I am sure that most candidates have slagged each other off but maybe not in such an evilly sardonic way as Katie. I think she is great to watch. So much confidence and yet very little ability. She has caused the downfall of her friend (Natalie) and lover in a remarkably short space of time.

To be honest the next time she is in the boardroom she will go but for entertainment I hope she stays for a few weeks yet.

Get rid of a couple more dull ones first please or Jadine with that huge chip wobbling on her shoulder.
Actually she has considerable ability. She didn't cause the downfall of Natalie or Paul. They were people who had failings of their own in leading their tasks and to an extent looked to her to shore them up. She is someone to whom others seemingly look for leadership.

She's extremely influential in the house. I'm at a loss as to how she's managed it, though.

Has she slept with them all, bar Adam?

If she had these talents then surely she should have challenged Paul- she is obviously fairly cultured so she must have known the cheese wouldn't sell.

Maybe she is so clever she deliberatley engineered the fall of Paul?

She seems to be very charming and good with people. They are drawn to her and presumably do not see the other side of her. It's mindboggling how nasty are the comments we see her making on screen.

I feel sure she wouldn't have chosen that cheese etc if she had been in charge or if she had been with him when he bought it. I wonder if she didn't challenge him because of loyalty. In any case, she clearly thought that Kristina was challenging him and undermining him. That might be why she was shown as silent when Kristina was telling him on the phone that cheese wasn't a good idea. If that was the reason, the whole thing fell foul of the politics of the team and lost.

Paul didn't listen to Kristina, apparently because he didn't know whether to trust what she was saying. He did seem particularly bad both in the decisions he took and in execution of the task. He had poor practical, problem-solving skills and that is mainly what business is about. Going along with him did no favours to her at all in terms of her own performance.

I was very disappointed in her both in her getting involved with him on the show and in her subsequent performance and her vicious comments about others. Judgement seems to have deserted her too, although it was something she did have previously.

she shows a staggering lack of judgement - how anyone could say Paul was a good leader under any circumstances I don't know, misplaced loyalty or not!

her viciousness towards Adam is concerning - I'm not aware that he's actually done anything to her so her vitriol seems really unnecessary

she has influence because she has social skills - that's the only reason. Nothing of actual substance whatsoever

Well that's another sensible decision he's made.
