- 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 Sara was shouted down. She did make suggestions but nobody listened so she gave up. My daughter suggested a card to send your mother on your birthday. After all she did all the hard bit bringing you into the world. A card expressing your appreciation would mean such a lot to mums
Posted by: oakley373 on Thu May 01 04:53PM | Report abuseI think it was utter madness sending a card yet chopping down trees to make them. Then Kevin what an utter mess he should of told Jenny it was a pile of s***t! Then all ganging up on Sara i think its unfair we have never seen her real side and hope for her sake if she is team leader she wins

Posted by: rhys.john1 on Thu May 01 04:57PM | Report abuseSara was project leader for the pub 'bollywood' theme night so we have seen her in action. I just think when ever she gets an idea she just automatically thinks it's the best and when no one else takes her idea on she doesn't want to know as far as the task is concerned.
Posted by: giggily_grim on Thu May 01 04:57PM | Report abuseYou need to remember that a lot is down to the editing - who knows, Sara may well have defended herself but that bit was not shown on air! Nevertheless, last night was awful and they all deserved to be fired. I wouldn't want any of them anywhere near my business!
Posted by: paulcandrews on Thu May 01 05:02PM | Report abusei couldn't believe the way they were talking to sara. it was so sudden and un called for. for a minute i thought i was watching a another programme. Sara, Raef & Lucinda are the only decent people there (simon makes me laugh sooooo much). The rest are arrogant bullies and should not be even in the compettion. x
Posted by: uk3t on Thu May 01 05:03PM | Report abuseKevin was a numpty and deserved to go, the bullies should be kicked out for picking on Sara. Sara stand up for yourself you are an intelligent woman with brilliant ideas. Who are these people... all I can say is I am glad I don't work with any of them. The only ones who I would work with are Lucinda and Simon. BRING BACK SIMON!!!!!!!!!

Posted by: tc.morgan on Thu May 01 05:05PM | Report abuseWell thank the lord Kevin went because he was just an arrogant little gnome - a great shame that they ganged up on Sara. She had some useful suggestions, but was correct in saying that when she speaks everyone just looks the other way. And Lee - what was that outburst in the house? I have thought since the beginning what a genuine, likeable guy he is. Not anymore!
Posted by: j.pacey197 on Thu May 01 05:06PM | Report abuseThe way Sara was treated in last night's show was a disgrace. I feel Lucinda has had her fair share of bully tactics aimed at her too over the past couple of weeks. Their behaviour is a disgrace and the show is turning into another big brother fiasco.
