haha! Lunch at Chilly's! What do you think about this Jules girl? www.youtube.com/profile?user=callmejules24I just watched her videos. There are LG similarities like the editing, but there are differences as well. She seems very young too. I don't know if the creators would work with someone so young as an ongoing thing, but I guess it's possible.

I'm not sure how I feel about Jules yet. She's likable to a certain degree, I suppose. Nikki is a great liaison between the Creators (oh woops - I mean, her "sources") and the fans. I found immortal1's post from the Forum interesting:

I had that thought as well. It could also explain all the different styles we are seeing.

comments from jules first video:
legman247 (6 days ago) If and when jessica rose outgrows the part or decides to move on, jules would make a great lonelygirl or spinoff character.
Ariya (5 days ago) why is this a response to a lonelygirl15 video? Judging by the way she talks I'm guessing this is an act too.
Ebuverthebicepcurler (2 days ago) this may connect to lg someday, hmmm
and from jules' second vid:
TyredUvBS (1 day ago) Pretty entertaining but i wonder how "the creators" are going to work her into the script smoothly? We all know their writing ideas and plot transitions have quite a bit of room for improvement lo

Holy s***, this involved my old rival dmurawski. AKA the most annoying freaking insane youtuber ever. He's seriously about 10 screwsloose. WTF is up with that, what did he ever do to deserve mention in a NikkiB video?!
EDIT: Jules doesn't make a convincing smart girl like Jess did. She seems like a valley girl blatantly reciting, there's really not much real emotion in it, except when she's inflecting her voice up or excitedly for whatever reason. The rest seems like a pretty bland reason "Wow. I must be boring you. Hope this isn't boring. French is so beautiful. I just read the Count of Monte Cristo." This is what's so special about Jess. If they had used Jules as lg15, I think we sleuths would have been on to her immediately. It was Jess's acting which made the otherwise unlikelihood of Bree being real seem plausible.

Hye, I got mentioned in a Nikki vid recently. Can't really say it is much of a distinction. The only thing worse would be being mentioned in a canon vid.
Don't get me wrong, I am a fan of both. But the whole getting mention thing bugs me.
If you want her to mention you, do what I did. Go to the forum and tell her you'll capture and eat the squirrels from her vids. That is how I managed it, apparently.

I'm enjoying Nikki b trying to fill in the minefield of plotholes, but this Jules character just isn't believable at all. I agree with Hye, she sounds scripted and faux-cutesy and I really hope there are going to be other girls and not just her. Its true though, that no matter who they choose they probably won't pull it off with the conviction Jess did, that was integral to likeability and the suspension of disbelief we all had at the start.
Hopefully there won't be too many other girls, I have this awful feeling there are going to be a couple and they will all find eachother and unite and become some pre-teen Charlies Angels fighting the Order.

Wasn't sure where to post this, but I found it at the forum. Apparently Jules also has a myspace. www.myspace.com/callmejules24Now I'm confused. The myspace has never been "in game" so to speak, and recently YouTube stopped being relevant too (as to different accounts, post times, etc.), so why bother making a myspace profile complete with blog entries? I'm pretty sure it's "authentic" since the I haven't seen her profile pic anywhere else. She seems to have too few friends though. Conveniently, she's also NOT friends with any characters from the Breeniverse, although I did see a forumite or two on there (could be recent adds) Thoughts?

Using google I have tracked jules's activity. Though she registered months ago, she only got going making people aware of her on April 10. It sort of reminds me of Bree, going around commenting people so they notice you and you get viewers right around the time you get going. callmejules24 | April 10, 2007 (to user JaanO) thanks 4 subscribing! --------------- callmejules24 (1 week ago, to the Nikki B episode "Party Time!!") lol it was supposed to be a joke! that's what nikki does, she pokes fun at lg15. it was in response to: sylvienov (1 week ago) Is ice breakers the offical sponser of the lonelygirl15 francise now? It was in this video, very pointedly, twice and got a cameo in a lonelygirl15 video as well...I watch youtube to AVOID commercials people! --------------- callmejules24 (April 15, 2007 to "Czech Easter" by TheBeeOBee) weird stuff but really interesting i guess. callmejules24 (April 16, 2007 to Jane Eyre 2006 video) This is so cool. I saw this mini-series just recently. callmejules24 (April 16, 2007 to a horrific song by her favorite youtuber dmurawksi. I've stated before he's horrible, I first saw his stuff months ago... including the link to this one www.youtube.com/watch?v=S89BCx4iUig so you can see why. I think this goes along with the theory that jules and friends are supposed to be bad. That's the only reason why she would possible choose dmurawski as her muse...) i love this song. your version is interesting. callmejules24 (9 hours ago to a song by ADayInReview) cool idea! i like your vids. what's the song?

lol, should I have expected any less from a veteran sleuther? I couldn't even figure out when the account was created. This comment is bothering me though: callmejules24 (1 week ago, to the Nikki B episode "Party Time!!") lol it was supposed to be a joke! that's what nikki does, she pokes fun at lg15. it was in response to: sylvienov (1 week ago) Is ice breakers the offical sponser of the lonelygirl15 francise now? It was in this video, very pointedly, twice and got a cameo in a lonelygirl15 video as well...I watch youtube to AVOID commercials people! It's just too... meta, I dunno. You'd never see BDJ referring to any of the production aspects of lg15 (eg, product placement). It's an odd thing for a ceremony girl to do... if she lives in the Breeniverse, the product placement never should have existed--and yet she replies to a comment about it. If she's aware of the series and of Nikki B, you'd think she'd be a little more concerned about her situation and her religion IF it really were Bree's religion. Wheee, maybe NOT a ceremony girl! Maybe that language her father wants her to learn that we plebeians have probably never heard of is Italian. (ok, must stop ranting... can't stop, too much to despise, ahhhh!) Il mio nuomo es JUlia. Io parlo Italiani e mangio pizza! (ya I'm still learning)

nice catch, OIC. i agree, that comment is suspiciously meta. i still think she's a canidate for the new girl, but you definitely have me thinking twice!

nice work, hye!
oic, good job pointing out a potential inconsistency here. in the breeniverse, jules may simply disagree that it WAS a product placement, and accept that nikki was teasing about the controversy over it. however, i doubt that amanda or whoever actually typed the comment was thinking thru it that deeply.

whoa-oh, the "suspiciously meta comment" (i liked the term, pill has mysteriously vanished from the page. Here's the cached google page: linkAnd here's the current page: linkI can just picture Jules "oops! you don't exist k thx bye! *delete*"

"Wow I must seem really lame. Just sit in a French Cafe and read a good book and look at the Eiffel tower"
Darling, I bet the closest you have come to Dumas is sneezing. Pure bad acting valley girl, the bit about learning a language as her father believes in her being cultured was cringeworthy. I could find more culture in my fridge.
For the first time *ever* I liked Nikki in this. She was always too perky and enthusiastic for me, but she was very funny. Stuffed animal = fat cat, lol.
