I used to like her. She was sharp but veryfunny. I particularly liked her self-deprecating humour - because as nasty as she sometimes was to others, she was vicious about herself. I remembr a skit she did about aging, many years ago. About the way everything shifts downwards - now she looks down and thinks, twelve toes!
In later years she started to irritate me sometimes. She could still be funny, but a lot of the time when she was being nasty about people it was just nasty and not very funny. Easy targets like Adele, because y'know - fat. Not said in a funny or clever way - just that she's fat. *shrugs* But I don't believe the later stuff negates the humour of the earlier stuff. Incidentally: I'm curious about why that show in particular made you feel 'home'sick?

I remember they showed here, only last year I think it was, the edition of Celebrity Apprentice that she won. I don't think that and her antics in it did her any favours, especially as it was revealed soon after that she was about to be broadcasting a series that was sponsored/financed by Trump - definitely a good, old conflicting interest situation there, then! This aside it's hard to criticise someone who kept going so long and did so so successfully. A cry of 'follow that' could well find itself bouncing off the walls of an empty room devoid of any worthy takers.
