Please fire Katie - horrible women.

InTheseShoes · 09/05/2007 21:56

I really hope that Sralan has seen the arse of Katie now, she's a real cow.

Poor Adam

Twiga · 09/05/2007 21:57

Poor Adam - maybe next week Katie will get her come uppance, really nasty!

Merlin · 09/05/2007 21:57

Don't think Katie will make it to the end - she can't bite her tongue can she?

RTKangaMummy · 09/05/2007 21:58

OOOh that anti-northern comment from Katie made me v cross - she showed herself up the snotty red-faced snob!

Twiga · 09/05/2007 22:00

Hopefully not, I think she'll shoot herself in the foot trying to stab everyone else in the back - what was with her comments about Adams drinking?!

UCM · 09/05/2007 22:08

Was it me or did Naomi calling out 'bossman' bossman' at the tiling supliers make you want to knock her out, dreadful woman.

Now Katie & Christina, I was soooooo impressed by the way that they put their 'ishoos' aside and done the job.

However, Katie would be the boss from hell. Imagine telling her you had to take a day off becaue your child had measles - I would hate her as my boss and would get fired because of it.

Christina, not sure yet, Gazelle is a soppy bird, but would be nice as a boss I feel.

Jadine, will go and will not be the apprentice, too much attitude.

Lohit, nice but not sure if too nice.

Project leader on winning team, can't remember his name, ok

I like Tre, he is upfront and would be a good member of a team, but not sure as a manager. Not subtle enough.

Naomi is sick making.

Presumably Sralan is party to other footage as well as what is said in the Boardroom - if I were him, I would be thinking seriously about the effect of Katie managing any element of my staff who might be from gasp North of the Watford Gap. Her sneering, supercillious attitude is very unpleasant.

Funnily enough, I don't feel the same way about Christina - I'm not sure why. I suspect the winner will be someone like Lohit or Tre.

There is a girl on the programme, I think she's called Naomi, who simply has not registered at all on the programme, also Jadine seems to be off the radar.

UCM · 09/05/2007 22:10

In fact I wouldn't employ any of them, I don't even like Nick or Margaret, they are grasses

UCM · 09/05/2007 22:11

ROFL KT, poor adam thinking they were bunny shit you put on astro turf

mosschops30 · 09/05/2007 22:15

God I hate that Katie, where does that red face come from, is she permanently on the piss or what.

Adam deserved to go, but shame she couldnt go with him, the snotty bitch

UCM · 09/05/2007 22:19

No I think she got red cos she got angry. I saw Christinas face drop a tad when Sralan grassed her up as the person who told him she shagged Cpt. Mannering. Also I noticed that Katie mentioned it in her coming home speech.

mosschops30 · 09/05/2007 22:20

i actually quite like Christina, i dont care she grassed up Katie for porking that posh twerp!!

TinyGang · 09/05/2007 23:18

I like Christina (or is it Kristina?) too.

Lordy that Katy is a little madam isn't she?! What a dreadful woman she is...but didn't she go RED Hahaha!

speedymama · 10/05/2007 09:08

My goodness, this series just gets better and better. The mauling that poor, beleaguered and hapless Adam received from that Rottweiler Katie was incendiary TV. She was so red I thought she was going to spontaneously ignite.

It was inevitable that Adam had to go but I was hoping Sralan would fire the blank non-entity Gazelle. She is so irrelevant and contributes nothing. Even when she was project manager a few weeks ago she demonstrated emphatically that she could not inspire a starving dog to chew a bone.

Katie, what can one say? She is a snob, condenscending to anyone who is not from the Home Counties, especially if they are north of Surrey. The Pinot Grichot comment was said with such sneering vemom that even Sralan was lost for words. She called Christina an evil wench in the car - boy is Christina in for it now. Cruella Deville's wrath and venom will be transferred to her now that wee Adam is gone. Sralan has sussed her out already. She is like a black widow spider - she'll stab you in the back when you least expect it whilst at the same time smiling meekly and looking you straight in the eyes. Awful woman.

The only real contenders to win are Tre, Lohip and Christina. My personal choice is Lohip because he knows how to build rapport, he understands how to convey the benefits of a product or a service to a customer and above all, he treats people with respect. If Tre could be more concilatory towards others and show more empathy rather than brusque arrogance, he would win outright. At the moment he is too confrontational and his haughty narcissism and pompous, dismissive attitude towards weaker team members are not the attributes of an incisive, effective leader.

Gizmo · 10/05/2007 09:24

Nope, sorry, although I'm the only person in the country to feel this way I like Katie.

She's a fighter, and good at it, and in it to win. None of which does her any harm with me.

When she gets angry - justifiably in my opinion - she says what she feels, and she'll say it to people's face if needed. So I'm not sure where the idea that she is two faced has come from (mind you I haven't seen all the episodes so I might be missing something). She has the wit and presence of mind to come up with spontaneous and relevant comments that can shrivel people up, but honestly, I think most people who are mad enough to go on the apprentice deserve to be shrivelled; they certainly have egos which can take it.

All I saw in the boardroom last night was a very angry woman who for once, didn't cry, didn't fluster, didn't beg, but actually made mincemeat of an idiot who was bullshitting wildly in an attempt to wriggle out of a tight corner. I mean, he tried lying to Sralan, FGS! What sort of a numpty does that?

UnquietDad · 10/05/2007 09:37

I'm assuming they weren't allowed access to Google, or they'd have found it in about 20 seconds what Nigella seeds were.

TinyGang · 10/05/2007 09:44

I don't think Adam was lying.

I really think he just got very mixed up with all that was being chucked at him.

Although I don't like Katy, I must say I have a grudging respect for the way she doesn't crumble under fire and she comes out with some hilarious but completely poisonous lines. She is awful though...it's when she puts those eyebrows up..

UnquietDad · 10/05/2007 09:45

I don't have a problem with them being ruthless - it's a contest, after all, and they are business people. What I detest about katie is the smug, sanctimonious, snobbish way she puts her views over. That "cat got the cream" smile was so smackable. No matter how good her business skills, she is not someone I could work with on apersonal level.

wannaBeWhateverIWannaBe · 10/05/2007 09:47

Katie is ghastly. and there is no way I would employ her. Sir Alan has her card marked though "today you showed your true colours" ain't that the truth. And I think he has her card marked and will be getting rid of her as soon as poss.

I think adam made a valid point last night on the after show - he said "I think he liked me, otherwise I think he would have fired me a long time ago" and I think he's right. I think Adam had to go last night, but I think he's not a bad sort - is apparently working to support his sister and her child who live with him.

LadyMacbeth · 10/05/2007 09:50

Imagine if a non-Brit had got fired last night and Katie said, "good, he can bugger off back to (e.g. France) and back to his French chums," now that would be seen as racist. And I think her contempt for people from Northern England is as low and as unforgivable as rascism. Which it is, basically.

I think she is hideous and wouldn't work for her for any money in the world.

amexonfire · 10/05/2007 09:50

Katie is a sneering, insincere and duplicitous hag. All she's shown so far is how she can mesmerise people with her evil eye contact into dropping prices and that's about it. If she had half the charm she believes she had she might be a decent person and - my god - WHY does she insist on slipping in them fancy diamante hairslides for the boardroom??? HOW OLD IS SHE? !

speedymama · 10/05/2007 09:53

Gizmo, if you have not seen all the episodes, then I can understand the hero worship. I liked Katie in the first episode and hated Tre. By episode 3, that position was reversed. Please note, nobody is criticising her for her strength or intelligence or guile. It is her duplicity, her sneering condescension, her haughty, superior snobbery and so forth. Those are the the attributes of someone who can lead, motivate and inspire a team.
