- 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: cat29taylor on Thu Apr 24 12:48PM | Report abuseYaaay *shouts* go Lucinda! I was sooo happy to finally see her come into her own, i'm fed up of people bullying her and suggesting that she's lazy and useless. Let's just reflect on who was out drinking cider and not organising appointments for their team!! I was so shocked when Claires team won. It was the worst organised, Lucinda had everything sorted everyone knew what they were doing and were happy in their jobs, not bitched at or bullied. She made all the targets, taste test, appts I think they were very unlucky. I know who i'd rather work for as a boss I think her idea of havin fun in ur work is crucial u'll get the best outt ur staff that way. What really bugs me is that Jen didn't get the boot *sulks*- she pretended that she didn't make a fuss about being swopped in the sales team but we know what really happened. I can't tell you the satisfaction I got when whinging Alex got pulled up last week for saying 'I didn't step back from the 2nd in command job' lol. I was sorry to see Lindi go, she stood up for Lucinda early on and told the PM to stop bullying her in the laundry task I was proud of her for that. Lovin this series, I hope the others treat Lucinda with more respect now.

Posted by: magdav40 on Thu Apr 24 12:50PM | Report abuseYes Jennifer should have been sacked as she made the biggest error offering exclusivity.
Posted by: skytiger_98 on Thu Apr 24 12:50PM | Report abuseIT JUST MAKES ME LAUGH HOW THESE PEOPLE ARE JUST FULL OF THEIR OWN IMPORTANCE.MOST ARE JUST SALES PEOPLE.I,D HATE TO GET UP EVERY MORNING AND THINK I'D GOT TO GROVEL TO SOMEONE JUST SO THEY BUY WHAT I'M SELLING, JUST TO MAKE A LIVING.GET SOME SKILLS INSTEAD OF AN OVER INFLATED EGO.
Posted by: philatengland on Thu Apr 24 12:50PM | Report abuseJennifer should most certainly have been fired but,hopefully her turn will come soon.Don't forget that the longer they stay in the show the greater their chances of winning and so the pain of being fired later on in the series will be all the greater!!!!
