Mine too

Although I watch the UK version with the apprentice job at the end, and didn't see the celebrity one we had (I think it was just the one).

... but the competition aspect is what makes the show interesting. People do have to work together to a point, or else they risk being eliminated.

And that's a good point. There may be bitching and moaning behind others' backs, but generally each team works hard to win because each individual wants to avoid being taken back to the boardroom. The competition between the teams mirrors to an extent the reality of the business marketplace .. and any internal competition also tends to be a reflection of what often takes place within in many companies sadly, although that may come back to bite those who indulge in it during their time on the show. Alan Sugar has often given not being a team player as his reason for firing someone.
