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?

Ever since Michael referred to himself as a "good Jewish boy" Sugar seemed intent on keeping him in time and again in spite of increasingly idiotic performances...
Posted by: dermotrice on Wed May 28 12:34PM | Report abuseI must admit i'm really disappointed with the Apprentice this time as they seem to be a bunch of foul mouthed back stabbing, incompetent stuck up idiots. To be honest if I were Sir Alan i'd have sacked the lot of them weeks ago, they havent got a clue when it comes to any task. What happpened in Morocco was a disgrace and they are just so rude and dont respect other cultures, it was so embarrassing. Lucinda is a waste of space and Michael trying to sell the Ferarri I just couldnt beileve the stupidity, i'm glad he got the boot
Posted by: leskeith2004 on Wed May 28 12:34PM | Report abuseIs it just me - or has anyone else noticed the flaw in this show. You cannot actually be fired at a job interview. You just fail at getting the job. Sir Alan, bless him, actually fired non one.
Posted by: e_o_fods on Wed May 28 12:34PM | Report abuseI think Lucinda is on her Period but she will improve. I'm still upset about Raef's leave as it wasn't fair! Rooting for Lee to win!
Posted by: katchewsey on Wed May 28 12:35PM | Report abuseMichael should have gone ages ago. ( Bring back Raef)! He should still be in it now. Michael has not got the brains to get him to the bog! He took a posh car down to the portobello market to sell . The people down there have just got enough money to live on, and a posh car for hire is the last thing on their minds! I think Alan Sugar has fired quite a few of the best ones, and apart from Lucinda, their is only @#$% left! Babs Mossley
Posted by: bab2rob on Wed May 28 12:35PM | Report abusewell i think that michael should have stayed as in the long run i bet you he would have proven fruitfull,and every body will agree with me.He was a real sales man.As from his face it looked that he is a simple,but capable person,and your heart just wanted to trust him,like sir Alen did till now.Any way great loss.I think sir Alen should think over once again.Believe me he is worth it!

What kind of dumb idiot thinks its a good idea to post unavoidable spoilers on the home page as the main headline with a big fat picture? I've just removed you as my home page and will not be using your site again. Stupid idiots
Posted by: dc_man007 on Wed May 28 12:36PM | Report abuseI have hated Michael ever since the start when he claimed Alex was using Nicolas 'de lacy' Brown as a scapgoat.
Posted by: mpeterson234 on Wed May 28 12:36PM | Report abuseLucinda is my favorite think she is honest and true to how she feels she is also the most intelligent, she just tells the truth and does not crawl round people. I don't know why Sir Alan has turned against her I think he is losing the plot! If he can't see past those nasty boys Alex and Lee then he deserves to have them working for him. Claire is a good sales person and would destroy anyone to get a sale,her overall intelligence is weak she could win as she has learnt the art of minipulation . As for Helene why is she still there?
