I didn't say she had ... I said my OH, on hearing Karren calling out Alana for being 'a pathetic female' in her negotiations with the cigars, had commented on how she was being a hypocrite. I didn't question him on it (as I was concentrating on the show) but it's unusual for him to come out with something like that.

But neither of us said that Karren Brady had used her womanly wiles to (quoting you) "to get where she is today."
Perhaps you should your OH why he thinks she's being a hypocrite? I've never seen or heard her act in the "pathetic female" manner she criticised the candidates for. As far as I'm aware she achieved her position in business through being good at her job, without using such methods.

If Karren Brady is good at her job and if she got there through proper behaviour, it would be really nice if she would demonstrate these things on TV, rather than being an appallingly nasty piece of work, destroying other human beings for her own gratification in a totally needless way.

She just isn't in the same league as Margaret/Nick/Claude.

They pull(ed) off the roles with ease, being harsh, looking bewildered by the actions of the candidates and adding some witty one liners. Karren just comes across as a hard faced, snotty, bitter brat who thinks she's above the candidates, and once she has you in her sights, she doesn't stop picking at you until you're fired.

100% correct.

I need response to the question in the thread, there is such overwhelming evidence of Karren's increasingly appalling behaviour that only someone on her payroll could possibly defend her.
You don't need anything of the sort. You have your own opinion, that's very clear. There is no evidence, just opinions.

As for the BIB, you are clearly deluded.

If Karren Brady is good at her job and if she got there through proper behaviour, it would be really nice if she would demonstrate these things on TV, rather than being an appallingly nasty piece of work, destroying other human beings for her own gratification in a totally needless way.
Destroying other human beings for her own gratification? Blimey you are taking things way too seriously.

I don't speak geek, so when people use acronyms I have no idea what they are talking about.

You're on the internet, so maybe you should use google to learn the terms people commonly use here.

BIB = bit in bold.

Well she certainly displayed no business nous when she led negotiations in the celeb Apprentice, which is why I found her criticism of Alana amusing. At least Alana got what she negotiated for. Anybody who wants to watch the failed negotiating skills of Brady, only need google it. She's just lucky Margaret wasn't as snidey to her in the Boardroom as Karren was to Alana.
