Apprentice viewers are in mourning after Lord Sugar fires Karthik
An elegy in tweets

Nothing gold can stay. And neither can Karthik on The Apprentice. After an especially fractious episode, the fan favourite was sent home by Sir Lord Major General Alan Sugar
Twitter didn’t take it well, which is odd, because it’s usually so composed about these things.
How can Karthik get fired??? The Apprentice is only good because of him

Some found whatever comfort they could.
Heavy mwi & just saw that @Karthik_Nagesan has been kicked off The Apprentice – shocking. #Boycott xx

And others knew that as long as they remembered his teachings, Karthik would always be with them.
Need Karthik's quotes on a T-shirt. Samuel can't sell expensive stuff to save his life that's why he didn't fight for it. #Apprentice

Although it wasn’t a total love-in.
People saying Karthik off Apprentice needs to go on CBB need to get a grip. He'd be more unbearable than Perez Hilton let's be real

And Karthik himself thought he was better off out of it.
BOOOOM!! "See you guys on the other side" #TheApprentice

Ah the bickering. So glad I took the taxi without waiting around. Half way home by now. #TheApprentice
