- Video: Watch the moment Lindi is fired
Lindi may have been the one who got the boot after the ice-cream marketing task but last night it was all about Jennifer.
Yes, we have a new villain in our midst as Jennifer steps forward to stake her claim as The Apprentice's resident bitch.
We'd always suspected that the self-proclaimed 'best salesperson in Europe' was a nasty piece of work - let's be honest, the constant scowling and eye-rolling was a bit of a giveaway and last night she confirmed our suspicions.
When Jennifer found herself in the firing line, alongside Lindi and Lucinda, she wasted no time in turning on closest pal Lindi in an effort to save her own neck.
It worked as Lindi became the latest hopeful to get the sack. It certainly wasn't undeserved though because, as head of the sales team, half of the appointments Lindi had set up were with businesses that already made their own ice-cream (next week they try to sell ice to the eskimos?).
There was a definite chill in the house when Jennifer returned and quizzed the others about whether they thought she was an ice queen. That'll be a yes then! Annoyingly the cameras then cut away - we want to know what happened next! Maybe they should film the candidates 24 hours around the clock next year and show the best bits from the house on BBC3?
This is certainly bound to stir things up over the coming weeks. In particular, Jennifer now thinks Helene has been talking about her - we'd love to see this pair square up to each other. Let's hope they are in the same teams next week.
The other big story of the week was Lucinda's emergence as a potentional dark horse to win the series. We all love an underdog and Lucinda has certainly tugged at our heartstrings over the past few weeks as we've seen her bullied by the other members of her team.
Last night, as team-leader, she gained the support of her team (apart from Jennifer of course) and even Sir Alan's aide Margaret was full of support for her. Also, call us shallow, but her kooky fashion sense also makes her the best dressed candidate for the job. Lucinda to win!
Interestingly, last week's villain Claire took Sir Alan's advice on board and kept her head down and got on with the task as team leader. Was she really a great team leader or was she just lucky? We're not convinced. Whiney Alex continued to play the blame game - let's hope he gets another shot at being in charge soon to see how he copes.
What did you think of last night's show? Should Jennifer have been sacked? Who do you think will win the series?

Posted by: viveck1980 on Thu Apr 24 12:22PM | Report abuseLucinda to win! Alex is a moaning div. In fact, the only decent person in this whole series is Lucinda, as at least she's nice to others!
Posted by: estherberesford on Thu Apr 24 12:25PM | Report abuseI was so pleased to see Lucinda do well last night - it is so refreshing to see someone who isn't a '@#$%' and doesn't resort to bullying tactics to get her way. She is definately the type of manager who produces the best from her team.
Posted by: loupettifer on Thu Apr 24 12:26PM | Report abuseWho gives a @#$% really? Its just a bunch of self-obsessed @#$%s with overblown opinions of their own self-worth. Sod em all - this is a waste of tv air time; Alan Sugar should find something more constructive to do with his time.
Posted by: juliabray on Thu Apr 24 12:28PM | Report abuseI think Sir Allen should have fired Jen and Lindi. They both sucked.
Posted by: o.maruf on Thu Apr 24 12:29PM | Report abuseThe best in Europe? The best at making completely useless sales calls and talking rusbbish! Jennifer offered exclusivity without even getting a substantial return. It is amazing that these people have gotten to where they are now without the basic business skills that entry level staff are supposed to display!
Posted by: dominicpattersonuk on Thu Apr 24 12:30PM | Report abuseI feel lucindas team were far more organised and deserved to win the task. In the matter of the firing Jennifer should have been sacked after all of the exclusivity nonsense.
Posted by: shonamcl_kingswood on Thu Apr 24 12:31PM | Report abuseWas so gutted that Claires team won. I just want her to get fired!!! A Lucinda/Raef final would be quite fun :)
