Answer: The Apprentice

In the third season of "The Apprentice" Donald Trump divided the contestants into two teams based upon whether they had completed their college degree "Book Smarts" or whether that hadn't "Street Smarts".

The finale pitted the one remaining member of each category against each other in a final challenge. Kendra Todd (Book Smarts) went on to win the title of "The Apprentice".

Answer: Survivor

The 13th season of "Survivor", which was filmed in the Cook Islands, generated controversy before the season even aired when it was revealed that the contestants were divided by race. The four tribes were Rarotonga (Caucasian); Puka Puka (Asian American); Aitutaki (Hispanic); and Manihiki (African American).

During the third episode, the teams were shuffled and two new teams emerged.

Answer: Top Chef

"Hell's Kitchen" and "The Apprentice: Martha Stewart" provide for contestants to nominate others for elimination at the direction of the host/hostess. However, neither Gordon Ramsey nor Martha Stewart have felt obliged to actually eliminate one of the nominated contestants in all cases. Each have shown the willingness to seek out the worst performer on a task even if the person was not nominated.

"Big Brother" allows for the Head of Household to nominate houseguests for elimination based on the votes of the remaining houseguests.

Though all of the shows have international hosts or judges, Phil Keoghan, the host of "The Amazing Race", was born in New Zealand.

Simon Cowell and Piers Morgan, judges on "American Idol" and "America's Got Talent" respectively, are both from East Sussex, England.

Gordon Ramsey of "Hell's Kitchen" is from Scotland.

Answer: Boot Camp

"Popstars" first season produced the group Eden's Crush, which enjoyed some initial success on the music charts. This was not the case with Scene 23, the group created during the second season - they disbanded shortly after the airing of the second season, and the show was not renewed for a third season.

"Paradise Hotel" returned to the air for a second season in 2008 - almost 5 years following the broadcast of its first season.

Answer: So You Think You Can Dance

"Pirate Master" aired on CBS in the summer of 2007. It was such a ratings failure that only 8 of the 14 episodes for the season were even aired. Fans who wished to see how the series concluded could watch another of the remaining 6 episodes each week online.

"Forever Eden" is another show which did not manage to get enough ratings to warrant a broadcast of the entire first season. Only 7 of the original 25 episodes were aired in the spring of 2004.

"The Apprentice: Martha Stewart" was aired by NBC in the Autumn of 2005. Stewart and NBC claim that the show was initially planned as a one-season endeavor, and the poor ratings certainly solidified that position.
