- 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...

sara should not have even been taken into the boardroom. she had some good ideas, the eid cards would have been fantastic, but noone listens to here. she needs to be more assertive. clare and jenny should be fired for being so two faced and bitchy! esp clare, my lord do i hate her!!
Posted by: mj_junkie86 on Thu May 01 05:11PM | Report abuseKevin certainly reminds me of Matt Lucas' character Vicky Pollard, not just the accent but his appaling manner. I do feel sorry for Sara, but the series is turning into more of a 'big brother' programme. I wouldn't particuarly want to hire any of the contestants. Good luck to them, getting a job after the show!
Posted by: faye_87_uk on Thu May 01 05:11PM | Report abuseRafe has gone up (very slighly) in my estimation by his galant defence of Sara. It was an outrageous outburst by an arrogant idiot. Hope Sara has the guts and fight to show what she is capable. However let's not forget there will never be a real team spirit, as they are all in it for themselves and they are as bad as each other.
Posted by: surajitde on Thu May 01 05:13PM | Report abuseI just hope that Lucinda & Sara survive Jenny, the irish ice queen (can't remember her name), & claire - they are like 3 witches. If I was Alan Sugar I wouldn't care what skills they had, they are vile people and I'd worry about their business ethics as they appear to have very few moral ethics. Lee & Alex let themselves down last night with that "lord of the flies" style bullying. Nasty! Good on Raef (he's growing on me) at least he's got some common decency. I don't know why I watch it - it just makes me mad, - on second thoughts, yes I do know why I watch it - I really want to see all 3 of the bitches get fired!!
Posted by: lavcott on Thu May 01 05:27PM | Report abuseI was gobsmacked at the idea Kevin's team had and said straight away they are going to lose! I cannot understand how such 'educated' , 'business' people would not stop to think about the concept. I teach in a Business & Enterprise College and I know my 14 year olds would have challenged this idea. The apostrophe business - well I just watched in disbelief, not one of the team could work it out but Raif!! Lee turned on Sara because he knows he will be team leader next week and he wants to cover his back, but it was sad she was made a scapegoat, Jenny should have been in the boardroom and she new it so she diverted the attention to Sara!
Posted by: dorothy.scire on Thu May 01 05:29PM | Report abuseFrankly, I wouldn't employ any of them. Like so many reality shows, they've been picked for TV, not for ability. Sugar must be making a lot of money to offset the hundred grand he's got to pay one of these wasters.
Posted by: john.summerbell on Thu May 01 05:29PM | Report abuseI hope sara or raef wins! the others (exept lucinda) were completely unfair towards Sara, who should have defended herself more. fair play to raef for sticking up to her.

Posted by: bethanypowell on Thu May 01 05:46PM | Report abusewell i care 2bh :) i really enjoyed yesterdays show but some moments were just sooo cringy, i was litrally hiding behind the sofa lol esp when micheal screamed in the board room lol!!!!!! i think that matt lucas look-a-like desierved to leave, if hes not clever enough to bring Jenny into the boardroom, he surely isnt clever enough to be Sir Alans apprentice lol :) it upset me that they all ganged up on Sara, i dont understand what they an achieve by bullying her like that, 2bh it just made them look bad :/ but Raf came to sara rescue!!! my opinion of him has now risen :D....... RAF 2 WIN!!
Posted by: philhelen on Thu May 01 05:51PM | Report abuseshe is an appaling business woman, her ideas are very narrow minded and on top of things she does not have the gumption to retaliate. her form of sticking up for herself is by pulling stupid faces!
