- 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...

Posted by: sarathasiva on Thu May 01 04:23PM | Report abuseI found it very harsh that everyone was GANGING up on poor Sara...it felt like bullies in a school playground and I think Sir Alan who obviously watches the clips should get them all together and tell them that none of them deserve to work for him as they are bullies and should grow up. Fair play to Sara for not fighting back to the low blows she was receiving, shows who is the mature one...even tho she did look like she wanted to break down and cry. Go Sara hope you wipe the floor with them now.
Posted by: victoriadoyle on Thu May 01 04:23PM | Report abusei was disgusted with the way sara was treated last night not only just on the task itself but also going back to the house. The reason possibily why we have not seen her in action is maybe because week after week she is always being shunned. In actual fact i am disgusted on the way the other housemates actually do treat her and it causes me grave concern especially how Lee portrayed himself last night i felt watching the program not only was he verbally abusing her but his physical signals were very threatening also. I am disgusted on this series of the apprentice i normally enjoy the series as it normally has wit humour and entertainment. I hope that you allow Sir Alan to read some of the comments that we all post, As maybe he then can actually take on board on what some of us actual see as outsiders
Posted by: jhowarth964 on Thu May 01 04:24PM | Report abusethedebeers - respect to you mate. I agree 100% - why the hell is this stupid little daytime TV show big news? Are we all so dissatisfied with our lives that we have to watch other peoples - just so that we can criticise them? How sad is that!? Surely the people watching the show are the real saddoes here - not the poor naive tabloid fodder that go on the show! sorry what was your argument back? "grunt" well done - go and read your 'Currant Bun' and forget taht there is a real world out there far more exciting than Sir Alan's boardroom. Jeez.
Posted by: studiostrooz on Thu May 01 04:24PM | Report abuseIs Raef the great grandson of Lawrence of Arabia? He looks like 'im! More power to his elbow for speaking up. And as for Kevin and a few others, it never ceases to amaze me how far people can travel, especially up their own backsides! Full to bursting point of self glorification and sh1t. They need a reality check. A week in Disney Land might do. LOL LOL
Posted by: steamineagle on Thu May 01 04:28PM | Report abuseKevin demonstrated exceptional stupidity in not selecting Jenny in the boardroom and that alone got him fired. Jenny and Michael were demonstrating stupidity and both deserve to get the boot soon. Lee contributes nothing and keeps his head down so how can he criticise Sara. Lucida remains a @#$% goddess in waiting.

Posted by: sapwellfamily on Thu May 01 04:30PM | Report abuseBullying and Degrading for the girl, who give them the right to bully her, jenny should have gone it was her idea. I'd fire the lot of them so much for common sense. Poor Sir Alan Sugar if he takes any of them. Sara did give ideas but they completely blanked her at the beginning but of course miss know it all!! has to get one up she would not work for me, and if I was in the same room as her, her head would have been knocked off now!! SARA GO ON GIRL AND TAKE THEM TO THE CLEANERS.
Posted by: jason.hughes15 on Thu May 01 04:31PM | Report abuseJenny should have been taken into the boardroom and fired, although I thought Kevin as a leader was pathetic.
