CANDIDATES PREPARE FOR THE FINAL APPROACH ON NBC'S "THE APPRENTICE: MARTHA STEWART" WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 7, 9-10 PM ET/PT

NEW YORK - December 5, 2005 - One candidate celebrates the last group task with too many drinks on the job while the other team suffers through a candidate- turned- Hollywood-director on NBC's "The Apprentice: Martha Stewart" (December 7, 9-10 pm ET). With only three weeks remaining, the end is in sight, but the flight is far from over as one team tries to prove their worth in the final stretch.

Martha Stewart delivers this week's task-to create an original in-flight video to promote Song's New York to Los Angeles route. Each team will present to a packed plane of frequent fliers and the team with the best viewer survey score wins. The winners are hot to trot when their reward is horseback riding with Martha. The losing team faces a bumpy landing as their flight leads them into the conference room.

"MATCHSTICK" (Creatives): Ryan, Marcela

"PRIMARIUS" (Corporate): Bethenny, Jim, Dawna
