- 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?

I wonder if anyone has taken here up the OXO tower?
Posted by: bushmaster20002003 on Thu Apr 24 01:24PM | Report abuseWhy are people who clearly don't like The Apprentice even bothering to comment on here? Get lost. Lucinda did brilliantly last night and it was refreshing to see a female candidate who, for the first time in this show's history, hasn't needed to adopt malice, @#$%iness, bullying or egotism in order to achieve success. It's also the first time I've seen Margaret lend anyone so much support. I think Lindi was absolutely out of her depth here but I would have liked to have seen Jennifer fired. Helene and Claire are both vile and need tuition in the application of make-up. Jenny is plain annoying and Alex is a real himbo. Lee and Michael are very funny and I hope they do well. I'm neutral about Sara, annoyingly she's very non-plussing. Raef is good and Kevin is very boy-next-door, I don't think he'll go much further. Jennifer is sickeningly egotistical and two-faced, hope she gets fired soon. As for a winner, Lucinda's only drawback is she's a bit wishy-washy although very nice, I'd like to see her, Michael, Raef or Lee win.

Posted by: moaklemark on Thu Apr 24 01:26PM | Report abuseLucinda empowered people yesterday and they let her down. Most of the people are quick to criticise but have no alternative or solution. best do-ers are not always the best managers. Lucinda would seem to have a talent albeit a bit raw but at least there is something to build upon with her unlike the the other who seem hell bent on destroying their collegues rather than being creative and supportive. That is how they will get noticed for all the RIGHT reasons.

No, I guess not...... this programme is likely way above your intellect levels anyway.... get a life.
