Though I personally don't mind Karren, she does get a fair bit of stick around here. As a result I was thinking of a possible repalcement for her - and came up with Dragon Den's Hilary Devey.

Would she be ably to step into the great Margaret Mountford's loafers more snugly than Karren? You decide!

I like them both and would prefer to be able to watch them both in their respective programmes, but Hilary is a very interesting choice that could quite easily work that I'd never considered before.

I'm not a big fan of either but of the two I would rather see Karren in The Apprentice.

Hilary has a big personality, not sure it would work as Lord Sugar is the star of the show.

Hilary would make more sense replacing Lord Sugar than replacing Karren.

I love Karren, I don't want anybody replacing her!

I think Suagr wouldn't be able to handle Deveys strong personality and vice versa. Sugar strikes me as the kind of person who doesn't want anyone challenging him in any way and Devey would want to be quite forthright I would have thoguht as would he be able to handle that?

Also, there's not a thread on it, but I thought Sugar gave Nick the closest thing to a verbal slap down at the end of last weeks episode when Nick said something and Sugar didn't seem to like what he said and said something about "its his money" etc etc

THIS.
