nobody in the house thought she would go either

She obviously was more influential then what was seen, to me she seemed to be a saleswoman with nothing else supporting her, she wasn't shown as really being prevalent in anything other than sales.

Jordan should of gone had Fran brought him in

Why was she the best?

It's week 6 and i haven't seen her do one thing to benefit a task yet.

Sugar always makes clangers so what's new. Especially he keeps dreadful ones who make "good TV"

I thought she was quite prominent in the tasks when the women were in the same group. I reckon she was the best out of women at least.

She didn't do anything for all these weeks, but she should have been giving at least a chance to be PM next week to see how she faired.

Fran should have 100% been fired this task.

I'm through with this series now that Rebecca is gone.

Rebecca always had ideas and she could sell. The corporate people said the motivational speaker was the best part of the day!

It wasn't the cost of the motivational speaker that made the team lose, it was the refund they claimed for the rest of the day not being inspirational enough.

I have no idea why she had to go. LS didn't make sense with this decision.

I don't get why people should get fired for suggesting ideas. If they are not evaluated or executed properly, that's another matter.

I was surprised she was fired. I thought Francesca was going (even though I wanted Luisa too), so for Rebecca to get fired, that was a real shock.

She has been quite quiet, but she has shown glimmers of promise and I think we just needed to see her in a few more tasks to see her reach her full potential. I don't think she peaked and had a lot more to offer.

I think if this was apprentice rather than BP she ,might have won

Rebekah was an excellent candidate in the first two weeks. After Lord Sugar told her that her strong qualities were upsetting the fishwives, then she appeared to take too much of a backseat.

Lord Sugar's argument which brought her back into the boardroom this evening was economically illiterate. He said that without the expenditure on the external speaker her team would have won, hence Rebekah was at fault. Just because the £600 figure equated to the gap , it did not necessairly mean that that was the cause.

The difference between the teams was the fact that the client asked for more money to be returned. Without the external speaker - which appeared to be the most relevant part of the event - the client could have asked for 75% or 100% of the money back.

My opinion of Francesca (who I previously thought was very strong) went very much downhill this week, and my opinion of Rebecca went way up. I was very disappointed that she got fired.

Having said that, I do think that she could have spoken up in the boardroom a lot more. She should have made the point that the motivational speaker was the bit that made the away day good and if they hadn't had it they might have had to give more refunds and experienced a greater loss. I groaned when she said 'I've given up a lot to come into this' - they've all given up a lot, that has nothing to do with it. To do well in the boardroom, you need to focus on explaining exactly what you have done well. I think she really made the Karen Bremner mistake of being so sure that she was staying that she didn't really make an effort to defend herself.

It's a shame that she didn't get to be Project Manager. In fact, this is the longest that anyone has survived in the competition and still been fired without being. Previously, the record was jointly held by Lindi and Ellie, who were fired in Week 5.

Out of the three she was definitely the one who should've stayed, wrong result.

It was a strange one as technically Rebecca suggested 2 ideas that cost them money that lost the task although the motivational speaker was the best part of the otherwise pretty shambolic day.

The wine tasting done properly might have worked (although wrong theme).

I don't mind Francesca but she should have gone. The school theme was totally neglected and at the start of the day it was as if she suddenly realised she had to lead the thing and hadn't thought about the structure of it and was left winging it.

It's a shame Luisa didn't do anything fundamentally wrong with regards to the task so we could have seen the back of her. She's always moaning to the camera about how badly the task is going and never speaks up to help her team out.

Lord Sugar wanted a professional event and Rebecca is the only one that tried to go down that route then got punished as it cost money.

She should have pointed that out; I think if she had he would have fired Francesca.

Rebecca didn't deserve to go. I was so sure he was going to fire Francesca. He should have.

So true! The only good part of their project was the speech, its true it was expensive, but the rest was just childish and immature. I would've loved to see what they come with if they did it themselves. Maybe they would have asked for a bigger refund.

The majority of Dara's audience held up green "You're hired" signs, so lots agree. I was surprised. Rebecca was by far the best of the girls.
