- Video: Watch Kevin's best bits
Matt Lucas-alike Kevin became the sixth candidate to be fired in last night's Apprentice. Was Kevin the right person to go?
Well, of the three candidates he took back into the boardroom - yes. He refused to listen to the other team members suggesting that they would be better to do the sales presentation and as a result his pitches were disasters.
Kevin made a catastrophic mistake in not taking Jenny back into the boardroom. Jenny should have been in there and should have been fired for her appalling 'save the earth' week idea - let's all save the planet by cutting down lots of trees to send cards to each other. Clever.
So, did the other candidates agree with Sir Alan's decision? Absolutely not. The last five minutes of the programme when the contestants return to the house are fast becoming the best in the whole show. This week saw everyone turn on Sara and tell her to her face that she deserved to be fired.
We've praised Lee in previous weeks but his behaviour last night was disgraceful as he shouted at Sara that next time if she doesn't contribute he will not accept it and will be taking her into the boardroom with him. Annoyingly Sara failed to defend herself - though possibly she was simply shocked after finding herself under attack from all sides.
Does Sara still deserve to be in the running? Well, it's difficult to tell because we haven't really seen her in action yet. Does this mean that she doesn't contribute or simply that she is not getting much screentime? We don't know. Hopefully she will get to be team leader next week and then we will finally see what she's made of.
The other memorable moment last night was Michael's triumphant - and very inappropriate - football yob yell in the boardroom. We thought poor Margaret was going to have a heart attack. Michael's team had a very narrow victory - mainly because the other team's idea was so bad. Earlier in the task he had spent several hours trying to work out where to put an apostrophe. Michael tried to find the answer by calling up the editor of the Telegraph and the British Library. Had he thought about using a dictionary? We know where we would suggest he put the apostrophe...
What did you think of last night's show? Do you think Sara was treated unfairly? Was Kevin the right person to go? Let us know what you think...

Yes, Sara was treated shockingly..no wonder she went quiet in the house...the other contestants should be ashamed of themselves, Sara may not be the loudest but she does have some great business ideas!

Posted by: thevivmum on Thu May 01 10:56AM | Report abuseI thought it was disgusting how they all attacked Sara. That's real bullying and not nice to see. Well done to Raef for sticking up for her. The thing that makes me laugh is how great they all think they are, when we watch them to see who is the most revolting. Currently it's Jenny, although Glad Kevin has gone, as he was a close second.

Posted by: woburn1978 on Thu May 01 10:57AM | Report abuseI think that the idea of the contradictory 'save the planet' by making cards illustrates if not confirms that the producers of The Apprentice select the most inept candidates to make amusing television.
Posted by: sandi.small on Thu May 01 10:57AM | Report abuseSir Alan was right to fire Kevin, He should have gone weeks ago!!!!!
Posted by: iloveliverpool1900 on Thu May 01 10:57AM | Report abuseIt reminded me of Big Brother, subtle racism has raised its head once again.
Posted by: landlord.rooms on Thu May 01 10:58AM | Report abusePoor Sara! At least Raef stuck up for her. they are all nasty in this year's Apprentice. So glad i didn't attend the interview for it - i think i would've punched their lights out! Sara to win and shut all of them up! what a bunch of Racists! Kevin was an utter prat yet they pick on the quiet brown skinned one. Fight all the way Sara!!!
