Was Rebecca Jarvis on the Apprentice?
Jarvis was a contestant on The Apprentice season four and ended up as the runners-up. During an interview with The Chicago Maroon she; “I was 23 years old and on a lark I went to the audition for The Apprentice at NBC. In the back of my mind I really didn’t see it as something I would ultimately do. Then after a couple rounds of auditioning I ended up getting on the show and had actually a lot of really serious conversations with my parents at the time about whether or not I should do it… When you go on reality TV, it’s up to the producers on reality TV who you are. You can control who you are to some extent because you are who you are, but the editing and the decisions that are made to make something dramatic can change… I ultimately decided to do it.”
