The majority of Digital Spy readers have disagreed with Lord Sugar's decision regarding Felipe Alviar-Baquero's paper skeleton.
In this week's (December 3) selling task the candidates were required to purchase a skeleton, and candidate Felipe had a brainwave to buy a paper version - which was significantly cheaper and matched both the height requirement and "anatomically correct" specification.
The Apprentice: Who should be hired? Ranking the remaining 7 candidates
Lord Sugar was not impressed by this and fined Team Tenacity a hefty £310, which caused them to lose the task. Felipe was subsequently fired by Lord Sugar.
Of the 17,291 readers who voted, 86.25% believed that Lord Sugar was being unfair, and that Felipe matched all the requirements given to him.
Only 13.75% of people thought that Felipe was trying to be clever and deserved to be fired.
Felipe recently told Digital Spy that he believes Sugar took the "genius idea" the wrong way.

Whether he was being humiliated as Fat Daddy, in tears in New York, or respectfully informing Lord Sugar that he will never change away from being the nicest man in business, you'll struggle to find anyone who has watched this year's Apprentice who didn't love Felipe Alviar-Baquero.
Not since the days of Raef 'Prince or Pauper' Bjayou has there been an Apprentice candidate who has warmed our cockles quite as much as Felipe.
So we were very excited to speak to him after his tragic and controversial firing from the boardroom this week.
Felipe! You were robbed. It's an outrage!
Oh, thank you.
Did you not think it was an outrage? You seemed to just accept Lord Sugar's strange decision.
Oh, I had an argument for a long time, before I just gave up. It was a very, very long argument. Extremely long. In the end you just have to give up.

Felipe Alviar-Baquero has reacted to being fired from The Apprentice in tonight's elimination (December 3).
The contestant spoke to Dara Ó Briain on The Apprentice: You're Fired about his experience on the reality business show.
The Apprentice review: We've got a bone to pick with Lord Sugar
He was fired after his attempt to show initiative in the latest task went badly wrong.
The two teams were given the classic task of buying a series of items to sell, but Lord Sugar was furious when lawyer Alviar-Baquero bought a paper skeleton instead of an upright version he'd requested on the list.
Alviar-Baquero told O'Briain: "I tried to defend it a number of times but when it came to it Lord Sugar is 'I'm the judge, I'm the jury and discipline court'.
"I couldn't say anymore.
"It got to the point where I had to stop, he wasn't going to take...

Felipe Alviar-Baquero became the 13th candidate to be fired from The Apprentice tonight after his attempt to show initiative went badly wrong.
The two teams were given the classic task of buying a series of items but Lord Sugar was furious when lawyer Alviar-Baquero bought a paper skeleton instead of an upright version.
Although the paper version fit the specifications outlined by Lord Sugar, he fined Team Tenacity £310 which resulted in them failing the task.
Team Tenacity's project manager Daniel Lassman - who was forced to return to the Boardroom for the fourth time this series - chose to bring back Alviar-Baquero and Katie Bulmer-Cooke, allowing Mark Wright to return to the house in safety.
Although Lord Sugar did question whether Bulmer-Cooke has more to offer than just "common sense", he announced that he was going to keep her around this week, leaving just Lassman and Alviar-Baquero in danger.

Felipe Alviar-Baquero felt like a father to the other 'The Apprentice' candidates. The father-of-two was fired from the BBC One business programme in last night's episode (03.12.14) and admitted some of the other hopefuls may struggle now he has left the process. He said: ''I am a dad and I have two kids, and I was the dad of the house. I tried to live with everybody, I got on with everybody, cooking more-or-less every night for everyone in the house. As you may have seen, I helped the guys with things they didn't know how to do.'' The 33-year-old solicitor was frequently...

The Apprentice candidate James Hill was fired by Lord Sugar after a shambolic performance as project manager for Team Summit in tonight's episode.
The nine remaining hopefuls had been tasked with selling products at the Royal Bath and West Show, but Hill ignored his team's advice about which products to sell, lost the opportunity to sell hot tubs after getting their owner's name wrong - and then lied about it - and argued with Roisin Hogan.
When Hogan advised him to tell the truth about losing the hot tubs, he replied: "That might be your advice, but what do I want to do? Today, it's important what I want to do, isn't it?"
Ultimately, losing the hot tubs to Team Tenacity - led by Felipe Alviar-Baquero - proved to be a disastrous outcome as in the Boardroom it emerged that Summit had made £4,757.50 while Tenacity had racked up sales of £30,115.25 after shifting ten jacuzzis.

Pamela Uddin has reacted to being fired from The Apprentice in tonight's elimination (November 12).
The contestant spoke to Dara Ó Briain on The Apprentice: You're Fired about her experience on the reality business show.
The Apprentice review: Sexist board games and silly business
Uddin said she was "gutted" to have left the competition, adding: "I really thought it was Daniel [Lassman] that was going, simply because he does quizzes for a living.
"I thought I was out of the bad zone, but obviously I wasn't."
Speaking about leading her team on the task, Uddin said: "I was focused on getting the group back as a team more so than the task itself.
"I thought 'I can really build this team again', because we did fall apart on task five."
She admitted she was "mortified" when she saw the picture her sub team had chosen for the board game's box.
