- 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...

Sir Alan Sugar should watch last nights footage when they came back to the house i think he should fire Lee for the way he treated Sara it was terrible. It bullying
Posted by: surpyb on Thu May 01 11:08AM | Report abuseSorry, but I don't think you can call it Racism just because they were picking on Sara - if Raef was picking on Lucinda would they call that Racist? I think not. Just because an ethnic minority is being bullied, we all jump to the conclusion that that's WHY she's being bullied. Not simply because she is a moron.

Posted by: scoutdc01 on Thu May 01 11:10AM | Report abuseCan't see Sarah winning because of the Asian thing. That is why they ganged up on her. Its like Lord of the Flies in there. The smart ones in terms of intellect, manner are Raef ( although false ), Michael ( although dull ), Lucinda ( aloof but smart ), Sara ( smart but quiet and Asian so wont get the vote ), and the Irish Ice queen who is very strong and would be a good entrepreneur. Claire, the fat one, is a spitting image of David Brent. Cut her hair give her a small goattie and tell her to say vis-a-vis and hey presto Brent's perfect wife. She is false and her only skill is game mentallity. She doesnt do any work but creates division. She is very dangerous in real life. the evil office gossip. The other dark haired one is useless at everything. Lee is scum and should be in prison. Alex is very serepticious and should be fired also. He and claire are there to be destructive. This is television - its not about the best or right person its about Sugar advertising himself as his businesses suffer. He will hire a shocker for dramatic effect. Shame its all a farse. Fat Claire.... eeehhhiiiooouuu
Posted by: amandabyrne1 on Thu May 01 11:10AM | Report abuseI really hope, Sara shines through as a team leader, that would put these bullies right in the place, and please god could Jenny be finally kicked off next week, she is so overbearing!!!
Posted by: heather.king20 on Thu May 01 11:10AM | Report abuseSara's downfall is not being vocal. She does come up with ideas but no one seems to listen. I remember her mentioning some religious theme to the card but she was not heard by her team members who obviously do not respect her opinions as demonstrated by everyone's except the posh boy's behaviour at the end of the programme last night. Her team worn the Bollyhood theme when she was team leader, everyone seems to have forgotten.
Posted by: simpee2000 on Thu May 01 11:10AM | Report abusei'm glad kevin's gone, he should have been fired earlier. I really wished jenny had gone instead as she certainly doesn't listen to anyone else's ideas. I think Sara will shine yet, the bollywood theme that she organised a few weeks ago worked out nicely... and yes, the bullying was inexcusable Lee wasn't even in the same group as Sara! I hope Lee and jenny go next!
Posted by: men_are_lazy_bastards on Thu May 01 11:11AM | Report abuseraef jumped up in my estimation when he stuck up for Sara
Posted by: maddylap on Thu May 01 11:12AM | Report abuseWhat's all this racist crap again? Just becasue somone in Britain who isn't of British origin is shouted at or "bullied", doesn't make it racist!!! Racist is where you deliberately make comments,/taunt/hurt or do bad against someone purely because of the colour of their skin or their race. For any other reason it's not racist. How thick are people, really!!!!
