- 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...

I think it was disgraceful and very upsetting to watch as it was clear bullying - I do wish she had spoken up for herself - but well done to Raef for doing so! I am glad someone did! I think Jenny should go next!!!!
Posted by: katie.connors.t21 on Thu May 01 11:37AM | Report abuseIt wasn't fair how they all ganged up against poor Sara. I thought Kevin was an arrogant, egocentric oink who deserved to be fired. He was Team Leader and anything goes wrong he should take d blame. He was digging a hole for Sara but he fell headlong into it. Kevin should learn to take ownership when things go wrong, and not point fingers at other people.

Posted by: johnniecanbefound on Thu May 01 11:38AM | Report abuseKevin is a pompous person, but was meek like on the BBc2 your fired show. Sara has not been screened at all, and it was unforgiveable for treatment she received
Posted by: vjpalmer2001 on Thu May 01 11:38AM | Report abuseDefinately ineptitude, racism and even subtle heterosexism. Where were the card ideas for 'coming out', 'civil partnerships', 'gay pride' etc. Are these really the most promising entrepreneurs Britain has to offer?
Posted by: pfknz on Thu May 01 11:38AM | Report abuseAll the candidates are pretentious dingbats whom I would not trust to run a bath never mind a Company. The cream of Britains young business brain? Give me bl**dy strength!
Posted by: edweetman on Thu May 01 11:38AM | Report abuseJenny should have gone. Sara needs to be more assertive as she had a good idea of different religious festivals which never got mentioned after it was nastily put down by Jenny. I don't like the bullying going on as Jennifer and Helene gang up un Lucinda and the behaviour of the men attacking Sara was disgusting. Raef came out as a very caring, brave individual with a good sense of what is and is not acceptable behaviour. I think he will now be the winner even though I didn't like his superior attitude at the start.
Posted by: roworths on Thu May 01 11:39AM | Report abuseRacist Bullies, It looked disgusting that they were ganging up on her and i think it was pityful of the BBC to allow that to be shown. And as for the idiot below who say's get a life, He is obviously the type of racist bully that we are discussing. They should all be kicked off the show.

Posted by: sum4eva on Thu May 01 11:39AM | Report abuseI do think Sara was treated unfairly. It was a blatent example of boardroom bullying. How could poor Sara defend herself with so much viciousness going on.She has shown restraint and resiliance which I hope will be her strength.The poor girl was speaking up and had some valid points far better than the ones proposed and was absolutly right no-one did listen they spoke above her and acted as if she was not in the room just like BB Sir Allan should deal with this to maintain the shows integrity to stop it going down the same trashy route as BB.
