I haven't seen S2 or S3 yet but I was under the impression that someone called 'Kate' or 'Katie' was about the most depised person (with the possible exception of MS) from all the series.

Yet in the harm and hurt game there is only one 'Kate' or 'Katie' and she seems to be doing quite well.

Could some kind soul enlighten me?

Katie was a candidate in serris 3 and was offered a place in the final but didn't go through after Sir Alan realised her heart wasn't in the job she went onto appear in im a celebrity get me out of here last year

Yes that's who I thought she was (I've read about her here).

But she seemed to have been on of the most despised characters ever and yet she seems to be second in the 'harm and heal' game.

Just seems very inconsistent.

She polarised opinion really. Lots of people hated her, but i really liked her. She didin't suffer fools gladly and remains, to this day, one of the most competant all round candidates ever seen on the apprentice.
