Im currently watching the apprentice on Record with the sound down and the faces are driving me nuts, Maria is doing all the eye rolling and sneering I have come to expect, I really really don't like her and want to smack her is that normal?

Perfectly normal, she's hideously vile.

I think she's ok, if a bit cartoony. I also found it quite amusing that she's obviously more self aware than most Apprentice candidates with her comment " and there was hardly any conflict - which is surprising cos I'm here" or something like that

Poor lass! She has a very expressive face. She'd be a terrible poker player.

I don't mind her. She really did keep herself in control on the task, and you could see her fighting to button her mouth a bit in the boardroom until it was her turn to speak.
