Dictinary definition of fatuous: 'inane, pointless, vacuous'.
Dictionary definition of snide: 'mocking, derogatory'. In the episode before last we saw the women's team forget to take the jeans with them. They knew that they had forgotten on the way; everyone knew they had forgotten them. They knew it was a disastrous oversight on their part and were upset about it. At this point, Karren chips in with: "Let me get this staight, you are going to do a photo shoot for your jeans without the product (cue very sour, viciously mocking face)". These remarks can ONLY be seen as POINTLESS - they literally added nothing OTHER THAN MAKING THE CONTESTANTS FEEL EVEN WORSE - and hence they were clearly and deliberately DEROGATORY said only to make them look stupid. In the last episode, one of the women said she contributed by helping with the model's hair and by cleaning up. Karren chimed: "Hairdressing and cleaning, not skills that Lord Sugar is looking for". This is INANE AND PONTLESS because we all already know that (including any ten year olds watching) so they add no value and again (cue very sour and dismissive face), were said in a demoralisngly MOCKING tone, that could ONLY have been intended to put the contestant down. KARREN IS CONSISTENTLY FATUOUS AND SNIDE. QUOD ERAT DEMONSTRANDUM. |

That's my problem with the show in general. Damned if you do, damned if you don't. |

Natalie could also have pointed out that as a hairdresser, she was helping win the task and not to do so would have been seen as disruptive. Alas, Natalie did not take the hint and was fired. |

The show is supposed to be tense and feature drama and conflict. Karren's brief is to be haughty and critical, not sweet and encouraging. I don't think her comments are 'fatuous and inane', rather the reverse, and I certainly didn't need a vocabulary lesson from the OP, with shouty capitals and some pretentious Latin thrown in for good measure.

I think she gives credit where it's due but she does come down hard on people being ineffective as does Claude. I think I'm the last episode when she was pulling faces was down to them having no set prices given on the products which is ridiculous for a business task.

On the missing jeans -- not everyone knew. You seem to have missed that Karren was not with the girls when they realised they'd not got the jeans with them in the car. Karren had been waiting with the photographer in the studio, so this oversight was news to her and she was just establishing the facts.
On Natalie -- Karren was telling Natalie to move on and give Lord Sugar reasons for keeping her in the process. Natalie could also have pointed out that as a hairdresser, she was helping win the task and not to do so would have been seen as disruptive. Alas, Natalie did not take the hint and was fired. |

Brady is a nasty peice of work.
Can't wait for her next 'women in business' rant, where she conveniently forgets her background in the soft porn industry.

Every year this thread come up, same subject different posters.
For what it's worth I quite like Karren. To keep a marriage going in a notoriously transient industry for over twenty years, bring up two children, hold down a senior position in an industry that doesn't value women and to recover from a very serious health scare ain't too shabby. |

Strong? All I see is sneering, condescension and a nose firmly up Alan Sugar's arse.

It would be great if someone with all this incredible experience, amazing success and fantastic personal characteristics would make 1/10th of the contribution to the show that one might reasonably expect, especially given the massive fee she is 'earning'. And if someone who has an experience to gain proper perspective on life could be less dismissive, contemptuous and insulting towards other human beings.
She should be embarrassed and ashamed of what we see every week. |

Another episode in which narky Karren had nothing positive or useful to say compared with Claude twice praising someone's performance and giving his criticisms in a more measured way that the candidate could actually do something with.

It's really time for Karren to be given her marching orders - someone who treats other human beings that badly should not be paid large sums of money to do so on TV.

I always assumed LS sat on a booster seat to make himself appear taller in the boardroom, but perhaps it's something else that raises him up.

Let's all pray that Karren has had a personality transplant, otherwise tonight we will be in for witnessing yet more appalling denigration of other human beings. 😩

Astoundingly, she is getting worse.
Definitely time for her to be fired. |

Someone should remind this chipped up, Tory, porn-baron employee that she's not appearing on Newsnight or auditioning to be the new Paxman....it's an entertainment show, but her face-like-a-smacked-arse bitching and anti-female posturing is ruining it. Get shut of her and get someone on there who understands what the show's all about.

Karren totally lacks class.
Someone who has been lucky enough to become hugely wealthy and to have survived an operation with a 50% survival rate should really show more compassion towards other human beings. Given it is clear that there is overwhelming evidence of her appalling behaviour, she cannot survive for another series. |
