When you watch her make a basic statement, and inexplicably laugh at what she's just said in an effort to raise a smile out of the person she's talking to, that's her attempt to be charming. She just doesn't have it. She's taken it upon herself to ask invasive questions of the other HMs, but this has backfired for the producers because she's so inept and ham-fisted that even the 'aspiring celebrities' (to use a polite term) don't want to talk about themselves while she's there.
Natalie is completely out of her depth in the role they've cast her in.

I agree with this. I do think she has some minor entertainment factor, but it is a very shallow form of entertainment without nothing else to go on beyond a veneer... I don't consider her to be talented at all. I think she has some basic acting skills, but for the most part, can't do much with her fellow HMs aside from scream and yell with no script... she's terrible at baiting as well... unless like you say, she's going after the insecure folk who are easily triggered by any harsh opinion.
I will say her opinion of celebrity was rather enlightening. She seems to have a shallow definition of that as well... I think without social media, she wouldn't even be in the house... making nasty commentary about other people in "the business" is the only way she can remain relevant... but she's desperate to be validated by her supposedly 'non-celebrity' peers, which is quite funny. Basically she's upset that she's not good enough since look at her castmates... |
