Karren Brady knows who the finallists are, so why is it ok for her to comment on the candidates? She said towards the end of the show: "I think Jim is one to watch." Well he clearly didn't get to the final then, or she'd be accused of spoiling the outcome. And when there was a debate about certain candidates, she kept quiet. Another sure-fire sign that she knows something that we don't. Stop ruining it for those of us who don't like spoilers!

Why does she appear on this show in view of what she already knows?

I see nothing wrong with Nick and Karen being on the show. As long as they don't pretened they don't know, or give spoliers away like "I think Jim is one to watch".

I'm sure Jim does not win because I dont think Karen is that silly, but it is still a spoiler I would rather not know.

This is merely an opinion of Karen, to which she is fully entitled. Do you honestly think the BBC would ruin their show at Week 2? There was no spoiler here.

Karen said that Stella was "one to watch", last year. It's just an opinion. It could go either way to be honest.

I do like Karren, and i usually agree with what she has to say, but her telling us that Jim is one to watch means he's not going to win. I remember early in Series 2 when Lord Sugar - back when he was just plain old Sir Alan - was cheekily asked by Jonathan Ross who he thought would win. Sir Alan jokingly answered: "Syed". My friend then went out and blabbed that he knew who was going to win the show that year. As if Sir Alan would actually announce who had won the show. My friend looked rather sheepish when Syed only came 5th.

That's true, she did. I just don't like people knowing what's going to happen in case they accidentally let something slip!

And you can use the 'as if' criteria for what Karen said about Jim. All will be revealed in about ten weeks time

wow, how unprofessional were Natasha and Zoe (The who? twins) slagging each other off. I can safely rule them out from winning after seeing that. Sugar wouldn't be impressed.

Yeah that was silly; even more bizarre seeing as we haven't seen them not getting on (or indeed even talking much) in the show.

Well, afaik, You're Fired isn't live, so if she did let something slip they'd be sure to edit it out.

Theres still a lot of candidates though and only 30 minutes of the task so its not suprising a lot isn't seen.

Yeah fair enough - it just seemed a bit of a bolt out of the blue to me as we haven't seen them not getting on - obviously they mustn't though.

Nick and Margaret always used to come out with a list of names in print and during tv interviews though, even when they clearly knew that person/s had already left. Don't forget this was all filmed months ago. The final two have already been decided, so in all fairness they are not really giving that much away.
