We now have overwhelming evidence to this effect.

Anyone who cannot see this is being paid by Karren Brady (and it must be a lot).

I have to agree here, why on earth does she have some sort of agenda?? Claude is very direct and true in his comments, Karen just seems to attack the candidates, especially alannah in this episode.

Even lord sugar rolled his eyes had to interrupt karen talking about the ' because they had to bake it specially for you, werent in a great position to negotiate' and tell courtney to carry on explaining.

All in all I thought i was the only one seeing this, she needs to be more direct in her criticism and not make it personal.

I think Brady sees herself as one of the stars of the show.

Not saying I disagree (in fact I entirely agree), but come on OP you already have a Karen Brady thread that you made yourself as well as 2 other Brady centric threads, do we really need yet another?

No need to give someone as vile as that this much unwarranted attention

Claude is that kind of boss a lot of us have had where you may sometimes hate them but will always respect them.

Karen is that boss you've had that's a permanent cow

I really like Claude and would say that he's fitted into the role well I don't think Karen is likeable or suited to the role, she's mean harsh and aggressive as well as full of herself, time for her to go

That would be fantastic, 'Karren, you're fired'.

she doesn't have much of a sense of humour either, that bit where Alan was describing the fruit, it was obvious he was joking about himself, it's not all about you Karen

I thought she was downright nasty towards Alana when she basically insinuated she was acting like a whore.

I'm glad Alana somewhat stood up for herself.

Yea I normally feel quite neutral towards Karen but every now and then she makes me angry. The way she spoke to Alana discrediting her for getting a good deal was pretty nasty imo.

Yeah, Karren didn't say that about Vana's team last year when they sweet talked the guy in their hotel in Paris into getting cheap champagne flutes!
Claude is a sweetie and Alana brightened considerably last week when he complimented her on her video idea for the gilet. Karren is snidey and bitchy. I miss Margaret.

Karen always have this expression of sucking bitter lemons, and comes across as quite bitchy and seems like she can't wait to snitch on any minuscle mistake a candidate has made to LS.

I like Claude. Unlike Brady, at least he manages to smile now and again.

Did you really need to start another thread about Karren?

There is no overwhelming evidence of anything except your obsession with her. Suggesting people have to be paid to disagree with you about this is verging on the unhinged.

I've put him on 'Ignore'

Once you realise every post is going to be the same there's no point wasting time reading it.

Ah, I see, so Claude reports on mistakes to Lord Sugar, but Karren snitches?

She can't help her facial expression so it's wrong to criticise her for that.

We are all in charge of our facial expressions. It's funny how often they betray what is in our heart.

Continual sour twisted facial expressions would tend to indicate a black, evil heart.

I've tried to stay out of all this Karren hate but I have an observation:

it's heavily to do with the fact that Claude's voice is a lot lighter and softer than Karren's. Karren has a very sharp and piercing voice, so whenever she says anything, it probably sounds a lot harsher than she intends.

Claude's, on the other hand, is a lot fainter. even when he's scolding someone, he never sounds too angry, yet still carries that sense of authority with him. remember in s12 ep4 when he was practically yelling at the camera, because of Nebula's window display? I bet if that was Karren, this entire forum would jump on her, calling her every swear word under the sun.

that's all that I'm saying about the topic, but it's definitely a contributing factor towards all this hatred for her.

His yelling at the window display was both animated and funny

Karren never used to be like this but since she became "Baroness Brady' it's like she's determined to become the female Sugar, it's cringe. I don't know if she thinks she's being funny or entertaining but she seems to constantly hit below the belt these days.

I might just be wind - but I am happy to give him the benefit of any doubt.

How much is Claude paying you then?

Come off it, of course she can! I've seen her in other settings other than The Apprentice, without the sourface expression which she has a lot on TA so she certainly can help it. Nothing wrong at all with criticising it.
