There were rumors circulating that Julia had asked to be co-hosted after she found out that Dr. Chris would leave the show.

“Which was wise when she joined the network by not unsubscribing from any of the men she tested against,” they added.

Julia also won’t make any suggestive comments about Robert because everyone knows it won’t be viewed negatively.
