By "good", I should clarify "horrendous, but hella entertaining and show stealing/trouble making" - ie, as she is now?
Skipped Apprentice past couple years, almost tempted to go back and watch that series now...

no she was as vindictive and nasty as she is in the house, she is just a very spoiled attention seeking at any cost loathsome human being.
The final lord sugar wasn't convinced she wanted it that badly and felt she would have been a risk
Just like Big Brother and the XFactor, it was becoming far too predictable who was going to go through. These days, it's mainly the fame wannabes who make it to the Apprentice finals.
Right... Other than Luisia, who else has actually gone on a 'Fame wannbe' circuit in the last few years? Nobody that's who.
But there were a few likeable candidates on The Apprentice (at least to me) that she didn't get on with at all and I thought she was really unpleasant to them. So I rooted against her every week and was thrilled she didn't win. Ironically she ended up being the risky candidate with a safe idea but lost to the safe candidate with the risky idea.
In the CBB house the people she's been against were either tough enough to take her on or I didn't really give a toss about, so she's been much better in my mind. Though it also could be that she's more suited to CBB than a more professional atmosphere.
Kate Hopkins ?
There was another blonde woman .. Can't think of her name but she ended up with a presenting job.
2009 that was. Im talking the last few (3/4) years.
Even if you take the whole of the Apprentice, there have been very few fame-chasers throughout.
And yes, she's just as horrendous on it. I liked when she bullied a man and staged a coup. It was hilarious.
I wouldn't say it's worth watching just for her. But yes, she's pretty much the same in both programmes. So if that's the sort of performance you like then you'd enjoy the series.
Jason was the one who made the last Apprentice worth watching for me.
Kate Walsh used to turn up on bots a lot but seems to have disappeared
No, she was as obnoxious and bullying as she is on BB.
To me, it was like watching Bambi being slowly skinned alive and disembowelled by a rabid wolf. I didn't like it and I didn't like her after that.
The 'Jason' incident is typically massively overplayed on these forums and IMO is also totally mis-representative of what actually happened.
On DS, this should not surprise us. ;-)
Bambi will never run a big business. The Apprentice is like Monopoly - it's not about being nice, it's about enjoying being a tw4t.
There's been a couple of Kates who've often been on our screens since actually ;-)
If Luisa and the likes want to use The Apprentice (BB etc) to start or further their fame hungry careers that's up to them of course. It's even more so common in other reality shows. But there are still contestants who genuinely enter The Apprentice for the experience, hoping to finance their business, to work with Alan Sugar etc.
IMO, I feel The Apprentice seemed to have started off as a great and genuine business/talent competition but fast turning into a predictable entertainment show.
With respect, I can categorically say that your statement above is nonsense (IMO of course;-)) and has no basis in actual fact with regard to how she fared in the Apprentice. It's also totally mis-representative.
Unfortunately, with her being manipulated and influenced by Linda in CBB, my support for Luisa deteriorated and she showed to be quite weak in that instance.
But Jason was totally incompetent - totally indecisive, with little practical or business sense. Thats why he was cast - to get in the way. The fact that anyone removing him will look like they are shooting Bambi , is laid into the story by the casting. Removing him in the context of the Apprentice is precisely what she should have done - its what Lord Sugar has told past failing teams they should have done facing disaster. If she hadn't removed him, they never would have completed the task.
One difference between the two series is that, on the Apprentice, the smarter people who don't like you tend to note when you are able, and treat you as an equal, or even follow you when you look right. Thats why the rest of the team followed her in sacking Jason, and follow her, in the last task before the interviews, and final task. There's always a mix of competent and hot air merchants in the Apprentice, and Luisa wasn't alone in running into the walking disasters. She was extremely competent in the basic business skills - with better business instincts than may winners. Lord Sugar finds her a bit much to potentially handle, but he probably picks Leah to win because she's offering a safer, bigger return, for less effort and outlay - and he doesn't care that he's robbing teh NHS of a doctor to make him money from botox.
In BB, there's no reason to have any safe,or competent people there at all, and nothing to stop the producers casting a whole house of people with big issues waiting to explode. . Thats what they seem to have done this series - with even the people flying below the radar illumintaed by luisa. The voters don't sift out the most incapable and annoying in the same way as Lord Sugar does - so many big issues continue. The result is that Luisa runs into all the issues the producers have cast into there, and tends to crash into all of them - instead of leaving well alone. She's an inspired piece of casting for this show - playing the usual commentator role - but with an axe, instead of a quick diary room comment. She's just upset too many people doing it to win - for knocking everyone else's game plan down.
Correct.
She also kept stating "I'm a big personality" without anything to back it up. If you say something enough, people will believe it. People mistook her boastfulness and self-conscious arrogance for being a "big personality" when in reality she had nothing interesting to say.
People also mistook her social skills and ability to manipulate for being a "good businesswoman". She'd probably be very good at networking. She would have been better off as a candidate for being employed by Lord Alan, rather than entering with her useless business plan.
....and he was right. She just wanted to get her daft fizzog on the telly.
Both very entertaining and a good candidate!
