What sort of show would she get?
She isn't the going to failing businesses and putting them right type like Ruth Badger.
She hasn't got a background in journalism like Vanessa Feltz or a background in politics like Amanda Platell to be used as a commentator or 'rent a quote'.
However high an opinion she has of herself when it comes down to it, she is an ex reality TV show contestant who is known for being a bit of a bitchy backstabber - where can that get you in the longer term when the novelty wears off?

I agree, she has no applicable talents. And in addition she is not a 'real character' or someone 'we love to hate'. She is just a deeply unpleasant person with (for me) no redeeming features.

Here's a handy rule of thumb: virtually anyone who has a "relationship" on a "reality" TV show is a fake contestant / plant / whatever you want to call it. The more integral the "relationship" is to the narrative arc of the show, the more likely this rule is to hold true. The more "that's a bit odd" scenes that character is involved in, the more likely this rule is to hold true. The more the satellite shows seek to build the character up as a hero or a villain, the more likely this rule is to hold true.

Where this rule holds true, there's a fair chance that a follow up "reality" show is on the cards featuring this character. So the question is: will Paul feature in Katie's show?

At least The Apprentice isn't taking your money in phone votes.

Maybe she could play the wicked witch in Pantomime.

I just didn't understand how someone could get so far in a competition like that and not have even thought to make contingency plans of what to do with the kids if she won. It just doesn't make sense. It must have been planned.

Sorry if this has already been posted, but has anyone else seen the Sun today? Theres an interview with Ghazal in it where she talks about Katie's resignation-she says that katie told producers half way through the show that she wanted to go, and that they basically had to sort out how to go about it.

She also makes other comments about the apprentice and how fake she thinks it is etc etc...oh and how she obviously didnt even want the job anyway...
