Really Randy? Oh dear. Do they call her "our Katie"? I used to laugh when I went to New Zealand and all over the magazines they'd be talking about "Our Rachel". (This was around the time Rachel Hunter had just married Rod Stewart). Tsk.

I don't hate her- I suspect she says what most of us think , minus the nice coating

Really? You must be nice. I don't hate her either she isn't worth it but she certainly doesn't voice any of MY opinions, sugar-coated or not.

I think KH doesn't have an edit button, or that she turns it off deliberately. It's a form of intermittent verbal diarrhoea.
I reckon most of us must have plenty of fairly obnoxious opinions, but most of us A) aren't compulsive about sharing them with the world, B) don't feel strongly about so many things, and C) actually believe that we should self-edit for the sake of sparing feelings or keeping the peace or just because we've learned some humility along the way.

KH doesn't respect other people or organisations, so sees no need to self-edit. And she sees merit in having strong un-repented opinions (whereas I think it's often admirable to have no opinion whatsoever).

I find KH fascinating, but not in an admiring way.

TattyDevine · 08/01/2015 11:03

I've often thought she should be put in a lab and just studied ... Perhaps this is the next best thing!

I had no intention of watching it, I never do, I haven't seen BB since it was on Channel 4...

But now I am watching the "live" launch repeated on Ch5 right now when I should be doing housework. And I fear I may get hooked.

Not really those who stand for nothing fall for anything

afain she was in the army so I would imagin she respects rank the army the queen and has the up most respect for FREEDOM of speech and liberty which is why a you sighn up to porcect I sure she didn't risk life and limb for the crack but I don't no her so she well may have

Personally it's not my style and I. Think her delivery could be better how ever I would rather this to squinting , skirting round issues in a desprate attempt not to offend and sit on the fence type

rumbelina · 08/01/2015 11:48

AgentCooper I agree - she was L-A-M-E, she couldn't improvise at all and her attempts at being bitchy fell flat. She is a total farce.

Nancy66 · 08/01/2015 12:01

she was shocking. Just goes to prove how pre-rehearsed all her ranting is. she really couldn't do off the cuff

agreed she did seem a bit stilted what I don't understand what's with all the face pulling and she looked very thin I thought she had got fat for some show or another weres the weight?

Nancy66 · 08/01/2015 12:06

she put on 4 stone (she claimed - I reckon it was more like one and a half) and lost it all as part of a TV documentary

Lottapianos · 08/01/2015 12:12

Glad she's falling on her face already. I can't get it up to be angry about anything she says because its clearly just a constructed persona to rile people. What a very sad way to live your life.

lljkk · 08/01/2015 13:14

May not be reliable source, but KH was asked who she admired. She came up with Boris Johnson, Jeremy Paxman & after a long time Mrs. Thatcher. QE2 not on the list!

Yes I suppose she does respect Freedom of speech. Is there anything on her twitter feed about Charlie H?

It'll be interesting to see if anyone notices a bitchy mumsnetter being awfully quiet over the next few weeks Wink

GlitzAndGigglesx · 08/01/2015 13:38

I can't believe I'm saying this but after watching her show my opinion changed a bit of her. The woman can cry!!! And she suffers with epilepsy which can ruin some people's day to day lives. Having said that she's not the type of person I'd like to be friends with

Yes I suppose she does respect Freedom of speech. Is there anything on her twitter feed about Charlie H?*how can there be she's in the bb house Confused

And on the point of who people admire some admire ed milliband that's far more worrying

lljkk · 08/01/2015 14:44

there seems to be stuff from her on her twitter feed in last few days, last 24 hours, even. Or maybe that's just my pants mis-grasping of how to read twitter timestamps.

I don't watch CBB, so don't know anything about how much outside world access they get.

lljkk · 08/01/2015 16:44

I stand corrected, KH has been tweeting Je Suis Charlie.

CarbeDiem · 08/01/2015 19:05

I really wouldn't be shocked if she had someone writing on there on her behalf because she doesn't think of the stuff puts there.

We've seen her in interviews she tends to spout the first thing that comes to her brain and repeat repeat repeat.

I give you the comment about kids with 'place' names..... when her own daughter has one :)

Karenthetoadslayer · 08/01/2015 21:12

Is it just me or does KH use MN terminology?

honeypie10 · 08/01/2015 21:27

I heard her say Norks karenthetoadslayer I nearly gagged, but I've only ever heard that on here, surely she must come on here to read stuff about herself, its her favourite topic so why wouldn't she.

Personally I cant stand to watch her, all the head wobbling, face pulling and over exaggerating of words grates on me.

lljkk · 08/01/2015 21:38

You know the recent MN thread about girls wearing boy shoes to school?
That night on R5L KH was saying what her DD replied, when hassled at school about wearing boy shoes. (Fairly admirable reply, actually).

Sorry, but she's definitely among us!!

honeypie10 · 08/01/2015 21:42

Oooooh I wonder who it is?

Has anyone seen worra about come to think of it. Some of her replies always remind me a bit of devils advocate KH.

dottytablecloth · 09/01/2015 04:56

Did anyone else think KH seemed a bit drunk on the launch show?

Possibly it's just me but when she was watching the other contestants go in, she just seemed to be rambling slightly strangely.

Does she always do those weird facial expressions and wide eye thing?
