Rachel or Julie?

Posted on March 29, 2010

It looks like Ben Epstein has found himself in the middle of a love triangle.  Who should he choose, his ex Rachel played by Lake Bell, or Julie played by Margarita Levieva?

  1. If Ben stays with Julie, it would be amazing :)

  2. julie … way too much fun to have the ex round every now and then :)

  3. julie…rachel is more wifey material.

  4. JULIE, rachel is the potential crazy ex-gf thats gonna always be around

  5. Julie, all the way.

    They need to keep the ex dynamic going on with with Rachel and Ben. Totally relatable.

    Also, the dynamic that Rachel has going on with her new boyfriend (can’t remember his name) is a good one for the show. They should play that out a little longer in season 2.

    Many shows don’t allow the storylines to flesh out enough. I guess the showrunners/writers, etc. don’t want to bore the audience, so they change things up. Don’t make that mistake with this show. Allow it to breath before taking it into a totally different direction. We like what you’ve shown us so far.

  6. Julie, Julie and Julie. She’s more fun, does not want to have more from Ben but just enjoy life have fun in New-York. Rachel is complicated and Darren is a good fit for her

  7. julie, no doubt

  8. Could he have them both ;)

  9. russians girls) Julie) ????? ?? ? ?????)

  10. Julie !

    He’ll have the time to get back with Rachel later… It would be too much classic to see him getting back with her just at the end of the season 1.

    Also, like Peter, i think this is great for the show to have several windows to explain, to dig in…

    Great show anyway !

  11. Julie – great casting.

  12. Definetly JULIE! Rachel looks like a MAN! well the body is OK but the face maaaan

  13. Julie…without any doubt…

  14. Definitely Julie, Rachel doesnt hav the sex vibe Julie has, and ppl dont like that.

  15. Rachel is so wack. already of the tired of going back and forth. Let my dude Ben get some Pums. and Julie is gorgeous.

  16. Julie, rachel is so annoying.

  17. Julie, without a doubt. She’s cuter, sexier, more fun, and just a better fit for Ben and a great character to have in the show.
    And the ex girlfriend dynamic is good, as people have said.

    And while I don’t like Darren, he seems like there’s a lot more to him than meets the eye; and perhaps Rachel should stay with him for longer so the show can explore this.

  18. Gotta be Julie.. GOTTA BE! I like rachel’s character but she’s not as hot as Julie. Can he hook up with Shannyn Sossamon, cause she is beautiful too. I hope we get a season 2 of this show. I need it to be a little more rated R though.

  19. Case closed. JULIE.

    Writers, listen up. Julie needs to become more central in the next season.

    …But something tells me they’ve already thought of this. Margarita Levieva is definitely an up-and-comer. I don’t think her agent would encourage her to do a three episode supporting role unless the character had a future in later episodes. I think we’ll be seeing more of Julie… Although, this character needs to be a little more of a chase. If she’s too easy, she’ll bore the audience as much as she bores Ben Epstein. Make this chick interesting.

    And with that being said, I think we’ll be seeing more of Margarita Levieva. Chick is a star. I actually sat through “Spread” just because Margarita was so damn alluring. And she’s a good actor. She’s got a future.

  20. Julie, she’s definitely cool.

  21. J.U.L.I.E !

  22. Yeah Laurent ! Julie definitely. I’m bored to see Rachel who doesnt knows what she wants.

  23. Julie. But Rach has Ben on Lock, he looks down every time she leaves . Buck sprung on her.

  24. Julie!

  25. Julie all the way. I only started liking Rachel in the finale. I liked Julie the moment I saw her. She is a much better choice for Ben. Rachel had a good going away moment in the finale. If she comes back, that’s okay, but don’t put her with Ben. IMHO.

  26. Rachel is gorgeous, but i want him to be with Julie adds, a dynamism to the continuation. Keep Rachel in the wings.

  27. I loooove Rachel, and you can tell Ben’s character does, too. But, for a more interesting plot line it definitely seems like Julie is the way to go. Rachel has to linger (and come back!)

  28. Julie is unique, seductive, interesting… and many more things… Julie for sure! Screw Rachel. She ruined Ben’s life when she left him and was too blind to see what a real thing they had together.

  29. Julie! Rachel is cumbersome

  30. JULIE by a mile!!!!!!

  31. Julie; Rachel is heinous…

  32. BOTH!!!!!

  33. Look at Rachel’s abs in that photo you can tell she works hard for those. She has a gorgeous smile and beautifully exotic eyes. Although she does give Ben the run around that is what makes the show interesting. Please everyone give this girl a break.

  34. Julie! I think she really likes Ben and she looks like the kind of girl that wants to help you grow, the kind of girl that wanna see you on the top.

  35. Rachel !!!
    Listen to the Frenchman. Julie is a toy. Rachel is a woman.

  36. Julie!

  37. - Real Life -
    Rachel

    - TV Show -
    i guess julie shes kinda cool and she got that insane hook up for the shirts

  38. julie… Cause racheal will always be there

  39. Julie, hands down. The Rachel (ex-GF skit) is getting old and almost repetitive. Can’t even feel for Rachel (character) almost cuz she complains too much about everything.

  40. Julie for definitely.. Rachel is annoying but the niggest butter face i’ve ever seen.. i cant believe ben was ever with her.

  41. JULIE. Rachel used to be a man, just got a sex change. Look at her jaw structure. Wack smile, Wack personality. She is perfect in a minor role like she played in ‘What happens in Vegas’. Lake Bell is not leading actress material.

  42. Wow, can’t believe so many out there are on Team Julie.

    I want the show to continue so I vote for Julie for now because they will break up and Ben will still have feelings for Rachel.

  43. Rachel.

    Just to break the momentum…

    But hell yeah JULIE!!!! She’s so hot!

  44. All of these comments were made by one person. Rachel all the way she’s witty , smart and funny. Oh, and did you see her GQ spread…..and I rest my case. Julie, while America’s sweetheart doesn’t have the personality and is boring.

  45. Rachel seems too demanding, I also think Ben changes himself for her, so she’s not a good choice if he’s going to move forward. Julie just seems a bit boring, he should be with a girl who’s more like him. :)
