    YOU WILL BE MISSED ON THIS SHOW! I am not happy with the change, that's for sure! hide show

    You are an amazing asset to this cast and show, it is not going to be the same without you on here, especially after last weeks episode where you spoke about what a mother is supposed to do... it showed your amazing character.

    I don't like this change, and I don't know if we will continue watching if they change this show too much, but for now, I want to show my support to other cast members too, even though I hate that you will be gone! Thanks A.J. Cook You have created a lot of smiles and tears!!!!!! :)

    Love AJ, alias JJ. Love her strong character and she pulls it off really well. You can feel the closeness of the group which is what I think made Friends a strong ongoing show for so long. hide show

    I love JJ. The interaction between her, Garcia and Reid is great. It adds to the show and you can obviously feel the personal emotion between them. I also loved Will being written in with them having a baby. Shows a woman can take on a serious career and still be a mom. Keep it coming. Don't get rid of this JJ.

    I heard read the powers in charge are replacing, and I think that would be a great mistake. If you do, you are going to riun the family attachment of this team. Taking Elle and Gideon off has been enough. Please don't make anymore changes. DOn't you know when you have a good thing going?????

    She has "the charisma" and charm. hide show

    She is so cute and talented. Also she has ¡§the charisma¡¨. Because the AJ role was seemed very unimportant, just a side role. But with her charisma she made the role bigger. But she is unrated so far. I think after final destination and A J role in criminal minds, she became more famous.
    She is the ¡§soft and beautiful¡¨ face of Criminal Minds. But I think her role is small for her talent. I want to see some more episode that is focused on her.
    I hope to see her on big screen maybe in a romantic comedy with Hugh Jackmanļ

    Here is an example of someone who had the Spotlight of Fame shine down on her... hide show

    Her name is Andrea Joy Cook or A.J. for short. She had a couple starring roles in a couple Goosebumps Episodes. From then on, she continued to ride the Wave of Fame. She is more popular than other stars I have mentioned and written reviews for. While someone like Kathryn Long would only have a Star Power of 2 or 2.5, A.J. would have 3.5 to 4 Star Power if she were a Sim. You can try and make your own Sims famous by playing The Sims: Superstar expansion pack. I know there is a game called The Sims 2, but I don't know enough about it to be able to judge on whether it is better than The Sims.

    I think AJ Cook is beautiful
    She makes CM more than another crime show with her character JJ, that character could easilybe boring, but AJ makes it someting special.
    I think she is a wonderful person. hide show

    I think she is a wonderful person.

    I think she needs a bigger role in the show, sometimes you can forget that she is even there, until she pops up and you think 'oh yeah, there she is.' In general, AJ brings a great personality to CM as well as a happy cheery face, bringing a bit of happiness to a some-what serious show. You go girl, Keep up all your wonderful work.
