They're the motley crew Channel Nine has recruited for its fourth series of Celebrity Apprentice.
Mel Greig, the former 2dayFM presenter who was embroiled in the royal prank phone call scandal, the now loved up "Bachelor" Blake Garvey and the wife of controversial businessman Geoffrey Edelsten will be joined by a new advisor, Kerri-Anne Kennerley, who returns to Nine years after she left the network in a blaze of glory.
Spray tan queen and founder of ModelCo cosmetics founder Shelley Barrett will also join KAK and boss man Mark Bouris in the boardroom.
Real Housewives of Melbourne star, professional eyeroller and barrister Gina Liano, singer/model/actor/radio presenter Sophie Monk and former Home & Away star Esther Anderson were also on set when filming began on Monday.
Like series past, there will be at least one beauty queen, 2015's will be Miss Universe Australia Tegan Martin.
The token jock will be NRL star Matt Cooper. However, perhaps a more apt title would be "reality show enthusiast" considering only a nanosecond ago he was a Dancing With The Stars contestant on a rival network.
Much like DWTS, with husband and wife competitors Jude and Lynette Bolton, Nine have also cast a married couple in Grecko and her new husband, Geoffrey Edelsten.
Grecko's skill, according to Nine, is "Mrs Edelsten", while Edelsten is referred to as an "Aussie tycoon".
Given Edelsten's business practices have been a little unorthodox and are now at the centre of numerous court cases around the world, viewers, and maybe even the Federal Court and his creditors, will be interested to see how the 72-year-old intends to fundraise considering he filed for bankruptcy in the US last year.
