I swear she's never been this bad before. She moans about everything. Miss Glass is always half empty.

I honestly don't know how she is so successful being the unlikeable she is. The point that stuck out in my mind is the fact she said that Alana was being too "girly" and Alana was right when she said "what does it matter, how i got there, i still got money off" which is true.

Sure you can be professional but sometimes that won't help. I'd like to see how Karen deals with things, I'd never do business with her because she;s an odious bitch.

Yep 10000% agree with you.

She's starting to make her comments personal and just attacks at the candidates. Her comments and guidance should be what's true and nothing personal.

She's overcompensating for the fact that she works in a male dominated industry and in the employ of porn-barons....so she's trying to outdo 'scary' Claude - and every woman must bow before her hardline agenda....a despicable, selfish and self-obsessed individual, can't stand the sight or sound of her. Get rid Alan

She makes personal attacks, with no constructive criticism. She's rubbish.

Karen was very harsh, Alana is a sweet natured girl. I think what Karen said would have really stung her.

Seems she doesn't like the young and attractive female candidates even though she achieved a lot through simply being a pretty young woman once upon a time. To call Alana's (successful) negotiation "girly" and label her a pathetic female was terrible for someone who supposedly champions women in business.

I hope Karren is only 'playing a part' but I do wonder.

Very noticeable she was smiling and being cheeky with Courtney and Samuel when mentioning their failings- but clearly dislikes the women, and shows total disdain for their efforts. There is never any smiling criticism when she has Alana or Jessicca in her sights.

Maybe she does get frustrated if she feels the women 'are letting the side down', but really that's exactly what she is doing herself (not treating male and female candidates equally is surely an even bigger example of 'letting the side down').

The thing is, not only was she horrible to Alana, but she also insulted the sales guy by saying "i don't know how he fell for it". So not only did he offend Alana who is part of and in the show, but even worse, also undermine the bloke too.

The thing is, in these sorts of tasks loads of the candidates have indulged in flirting with vendors or customers to get a discount or a sale - I've seen the guys do it too. Yet it always seems like the female candidates are criticised more harshly when they do it.

Most people would just switch the TV off - that would sort it.

We will not allow one pompous bully to prevent us from watching a programme we otherwise enjoy.

Actually, most people would continue to watch one of their favourite programmes, despite it being sullied and contaminated by the occasional presence of a poisonous, face-like-a-smacked-arse little sour faced, bitching Tory cow.

She'll be given the elbow after this series. That'll sort it.

Do I detect you are not keen or do you just have a way with words ?

And what does politics have to do with it ?

The royal "we" now, or are you speaking for the nation?

Tthe thing is you are obsessed with this. If you just let go of the hatred you would feel much better and you wouldn't notice her so much. Getting worked up about her here won't make her leave the show so you might as well save your energy.

Those people who attempt in vain to support Karren despite her fudamentally unacceptable and repulsive behaviour should give up their prejudiced views and then they would see what is in front of their eyes.

They should enjoy their heroine because she won't be on the programme for much longer.

Only a couple of people on here are openly admitting they still like Karren, which is obviously a minority.

But people pointing out that you seem to be obsessed with her is totally valid, Because you consistently bump all 4 Karren threads seemingly every other post just to spout the same opinion. Ad infinum.

She's horrid. Most of us are saying as much. Let it go man.

Maybe Karren thinks that women using their sexuality to get a deal in business is a bit old fashioned. She was hard on Alana because it is a backward step for women to try 'flirty'' rather than to obtain a discount by using their brains. Just a thought.

A series or two ago one of the candidates basically flirted their way to get a diamond for a heavy discount that no male candidate would of been able to get and Karren said it was a good use of female charm (or words to that effect) in the boardroom. So suddenly to change your view is a little bit HMMMMM......

Like to share your inside knowledge with us?

Show's like this relies on liking and disliking people (and people's overreaction to those they dislike and you are a perfect example of this)

She has always been a figure of dislike and could be one of the reason's she was given the job.

Not sure why you think she won't be there for much longer (again please share your insider knowledge with us) since its clear from segments like Karen's harsh but fair the makers of the show are pleased with her comments and attitude

She's probably been on edge from being exhausted doing 2 big tv gigs at once. She's doing well as Honey G on X-Factor, so go her!

Yes she didn't seem to have such a "hard nosed" view when last year a female basically used her "sex" to rob a diamond.

I thought she improved in last night's episode. She did a 180 on Alana.

Yes, she said she lacked confidence.
Because her undeserved belittling of Alana last week was such a confidence boost!

She may as well have pushed her into the sea and then asked her why she was wet.
