A great accent really can take you far in life.

British babe Sean Yazbeck was the last man standing Monday night in Hollywood when Donald Trump brought his 15-week job interview to a close and crowned the fifth-season winner of The Apprentice.

For his reward--more work, wouldn't you know!--Sean, who currently lives in Miami, chose a position with the Trump International Hotel & Tower, a 50-story, $375 million condo and retail complex under construction in SoHo. But at least he'll be sitting in New York traffic in style, picking up a Pontiac G6 hardtop convertible in the process, as well.

Sean's final task was to stage a Pontiac-sponsored Barenaked Ladies concert at the Trump Taj Mahal in Atlantic City to benefit the World Wildlife Fund. According to The Donald, the 33-year-old recruitment consultant from London really pulled his team together and made "fewer mistakes" than fellow finalist Lee Bienstock, 22.

Gold Rush executive director Lee was in charge of a celebrity hockey match, also sponsored by Pontiac, at Chelsea Piers to benefit the Leary Firefighters Foundation, which was founded by Denis Leary in 2000. Although the event went off as planned (they always do, you know), Trump was unimpressed with the Brooklyn-born business analyst's choice of teammates. Lee chose former contestants Roxanne, Lenny and the long-ago fired Pepi, whom Trump and right-hand gal Carolyn Kepcher couldn't even remember.

To make matters even more embarrassing, Lys Hopper, the head of the Leary organization, didn't really care for any of the fundraising ideas Lee was throwing out there. They eventually settled on a charity auction.

But, oh, it got better.

Nobody was at the door to greet Jason Priestley, the first hockey-playing celeb to arrive. Then, Lenny pretty much abandoned Jaime Pressly, who was on hand to kick off the auction, in the athletes' locker room which, by that time, was populated by Leary, Stephen Baldwin, John McEnroe and a few other guys who actually couldn't have cared less that someone who looks like Pressly was in the locker room. Fan favorite Michael J. Fox also took the ice for charity that evening.

Meanwhile, Sean chose Andrea, Tarek and his crush, Tammy--"the most beautiful girl in New Jersey," Sean said at one point--to join him at Synergy. Despite a number of hurdles, including Pontiac's concern that its brand wasn't getting enough face time and Andrea's bout with a bloody nose (it turned out to be minor irritation in her nasal lining), Sean pulled it off and managed to keep that whole James Bond thing he's got going intact. Besides, and perhaps most importantly, he remembered to give Trump a proper greeting before the concert when the mogul arrived by helicopter.

Not counting tonight's finale, The Apprentice 5 averaged 9.7 million viewers each week, according to Nielsen Media Research, down from season four's 11 million-strong audience.

In an effort to boost ratings, which hit the skids once the show moved to Mondays, The Apprentice took a page out of the American Idol playbook. For the first time, viewers could vote for their favorite candidate by phone or online, and Trump announced in March that he'd take the audience's opinion into consideration? to an extent.

But viewers had Trump's back anyway, with an undisclosed number of millions voting in Sean's favor. The boss said that he wished he could hire them both, but that just isn't how the game works.

Season five also marked the debut of Trump's favorite prot?g?s, his son Donald Jr. (a dead ringer for his dad) and daughter Ivanka, who filled in for Carolyn and George Ross when they were busy doing Trump's bidding elsewhere.

Season six will be filmed in Los Angeles and return to the original 16-candidate format (there were 18 this time around). The process of whittling down the thousands of applicants who want to get dressed down on national TV is underway.
