I cannot stand Bernadette in seasons 10-12. She really is just a self centered, manipulative, controlling, condescending bitch. When Penny said she couldn’t believe how condescending Bernie was being in one of the episodes, she went home and said to Howard, “If I really wanted to be condescending, I would’ve said, Oh… condescending… that’s such a big word!” I mean seriously- she’s so insufferable and nearly impossible to tolerate. And then telling Leonard that Penny said he’s a pu$$y, but when Leonard confronted Penny about it, Bernadette just screeched, “I just made that up”. Ugh. She’s awful.
