The Ice Cream Queen Cometh...

The Apprentice's Jennifer Maguire

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?

    Good to see Lucinda go she was full of sh*t and an ugly dog. However Jennifer is hot and I would employ her like a flash. I am sure we could come to an arrangement to speed up her Job prospects. If Sir Alan has got anything about him he would be knocking the back out of this one.

    It is no wonder that this country is now the nastiest, greediest,and selfish back biting self seeking country in the world. by showing programmes like this and making heroes out of people like Suger only makes it worse.Incidently he might like! to know what we Rumbelows managers called his company when our idiot buyers stocked his "hi.fi" units, AMSCRAP.

    I think we are all forgetting who the real bitch is. Claire from the other team, she was very lucky to have won that task last night. She should go next week.

    Jennifer will go - bot no sooner than Lucinda. In this task she proved one thing - she is a waste of space. Other than a brief pep talk at the beginning and getting stuck into the mechanics of the task from a PM perspective she did nothing. Her days are numbered I can assure you.. the Asian lad gets my vote.... cant think of his name. I am quite sure he will be in the final three.....
