- 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 it was right Kevin got fired , he was arrogant too sure of himself when doing his pitch about environmental stuff, and all the team would not give Sarah a chance. Kevin was a lousy team leader, he talked himself into getting fired! Sarah was treated unfairly and it still was going on after they had come out of the boardroom, it was only Raef who tried to stop this. From babsy boodles

Posted by: marykatmason on Thu May 01 03:41PM | Report abuseOk i know im going off the subject a bit Buttttttt Lucindas dress sence wow ... Ok who would take her serioulsy if she strolled into the boardroom wearing a hat that matched her shoes and her hair slide (Runs quietly out to throw matching stuff out of wardrobe lol) ,,,, She would be more at home in mc d's lol .... But i still didn't like the other bitches picking on her .. Ok back to Sarah the only reason the others are bullying her is because she is quiet and has not got a loud voice to speak up for herself ... So the others are resorting to typical bullying behavior, they should be ashamed ... By the way it took me 5 hrs to write this as i could not make my mind up where the ( ' ) should go lol ....

Unlike any of the others she has always maintained her dignity and never at the expense of any of her fellow contestants. The others are an absolute shower, who in my opinion are completely unemployable.They are so full of themselves it is vomit inducing, yet when push comes to shove they could not deliver on a consistant and sustainable basis. In Lucindas case, she is a nice person and trustworthy with no hint of an overinflated ego. I would have no concerns if she was representing my business. As for the others, I would strongly recommend a reality check.

Posted by: eileen_jack51y on Thu May 01 03:46PM | Report abusegood job!! kevin was too arrogant.
Posted by: rosiefronfelen on Thu May 01 03:46PM | Report abuseIs it me or is it reeeeally difficult that these people were the best from 20 000? Lee's behaviuor was disgusting. Remember Sara was team leader and was trampled by Clare? And again she failed to defend herself...so she's bound to go soon. Have got to love Raef. Not so keen on Alex or Lee anymore. Clare's become a surprise. my money is on her!
Posted by: tendom on Thu May 01 03:51PM | Report abuseI think Jenny should have been fired, more fool Kevin for not taking her back into the board room! I think they were really out of order as far as Sara is concerned, she had a really good idea but nobody listens to her.As far as I'm concerned Jenny has managed to survive twice when she should have gone.
