- 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: jophillips870 on Fri May 02 01:32PM | Report abuseSara has been team leader and won the task, the one who let here down was claire then, who behaved so badly that even Sir Alan gave her a warning. This week she had the best idea of the show but who listened. What are the lads doing? i did not see anything from them other than following like sheep. Sir Alan to maintain your integrity sort out the bullying which is obvious and apparent show after show on an escalating scale.

Posted by: alba_gur_brath on Fri May 02 04:01PM | Report abusei feel sorry for sara, there is no way that sara was victim to a rasist attack. just because she is of a different colour and got a roasting from the others, what about lucinda, she gets picked on all the time, but she is white so thats ok is it .. P C is killing this country . the peolple shouting about race, need to get a life...

Posted by: englishsakura on Mon May 05 12:29AM | Report abuseSara's ideas for various religious cards may have been good but the point was to come up with a new occasion... I'm sure the Muslims thought of Eid many years before Sara! Hard to tell if she does contribute - it might just be editing. I'd like to see her in a team leader situation. And I don't think it's racism... people can dislike each other no matter what their race. Don't be so quick to jump to conclusions because she is Asian.
Posted by: englishsakura on Mon May 05 12:35AM | Report abuseSara has been treated unfairly, this is true! We don't know how much she contributed, but b**** Jenny C was fiercely attacking her just to conceal her great embarassment for not being taken to the boardroom by Kevin, therefore, unfairly, not being fired. Sir Alan made the good decision in sacking Kevin as he didn't take her, though. Jenny had the bad idea, but Kevin also had the bad one to follow her. Well done Raef AND Claire for standing up to fierce Lee, Alex and Jenny! Indeed if they are the best business people in the UK, I'm not impressed. They must shortlist poor candidates to make the show entertaining, just like in Dragon's den, in the X Factor etc.
