Just What Reality Is This?
This series is becoming more and more like Big Brother - media hype, putting ego against ego, and somehow the big personalities keep ending up back in for another week - I mean, was it really just a coincidence that we had the full on Katie-Adam row after weeks of building up to it?! Why didn't Sir Alan put them on separate teams as he has in the past when they squabble. And how did that useless Indian female (can't be bothered to look up how to spell her name she is so useless) manage to get past the first week. I'm not sure I trust this any more...

I don't think Katie and Adam have ever squabbled before, have they? Katie's has always kept her opinions for the private camera. They had a bit of an argument in the boardroom last week, but nothing unusual.
Ghazal has survived because she's done well on tasks, winning as PM and keeping out of the boardroom until this week. |

I've worked with a few "Katies". "Katie the clone" does exist in the real world, and is just as silver tongued, backstabbing and lazy as she is on the show. She may be a bit out of place in Amstrad but she will go far in the corporate world.

I should say so, her face reveals her obvious contempt for Sir A and his organisation every time he opens his mouth - she just can't help it. My belief is that she's only in this for the media exposure, she must have known that she would never get the job (which is why she doesn't care about insulting everybody - she thinks that she's so desperately witty that some producer will come banging on her door before the series is even over).

Perhaps she could be the next Anne Robinson? A zero-talent who puts down other people and slags off parts of the country she's probably never been to. |

Are you watching a different show?! She hasn't done particularly well at anything - all she's done is kept her head down and tried to stay out of the firing line, which she couldn't get away with this week. She might be gorgeous, but she's seriously lacking in drive, personality and that oomph factor that is needed to win this show.
She's not terrible by any means though. Just not nearly good enough. As SAS said, I think she'd be good in a PA type role for now. |

If they're filmed in one go after they leave the show this could explain how she is willing to appear quite so eye-catchingly rank and vile, if they are filmed at the end of each task then she may not be an idiot but she is foolish as how could she expect to be able to integrate into Amstrad when she had insulted so many of her potential (northern) colleagues? Ah well, the longer she carries on the sweeter the eventual fall. |

Katie hasn't endeared herself to potential northern or orange colleagues.

I think Katie wants a TV career, like Ruth has. That's the real reason she applied to join the show because lets face it, according to her beliefs Sir Alan must be beneath her.
As others have noticed she looks down on him, obviously thinks that he is from the 'C' stream too, and I think isn't necessarily as keen as the others to work for him. |

People like her make me sick and make you wonder if the bigger prejudice is among the working class or the upper class. Also anyone else think Katie applied for the wrong show, she should have applied to Big Brother instead. With a wider audience and her attitude, she could ahve been a contender for most hated person in Britain. |

Katie Clone has already been in Big Brother - 2006 Grace "Pudding Face" Adams. Same unbelieveable self confidence with no discernible basis whatsoever. Oh and same equine facial features too.
Grace was the nearest thing BB7 had to an acceptable leader for everyone but Pete, Bonnie, Suzie and Ash who mostly wouldn't have been around after week 6 if things had progressed naturally. She had what the others wanted in a leader which included confidence. In the Apprentice most people actually seem to think they could do the job better with the possible exception of one or two who think Katie or Kristina are better. I can't see how Katie is objectively any different when they are nearly all too self confident for what we have seen. There hasn't been much evidence yet who is the strongest candidate as they have all made mistakes or done well when making mistakes. Ghazal has made as many right calls as anyone and I don't see how Kristina or Tre or Jadine or Simon are any less confident in abilities we have not seen or in the last three cases we already know they don't have. |

Oh no it rings very true - she wants a career in tv. It's bad enough having 'at the end of the day Badger' keep appearing on TV as a so-called business expert, the thought of 'up her own backside Katie ' is too much to bear.

It is funny how Adam and Katie have been kept in the same team.
Also how they've stuck Jadine, Tre and Naomi together every time. Don't seem to be getting so much mileage out of that one anymore though. |

This lot are definitely the weakest bunch so far.
Remember how many of those stupid fuel cans Syed managed to flog last year and Saira getting the set-top box for free in the first series? None of this bunch has done anything even remotely as impressive. |

I also think Grace's self-confidence was justified, as demonstrated by her performance in Cirque de Celeb, but you probably know that. Currently I prefer Grace to Katie. |
