New York, NY -- Donald Trump thinks the second season of "The Apprentice" will top the first, but producer Mark Burnett admits the series highlight occurs in the show's first episode.

One of the 18 candidates is named Ivana and Burnett admits he felt a delicious suspense waiting to introduce her to Trump because that's also the name of the mogul's first wife.

Burnett admits he "...couldn't wait to see Donald's face" and says Trump's reaction trumped anything he's seen in the show. As he puts it, "It's a great moment. He did a double take and he couldn't help but editorialize."

Trump admits his initial reaction towards Ivana the apprentice was "...a little surprised" but promises not to let the name affect his opinion of her ability.

"The Apprentice" begins its second season on Sept. 9.
