Viewers believe that Lord Alan Sugar fired the wrong person in the latest episode of The Apprentice<\/a>, following an exclusive RadioTimes.com<\/a> poll.<\/p>\n

A total of 64.5 per cent of those polled said that the wrong candidate was fired in last night\u2019s episode, after bath bomb entrepreneur Harry Mahmood<\/a> became the first contestant to be eliminated<\/a> from season 16.<\/p>\n

Harry was fired following his team\u2019s failure in the episode\u2019s challenge, which was to design a marketing campaign for a cruise liner.<\/p>\n

Although Harry\u2019s instincts about the group\u2019s poor choice of logo were correct, he was brought back into the boardroom for being \u201cdisruptive\u201d during the challenge.<\/p>\n

Project manager Akshay Thakrar<\/a> brought both Harry and Akeem Bundu-Kamara<\/a> back to the boardroom, and in the end it was decided that Mahmood would be going home.<\/p>\n
