Celebrity Apprentice

I'm intrigued by Marlee Matlin's use of a male interpreter on Celebrity Apprentice.  When Matlin speaks, we hear a male voice.  I think this is really interesting from a gender studies perspective.  Does the male voice give her a more authoritative "voice"?  Does this add credence to her thoughts and opinions?  Getting real answers to these questions would involve an in-depth study.  However, it is interesting to note your own personal reactions to hearing a male voice, and then realizing it's the blonde woman's words.  Any thoughts on this topic?
