Rewind your brain a few hours and it will all seem like a bad dream.

Maybe she did make it ? Who knows ?

It's not BBC News fault you decided to check the news which is meant to provide up to date information

Oh noes a news site reported something after it happened.

The shock of it.

Grrrr this happened to me too!! I can't be bothered watching this weeks episode now.

It's ironic that the BBC addressed this problem on one of their right to reply type programmes a few days ago (a slot on BBC News I think), and whoever is in charge of the website content said they'd look into changing the entertainment section so the latest fired contestant was not directly visible.

Only now the d*ckheads have put Lucinda's name on the ticker tape - doh!!

Unlucky!

I missed it on BBC1 and also had to watch it on I-Player - but I was careful not to check the news page first, as I thought it may have revealed what happened - I'd have been mad too had the result been spoiled for me!

However, I'd still recommend watching it - it was quite an interesting episode (and besides, it was obvious from very early on that Lucinda was going to go - it was hardly a nail-biter when it got to the boardroom!). In the future you should try and remember that, when you don't want to know an item of news, the BBC News website is a place that should probably be avoided!

You should give it a go, it's quite interesting - and, like I say, it becomes obvious very early on that Lucinda is for the chop, but it's still fascinating to see how the candidates deal with the pressure of the interviews (and believe me, they are very highly pressurised!)
