- 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...

What the hell was Kevin thinking about had he taken that two faced @#$% Jenny back in he might well have saved himself, Why Sara or is this another lets start another racism issue to better the ratings. All I can say is future Employer beware of this Jenny.
Posted by: alec_lockhart on Thu May 01 11:19AM | Report abuseIt was bang out of order the way everyone turned on Sara, admittidly she hasnt had much air time as the rest of them. I can understand her being struct dumb when she was verbally attacked by a baying mob, who wouldnt be? Well done rafe for being the only decent person to stick up for her. Jenny and claire must be the stand-ins for the @#$%es of eastwick

Posted by: p_j_seward on Thu May 01 11:20AM | Report abuseI thought that all the team members unfairly turned on Sara. They completely dismissed her ideas right from the start. They all have short memories and turn like a bunch of Judases when they are in the boardroom. I say petition Sir Alan to make Sara a team leader and see exactly what she may be made of.
Posted by: oultonfinanceuk on Thu May 01 11:20AM | Report abuseSara needs to toughen up if she is to survive in the world of Sir Alan. I do believe we are witnessing indirect bullying. Sarah has come up with a few good ideas but she cant blame the others for ignoring them, she needs to start and be more assertive.
Posted by: jbrown834 on Thu May 01 11:21AM | Report abuseThis crowd of contenders makes me so happy I have now retired after 20+ years working in the City. Towards the end of my working life I met these types. They know every cliche in the book but are disastrous in the workplace Jenny should have been sacked for pushing her bad idea forward buy was, of course, backed by Claire who would not know a good idea if it hit her in the face. Once these two team up together, no one stands a chance with their big mouth bullying tactics. I feel sorry for Sir Alan, he has promised one of these a job!
Posted by: hollyrose56 on Thu May 01 11:21AM | Report abuseSara was houded upon by a less than competent bunch! Good on Raef for sticking up for her and moving on. Her idea of cards for particualr religous festivals was the best of the lot. She needs to be more assertive though to survive.
Posted by: alasdair_mackinnon on Thu May 01 11:22AM | Report abuseWhat a bunch of self opinionated, self obsessed, attention seeking individuals. This programme is worse than Big Brother and if Sir Alan had any sense whatsoever he'd fire the lot. Not really good role models for any young person to aspire to. Dont give these people airtime!
Posted by: kevin.norton11 on Thu May 01 11:23AM | Report abuseSara actually did very well when she was team leader for the 'pub meals' task, but none of her colleagues seem to remember this! I was glad to see Kevin go but Jenny is just as bad- she should have been packed off during the laundry task disaster! Her participation in this task was muddled and just plain embarrassing!
