Jc2003 | Thursday, September 25, 2003 - 06:53 am     Does anyone have a link to a transcript of the Early Show interview? |
Naja | Thursday, September 25, 2003 - 07:29 am     My website host only allows me to upload files of up to 300k, so if anyone has a BB site that allows larger files and would like to have the 1.4 MB .wmv of the interview, just write me and I'll send it. Make sure you have tons of room in your mail box. I am on dial up, so it will be too hard for me to send it to everyone this time. I had to reduce it to the smallest size possible, The original recording was 47 MB's. My email is in profile. Be sure to remove the no spam. |
Justshirley | Thursday, September 25, 2003 - 07:42 am     Anybody who saw this care to give a description for us poor folk who missed it? Thanks in advance. |
Prisonerno6 | Thursday, September 25, 2003 - 07:50 am     I have it on tape. If no one does it before then, I'll transcribe it tonight. |
Emdanzma | Thursday, September 25, 2003 - 08:03 am     Kind of a repeat of questions from last night. Was the fact that no one really congratulated them and they were hardly clapping...did it take away from the win? Jun says yes it really really did. Says her parents were busy right now but they were proud, her aunt mentioned 'inspirational' her brother was happy. She said she was happy and proud of her family and friends. (something like that) Also Julie asked if Jun and Bob had a future. Jun says they are always there for one another. Bob rubbed her back to try and get her to sleep last night. When asked, Jun said she would use her money to invest in a nice apartment in the city and there wouldn't be much left. She was shown a clip of when Jee first came into the BB house and Jun's reactions. She said she was able to manipulate him even after they hadn't spoken for 3 years, because she knew there was still a part of a little boy in him that she could control. That's all I can remember. |

Kaili | Thursday, September 25, 2003 - 08:08 am     Who is Jean? Think they meant Jee and it was just a typo? Thanks for the link |
Naja | Thursday, September 25, 2003 - 08:28 am     Giving this a bump. CBS now has a link to the video along the right side of Jun's article that Ark posted. |

Almatad | Thursday, September 25, 2003 - 08:49 am     'Big Brother' Plan Pays Off LOS ANGELES, Sept. 25, 2003 (Photo: CBS/The Early Show) (CBS) The endurance test we call "Big Brother 4" is now over. And today, a 28-year-old investment manager from New York is half-a-million dollars richer by a vote of 6-1. It all came down to a contest between Jun and Alison and for voters, the pick was the lesser of two evils. Jun tells The Early Show co-anchor and show host Julie Chen, that the housemates apathetic attitude toward her win took away from her happiness. She says, “I thought I would be just ecstatic. The fact they barely clapped and didn't look me in the eye a lot of times." Though Jun admits Jack, who, like Dana, had previously been evicted, did give her a hug, it was an icy reception and there were still loose ends to take care of. Jun says, “I think they got over things a little bit because they realized, you know, it's over and we need to move on. But I really did not get a very warm welcome from most of the houseguests. Jean congratulated me and Jack gave me credit and Dana said, ‘I'd have to apologize later,’ but I guess now we're OK.” Apologize for what? Jun says she is not sure. “I know other people said worse things about her and to her so maybe she's upset we cannot take it to the finals,” Jun says. Jun had expressed concern while she was in the house about how she was being portrayed and how her parents were taking it because she had described them as very traditional. Now that she is out of the house, she is pleased with what her family and friends saw in her. She says, “My parents are talking to me. They're kind of busy right now. I talked to my brother and he says that they're proud. My aunt used the words ‘inspirational.’ And so I'm impressed with my family, the fact that they've kind of embraced this whole experience and now they're really proud that I'm bringing some money home.” The prize is $500,000, but Uncle Sam will get a chunk of that. As for her love life, at the show’s finale, she was reunited with her ex-boyfriend, Bob. Jun talked about missing him, hoping she could get back together with him. At the time of the interview with Chen, just a few hours out of the “Big Brother” house, June says things stand as before. She says, "He's always been there for me and vice versa, so last night, I had a hard time falling asleep and he rubbed my back until I fell asleep. But it turns out he fell asleep before me, so he got a more restful sleep than I did. What is important is he was there and he really comforted me.” This season of "Big Brother" started off with an interesting twist. Houseguests found out after being in the house only a few minutes that their ex-boyfriends and girlfriends were coming in, as well. Going back, Jun says that watching another ex walk through the door “definitely made me feel sick and then it pissed me off.” Jun and her ex Jee had not seen each other or talked for three years. “Not one word,” she notes. Now she says having him there was a positive experience. She says, “As far as the game went, it was a huge plus for me because I knew there was one person I could manipulate. Even though it had been three years, I knew he still had some of that little boy in him that I could control and I did. And, actually, I'm a little regretting the fact that I was kind of harsh on him, but as far as the game went, it was great for me.” Surprisingly, Jun and Jee had a secret alliance that no one else knew about. Then, Jun says, "I basically dropped him a little later in the game because I was through with him.” Her strategy has been described as a floater, going from alliance to alliance. Jun says, “If that's the term I'm given, that's fine. I'd like to think I'm my own little island in the ‘Big Brother’ house.” She says she plans to invest the money she won. She says, “Probably invest it in a nice apartment in the city and then that will probably be all I have.” |
Kellirippa | Thursday, September 25, 2003 - 10:23 am     Julie: The endurance test we call Big Brother 4 is over, and now a 28 year old investment manager from New York is half a million dollars richer. Here’s how it finally ended last night. clip: Congratulations Jun, by a vote of 6 to 1, you are the winner of Big Brother 4, (Alison pats her leg with smile on face). Congratulations to you both. (Scattered applause). Julie: Jun Song good morning, listen to the clapping, they’re like, (clap, clap), they were not happy with you or Alison. Jun: I know, they weren’t happy, no. Julie: They clearly said, they had to pick the lesser of two evils. Jun: definitely Julie: Did that take away from your moment? Jun: It really, really took away, because I thought I would be just ecstatic, and the fact that they barely clapped, they didn’t look at me in the eye a lot of times. It was just when I welcomed them back into the house it was a different crew of people. Julie: Jack did give you a hug afterwards and then, um at the end of last night we were all standing on the stairs, and actually Dana gave you a hug too. Jun: Yeah, um, ah, I think they got over things a little bit because they realized, you know it’s over and we need to move on, but I really did not get a very warm welcome from most of the houseguests, I mean, Jee congratulated me, Jack gave me credit, Dana said that I’d have to apologize later, but I guess for now we’re ok. But all and all.. Julie: Apologize for what? Did she say? Do you know her? Jun: I’m not sure, I’m not sure, I, I know, I know that other people said worse things about her and to her, so maybe she’s just upset that we didn’t take it to the finals, but she didn’t make it very easy for me. Julie: You expressed some concern while you were in the house about how you were being portrayed and how your parents were taking it. Jun: uh hum Julie: because you’ve described them as very traditional, now that you’ve been out, what have you heard from friends and family, and are your parents talking to you? Jun: My parents are talking to me, they are kind of, ah, busy right now. Ummm, I talked to my brother, and he said that they’re proud, my aunt used the word inspirational, and so, I’m impressed with my family, the fact that they’ve kind of embraced this whole experience, and now they are really proud that I’m bringing some money home. Julie: (chuckle), yeah, half a million dollars, well, taxes, Uncle Sam’s going to get a chunk. Jun: (laughing) yeah! Julie: but last night we reunited you with your x-boyfriend Bob, you talked about missing him, hoping that you guys get back together. You’ve been out of the house a few hours now, where does that stand? Jun: Um, it kind of stands where it was before. He’s always been there for me, and vice versa, so last night I had a hard time falling asleep and he rubbed my back until I fell asleep, but it turns out he fell asleep before me. So he kind of got a more restful sleep then I did, but what’s important is that he was there and he really comforted me. Julie: This season of Big Brother started off with an interesting twist, the X factor. You found out after only being in the house a few minutes that your X-boyfriend, Jee was coming in too, let’s take a look at your reaction to that. clip: Jee coming in, Jun in diary room, watching him come into the house, made me sick, it pissed me off....this is so bad, it’s so bad.... Julie: The two of you had not seen each other or talked for how much time? Jun: 3 years, not one word. Julie: Ok, now looking back, was it a positive or negative having Jee in that house? Jun: Oh, as far as the game went, it was a huge plus for me, because I knew that at least there was one person I could manipulate. Even though it had been three years, I knew that Jee still had some of that, you know, little boy in him that I could control and I did, and actually I’m a little regretting the fact that I was kinda harsh on him, but as far as the game went, it was great for me. Julie: And you guys had a secret alliance. Jun: We had a secret alliance, no one had an idea. Jee had no idea that my secret alliance was broken when I wanted to. (chuckle), and so I basically dropped him a little later in the game because I was through with him. (chuckle). Julie: If you could describe your strategy, would it be as a floater? That’s what people were calling you, you went from alliance to alliance. Jun: Yeah, people were calling me a floater, um, if that’s the term I’m given, that’s fine, I’d like to think that I’m my own little island in the Big Brother house. (laugh). Julie: Last ten seconds, how are you going to spend the money? Jun: I’m probably going to invest it in a nice apartment in the city and that will probably be all I have. Julie: In New York June: Yeah. Julie: Thanks and congratulations once again. Jun: Thank you. Julie: Let’s head back to New York and Harry. Harry: We’re all.. (mouth drop’s open.. laughing,) Nice job Julie. |
Spunky | Thursday, September 25, 2003 - 10:35 am     Why is Jun still saying no one knew of her alliance with Jee?? When Ali was on the block she told them over and over :Jun and Jee have an alliance!!! No one believed her but it was true. I think Ali mentioned this to Jun, that she knew about it. So, that's another way for Jun to make herself look as the better player. |
Wendo | Thursday, September 25, 2003 - 10:40 am     She is right, Uncle Sam will surely get their chunk. At least 100 grand. (Probably a little more since it's considered a capital gain.) Then she wants to buy an apartment/condo. In New York City, that'll likely take the rest. Thanks for posting the info and interview. I'm never up that early! LOL! |
Jc2003 | Thursday, September 25, 2003 - 10:57 am     Thanks to all the posters for the links and transcripts!! This board never ceases to amaze me! |
Murph | Thursday, September 25, 2003 - 11:19 am     Spunky, it was yesterday or Tuesday that Jun told Ali about her alliance with Jee. It was after BB told them that the HG's had reviewed the show tapes and they were all upset. Ali stated "I knew it" Ali had speculated about the alliance and had asked Jun earlier in the week. Ali had just told Jun her about her alliance with Justin and asked Jun about Jee. I cannot remember for sure but I think, Jun said no she did not have an alliance with Jee. |
Spunky | Thursday, September 25, 2003 - 11:25 am     Murph, I still have the tapes of the whole season and Ali KNEW about the alliance (she figured it out all by herself), when she was on the block (Dana nominated her), maybe thinking of being evicted she told the original alliance (minus Jun and Dana) that Jee and Jun had an alliance, she repeated that often, and was hoping once gone the others would go after Jun or Jee. I'm surprised BB producers did not air that clip again in opposition to what Jun said, that no one knew. Of course BB producers needed to give a lot of credit to Jun as the winner. |
Kellirippa | Thursday, September 25, 2003 - 11:50 am     Julie said that Jun had found out that Jee was coming into the house after only being in the house "a few minutes". Is that accurate, I thought the originals were there for a while without the X's? |
Murph | Thursday, September 25, 2003 - 12:48 pm     Spunky, yes, Ali did believe Jee and Jun had an alliance all the time. The point I was making, was till the very end, Jun did not own up to that alliance even when Ali asked about it directly. I just thought it was unusual that even after the votes, etc. Jun did not admit to it till the end. Thanks |
Crazydog | Thursday, September 25, 2003 - 01:26 pm     Julie probably was just using hyperbole for dramatic effect. The original 8 were in there for quite some time before the others came. They did the first food challenge with just 8 (the one with the tilting balance beams). Although I remember some of them suspected that others would be coming in later, since there were only 8 of them. |
Meggieprice | Thursday, September 25, 2003 - 01:33 pm     Spunky- yes, Ali suspected. Trouble is, no one believed her! Then when it came down to crunch time Jun booted Jee anyway. I thought for sure Ali would pick up on the questions in that last HOH as it did out the aliance but she really did seem surprised this week when Jun finally fessed up. |
Seanflynn2003 | Thursday, September 25, 2003 - 09:42 pm     Wendo I believe Jun will be paying 11% of so NY state & city income tax, then 28% of 445,000 fed income tax. She will end up with around $325,000. That does not come close to paying for anything more than a tiny, dumpy Manhattan apartment. It will be a nice downpayment though. |
Beruthiel | Friday, September 26, 2003 - 03:04 am     Jun was exactly the same in her interview as she was in the house. What annoyed me was that I had the so-called "EARLY" show on for TWO hours before the darn interview came on - two boring hours for three minutes of interview that didn't tell me anything new. (Comment on Jun's clothing - She had on a brightly coloured flowery something with spaghetti straps, and whatever it was, perhaps a short summer shift dress, was almost all of the way to the top of her thighs. She does seem to like skimpy clothes then, in or out of the BB House.) |
Spunky | Friday, September 26, 2003 - 08:55 am     I saw her in that dress too.. compared to Julie she looked cheap... |
Laffy | Friday, September 26, 2003 - 10:47 am     wendo, it is not capital gain income. a cap gain occurs when something is sold for more than it was bought for (to keep it simple) also, cap gain tax, having recently been capped at 10-15%, is about half of the tax rate for ordinary income. |
