Game[change | change source]

For twelve weeks, the contestants are split into two teams and must complete business-related tasks. At the end of each task, Sugar and his two assistants, Karren Brady and Claude Littner, "fire" a person from the losing team. Eventually, only one contestant remains and they win the investment. In the first few years of the show, the prize was a job at one of Sugar's companies. In season 7, they changed the prize to a business investment.
