'The Apprentice: ONE Championship Edition' Sends Two Candidates Home   In Action-Packed Second Episode

Martial arts legends Georges St-Pierre and Renzo Gracie appeared in the episode and participated in a difficult physical task with the candidates. Catcha Group Co-Founder and Group CEO Patrick Grove later joined ONE Championship Chairman and CEO Chatri Sityodtong and Advisor Niharika Singh in the boardroom.

Physical Challenge: Fort Siloso Skywalk on Sentosa Island

For the physical challenge, candidates had to rappel down an 11-story structure and quickly climb back up via rope ladder. The team with the shortest combined time from all candidates would earn a victory celebration at Bar Square and receive an advantage in the next business challenge.

St-Pierre and Gracie surprised the cast by performing the task first, and Task Captain Dom Lau briefed the group shortly afterward.

Candidates from both teams experienced difficulty rappelling down the skywalk and struggled to maneuver their way up the dangling ladder. Sho struggled with his fear of heights but ultimately willed himself through the challenge.

Despite Sho's tough time, his teammates pulled through, and Team Valor captured the victory behind a strong group effort.

Business Challenge: Seven-Day Social Media Campaign

Teams had to create an engaging seven-day social media campaign, choosing between influencers Yumika Hoskin and Justin Bratton to promote Andaz Singapore’s designer hotel experience. Because Team Valor won the physical challenge, the group had first pick.

With Louie as Project Manager for Team Valor, the unit mostly worked together in harmony while preventing Clinton from disrupting the productivity. Meanwhile, Eugene’s inexperience as a leader for Team Conquest resulted in a disorganized mess.

Both teams delivered solid presentations, but it quickly became clear which side had created the more robust campaign.

The Pitches

With Chatri, Niharika, and Patrick examining every aspect of both marketing plans, the atmosphere was intense.

Sho, Kexin, and Monica led the presentation for Team Valor, impressing Chatri by combining analytics with creative ideas. However, Patrick pointed out the lack of a clear seven-day plan, which the challenge required.

In contrast, Niraj and Paulina presented a clear plan for Team Conquest, but the campaign was bland and unoriginal. Niharika criticized Alvin for not contributing to his team enough and Roman for his PowerPoint design flaws.

With vastly different approaches, both teams headed to the boardroom.

The Boardroom: Double-Elimination

Team Valor once again emerged victorious in the business challenge. Chatri credited the win to a superior concept and praised Monica’s ability to build brand identity. Conversely, Chatri sent Alvin, Eugene, and Roman from Team Conquest to the chopping block.

Eugene delivered a passionate speech about changing his life and the inspiration he took from Chatri’s own rags-to-riches life story, which moved the ONE CEO.

That kept Eugene on the show, but Roman’s passiveness and Alvin's lack of contribution saw both of them eliminated from the competition.
