I heard on twitter that Julie might not see out the rest of the season. I also heard that Derrick and/or Jeff might finish the season out if Julie doesn't. But her statement did say she would return on Thursday for Big Brother so I'm thinking that rumor is false. (praying!)
This is what one of my friends said about it and I think it's so true.
"I really think that any other host might make watching B.B. feel different. Julie is so neutral, it makes it easier for the audience to judge things for themselves. If you put Derrick in there, I swear it would feel like a different show. Even when she asks a pointed question, she mostly comes off like she’s not judging. It’s like, she doesn’t get in the way or something. She’s the ChenBot"

I used to think that about Julie being neutral, but I have definitely not thought it this season.

Derrick or Jeff would be a big big mistake, and a reason for me to ditch the rest of the season. Replacing Julie with a couple of mansplainers would cause whiplash. And I'm not thrilled about the idea of Ross and/or Marissa either. Ross could temper his act but why should he? It's not a good fit. And Marissa is too bubbly and starstruck by these houseguests who are anything BUT stars.
I think Julie will stay, on both her shows, after she takes some time off to let the story get swallowed up by the next big story. But if she doesn't, they need a pro to come in and take over, not a former HG.

There are only 2 weeks to go - I predict she will finish out the season. After all, these HGs aren't privy to the mess going on around Julie. As far as her being neutral - I strongly disagree. She clearly has had her favorites and seems to have trouble hiding it this season. It actually makes me believe she doesn't watch much live feed action, but reads twitter and bases her bias on that.

Yeah...so THIS season being different for obvious reasons. But normally Julie is very "in the middle" ...which has made THIS season so odd.

I would be open to the RIGHT replacement. Ross and Marissa are just too hyper, I can barely get through Off the Block with those two

I'm glad. I hope her heart will still be in it -- I would imagine she will have to deal with people's attitudes toward her husband around the network, and gossip behind her back. That could wear her down in the long term. But it's her job and if she still enjoys doing it, she should be able to do it.

It's been home for a long time and the people she works with (I believe) love her and will treat her fairly.

It's been home for a long time and the people she works with (I believe) love her and will treat her fairly. I never watch "The Talk" but I know it's a daily show. I think staying on with that grueling schedule would have been too stressful for Julie since the topic surrounding her husband isn't one that's soon to go away, and so even if the focus is on someone other than her husband, she still would find herself in a lot of awkward moments, people dredging up the past. On the flip side, I'm glad she's staying with Big Brother. She has more control in that environment. It's a much more relaxed atmosphere from a spectator's view (or host). Plus, she only has to appear live once a week. Anyone can conjure up their best game face for that amount of time.

I don't think the #MeToo Movement is taking JULIE down AT ALL as Jeff stated.........Julie is taking herself down. At least so far from The Talk.
If she chooses to leave BB ... that is HER decision. Period.

Well some people aren't exactly treating Julie very nicely.

I like what Jeff has to say here: He said it perfectly. IMO, she should stay if she wants to. She is not the one accused why should she be punished?

So her current contract covers this winter's Celeb BB and next summer's BB.
Now CBS just has to formally renew BB for next summer.
