- Video: Michael wriggles out of trouble in the boardroom
It was a case of bride and gloom for Sara on this week's Apprentice after she became the latest candidate to be fired from the show.
Sara's team, led by Helene, lost out after failing to shift a single wedding cake in a task which saw the two teams set up rival stalls at a wedding exhibition. We could sense that the writing was on the wall for her after she declared herself a cake expert early on in the task. Big mistake. Later, her pushy sales technique did her no favours and it was this that ultimately led to her downfall in the boardroom. We have an inkling that we had seen the best of Sara on the series and she just didn't have what it takes to go on to win. Shame.
What infuriated us last night was that - yet again - Michael somehow managed to wriggle out of getting fired. This was a guy who last week was involved in cheating on a task and managed to convince Sir Alan to give him 'one last chance' - so why has he now been given yet another 'one last chance'? Does he have something on Sir Alan that is keeping him in the series? We're starting to think that.
Last night Michael was exposed once again as a liar after Margaret pulled him up over the decision to go with the mid-price dresses. We were then treated to yet another display of Michael's naughty schoolboy act where he goes all coy and softly spoken and says he's really, really sorry and promises never, ever to do it again. We really want to see him lead the losing team next week and finally get his marching orders. Enough is enough!
Lucinda shone again as team leader and even the boisterous Claire was singing her praises in the boardroom. We were disappointed though when she didn't go along to help choose the wedding dresses - we'd have loved to see her set up a stall of kooky wedding gowns, all with matching berets. There were no surprises elsewhere when Claire plumped for the BHS frocks. We're still really liking Claire - when she ditches the backstabbing she does seem like a nice person, though we can't see her as Sir Alan's apprentice.
It was another great week for Lee as he sold sparkly knickers to a crowd of blushing brides-to-be. Even Margaret cracked a smile in the boardroom when he was hailed as a thong expert. Perhaps she made a sly purchase at the exhibition? If Lee can keep a lid on his agressive side then he is a serious contender, however, we did count a further three "C'mons!" last night - a sackable offence in our book.
As for Raef and Helene - we think Helene's card is now well and truly marked after last night's task and Raef just seemed like a bit of a spare part. We're not sure why he dressed up as a giant teddy bear to promote sexy wedding lingerie. Any ideas? As for Alex - yes he sold a few dresses last night but we still can't stand the whiner. Nice to see he found time to squeeze in a haircut between tasks.
We think that a Lucinda v Lee final is now looking increasingly likely. Do you agree? Did Sara deserve to be sacked last night? Why do you think Michael is still in the competition? Let us know what you think...

Posted by: jro7563 on Thu May 15 03:57PM | Report abuseThought they were all pretty alwful & think there should have been another double firing Micheal - how the hell did he not get voted off - he should have gone last week & 200% this week why does AS let him wine on like that - I thought he had voted the @#$%es of last week but his the male version & a big cry baby - why would you beg - He has no idea - you can talk the c***b down the phone but not face to face - no wonder he didnt sell anything I was unsure about Sara but she wasn't very interpersonell enough with the buyers so no wonder she was voted off I think this series the whole lot are not worth the job there all rubbish & to @#$%y Will be interesting to see who wins!! I hope it not Claire or Lucinda Totally agree with evey other comment Look forward to next weeks - its a good laugh after a very long day but not as funny as last series
