    Worst Reality TV show host of all time. hide show

    Anybody who gives Julie Chen a favorable review on this website is either Julie Chen herself or her husband who is clearly putting their marriage ahead of his job as President and CEO of CBS Television. This relationship makes me suspect that, at least in our lifetimes, we will never see a good Big Brother host. Her husband continually spoils her with choice jobs on CBS television shows and refuses to listen to the overwhelming public outcry against her. I must admit, however, she has reserved a special cult-status place in my heart. I often find myself unable to wait for the next live Big Brother broadcast because of her innevitable screw-ups. I love watching her stutter, ask mundane questions, and dress way too glamorously for her little hut outside the Big Brother house.

    Using what little is left of the Chen dynasty, Julie flaunts herself over the set of the boring, but addicting Big Brother in a tired ruse of....well, her knowing what she's doing. hide show

    Once before I have heard of Ms. Chen refered to as The Chenbot. And, no, that isn't because she reminds us of one of Austin Powers' Fembots, but because her actions and speech patterns are so robotic that she really emulates the feelings that I exude while watching the actual show. A cookie-cutter newscaster, she spends her time on the big brother set, making herself out to be a queen, and asks the most mundane of questions including "What would you do with the money?" or "What do you miss most from life outside the Big Brother house?"
    In fact, tvgasm.com has a video clip of times when she uses the phrase "But first" to announce that she is going to speak. And what's to come after that, no one knows or cares, but it's entertaining to hear her consecutive "but firsts." So, maybe next season on big brother we can see a Chen living up to the family name, with more than two emotions: Happy, and 'mildly interested with subtle tones of mischief.'

    Julie Chen is not a CGI character. hide show

    When I first saw Julie Chen on TV, I thought it was a clever use of CGI. Of course when I found out that the reason she has only a limited range of expressions and has a monotone speaking voice and everything is not because she is animated, but because she is extremely dull, I was shocked.

    Off the top of my head I can think of three or four hundred people who would do a better job hosting Big Brother. There are probably at least four or five houseguests from each season that could take over the job and not only do better but increase the ratings.

    Here's hoping she is replaced!

    She is on the morning show and Big Brother. hide show

    She is the only thing I hate about Big Brother. She's always messing up when she talks, and her facial expression is always the same. She's a freaking robot. If only Big Brother could get a better host in the next season. Blah Blah blah blah blue blue blue blah.
