« You are terminated! » But also, you know, « Get to the choppa! »

The 69-year-old actor spoke his famous lines after narrowing down the chopping block to « Jersey Shore’s » Nicole « Snooki » Polizzi, « Real Housewives of Atlanta » star Porsha Williams and TV host Carrie Keagan.
« I really thought that Carrie, you participated the least in the whole thing. Maybe you’ve watched previous shows, [referring to former « Apprentice » host Donald Trump’s run on the reality series] and those that were quiet stayed on for a longer period of time, but that’s not the way I handle things. Who is taking the most risk, is who it really comes down to. So therefore, Carrie, you are terminated, » Schwarzenegger said in true « Terminator » fashion, before tacking on another gem from « Predator »: « Now, get to the choppa. »
ET caught up with the former California governor in November, where he dished on taking on Trump’s famous role as the 70-year-old businessman takes on the Oval Office.

« I’ve been governor twice in California, and now to go and go to this is terrific for me. And for him, it’s great to go from this to politics, » Schwarzenegger said. « The bottom line is, the country, America, where do you have the possibilities to do that many things? Only in America. »
« This is a whole new challenge — something that I’ve never done before, so this is really wonderful, » he continued. « And I think with the characters that they’ve picked there will be major drama. »
The « New Celebrity Apprentice » premieres airs Mondays on NBC.
