But she also confirms that her feelings for Jake were real during filming.
“He was at an arms distance from me for a really long time,” she adds.
“Our relationship was very innocent.
We don’t even kiss until the very last episode and we lived together for a whole month.
Instantaneously, Jake and I had very real chemistry, so that wasn’t something I had to fake.
While Julie and Jake are not in a relationship, where do they stand now?
“We’re just cast mates,” Julie says.
“It’s very work-oriented, I feel.”
“There’s parts of it that’s cringey, parts of it that’s funny.
There’s parts of it that are cute.
It’s surreal.”
And nothing has surprised her while watching the season.
“And we were also very much like, ‘This is what I said in confessional about you.
This is what could come out.
This is what actually pisses me off about you.’
So I feel like we already got it all out before the show came out.”
Thankfully the votes had already gone out.
“Tolu asked me if it was me,” Julie says.
And she finally admitted to it.
But I had to ask everyone, ‘Who took this money?'”
“I knew that I should align with the people who are seen as leaders in the group.
There was a benefit to me aligning with Jake and him having a crush on me.
I made sure I stayed protected.”
“You see us girls tear each other apart,” Julie says.
“My stomach dropped,” she says.
“I was like, ‘Holy s—, I did it.’
Then we had a whole blowout.
Our guns can both be loaded, but don’t fire.’
And for me, that was a true act of trust.
It was cool for me to see that too.”
