I think it's ridiculous that she had all that time to talk to her parents and think about how she'd go about moving and she left it to the last minute! Just doesn't add up!

Did anyone see her on the Apprentice - You're Fired? If so what did you think of her?

Thought she came across really badly!

What sort of a plant though? One who works for the Met Office in Exeter and doesn't mind the fact that her personal life has been all over the tabloids? It doesn't make sense.

Or that the person she was working for was called Mavis!

She would have had a formal interview with the programme production team before filming started at which point it would have been made clear to her that if she won then she would have to move to London.

Is Katie the new Badger....didn't win but is on TV every night of the week

Maybe if she had done a bit of research then she would have known where Sir Alan is based!

Well she must have known she would be working in London so I dont buy the moving the family could be a problem. She obviously didnt want the job at Amstrad and perhaps she was told if she won she would have to see out the whole of the contract.

All of a sudden she didnt seem to be as ruthless as she claimed to be and that doesnt sit right with me.

Seemed very strange to me, as a young lady as bright as Katie must have known she wouold relocate when she applied for the apprentice. Loved the programme 'Your Fired' - she was taken apart, deservedly

Katie filled out her application form for Big Brother but her Mum sent it to The Apprentice by mistake

Katie only wanted the fame and had no intention of taking the job, everyone could see that and the only person to give her the benefit of the doubt was Sir Alan even though he had been told by the interviewer's. Kristina's expressions were classic - showed just what everyone was thinking.

The comment about asking her parents was only an excuse, surely that would already have been discussed.

For someone supposed to be so cleaver why does she use sex so much to get ahead?

Something must have been said at the interview stage where it became apparent that Katie had no intention of staying with Amstrad if she was picked as the Apprentice. Maybe they came to a compromise decision where no one lost face - what is known in management speak as a win-win situation.
It certainly made for water cooler television.

It was acting on all sides, she should get a BAFTA.

The apprentice is an 'entertainment show' after all.

Ratings winner - put someone in place who is very controversial and people will tune in!

It was so weird last night, something is definitely not right there.
1) Why, if Sir Alan suspected she would back out, take such a risk.
2) Does Katie now have the ability to say 'I turned down Sir Alan Sugar?
3) Why on earth would she back down given her previous behaviour. Totally out of character.

I am not a happy bunny!

I also thought the fact that she flirts so outrageously shows that she seriously doubts her own ability, and probably doesn't have much self-confidence. When that army bloke was interested she went to him in a shot, with no consideration for her own career. To me that smacks of someone desperately insecure.

She can say she is the only person so far to have said "Sir Alan, you're fired." Well it's a bit of a claim to fame I suppose.

I agree completely!

Do you think Katie will try and ruin things for Kristina - (if she is in her team next week!).

Yeah, the final must be so tough for the finalists, knowing they are working with people who may well just want to torpedo their chances.

Did anyone see Katie in next week's trailer though? I couldn't spot her...

No, I only saw Naomi and Adam on Kristina's team and Rory, Tre and Jadine on Simon's team.

I think Sir Alan called her bluff - he put into the final to see her reaction - he could still of told her that she's fired if he didn't like what he saw

Apparently she had no intention of working forAS she wanted the publicity.I agree with your comments that is what I thought last night

especially if you're already earning a huge amount - why would you relocate your entire family for an extra 10k a year???
