The question will have two possible answers for the two finalists (the "Question"). Each candidate will be assigned a "letter" (i.e. A and B) which viewers can either send as a text message from their cell phone or vote online. The promotion will run for one week up to and including THE APPRENTICE Series V final episode which will air between 9:30 PM and 11:00 PM ET on June 5th, 2006. Promos will air on NBC during that week to remind viewers to vote.
