- Watch exclusive interview with Jennifer Maguire
It was a double-whammy on last week's Apprentice as not one, but two of the candidates were fired in a dramatic boardroom showdown following what should have been called the Headless Kosher Chickens task.
We didn't shed any tears for either cheating, bully Jenny Celerier or sour-faced, ice queen Jennifer Maguire as both of them have had this coming for weeks. How did they manage to survive this far? Actually, how have about 90% of this year's candidates survived so far? It's hardly a vintage year!
Jennifer - the greatest sales person in Europe - was a useless team leader and made mistake after mistake as she struggled to control her team. In the boardroom, her vicious side surfaced once again as she played the blame game and tried to pin her failure on her team-mates. Whiner Alex was also guilting of blaming everyone else - as usual - but again he got off the hook. Why can't Sir Alan see through him?
Meanwhile, the other Jenny, who previously enraged us when she bullied Lucinda, came unstuck last night when she cheated during the task in an attempt to sabotage the other team's result. How on earth did she think she could do this ON CAMERA and then get away with it? Duh!
What really angered us was that Michael, who helped her out in the scam, managed to wriggle himself out of trouble. This was despite his aggressive behaviour in the boardroom (again) and a blatant attempt to gain favour with Sir Alan by playing the Jewish card (thankfully he didn't pull his trousers down to prove it, as was suggested).
Michael is possibly the most arrogant contestant ever to take part - has anyone so useless ever thought so highly of themselves? Margaret quite rightly branded him 'a waste of space'. So why is he still there?
Elsewhere last night, Claire is actually starting to warm on us. Yes, so she does get totally out of control during the tasks but this does make it fun to watch as her teamleader struggles to reign her in. Is it just us, or does she have a look of Kerry Katona about her? You get the impression that she'd be quite a laugh after a few drinks down the pub though we'd pass on having her as a manager as we prefer our back as it is - minus the knives.
Lee succeeded as teamleader but we can't stand all the macho posturing and, in our opinion, anyone who shouts 'C'mon!' each time they succeed in something should be taken outside and shot.
Sir Alan's aide Nick is fast becoming the show's king of the one-liners - "There were Gucci branded underpants everywhere you looked but you don't seriously believe they were the genuine article do you?" he seethed at Alex during one boardroom exchange. Nick also picked up on Sara's success during this task and it was also a good week for Lucinda and Raef. Are these three the dark horses who will make it to the final three?
What did you think of last night's show? Was Sir Alan right to fire both Jennifer and Jenny? Should Michael have been fired too for cheating? Let us know what you think...

I can't stand either of them, but I'm glad the bullying Jenny has gone, sly and evil - glad she got the push on her birthday - ha ha. Alex is full of it, i'll give you 110% Sir Alan, it's crap and he knows it, can't wait for him to go - idiot with no business sense at all. Alan Sugar should have sacked all five of them!!

Posted by: markssabrina on Thu May 08 12:02PM | Report abuseAmazing, more twists and turns than Brands Hatch! I can't believe that any of the contestants? aka court jesters! have actually got on to this programme! How anyone has ever employed them in a previous life must seriously have major mental health issues. I am starting to think that maybe Sir Alan is considering branching out into a yet untapped market, "Fools 'R' Us?" yet again he's onto a sure winner!!!

Posted by: truelove3077 on Thu May 08 12:03PM | Report abuseSo glad those two awful people went. Both disgusting bullies and incredibly thick. How can you not know that Kosher is to di with being Jewish? Really want evil Michael to go next- totally agree with Margaret0 WASTE OF SPACE!
Posted by: estherberesford on Thu May 08 12:04PM | Report abuseFrom what I am reading I am glad that it's not on in my house ! Regrettably Common Sense and Intelligence have a tendency to be poles apart in some people. How do some of these people actually get on in real life ??
Posted by: theaton56 on Thu May 08 12:06PM | Report abuseThe whole lot of them are a bunch of idiots, Sir Alan cannot be seriously considering hiring one them. still they provide good entertainment better than some comedy programmes!!!! Think 3 should have been fired last night, the fired two plus Michael, Margaret words were right "a waste of space". Margaret and Nick are surpassing themselves this series, i love them
Posted by: tmir_knight on Thu May 08 12:06PM | Report abuseOn the video clip - the other guy - not Margaret, says "You're a protestant, I'm a catholic - you and I both know what Kosher means - yet this boy claims he's Jewish and doesn't know"??? IMO - Catholics wouldn't be seen dead on the Apprentice.
