Rapping Similarity

I think it's funny that Nikki B brought up the rapping as a similarity between Bree's and Jules's videos. That similarity seems to indicate this girl having watched in immitated Bree's videos more than it indicates a similar connection to the Order. It's not like they teach these girls to make cheesy internet rap videos at the Hymn of One summer camps.
I too am wondering if the Order didn't set this girl up as bait for Bree. "Come save me Bree! They're going to make me do the ceremony!" The thing is, that blows the easy "Nobody in the Order can see our videos since OpAphid is gone" cover that the creators manipulated to avoid making the trio do private transmissions. If the Order is producing video blog decoys, they're still watching her videos.

I definately like her better than the girl that popped up on revver.
She's incredibly likeable in comparison to soccerstar.

I don't know, like I said before I can't stand her acting. I still can't watch the whole video without cringing. It does seem like maybe she might be the new girl..or maybe they are just using her to throw us off. Oh how I hope they are just using this to throw us off. Its way to scripted sounding and it just doesn't seem at all natural like how the rest of them act.

Her Spanish is wrong, too. "My nombre es Julia" translates literally into "My name is Julia" but that's not how you would say it. "Me llamo es Julia" is correct.
That's the first thing we learned in my Spanish 1 class last year.

That cover never had any merit within the narrative anyway. They'd be better off to pretend it was never mentioned.

Yeah, Taylor in comparison sounded less like a random kid producing her own lame video blog (like Jules) and more like a theatrical actress performing a monologue for a camera. It was too quick and rehearsed for the camera. On stage, she probably comes off pretty well. I like her voice and her facial expressions. Jules is mostly bad because of the cheesy script (which possibly contains intentional errors? How could you mess up basic greetings in three languages if you were actually studying them?). I wouldn't call these bad actresses so much as bad videos...which is why the canon videos should not acknowledge Taylor and should reveal Jules as a hoax. First impressions are too important to introduce new characters with videos that poor. Jonas' first video was really good, I thought, and he was introduced in a very similar way.

"mon nom est Jules" is what would come up on any translation website if you type in "my name is jules" and ask it to translate it to French. It's a literal translation, and not at all what you would really be taught to say if you were learning French. I'm not sure about the other languages she speaks in though.
So if she's canon either the creators are being totally sloppy and haven't done the easiest bit of research (and you would think one of the crew would know the tiniest amount of French right?) or she's not learning loads of languages at all and is just a decoy. Or she's not canon at all and is just a girl visiting freetranslation.com
Yessss! ...And her accent sounds like nails on a blackboard!

what really annoys me is the fact that all of jules videos are response to a LG15 video even though she has not mentioned them at all!

wow... 9 pages. What I say probably has already been said... just throwig my 2 cents out there.
Yes, Jules needs to improve her acting. immensely. Methinks someone's niece/little sister/cousin got the Jules spot.
Honestly, I think by Jules' 4th or 5th video, Nikki Bower or Bree will have something to conclude that she's not the New Girl. We'll see a couple "OMG! Is this her!" until we get to the right one. t least, that's my hope...
