Know what you meean, Nedusa. I was disappointed, too, as I had high hopes for Julian at the start.

For some reason he seems to have gone into appeasement mode and is doing his best to remain uncontroversial, but doesn't realise that being controversial is one of his strengths.

I long to see him exercising his quick and incisive wit and bettering the harridan Julie at every turn. I, too, heard her comment about keeping him as a Mortal and agree with Cherie B that Julie sees him as major competition. she tends to be wary of anyone who's more intelligent than she is - hence her vitriolic comments about Coleen, too, I think.

Yes I agree re the task Julie was thinking two moves ahead and as you say probably sees Julian as one of her adversaries in the final. However Julian may have enough of a fan base to slip quietly into the final week. But at some point he has to take the gloves off and let rip.....!!!!
