In Defense of Big Red

[bigshotprof]

I suppose this should be a reply in a topic thread, but I would have to issue it in several, so here it is all at once.

I think people ought to step back on Jessica. In my mind she is emblematic of what enterprises like Rev3 are about. If I want to see overly polished vacu-babes reading off of prompters I can turn on regular TV. If I want a fresh order of hot wings, I can turn on G4. The women on PopSirens are hey-gang-lets-put-on-a-show fresh, and I like that. Jessica talks like a real person. She may not know as much about the technology as others (or she may, I don't know), but in my humble opinion she adds great chemistry to the show.

And lest you think this is all about some old fool talking up the pretty girls, return to the paragraph above, insert the name Roger Chang, take out the bit about tech (and the Hooters reference) and the same applies.

That's cool, I mean I've seen several people say they like her. However if people don't like something or someone on the show I do think they should mention it. I mean people posting here are people who watch the show, and just want to give feedback to make the show better. If enough people want something, like something, don't like something, whatever Revision3 should take things like that into consideration... Does that mean they need to act on every little complaint that some twit like myself makes? No, but it's still valuable feedback...

So people who don't like Jessica shouldn't be afraid to say so, as long as it's not just to be mean. People who like her should speak up just as you have.

I completely agree.

Jessica always rocked ever since Tech TV and think she is great on Popsiren and wish Indigital was still around as she was great on that also(everyone was).

Corbin ftw, she's good looking--lets be honest, it's a factor--she's smart, entertaining, not some plastic emotionless eye-candy. Give that woman a raise!

Sure everyone gets to have an opinion but keep in mind the people that comment here are probably a VERY small fraction of the weekly veiwers so what's said here should not be construed as popular opinion, no matter what direction it's leaning in. If the people are watching then they must be doing something right. If it ain't broke...

I like Jessica a lot...but not in the stalker way. :)

I liked watching her on Tech Live from TechTV and InDigital as well (yes a shame that had to be cancelled) so more Jessica is encourage imo.

I like the switch with Bancroft for Digg Reel because I really didn't like Jessica on that show. Not because she didn't do a good job or anything but because I liked her more on shows where she interacted with people such as InDigital and now popSiren so I think the switch was for the better.

oh and have to agree, Fiery Redheads FTW!

I've been a big fan of Jessica's ever since the TechTV days and have always enjoyed the more, for lack of a better word, natural perspective that she brings to the party. I'm glad that Rev3 have finally found a show that's the right fit for her (although I did enjoy the chemistry between her and Patrick on Tekzilla). However, maybe it's just me, but it seems as though ever since she came back from vacation she's been a bit less ... focused than usual.

She so pretty. I love it when she swears, and when she sits up straight.

In the past I've not been particularly kind about Jessica, but that was primarily based on InDigital where I found her relationship with Wil a little... off.

But PopSiren is completely different and Jessica is perfect for it. Her interactions with Sarah are fun, off the wall and unpredictable. I don't think she always understands the subjects she's talking about (but then, neither do I), and her performance isn't highly polished, but it's engaging and watchable.

I'm not a Jessica fan, but I absolutely wouldn't change her on PopSiren.

That's the most bizarre thing I've heard all day. And I just watched PopSiren, so that's saying something. :)

The end of recent ep, has her suddenly sitting upright.... and swearing, which she did in the Tekzilla outtakes too. ... as well as gyrate against the Tekzilla table. I like outtakes more than the shows.
