This assignment has left Christie in the zone of confusion and befuddlement. I think the concept of confusion was addressed by an LC months ago. It can be a cop out - a way of zoning out to avoid paying attention or avoid responsibilty or something like that. I think she really does feel overwhelmed and confused and truly isn't able to hear and understand all the info Rhonda must unload on her about what to do.

I know when I start acting confused that something else is really going on. I'm avoiding my task for some reason. My mind is rarely that fuzzy unless I haven't slept for 2 days or something. Maybe she's channeling what it's like to be intoxicated if she can't have the real thing. Christie has been in that fuzzy zone since she's had the assignment and it's different than her usual sleep/nag/pissed-off cycle of existence.
(edited to say something about the original question. lol)

They have recently squeezed in reasons to have everybody work on the problem. Even Dr Stan's appeal made it sound more like a rating's ploy to me - like why it should mattter to the world of women out here watching. We and the HGs may not give a hoot about Christie but let's get on the bandwagon anyway.

Now they tell Christie to make a check board and to delegate but we've seen she doesn't know more than to transfer the list to the board and she doesn't know how to delegate. She doesn't check in with Niambi to see if she's still able to participate now that she's injured. Instead she gets mad at her. It's Christie's responsibility to delegate and see if the tasks need to be reassigned. Okay Niambi didn't say hi as she walked in the door but you still need to find out if the race is on track. It's still up to you Christie. You can ask. You can do more in life than sit back in judgement.
