What a great director they had running Big Brother 3's Live eviction tonight.

Making suttle yet obvious mistakes such as this one I caught.

When Julie announced that Lori was evicted and Lori was getting up they didn't cut Julie's mic off and you could hear her saying:

"Stepping In .... Take My Envelope Please ... Come In, Come In"

Saying that in a very rood way. Was waiting for her to say "Where's my caffe latte & danish"

There seemed to be some issues with the production tonight. Earpieces not working, no one telling Lori where to go, the cameraman not panning across the contestants fast enough so that Julie could officiate the HoH challenge. I don't blame her for being direct about what needed to be done; it sounds like she's the only one there who knows how to run the show.

I don't think she was rude. She even said "please." She was clear, crisp, direct. When you're in charge of a live TV show, you have to be. Even if you do think she was rude, the producers (no names) left her hanging on live TV without audio, so you can't blame her.

i agree, bastable. i thought she sounded direct like i would expect in that sort of situation. i would think most people involved backstage (whoever they are) speak crisply. can't waste time!

She was also super bossy during the HOH competition. Did anyone else notice this? She chastised the guests for holding their object up before she said so, and she meant business!

She had good reason to not want people touching stuff untill the call.

Grabbing a steel item makes a different noise than a pillow. Unless everyone grabs at once, it's not fair.

After losing control of the show last year for the Will evicting Hardy incident, Julie must have been given more latitude by Arnold this year so that she has more control about making immediate on air decisions as to how to proceed with live TV.

I can support Julie with this one. I thought she was direct while under time pressure. I did not think it was rude.

She didn't seem at all rude to me.

I'm glad Julie took control of the competition too. Last year, she would give the clear instructions of "don't hold up your selected item until I say so," and none of the HG's listened to her, and did it their own way anyway.

Good for her for staying on top of it this year and keeping it under her control.

While not her biggest fan by any means, I agree about her and the control thing., In her position, she has got be able to enable the crew to move along at a pace that has been set. I respect her being a little more assertive, as well as making the best of screw ups that can happen on live TV.

She hasn't taken herself as serious this year.

Did anyone see Julie on Craig Kilborn last night?
She was fun, delightful, and sincere about enjoying her role on BB. She said she was happy with Arnie's BB2 and BB3 production staff, as opposed to BB1. Rumor that her boyfriend lives in LA.

I didn't like when she told Lori to get moving.

I thought it was inappropriate when she mouthed off to Mr. Banks and told him to spend more time with his children and less time thinking about money.

No, wait, that was Julie Andrews. Never mind.

Julie knows this is her show. She can stay or walk away from it. Its about Julie. I think ever since the Justin incident where you could see the laser intensity and the anger during the exit interview with him held in check it truly became her baby. I don't particularly recall the Hardy eviction incident. Could someone please elaborate?

The "Hardy Eviction Incident":
Julie handed her hotel room keys to Hardy as he exited the house.

Niceguy,

Julie did not want Will to do the Hardy eviction until she told him it was time. Will just walked out and did it without listening to Julie. Julie lost control of the show while Will just did his speech oblivious to Julie's repeated requests for him to stop and wait. My suspicion was that they wanted to go to commercial first, but Will did not give them the opportunity. Julie was reduced to watching the "Will" show with the rest of us.

I saw every BB2 show and I don't remember the Will/Hardy incident either.
WTG, Bastable! LOl

Niceguy: I am not here to bash Julie, but I disagree about this being her show. I think if she were to walk away, or be removed, she could easily be replaced and the show would go on. (Unlike survivor where Jeff Probst is such an integral part of the show)

I think Julie knows this too. CBS is constantly trying to dress her differently, relax her, and change her image. They wouldn't do that if she were the catalist behind the show.

MaryAnn,

Julie brought Will into the diary room to talk about the eviction process. She did not want Will to say who he was evicting while Will was in the Diary Room. She asked Will if he would like Julie to announce the eviction or if he would like to do in himself back in the living room. Will said he would like to do the eviction himself back in the living room and after one more sentance Will just got up walked out and did it.

Julie was saying to Will as he walked back into the living Room "Will, Will we are not yet ready Will for you to actually do this." (This is a paraphrase on my part.) However, Will just keep going as Julie and the rest of us just watched.

It was not a huge issue. It was just the Julie had no control to stop Will (probably because CBS wanted a commercial break first.)

As others mentioned, Julie is much more direct this year with the HGs. Last year, there was more than one time when HGs streched the limit of what Julie was asking them while they were on live TV.

Is anyone else aggravated at the way Julie repeats herself so much? I think that TOO much time is being taken up by giving such a long review of what happened last show. I tune in to CBS to watch BB not listen to Julie tell about it!

There's little enough time to show the HG in the house living (with all the competitions) so why bother trying to spend most of the time recapping what has already happened.

Good call Sadlady12. I find that to be very annoying. I know once during the last show, there was a couple minutes of something being explained, then Julie came on live, and said all the exact same stuff over again.

What a waste of precious time.

I think now that we are in the third year, they can also stop coddling us so much providing remedial information on the mechanics of the show too. We all know the premise of the program. Its not like we are going to mistake if for an episode of General Hospital if they don't review and explain everything in minute detail every single episode.

I wish they would just get on with it.

I have the Hardy eviction on tape and I watched it last night. Julie DID stop Will from giving his eviction. It was just for a few seconds, while he was leading up to it in a monologue, that she couldn't get through to him. But she did regain control before he gave the game away.

Realtvfan

Saturday, July 20, 2002 - 09:46 am EditMoveDeleteIP
My interpretation, at the time, was the Julie probably wanted to go to a commercial first. It appeared Julie's goal in that segment was to create a tense moment for a commecial break. When Will got all the way over to the living room, she changed plans and decided to just let things fly.

I'm probably wrong, but incidents such as that one, and others, appear to be a contributing factor toward Julie speaking with a much more direct voice this year.

Its a strange, tough gig in that you have to keep some highly anxious people in line who aren't following a script(on live television)without looking anxious yourself and not looking like a martinet. Not anybody can do this. This isn't a talk show where you can have some goonie looking security guys look intimidating to get people to behave. There's a format that they have to follow but as we've seen over the past three years it can be manipulated by the contestants. Unlike the Survivor shows, The Mole or Amazing Race which are taped far in advance for the most part this is live. That is critical. A MEGA, Justin and now seemingly Josh are difficult to corral and get to do as they are directed to do. Clever guys like Curtis, Will and now Roddy/Marcellas/Jason will test the edges of the envelope.

I put the tv on mute during the live competition and just watched, so missed the bossiness. Eviction nights are pretty ho hum to me. I miss the family and friends being there and the live audience. The only thing I really like about it is seeing the DR convos and what odd clothes the HGs think look good on live television. They did a pretty good job last night, but are going to start getting desperate in the second half of the show.

It was funny to watch Monya superfreak when Krista left the house!

Oh, but I do remember that someone--Hardy?--did like 15 shout-outs on the live show and Julie barked at him to cut it short.

Well I didnt know where to put this so since they didnt show anyone there to greet lori after the show maybe this is the place to put it. i was wondering why they didnt have anyone there to meet lori and I remembered on Kents site it said he would have an interview with the ones evicted on his site on Friday. I went into Kents site and instead of an interview this is what I read:

WEB EXCLUSIVE

Arnold told Kent he could do exit interviews but... this just in CBS has announced that no evictees will not be available for interviews for at least a few weeks. What's up? Why are evicted house guests going into seclusion? Stay tuned for details. When they become available, you will see Kent's interviews right here with the help of BB3 Online.

http://www.kentblackwelder.com/

There has been some discussions on the tvch board whether or not these HG's would be secluded, I for one would think it would be expensive for BB but if anyone has any more info on all of it please do tell. ;o)

niceguy, this isn't the jerry springer show?! most of the houseguests seem like his type of guest though, don't they?

"were you a contestant on a reality tv show where other tramps got in your way as you tried to make time with the hunks and make hunks of money for your time? were you coming onto a guy and another $lut stole him away for all national tv fans to see? do you want revenge? tonight's guests, all purportedly female, are here to exact their revenge on this episode of jerry springer...welcome to this episode called "the boobs that got away."

That was amusing but I don't think that this will play out quite that way.
