Just that really.

I'm watching the apprentice final and just noticed she is 24, yes she is a beautiful lady but I'm shocked at the fact she's 24!

I don't find fake faces shot full of Botox and crap gorgeous at all.

Lj8893 · 17/07/2013 22:05

I don't know many 24 year olds with immobile foreheads!

She has a medical degree and has completed one full year of working as a Doctor. She has not completed her second year. Hardly the expert she professes to be.

squalorvictoria · 17/07/2013 22:06

I agree she looks ten years older than she is, and it's all down to the Botox, fillers and duckface.

Why is everyone discussing this woman's appearance? Why does it matter that she isn't beautiful or gorgeous? I thought 'The Apprentice' was about business skills and entrepeneurial flair?

And she certainly could be a 'certifiable dr' at 24, if by that you mean could she be committed to a psychiatric unit - but if you actually meant 'is she old enough to have qualified as a doctor at 24?', then the answer is yes. Many doctors qualify at the age of 23 after 5 years training at medical school.

WipsGlitter · 17/07/2013 22:07

I do!!

expatinscotland · 17/07/2013 22:11

Because when you work in the cosmetic procedure your looks are your business. She looks fake - fake blond hair, fake hair extensions and a face that looks shot full of synthetic crap.

saintmerryweather · 17/07/2013 22:12

we are discussing her appearance because appearance is exactly what her business is about. she isnt a great advert for it, unless you are demonstrating how much is too much

Lj8893 · 17/07/2013 22:12

Thankyou lapsed, I wasent aware of the qualification age etc for doctors, hence why i asked the question. Sorry I didn't ask it correctly.

I think she looks lovely. I also think she came across really well on the apprentice. She's obviously very intelligent and switched on, and not at all obnoxious, unlike the others.

LimitedEditionLady · 17/07/2013 22:15

Shes not unattractive but i think shes made herself look older with that very generic face.but hey she looks nice seems a nice girl who am i to judge x

amandine07 · 17/07/2013 22:20

YANBU I was surprised to see that she's 24...which makes her over 10 years younger than me Shock

I thought she was much closer to 30.

This ^^

She's not selling herself as a model. I don't know why people are getting stuck in about her appearance?

I don't see anyone commenting on Alan Sugar's looks.

AKissIsNotAContract · 17/07/2013 22:37

Her appearance matters because she is selling Botox and fillers. Would you go to a dentist with no teeth?

WhistlingNun · 17/07/2013 22:37

I think she's beautiful.

But more importantly, i think she's intelligent, respectful, graceful and sensible.

A fantastic role model, to be honest.

I couldn't care less if she sticks bits of fake hair to her head or even a strand of loo roll tubes.

I echo what other people have said: Sir Alan is now equal to her in this business venture. Why has no one commented on the fact he looks 'old' while he is trying to sell anti-wrinkle injections?

Why is it always females who are judged on their looks?

I've seen tons of it this year on here. Lots of people calling the Apprentice (female) candidates all sorts because of their choice of makeup/clothes/hair styles etc.

Yet a tiny amount of people have expressed similar opinions about the male candidates. Alex's eyebrows, the amount of hair gel they all use, their choice of suits... blah blah blah.

I think a lot of it comes down to bitterness and jealousy to be honest. No one who was happy with their own appearance would bother critising other people's. Some people just like to bring down others in an attempt to make themselves feel better (not directed at any one on this thread by the way, i'm just getting out all my ranty rage on this subject now that this season of the Apprentice is finally over as are hopefully all the threads bashing the women's looks )

WorraLiberty · 17/07/2013 22:42

No it doesn't matter.

What matters is her intelligence and business brain when it comes to selling them.

And yes I would got to a dentist with no teeth if he/she were a skilled dentist.

I'd also go to a Midwife/HV who has no children and a gynecologist who doesn't have a vagina.

At least these threads serve a purpose I suppose. We can point MNetters to them when they start blaming men and the media, for women having low self confidence when it comes to appearance.

Lj8893 · 17/07/2013 22:42

I wasent meaning to criticise her looks, was just saying how shocked i was at the fact she's 24! As in my opinion she does look older, and also comes across alot older.

But then again I'm 25 and get the opposite, constantly asked for Id, always assumed to be the younger sibling (my brother is 22) and no amount of make up covers up my apparent baby face!! my mahoosive breasts usually give me away though

OP posts:
Lj8893 · 17/07/2013 22:45

Also, I didn't intend for this thread to become an appearance bashing thread!!

OP posts:
JamieandtheMagicTorch · 17/07/2013 22:45

She looks older because she looks like a 35 year old who has misguidedly used botox and fillers. Such a shame. Bugger all that's ethical about it, imo

JamieandtheMagicTorch · 17/07/2013 22:47

I like her intelligence and the fact she's so articulate and calm. Shame about the fact she's ruining her beauty.

WorraLiberty · 17/07/2013 22:48

Sorry OP I didn't think you started the thread for it to deliberately go that way. Hope you don't think that's what I was saying.

It's just that these threads tend to end up that way...full of insults about women's looks.

WafflyVersatile · 17/07/2013 22:49

I have no idea who she is but most women on telly from about 18 to 45 look 36. It's the ideal age apparently.

sleepdodger · 17/07/2013 22:50

If you saw the people behind apprentice programme the other night she has always looked like that as had her sister...

AKissIsNotAContract · 17/07/2013 22:52

It's more of an insult about her misuse of Botox and fillers. I wouldn't go to her for treatment as I'd be worried she'd mess my face up like she has her own.
