I see no redeeming qualities in Edna at all I'm afraid.
I think she is unbelievably rude and has an over-inflated opinion of her own importance. How anyone can consider her worthy of a single word of praise quite frankly amazes me! |

Edna was rubbish. Her fixed smile after the live pitch was classic!

I don't think she has a chip on her shoulder.....quite the reverse.
People keep making nasty comments about her facial structure, um, I mean facial expressions and saying she has an attitude, even though that is just... how her face is. If you look at her profile picture, she has the same straight-face and lower cut eyes she has in the show. I guess she didn't like the look of the photographer and was giving them the "ghetto stare-down" too, huh? Sad in this day and age, people can have such a blind, ignorant hate for an individual just because they don't like the look of them.

My initial impression is negative, but I'm still giving her a chance. She was right to shut Susan down; Susan would have woffled pointlessly forever. Getting straight onto market research was plausible too; I don't know that it made much difference here but it's basic insurance candidates often miss. So she's not hopeless.

amazing 5 out of the 8 ladies thought the app was terrible when the 4 hour total was read out lol
2) the 5 hands were raised before any totals were announced by Nick and Karren P.S. Perhaps the segment on YouŽre Fired was a hint as to how succesful Edna and her pitch were

She is too dictatorial . Not the right attitude for a partnership.

Agree with you on that, but I don't think there is very much else to recommend her. The pitch she gave to the bloggers was truly abysmal - patronising waffle.

Am I the only one who thinks she's the spitting image of Treyc Cohen from The X Factor?

Edna:
"At the end of the day if you dont agree with the way that I do things, you need to get out of my team." Isn't it her job as project manager to manage the team members effectively? Telling someone to get out of the team isn't an option they have on The Apprentice. She needs to exercise her authority effectively and keep people on side. Edna comes across as egocentric to me - especially with the long leather gloves for the presentation. |

I thought her pitch was embarrassing- they took the stupid noises app thing fair too seriously in that pitch, it was cringworthy. At least the lads saw it for what it was and had a laugh with it. They clearly had a better pitch.I mean, they were pitching to a games convention, not business people.
And overall I find her very bolshy and aggressive and more arrogant than most of the other girls. |

definitely not a team player or much of a leader
her pitch was scary/ awful people who proudly claim "i don't suffer fools" are usually major a-holes, as she is demonstrating. |

It wasn't until everyone else pointed out the problems that I understood what was wrong with it. I suppose I felt her delivery was good but the content was poor. She should get someone else to write the pitch but she could still perform them herself.Mind you, I'm impressed by almost anyone who can stand up and do that in front of a crowd.

At the time I quite liked it.

Her pitch was pure Brent.
She probably had a ghetto blaster with 'Simply the Best' ready underneath the table.

they're basically saying 'i know i'm a bitch but i'm not going to apologise for it so you must accept that about me!'
Edna could have simply asked Susan to get to the point and if she couldn't within a couple of minutes, say "I'm sorry I'm going to have to move on". |

For some reason, she reminded me when she was doing the pitch of that scene in the Witches with Anjelica Huston in the conference room, lol!
It was those darn gloves she was wearing! Her pitch was awful, she was really lucky to have won it. |
