John32070 | Thursday, July 31, 2003 - 05:18 am     Seems like once every season she pulls the trick of saying one of the nominated's names like they are evicted then saying they are safe (remember BB1 when Josh, Karen, Cass were up and she said Josh and he got up to leave and she was just telling him the percentage of eviction votes he got?). Last night I had a bad feeling it was going to be Jack going when I saw Ali and Erika both say Jack and Rob saying how Jack was to be feared more in the game and she does it again. Nice of Jack to take it in stride as I'd have been quit doing that! LOL |
Ocean_Islands | Thursday, July 31, 2003 - 06:45 am     I thought Julie revealed how much she likes Dana in her interview with her last night. She was almost giggly with glee. Could Julie be like Dana in some way? |
Roguescollar | Thursday, July 31, 2003 - 07:49 am     Call me naive and put me in a house with 12 other guests...but I thought the total opposite, Ocean... I thought she was at the other end of the spectrum and I also thought she was little uncomfortable phrasing her question to Dave re: his escapade(s). Maybe it was just good acting on her part, lol. Didn't she look cute last nite! ~R~  |
Cablejockey | Thursday, July 31, 2003 - 07:52 am     Julie adds nothing o the show, acting all bored and going through the motions as if this job is a punishment. Watching the show last night, I was wondering why they didn't replace her after bb1. I'd like to see someone a little looser, having fun with it--almost like a fan--acting like she actually cares about what is going on. It would be nice if they had a representive of the internet, like first season, talking about what is hot with net fans, who they hate etc. |
Sasman | Thursday, July 31, 2003 - 07:54 am     Bring back the shrink also! |
Crazydog | Thursday, July 31, 2003 - 08:02 am     I think Julie's been great. She's gotten better and more comfortable with each successive season. She looks great too. Re the HGs voting in the diary room, of course they are going to make it look very close. If they are going to show any of them actually voting, they always have an equal number for each. When Amanda got evicted unanimously, they didn't show any votes. I like the fact that she says the non-evictee's name. Keeps them on their toes. The look of shock and fright on Amy's face was well worth it. |
Weenerlobo | Thursday, July 31, 2003 - 08:02 am     Cablejockey - couldn't agree more. Dh and I were saying how superfluous Julie is last nite. Good clothes-horse, though. |
Niceguy | Thursday, July 31, 2003 - 08:07 am     I know there are a lot of Julie haters out there but I wish they would remember that it is a live show and there just isn't that much latitude to be that loose with it. You've got anxious people trying to win a half million dollars. I remember when Will tried to commandeer the show away from her and she had to gently remind him who was the host. That's her job, keeping the contestants in line during a live broadcast without holding a gun to their heads or even being in the same room with them. Its not as easy as it looks. Oh, and she's a hot chick too...yes she is. |
Weenerlobo | Thursday, July 31, 2003 - 08:11 am     Not a hater, just not impressed. |
Philamom | Thursday, July 31, 2003 - 08:11 am     I think Julie is attractive, and I loved her outfit last night. But she is WAY too skinny ... sorry to be critical, but being that thin makes her head look enormous, much too big for her body. Anyone else notice that, or is it just me? |
Fuzzyb | Thursday, July 31, 2003 - 08:12 am     I think julie watches the show and gets caught up in it. of course les moonves might tie her to the chair and make her watch. I was going to say tie her to the bed but that was almost sexual. |
Fuzzyb | Thursday, July 31, 2003 - 08:13 am     She's asia. And making a sterotypical comment, most asian women are tiny-- Read it again I said MOST |
Lurknomore | Thursday, July 31, 2003 - 08:15 am     I think Julie was a LOT better last year when they gave her more leeway to chat and be less stiff. Also her clothes were much cuter and overall it was a much better presentation. That said, I thought she looked like she wanted to STRANGLE Dana (something I certainly can relate to) when she kept trying to jump in when it wasn't her turn to talk, and at one point she Dana just kept going even talking over Julie. I've worked with a lot of TV folks and TV shows are generally timed within seconds, and I can assure you Julie had say 90 seconds to chat with Ali and Dana kept talking. This is a good way to really annoy someone as you are messing up their timing. Plus as a long term Julie watcher we all have seen her go off when she loses control...again I think another TV quirk...everyone wants to feel in control. So I'm betting Julie likes Dana about as much as I do...which is less than that bug that attacked my house during the show last night |
Justshirley | Thursday, July 31, 2003 - 08:20 am     I like Julie's clothes WAY more so far this year than last. Last year, she dressed much too young. Made her look like a HG wanna-be. I'm really enjoying her more mature look this year. |
Niceguy | Thursday, July 31, 2003 - 08:25 am     That's what Dana behavior reminded me of. Will. He would try to grab as much air time as he could as well. Maybe that's the secret to winning it all. Try and trip up Julie on the live show. |
Crazydog | Thursday, July 31, 2003 - 08:29 am     Yes, I thought it was a little odd to me how long Julie talked to Dana in the HoH room. Seemed much longer than before. I can't wait to see her interview Dana face-to-face next week. Wonder what she will have to say! |
Lurknomore | Thursday, July 31, 2003 - 08:30 am     Niceguy I may not know who will win this trainwreck, but I would bet the house on who won't...no way it will be Dana. PS Crazy...I think that every time we actually have to listen to Dana it just SEEMS long  |
Ocean_Islands | Thursday, July 31, 2003 - 08:37 am     I thought her get-up last night was bizarre. She looked like a suspension bridge ... the stilts ... the cables .... |
Hobbs | Thursday, July 31, 2003 - 08:41 am     I said this before the season in another thread. If Julie was replaced with someone else, everyone would hate the new person and the comparisons would never end. The Alex vs Page debate still goes on over at the Trading Spaces area and Alex left 3 years ago! I think Julie has been great this year. The turn around for me was the card slap to Marcellas. That's when I realized that she actually had a sense of humor. I thought she was good with the HG's last night. Even remarking to somebody (Robert or Justin I think) that she "wasn't going there". I'd like to see more of her. Maybe do some parts on the Tuesday and Friday shows. |
Bearware | Thursday, July 31, 2003 - 08:42 am     daggon, Ocean I thought it was FABULOUS! I think I've really grown to like Julie. Didn't like her in the beginning bb's but love her now! She manages to add grace and style to a show that could become very common. |
Crazydog | Thursday, July 31, 2003 - 08:45 am     As much as I like her, I have to admit I still find it funny during the opening part of the live shows, when she is sitting on the couch talking to the camera. Then she abruptly turns, gets up and walks toward the camera. For some reason I still find it strangely mesmerizing - it's like she has to concentrate really hard so she doesn't fall down or trip. |
Niceguy | Thursday, July 31, 2003 - 08:46 am     Wasn't she on more in the beginning with BB1 cast. I thought she was. If Julie decides to leave after this season she has done a better than adequate job and should be replaced by someone who I feel would enhance the show. It wouldn't be Will but the first winner of the The Mole game on ABC. I think she could handle the job quite well. |
Mpls | Thursday, July 31, 2003 - 08:52 am     I didn't find it odd that Julie talked with Dana so long. Usually those HoH interviews are just an unfortunate tradition with little or no insights into anything. I think Dana being the way she is gave very real and yes, emotion driven answers which made for much more interesting banter than the usual pat answers given by other HoH's. I guess that is why I don't seem to mind Dana. She isn't following the play it safe role, she is very much a wildcard. Oh, and Julie's top was slammin to me especially with the glitter on the skin. She is no doubt attractive albeit slim. |
Aus10 | Thursday, July 31, 2003 - 09:14 am     I don't really care for Julie's dialogue 99% of the time. It's too scripted, not enough, improv..but I thought her dress last night was awesome. The body glitter was a bit much though...JMHO |
Bbfanatic | Thursday, July 31, 2003 - 09:19 am     at this point, i think julie is part of bb. i would miss her. i wish they would not have a segment about the previous hgs on eviction night and maybe show a short segment on each of them during the friday show. i would have julie spend that time during the live show talking with the current hgs. |
