Check out many of the anti-posts. Those posters sure think they are funny in wishing her dead.

What's the difference, exactly? They hide behind anonymity. Katie doesn't.
Others may do that, I certainly don't. I agree some posters will take things to far, but that doesn't change the fact that Katie is an throughly unpleasent individual.

BTW, I might not like your taste in candidates, but i totally love your user name...

Can the northeners find another thread please.
Well that says it all about you doesn't it. You've probably never even set foot in the North.

I liked her for the first few weeks until the personal attacks on Adam and Kristina. She has succeeded in making the most boring applicant in the show ever attractive to a large number of viewers.

She is too far up her own @rse to win this show!! She seems to look down her nose at everyone....and she needs to take those marbles out of her mouth.....oh, and she resembles a horse!!
A horrid individual allround IMO

I Like Katie and want her to win...though i do feel she lost it a bit last week, she could have handled it a bit better and come out completly on top. (Adam is hardly a difficult one to get the mental jump on)

People putting comments like they "want to kill her" is 100% pathetic. it is an enetertainment TV show, please chill out and grow up.

What grates on me is that the same people who criticise her for her comments are the ones that resort to childish comments about Katie - she's a horse, she's a beetroot, her cheeks bulge etc etc. For goodness sake find something substantial to criticise. You must all be such gorgeous creatures yourselves.

You have to admit that she completely ran rings around Adam (slow slow slow) and she didn't start the personal attack, he did by referring to her missing Paul, she just retaliated (and boy did she retaliate - Mr Pinot and Mr Grigio). She is articulate and intelligent and of course is great tv.

Everyone says she's a back stabber, how has she stabbed anyone in the back? All of her comments have been to the camera, that's not affecting anyone in the house is it?

If anyone is 2 faced - it is Kristina. When Naomi was PM she was nice and friendly to her face, but in the car was scathing about her abilities. With Adam she was again very scathing and forthright in her desire to get rid of him - behind his back. And let's not forget it was she who grassed to SAS.

Oh and as a southerner now living in the north, you northerners are pretty judgemental about us southerners, so come on get off your pedestals here.

Katie for the win, to be sure...

Definitely the one with the biggest balls and most all-round ability.

A few rough edges such as her cheek, but that would never come across to people she's doing business with, and even the haters know that....

The fact that she has been on the loosing side 6 out of 8 times so far, surely confirms that she is a LOOSER!!

How can any team win with Paul,Ghastley and Adam ( Nomi is a plank as well ) as team members??? If Adam had enough intelligence to read the instructions they would have won last week.

This week was very interesting, looking at the ads i was suprised katies group didnt win. More than suprised, i smell a fishy ( as tre would say ).

Yet another great comic turn tho by our girl, i am definetly smitten.

Okay I know a few people dislike but surely there's got to be some more fans other than me who thinks she's the best one off the whole show. We were watching this week's episode at school today because I was out on Wednesday night and it seems that everyone who looked at the TV commented on how much they hate Katie.

So come on for those who thinks she's great, let's show our support.

Also just to clarify I'm not some kind of nutcase who likes horrible people. I hated Grace, Lisa, Sezar, Saskai, Maxwell, Victor, Jason, BB5 Vanessa so that shows I like good people. I supported Aisleyne too. So come people lets give Katie the appreciation she deseeves.
Well, it shows you dislike ones it's popular to dislike.

I'm surprised that an Aisleyne fan would like Katie, but I'm glad to hear one does. The more the better!

I don't see why so many have a problem with her at all, tbh. She's one of the more likeable people in the show!

I seriously wonder what planet some people are on in this forum.

I found Katie very funny tonight when she was having a go about Kristina and came out with that crack about her skirt.

To me it seemed rehearsed and from the expression on her face, I felt that she was definitely playing to the gallery.

This made me wonder whether some of her more outrageous comments to camera were deliberately set up for effect, e.g. the ones about wishing Adam and Kristina dead.

Katie's success tonight was in spotting a nonsensical idea which was one up on Naomi and Kristina who still couldn't see it at the end. If SAS wants someone who thinks up a logo by thinking of a word unrelated to any concept and then comes up with a concept unrelated to the word Kristina and Naomi seem to be his choice. Ghazal is smarter - she eventually does see a bad idea when she's committed to it.

Katie though probably has her cards marked for liking the advert when SAS doesn't. As an advert based on a bad idea that needs a better logo and more views of it, she's right, as it looks good . But that misses the very point SAS said at the beginning he wanted them to focus on - message and impact rather than looking good. SAS doesn't do puns either - too sophisticated for him.

Tre got the big ideas right - though you still wouldn't buy a car from him. Simon showed versatility. Jadine won inspite of herself again. Lohit was invisible again. Simon and Tre are looking stronger?

Which of them had the poor idea of having "Street" in large letters on the side? It could be excused only as irony, but if SAS doesn't do puns, does irony appeal? Not that they were doing it ironically, of course.

I liked it that Katie didn't seem intimidated by SAS. She seemed the most comfortable, out of any of them, talking with him. And had to think quickly to parry his attacks.

I thought that Sugar seemed to regard her with dislike and distaste that he couldn't be bothered to conceal in the boardroom.

The ad agency people didn't seem much better. I wonder why. It's not as if the other side's ideas or production were all that good, yet they got a far more courteous response. I wasn't impressed by that.

I think the show is now playing to the public dislike for Katie.

I agree; maybe he was feigning it or playing it up. That could even be why she was kept in, for she makes 'good television', and the You're Fired show in particular is feeding that and setting her up as the villain of the piece.

Having just read through the anti-Katie thread mentioned above, I'm confirmed that there are some very easily-provoked people posting in this forum. Vile, horrible, dreadful: I just don't see these qualities in Katie. Her performance in the tasks has been generally good, she's amused us all with her deliberately outspoken comments and she's maintained her composure throughout under some pretty strong provocation from Sugar and the hard-as-nails Kristina. On a personal note, she'd be better and more civilised company than any of the other remaining contestants except Lohit and Simon. Once she leaves, the series will effectively be dead for me. Tre is a less colourful version of Syed, Naomi is this year's Michelle, Simon is like a large schoolboy and Jadine is throughly unlikeable. For what it's worth, Lohit will win; but we'd love it to have been Katie (so she could chuck Sugar's matchstick-counting job back in his over-hirsute face).

I like Katie. The comments she comes out with are priceless and i'm always shocked at what she says. I thought her performance in the boardroom last week was amazing in that she's not afraid to say what she thinks. She does do a lot of bitching to the camera but ultimately last week she completely let her feelings (of hate) for Adam show.

Despite popular opinion, I think she is a good business woman and has shown this on a number of occasions. Sure, she has made mistakes (i.e. the soft sell idea) but I thought she shone in the negotiation task. This week I felt she was very strong and the only one who came up with a plan that could have potentially saved the task. She also appeared organised and in control when it came to the advertising- choosing the pic, booking the singer etc when all Kristina and Naomi could was sit around and complain.

Also, I don't know how people can criticise her for saying what she says and then make nasty comments about her looks. It makes them no better than her imho.
