If you'd have opened your window last night at about 9.55pm you'd have heard the sound of cheering across the land as Michael Sophocles was FINALLY given his marching orders in The Apprentice.
Michael seemed to get 'one last chance' from Sir Alan every single week and managed to wriggle off the hook from all sorts of disastrous tasks - from cheating over the tennis rackets to the kosher chicken debacle!
Last night's boardroom was real edge of the seat stuff - with at one point it looking like Helene was going to be sacked. Sir Alan quite rightly pointed out that we haven't seen much of Helene during the ten weeks of the show - what exactly does she do? His character assassination of her though did feel a bit too harsh - anyone else agree? We do feel that her card has been well and truly marked and it will take a minor miracle if she is not next to go.
And where has it all gone wrong with Lucinda? Only a couple of weeks ago we were rooting for her to win the series but last night she once again seemed more interested in sabotaging the task for team leader Lee than helping out. Her efforts at selling were pitiful and she was preoccupied with getting recognition for her contribution. Can she redeem herself next week?
Lee, Alex and Claire all had a very good week and these three now look like the ones to beat. Claire has really got her act together and is even managing to keep her mouth shut in the boardroom. Could she end up the surprise winner?
What did you think of last night's show? Should Sir Alan have sacked more than one person? Who do you think will win?

I used to like Lee, but now I'm not too sure - he and Alex just wanted Lucinda pushed out the way so they could get on and do their thing. Horrible men! Wish Lucinda would win - she's honest and kind.....characteristics the others have no idea about, although Claire seems to be shaping nicely. Next to go Helene please.........!!!!
Posted by: jjmmn2006 on Wed May 28 01:04PM | Report abuseThe Apprentice your weekly SOAP continued to provide the laughs, but sadly it has just lost its finest comedian 'Michael' , this young man has really provided me with some real gagging belly laughs, the Kosher chicken is a classic. It is on par with the Labour joke 'we are listening to what you say lol' we will miss you Michael for we only have Lucinda now to laugh at. But do not worry the Labour Party are looking for a new leader, go for it Mikey........

Posted by: jjmmn2006 on Wed May 28 01:05PM | Report abuseI think this series has stumped up a completely useless set of candidates. On previous series, you can have put money on two or three being worthy winners. This series I think they are all a bit of a waste of space - I wouldn't employ any of them. If I were Sir Alan, I would think long and hard next series before choosing his candidates. Having sais that, I know she's a bit gobby, but Claire is about the only one out of all of them that has a bit of something about her business wise

Posted by: shobanas2005 on Wed May 28 01:08PM | Report abuseIt was right that Michael went last night, he was useless. Lucinda should go next, shes so meladramatic.
Posted by: tmitchell62 on Wed May 28 01:09PM | Report abuseI'm hoping they all get fired
Posted by: steven.donovan on Wed May 28 01:09PM | Report abusei think sir alan should have fired helene and michael, but im still pleased that michael left. i think lee was being really unfair to lucinda, it's not her fault she isn't interested in cars! i think claire or lucinda could win, because i like them, but they seem to always argue! i hate Jenny!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
