 The format of "The Celebrity Apprentice" follows that of the original "The Apprentice", outside of housing arrangements; there is no communal living space, and celebrities are not required to live in the city during filming, allowing them to maintain their own appearance schedule which may cause them to miss out on tasks at times.The two teams are given separate suites near the boardroom which they can use for planning and other activities related to the tasks.Additionally, the celebrities as contestants are not vying for a job, but instead each has selected a charity that they are playing for.
