The woman who made a career out of being outrageous and saying and doing crazy things can't answer a simple question, two tasks in a row? Look, I know she's not the sharpest tool in the shed but she seems shell-shocked in the boardroom and out of her league.
To me, that's the biggest surprise from the first episode....how meek and frozen Snookie appears.
Yeah, if she doesn't start speaking up she will be going very soon!!
shareI don't think she's speechless....she just had a very hard time throwing anyone under the bus, which is actually pretty smart. Most of the time, when Trump (or Arnold) ask a contestant who should be fired.....the contestant answers, thus IMMEDIATELY making an enemy within their team.....someone who will from that point forward hold a grudge. Note to contestants: You don't HAVE to answer that question! You can avoid it, strategically and artfully....by simply saying: "I think everyone did their best. I'd be hard-pressed to single anyone out. I'm sorry."
Snookie essentially did that, but it was just a bit clunky in how she did it. But it was smart. You come across as a stand-up person that way, rather than throwing someone under the bus....which doesn't really help your cause unless you have no other choice (back against the wall--them or you).
Snookie was definitely not speechless or timid. Even in the small amount of footage we saw, she spoke-up, made off-color jokes....and even called out the PM in the boardroom (calling it "bull____" for bringing her back into the boardroom). She will be just fine. I think Arnold actually likes her moxie.
That's an interesting take but she needs to be more aggressive and proactive at some point. As I think Arnold himself even said, you can't hide and fake your way to the finals by hiding in the background.
"This is dead air, Barry....dead air."
