This was, of course another exciting week in The Apprentice. Sir Alan set the teams the task of coming up with a new greetings card holiday, to be fair, this episode did just highlight the fact that Valentines Day is a load of old bollocks set up by card companies to make money. If only there was some sort of day celebrating being single? This was Raef's idea, and it seemed like a pretty good one, that is until someone asked the question "And who exactly would send the card?" Yes...well...quite. Not only that but they spent about 3 hours debating the position of an apostrophe for "Singles Day", I don't even think there is one.
Still, a slight oversight this may have been, but the Matt Lucas-esque Kevin and his team came up with the slightly bizarre idea of a drive to save the world...by knocking down trees to make cards and envelopes, pay for fuel to transport the fuckers around the country and add to the high amounts of wastage this country suffers from.
Yeah...that aint gonna work, and it's hardly what Sir Alan was looking for was it? Though I'm not entirely sure his Urban Dystopia greeting card ideas would have sold too many down Clintons either. Talking about Clintons, my favourite scene this week had to be when Kevin claimed Clintons were just as bad as Bush if they rejected his idea, that's how you sell an idea! It's actually a shame he got fired, next week is the bartering task and I'd quite like to see him go "If you don't give us this chicken for £1, you're just as bad as Hitler."
Yes, Kevin got fired. But he truly brought it on himself, bringing Sara into the boardroom with him. 
Ah Sara, she had a pretty rough time this week, her pets birthday idea was slammed by the evil evil Jenny in favour of her ridiculous green awareness idea, then she was accused of doing nothing! Thankfully Sir Alan saw through this playground bullying and sacked Kevin, for the obvious reason that he was team leader and seeing that the absolute moron with the bad idea wasn't in the boardroom he was completely utterly to blame. Of course, Alex, Jenny and Lee didn't see it this way and started laying into Sara on her return to the house, until Raef put a stop to it. "A decision has been made, this is reliving the boardroom and she doesn't need to answer these questions. It's disrespectful." what a stand up gent! In that situation I probably would've punched Alex squarely in his throat...and that would mainly be for his choice of hat. But poor Sara, I just wanted to give her a hug by the end of the episode. Hope she proves herself to these odious streaks of piss next week. And I was quite sad to see Lee McQueen show his dark side, but I'll let him off with it on the grounds of naieve belief that Alex and Jenny weren't making Sara into a scapegoat. So a dark ending to another entertaining episode, 'mon the Sara!
