DOMINICAN REPUBLIC, CARIBBEAN: 'The Trust: A Game of Greed' Season 1 contestant Julie Theis entered the Netflix show to earn a whopping cash prize of $250,000. Julie, along with her castmates, had to go through multiple trust-based games to see who would be standing at the end of the social experiment.

In the midst of the game, Julie seemingly found her forever-after partner, Jake Chocholous. Netflix show contestants Julie and Jake dished a perfect couple energy as they played strategic games together. Additionally, Julie was clearly totally into Jake and provided him with all the information that she received from her girl gang.

However, the viewers called out Julie for allegedly backstabbing her friends. A social media user tweeted, "Why am I not surprised with Julie giving info from the girls' alliance to Jake... Lawd."

Another person added, "Whoever chose these people bruh. 4 manipulative & back stabbing bitches vs 4 decent guys. Couldn't y'all have invited some guys with some spine and spite 🤦🏽‍♂️ Tolu - victim mentality, Julie - manipulative/gaslighting, Winnie - Sheep, Lindsey - Hot head."

A critic noted, "I hate women that are so men centred like this f***ing Julie thinking with her vjj 😡. I hope the girls find out what she did." Another Internet user penned, "Julie is really a snake right from the start."

Another X user stated, "Julie is not a girls girl," while someone else wrote, "JULIE CHOOSING JAKE OVER THE GIRLS AND TELLING HIM EVERYTHING!? this is exactly why they cant be a woman alliance ever.."

Are Julie Theis and Jake Chocholous still together?

Julie Theis eliminates Simone Stewart to save Jake Chocholous

Julie Theis' love for Jake Chocholous resulted in Simone Stewart's elimination. During the second trust ceremony, Mama Jay was upset with Jake and wanted him out of the house. Julie wanted to save Jake and she voted for Simone Stewart.

She thought that her decision would hopefully tie up Jay's perceived vote against Jake. However, Jay shockingly voted for Simone, which led to her eviction. Julie was left upset after Simone's elimination and could not help but feel immensely guilty about it.

Meanwhile, Jake's shocking step left Julie devastated as he chose Brian Firebaugh‘s name after host Brooke Baldwin asked the contestants to pick the person they felt the closest.
