I though she did a remarkable job. She handled George pretty good. Although I thought George was more giggly and out of control at times than Brittany and I thought at one point Julie was going to say okay..George stop for a minute...please behave now so I can continue.
Anyway he got a scholarship for one of his girls as a bonus. If I had been Julie, I would have started to cry too. But she didn't. Plus she could've been conniving and said "now tell us George about this RR skit" and showed the "I got blasted" tape. But she didn't CBS probably told her to keep it "UP BEAT" for him.

Julie no matter what....
"YOU ROCK".................

Don't know if she 'rocks' -- but she did an admirable job.

I loved it when Julie said "ok George, the scholarship is for one of your daughters - and you have 10 seconds to decide which one........just kidding!" Now that was funny. And for a split second George was looking at both of his kids - trying to decide which one.

She also was messing with the HG's minds earlier in the show when she said a former HG would come in to visit them. She said the guest would be Mega, then had a long pause before adding, or Jordan, etc. They were starting to freak!

I agree with y'all - Julie cracked me and my husband up last night.
("George, if you want to vote, Teresa has a phone line....no no I'm just kidding")

Maybe she's finally gotten comfortable with her role as "host". Too bad she still has to include that awful bit with the AOL woman.

I'm so happy I found this thread. Julie *was* wonderful last night. It's amazing. And then the four remaining houseguests live after the show...they were letting loose, totally enjoying themselves. (Did anyone else catch them giving George a TRUE roast, with honesty yet affection, especially discussing his spelling habits? It was hilarious!) Again, amazing. Both the live show and the live feeds were really enjoyable. I felt like Julie and the houseguests (after the show) were finally "On." Julie even cut off the AOL woman mid-blather, eliciting a curt, shocked, tight-lipped moue from her. I loved it all.

I was so happy. I came away liking George, with a newfound respect for him. Same with Julie. Same with the four remaining houseguests, including Jamie (shocker!). But then it hit me...this is what it was supposed to be like all along. If Julie had been this comfortable, relaxed and charming...if the houseguests had been this free-spirited and uninhibited...my God, this would have been a totally different show.

I think it's amazing what happened last night once the last remaining parental figure vanished. George tried his best to be one of the kids, but it just didn't work. It's like the last four have been set free...and Julie, too. CBS, I hope you're watching. Next BB--no one over 34!

Casper: This show is scripted , Julie does not call the shots.

She was nervous at first but she has done an increasingly better job as this experiment has progressed. Some have been very harsh with her. I like her. I think she is cute and smart. She is out of her element and working with it. Go Julie!

I forgot to add that I thought her comment that Jamie had nothing on George when it came to makeup was snappy and cute.

I have to agree . . . this was Julie's best show yet. She handled George well and was actually funny at times.

This was Julie's best performance yet, she has finally got the hang of it. Too bad the season is almost over...

I was amazed with Julie last night for the first time she was amiable and likable. I had disliked her sarcasm and condescending attitude in the past. I hope this is a new trend for her and the show.

I just hate it how Julie mentions "this is my favorite part of the show" when the AOL lady mentions conversations on the AOL message boards. That just disgusts me, banish AOL lady next, then Jaimemememe

One other moment that amused me. When AOL lady told her that Jamie's favorite ice cream flavor was bubble gum, Julie blurted out "That was my favorite, too!" I wonder she really meant to associate herself that closely with good ol' jME.

Yeah- I think she did a great job! She didnt seem at all b:tchy! I really enjoyed her chat with George. I enjoyed the show immensely! I loved the little laugh shots montage. That was cute! I liked when Eddie lost his pants! George did a great job even though he was so nervous! I was happy for him! I hope the next show is as good. I Can't wait!!:)

Actually,I thought that George did very well under the circumstances and I also thought that her little "choose which daughter" joke was not at all funny,I thought it was cruel and meanspirited and I don't like George at all,but that doesn't mean that someone has the right to humiliate him or those little girls of his indirectly.
I think that she jerks the houseguests around and don't tell me that she's supposed to..Barbara Walters wouldn't do that...and she had a lot of years doing work similar to Julie's on the Today show.

Hey gang,

If you want to see more Julie Chen threads, go up to the top of the screen, click on Big Brother USA:, then after the new screen appears, click on CBS Talks. You'll see, as you scroll down the list, threads labeled "I Like Julie Chen," "Let's Talk About Julie Chen," etc. Most contain posts quite complimentary to her.

Afterwards, to get back to this board, go up to the top again, click on Big Brother USA:, then click on General.

My favorite was when she referenced the sheet that George was wearing- "We usually don't allow HG to remove things from the house - but in this case, we'll make an exception!"

Yeah, I don't think that's a rule I would have wanted to see enforced at that point. He was already showing too much back :)
