Compliment them to their faces
Even though you’ve been, on the sidelines, criticizing the winner, you’re so sweet to her face. You’re all hugs, smiles, and congratulatory comments. You offer to celebrate with her—“We need to get a drink and celebrate!” you say—and you even start listing all of the wonderful things you know this win will do for her career. To her face, you’re her biggest cheerleader.
