Apprentice loser slams 'two-faced' female rivals
Related Articles
17 May 2007
Fired Apprentice Ghazal Asif, the ninth person to leave the BBC1 series, has stuck the boot into her female rivals.
She said: "You don't have to be a b***h to succeed in business."
The latest task saw the teams compete to design and develop a new trainer brand.
Project manager Ghazal, a 23-year-old Glaswegian, was on the losing side with arch-enemies Katie Hopkins and Kristina Grimes.

Ghazal Asif couldn't hide her disdain for the remaining female Apprentice contestants
And in a swipe at single mother Kristina, she said: "I absolutely think Kristina is more two-faced than Katie. But I feel sorry for her - if I was 35 and still relying on reality TV for a job, I'd be pretty miserable. Poor soul, she's tried so hard for so long..."
Katie has become the contestant viewers love to hate.
In episode, she took control of the task and rubbished everyone else's ideas, leaving the others wondering if she is deliberately trying to undermine Ghazal and get her fired.
Ghazal said: "I think I was naive about people who were maybe a bit scheming. It is certainly more challenging when you're trying to lead a team and there's so much bitching going on.

Kristina Grimes and Katie Hopkins were both the subject of a scathing attack by Ghazal Asif
"I trusted Katie 110%. During the show I loved her, I thought she had such an energy about her and really enjoyed working with her.
"She certainly wasn't saying awful things to people's faces, but looking back at her comments, I think 'Flipping hell!' It's a shame because Katie is still the most competent female in the house, but she said some vindictive things.
"I don't know for a fact whether she was scheming against me though, so I wouldn't want to say bad things about her."
But she added: "At the end of the day, The Apprentice is entertainment. The people who are the most entertaining will get the most airtime. Then there are people like me who get their heads down and get on with it.
"It was important for me to be true to myself. I don't think you have to be a bitch to get on in business."
Ghazal backed Tre Azam to win the show. She said: "I would love to see Tre win. He's brilliant. He was my motivational coach in the house - when I was exhausted he would say 'Come on, you can do this'.
"He's such a good character, very competitive and very talented. The thing with Tre is that he's honest. Looking at people like Katie and Kristina, they're two-faced. With Tre, what you see is what you get."
Ghazal has now landed a job with a global IT company based in London.
She still intends to be a millionaire by the time she is 30.
"My new job will build my experience and commercial skills. If I do that until I'm 25, I'll still have five years to become a millionaire," she said.
