Wcv63 | Thursday, August 01, 2002 - 09:23 pm     Julie seemed a lot more relaxed tonight. Her interactions with the houseguests were light, playful and more spontaneous. She seemed more genuine and less scripted. I hope we see more of this Julie! |
Puck1021 | Thursday, August 01, 2002 - 10:12 pm     I agree 100%, she seemed to have fun and so did the house guests, the "settle down Beavis" comment directed "to Josh I think"? was unscripted and just seem very natural. It was a very refreshing and good show tonight.

Scorpiomoon | Thursday, August 01, 2002 - 10:14 pm     I agree! Last week she was stumbling all over her words and reading from the cards. It was a mess. Julie did well tonight. |
Wendydarling | Thursday, August 01, 2002 - 10:15 pm     I didn't think it was relaxed at all..I think she was frustrated because they wouldn't shut up in the group shots...and frustrated because Amy and Marc went on too long..and then finally frustrated because (although I love Amy) Amy was unpredictable and wasn't taking her cues on when to stop talking at the exit interview. The entire show was full of tension on Julie's part, I thought. But that's just me :D |
Webkitty | Thursday, August 01, 2002 - 10:18 pm     Julie was great tonight! I loved the little evil chuckle she gave when she was talking to Roddy in the HOH room about being a diplomat (regarding Chiara) She just keeps getting better and better  |
Draheid | Thursday, August 01, 2002 - 10:20 pm     I thought she was very relaxed and having a little impromptu fun with the HG's ... just keep in mind that she hasn't quit her day job yet! |
Cynny | Thursday, August 01, 2002 - 10:31 pm     I thought Julie was great tonight too, but I have always liked her. I've liked watching her get more and more comfortable and less in "newscaster" mode as the three seasons have gone on. I think the first time I really noticed her start to loosen up was in BB1, the last night, when she came into the house with Eddie and Josh and Eddie was such a ladies man with his "So, how you doin', Julie. I heard her laugh several times tonight and thought she was spontaneous and fun. And for all the times that Amy was worried that Julie hated her, I thought Julie's face showed real compassion towards Amy during her interview. I hope Amy noticed it. |
Spygirl | Thursday, August 01, 2002 - 10:55 pm     LOVED Julie tonight! I, too, thought she had a great time with the show tonight. |
Kaili | Thursday, August 01, 2002 - 11:03 pm     She was good- she was cracking up for awhile! I also don't mind her- I like the serious tone she uses sometimes- but she goes back and forth so easily. She must be good at her job to be able to compose herself so quickly. |
Oregonfire | Thursday, August 01, 2002 - 11:04 pm     I liked Julie tonight, and I also like the HGs rapport with her. I think that this group is spontaneous but not in a scary way. Good job to all of them! No matter what anyone says, I like this group of HGs better than any other year. |
Ladytex | Thursday, August 01, 2002 - 11:10 pm     I like Julie. I like her more on the Early Show, though. Tonight I liked the way she interacted with the hg's, especially the beavis line, and her quiet little dig at Roddy. |
Abbynormal | Thursday, August 01, 2002 - 11:19 pm     I bet she really wanted to say butthead instead of beavis. |
Cyn | Thursday, August 01, 2002 - 11:57 pm     i love julie, always have, even before BB. but, wasn't she wearing those same pants on craig kilborn's late, late show? |
Snee | Friday, August 02, 2002 - 12:10 am     julie was great tonight! oh, and abby? i bet she wanted to say butthead too! hehehehe! |
Snee | Friday, August 02, 2002 - 12:11 am     i think the pants are from last year. i don't watch kilborn but i think i remember them... okay, now i'm shaking my head. i'm posting about julie's pants? *sigh* i guess i'll just go with it... |
Bbfanatic | Friday, August 02, 2002 - 08:00 am     i really dont have any thoughts about julie one way or another. im not being negative. i would like them to take the winner from the previous year and let that person do her job. |
Bbfanatic | Friday, August 02, 2002 - 08:02 am     i think it would be great to have someone do the job that is funny. they could take clips of the hg and really make the show hilarious. i can just imagine Will in julies spot. |
Woodpecke® | Friday, August 02, 2002 - 08:11 am     Julie is a perfect host for this show. She brings a blend of professionalism and continuity to a show that needs stability. Will as a host for this show would be a disaster. Too self-centered. |
Dixiebelle31 | Friday, August 02, 2002 - 08:22 am     I may be asking for trouble by posting this but I wonder how much of the show Julie really watches. I couldn't help but think while watching the HOH contest that she doesn't watch too much because they had the names of the houseguests above their cubbyholes. The producers knew how much she flubbed the competition last week and wanted to do what they could to insure that it flowed more smoothly. |
Woodpecke® | Friday, August 02, 2002 - 08:25 am     I heard Julie interviewed on the radio about a week ago. She claimed that she watches the show on T.V, loves doing the show, and even logs on for the internet coverage. |
Spygirl | Friday, August 02, 2002 - 08:44 am     I think Julie might watch quite a bit because she commented on Eric's sleep talking and even added something he said in his sleep that no one in the house seemed to remember. She said "But you probably don't even remember that one. Never mind". |
Texastillie | Friday, August 02, 2002 - 08:48 am     I thought it was interesting that she talked quite a bit about how much Gerry's position in the house is changing BEFORE the HOH contest. Quite a coincidence. |
Orwellsvision | Friday, August 02, 2002 - 08:55 am     No kidding, texastillie!!! It WAS odd that Julie was focusing quite a bit of the group interview on Gerry, and then lo and behold he wins HOH. Coincidence? |
Bracken | Friday, August 02, 2002 - 08:56 am     I agree that Julie did seem to be better during last nights show. However, I don't think it because she is getting better or watches the show. I think that many of the supposedly "off the cuff" remarks were scripted and that this "live" show had been pretty thoroughly rehearsed, at least to the point that the HG's were well aware of the questions she was going to ask them and had their answers ready. Marvellas being the only one thrown for a loop after Amy's well done, but rehearsed to death "final speech." Just my opinion. As you can probably tell, I'm not a Julie fan, but anything that will improve the show is ok by me. |
Woodpecke® | Friday, August 02, 2002 - 09:04 am     Yes Bracken, it is apparent you are not a Julie fan. Calling her a liar pretty much ended your membership in the Julie Chen Fan Club. |
Sia | Friday, August 02, 2002 - 11:08 am     Cyn, cut Julie Chen a break, will ya? I didn't notice her pants on Kilborn's show, but please consider than size NEGATIVE-TWO pants are pretty hard to come by, so she might not have that many clothes, LOL! j/k Julie Chen actually said on the air when "ad-libbing" with some of her coworkers that she goes "nuts" when the sales tax holiday is observed. I think she's the one who said she had a HUGE amount of clothes! |
Sonia | Friday, August 02, 2002 - 12:36 pm     I more like her this year than the 2 previous ones. She become more natural now, and I like her professionnalism. I also appreciate the fact than she doesn't seem to have an obvious favoristism for some hgs in her interviews. If she likes or doesn't like an hg, it doesn't show and I appreciate it, she's very professionnal about it. |
Maryann | Friday, August 02, 2002 - 05:06 pm     I like Julie..she's part of the show now for me. I think she's way too thin...but still very lovely. |
Spunky | Friday, August 02, 2002 - 05:20 pm     I don't like those 70's tops she wears. They look just cheap! Pants are okay, but those tops...blah...(did you notice they're all the same shape?). They could do better with her wardrobe.. Ask Marcellas!!! |
