Yes I've noticed the build up to lets get ready to ramble. I think I prefer Carrie to Jules so I'm looking forward to getting onto those shows!
If I remember correctly, Chris said that Jules was on the show for the first 9 months before she unexpectedly quit. He said that when she was brought back for a final visit toward the end of the show back in September. I've been struck by how little she was on air during this time. People used to complain that Tina was hardly around during the show, but she was on far more often than Jules was. There's been a couple of replays where the only time she was on air was during the newsbreak.
I am up to Carrie's first week on the show (apart from when she covered for Juliette in the summer) and Juliette was on the show continuously until her final appearance on 1st October.
Juliette got more involved in the final couple of months or so, but not as much as Carrie or Tina. That suited me though, as I always thought it was just too 'busy' with too many voices on the air. Also, Juliette never annoyed me, which cant be said for Carrie, and certainly not about Tina, who turned into pretty much a constant annoyance for me in the end.
I did like Carrie in the end, but at the moment, I would say Juliette was my favourite. When Juliette came back to say goodbye, Chris said she whispered to him that she should never have left. I wish she had stayed for longer too. It would have been interesting to see how different the show would have been with her instead of Carrie as the show evolved into a a far more speech based, rambling format than it was when Juliette was there.
