- 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...

It's like watching a pack of schoolyard bullies; and that prick who was having a go at her (I think it's Lee) at the end needs his head kicking in, as does Jenny. Get in for Raef though for being the only diplomatic one to defend Sara. She needs to grow some balls though and stand up for herself...

Posted by: karl_cleveley on Thu May 01 04:37PM | Report abuseyeah she was treated badly. Classic bullying but remember this is a competition and like animals they smell weakness and attack it. Sara needs to stand up and not let herslef be pushed out. Is it racism? Not direct but BBC should be careful how they portray this situation otherwise another big brother is going to happen if in the heat of animal discussion something bad should be said.

Posted by: ah.main on Thu May 01 04:43PM | Report abuseI think the idea was @#$%, i mean why send a card made of paper and then tell them to recyle just utter rubbish. Well, as for Jenny the whole idea was hers so why didn't bring her in is beyond me!!! Then Kevin trying to give the job of pitching to Clare 2 hours before hand, i don't blame her for saying no i would have. Then in the last 5 minutes well it was a little harsh but true we have not seen the real Sara yet. She should definatly be team leader next week. Can't wait till next make ure you tune in!!

Posted by: sabriyah on Thu May 01 04:46PM | Report abuseWhy di everyone just pick on Sara? Sure, she is a bit moany, but she did contribute, and, as I seem to recall, at the beginning she suggested religious cards like for Eid which I think was really good but no-one even said anything about her idea. I personally think some of the others are a bit racist, mostly Claire, Jenny and Kevin. Everyone just followed Jenny's lead, firing Sara so they could save themslves. I had always thought Lee was nice and fair but suddenly he turns on Sara and says he would fire her if she didn't contribute! Excuse me, but what did he know, he had just heard it from someone else in the house. (Probably Jenny's version). At leat Raef told everyone to leave Sarah alone. Good for him! Kevin is so arrogant, just wanted to do everything himself! And is it just me, or is Michael just really annoying?
Posted by: alexandragazi on Thu May 01 04:46PM | Report abuseSara actually came up with a good idea for Eid cards which could be a good seller but nobody would listen to her as their ignorance of other cultures meant they were unaware of the potential. The others in the team all fell on the 'Save the Earth' theme as they had heard something about that, yet nobody thought it through that people who want to save the Earth naturally don't want to waste resources.
Posted by: melroccan on Thu May 01 04:47PM | Report abuseWatching a group of ugly self-opinionated no-hopers without a s@#$% of commensense between them turn on each other makes for cringe worthy tv. Maybe Sir Alan should be sacked
Posted by: chris.abell11 on Thu May 01 04:49PM | Report abuseI was totally disgusted by the cowardly attack on Sara by the other contestants, Jenny put it on Sara because she knew she has messed up big time, they was all complaining that Sara had not contributed to the task, but nobody seemed to notice Lee, again he did not step up to the plate, he spent the whole task floating around in the background, and he had the front to argue with Raef about who did what, well done Raef for standing up to the bullies, and backstabbers, God help Sir Alan in the task of trying to get anyone decent out of this bunch of wannabees, Lucinda, Raef, or Sara to win the rest are jokers . . . . .
