face the judgment of the host and his advisers in the boardroom.

In the season ender, "I Don't Have Time for Anyone's Ego Except My Own," the final task from Carnival Corporation is well underway and the stakes have never been higher.

Exciting music performances from legendary artists and special guests such as Caitlyn Jenner add to the fun of their events as the final two also compete to raise the most money in ticket sales and donations for their respective charities.
