- 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...

This argument had absolutley nothing to do with 'Racism' it was a 'MY D**K IS BIGGER THAN YOUR D**K!!!!!!! rant......................next time lads why dont you just mark your territory! Sara grow some balls & fight back!
Posted by: samanthamillward on Thu May 01 08:50PM | Report abuseIt was shocking to watch them all ganging up on Sara. I thought she was the only one in the team who actually completed everything that she had been asked to do which was card production. And Jenny's statement about her buying a lot less cards...that was just a classic moment, she should have definitely gone last night although i will not exactly miss @#$%y Matt Lucas lookalike :)

Posted by: johnkneen on Thu May 01 11:40PM | Report abuseWho heard Radio 2 this afternoon. The idiot said he was grateful for the experiance and has learnt from his mistakes. He has even been offered a job as a Wealth Manager or as he says in his rdiculous accent welf. I would not trust him with his own money let alone someone elses. So glad he went , we see too many morons on this show. Could you imagine him in charge of Northern Rock or maybe he was. Remember when he could not even count how many tomatoes he needed for his food. Britains top businessman by the time he reaches forty. Lets hope you dont !!!!!

Posted by: bayswater1 on Fri May 02 12:49AM | Report abusewhy is it a racial attack? Oh because she's a minority and therefore deserves special protection? Now whose being racist? Kevin was a self deluded dunce. His saying he inspired people made me LOL, he reminded me of Gareth from the Office. Sugar is just weeding out the chaff. Like the girl who got canned last week, he didnt deserve to go, but is not an employable propostition, so why not cut him now. Raff is looking like the winner to me, but the little spiff (theone who yelled) is great entertainment.
Posted by: bayswater1 on Fri May 02 12:59AM | Report abuseNever mind what happenedon the show, I have been waiting for the racism card to raise it's head in reader comments, and sure enough it did. Great Britain and political correctness gone horribly over the top. This was nothing to do with racism, NOTHING. I do however feel extemely sorry for the attacks on Sara, bunch of wannabe knobs.
Posted by: n.king612 on Fri May 02 08:38AM | Report abuseI would not let any of this lot deliver newspapers. if this is the best you can offer Sir Alan as his apprentice, what a sorry state the country must be in. We could blame the people who pick these contestants, are they trying to get the best brains or looking for clashes in personality. Whatever the answer the show is in danger of becoming a big turnoff
