I don't understand why everyone wants to attack Julie Chen. She has great television presence and does a good job hosting. I'm sure she had a serious talk with Brit after the incident on Wed, but I don't think she's going to start a catfight over it on national TV. She has to be objective and responsible and, so far, she has done that. She deserves more credit than people are giving her during this whole "hatefest" of a show.

Julie Chen seems embarassed about hosting the show- wounded by the jibes from the media crits, perhaps?
She's Larry King "lite" with her questions to the banished HG but she sure looks great in red!

Tuk: Actually something we do agree on which scares me. I think we are giving her a hard time but she has to go by what is written and no ad lib when she feels like it. I read an article that said she was embarrassed about this whole BB thing. I'm sure CBS put it in her contract when she started doing the news that they would be able to put her on another show if they were wanted to do it. She probably saw the BB challenge as something that would boost her career. I don't blame her for doing it. She has no way out unless she breaks that contract. I think she is doing a good job under the circumstances and she does have a very good presence. I also finally got to see her do the news while waiting for the Britt inteview and she did GREAT!

Hey don't be so hard on her everyone. I would like to see you do a better job. I think she's doing the best she can with such a horrible situation. Any one and I do mean ANY ONE is better than AOL lady. I could do better if I had laryngitis and could hardly talk. She is a goof!

aughh! i have to agree with tuk too on this one. the job isn't easy. she didn't know brit would even be on until the HGs turned down the money. she was prepared to interview beth about going in at greater length.

the show can change like that, at a moments notice, any week. she's not doing that badly that she deserves all the criticism here.

I agree that too many people are giving Julie Chen a bad rap. I'm sure she is doing the best job possible given the constraints Big Brother, Endemol, and CBS are giving her. Julie definately does not deserve all the criticism heaped on her.
