Grackle #2

[Former_Antelopee]

I like how when she was saying she was going to dinner with her “friend” she decided just to go in what she was already wearing and not dress up. I don’t like how it’s expected that people should wear the best clothes or put a lot of make up on etc when going on dates. Because if things do get serious I’d prefer the person to know what I’d be like normally rather than how I’d be on a few occasions

Is it just me who thought she hyped up trader joes so much and then didn’t even like half the stuff she bought! Boring video and lacked any real effort, I also find she just tries too hard to be ‘quirky’ now…

 

[vanessavmateo]

100%. It’s unbearable to watch now. I understand that her USP is being excitable & naive but it’s hard to watch a 23 year old woman play up to that.

100% i agree. I really used to enjoy grace's videos and still think shes a lovely girl but shes trying too hard to be quirky and unique and in the process of that completely made herself unbearable to watch in my opinion. I just cant stand her anymore and she needs to grow up

 

[Applespice]

Does she have a non-rave thread in tattle? I cant find one. I dont know why but she really grates on me and feels very overrated in how everyone seems to love her. I see so many other youtubers being heavily criticised for very minor things and I don't understand why grace is deemed to be so perfect.
I know I'll be jumped on for saying this but I cant find another thread and cant make one yet!

 

[HilaQueen]

If you read my comment carefully maybe you would see I'm critizing the people making these comments, not Grace herself. I didn't even mention an ED? At all?

You compared her eating to her father's. If you can't see how that's ridiculous then I can't help you.

I find it ridiculous that people think her eating carefully and mindfully is room for concern.

I don't know how you guys think you stay a healthy figure, but no one at a healthy weight attained that without conscientious eating habits
Carefree eating leads to being overweight and unhealthy.
To be healthy and a safe weight, you have to be mindful and careful with what you eat - control your portions as to not to over eat AND not undereat

There's no such thing as mindless eating and staying a healthy weight. The idea people think it's concerning that Grace is conscious about what she consuming is just ridiculous.

 

[anonwatcher]

Aww, she’s just announced she’s pregnant

 

[opal73]

I can't imagine Grace getting engaged, she seems so inexperienced and they haven't been together a year. Her brother and sister both got married suddenly though so, I guess it's possible.

 

[poollounger]

I think she does these challenges because its something new for her, not because she thinks its the most out of the ordinary thing to wake up at half 5 in the morning. Its the same as doing a week on plant based or something, its not say that she invented it, its just documenting an interesting change in routine.

Yeah exactly! I personally do find it interesting to watch because I never get up that early and never would unless I had to for work. So I'd rather watch Grace do it and tell me what it's like so I don't have to put the effort in and try for myself lol

 

[traumatised sideboard]

I would also like the over-used phrases to die a death. Grace seems like a fundamentally lovely person and her dad is hilarious but the phrases and the excited over-reactions to mundane things are really starting to grate on me. When she says she's done 'a complete 360' instead of a 180 it's the worst. 360 degrees is a full circle, that means you're back where you started! It also bothers me that she did that week of zero waste but doesn't seem to have taken anything from it. That video where she did the sweet jars, the amount of packaging was terrible! I find Editing Grace much funnier and more natural than when she's filming the main parts of the video, it's closer to how she was when she first started on YouTube.

I hope having a relationship will make her mature a bit more, I think part of the issue is that she has been stuck at home, not working a real job (like so many people of her age atm) and just mixing with the same people. I think this relationship could really be good for her. Her content is very similar to her friend Clickfor Taz who actually seems to be getting less mature as time goes on, I hope she doesn;t go down that route

I can't stand Taz anymore, she's a sell out and so fake. I feel like as long as Grace still lives with her family she will be fine, they seem to keep her grounded because they have non-online jobs, so she sees and hears the real struggles whereas some other youtubers/influencers tend to get so stuck in their own little influencer world they don't know anymore what's going on outside that. Grace seems aware enough. I really hope, too, she doesn't go down that route. Since her siblings moved out she already got a lot less mature (more childlike) and often it makes it harder for me to watch her videos, but when she's more her normal relaxed self (in stead of the version of herself she feels like she should put on (like the shouty kind)) and just chit chats about this and that I really like watching her. Her normal voice is very pleasant to me.

I feel like Grace is one of the only YouTubers who means it when they say xmas isn't all about getting presents. She genuinely cherishes the time spent with family and giving back.

I really agree, I love how she's not buying all kinds of expensive stuff left right and center to show off how much money she's making. I, too, feel like she would be happier with a very touching/emotional letter than with an expensive bag.
Grace is clearly a giver and I love that so much about her, it's one of her best qualities in my opinion. It's really clear that she really gets a lot of satisfaction from preparing something for someone and giving it to them, I feel like that is a gift almost as much to herself as to the other person and I really like this about her, I hope she never loses it.

 

[Lizeeh]

yeah is it just me or has she become more kind of hysterical recently?

100%. It’s unbearable to watch now. I understand that her USP is being excitable & naive but it’s hard to watch a 23 year old woman play up to that.

 

[Ellie_Rose]

I really like Grace but I’m finding these sponsored ads for BBC iPlayer a bit transparent. She never usually talks about modelling but all of a sudden she’s like ‘I used to be a model and that’s why I enjoy watching this modelling show on iPlayer!’ Like ok, you never talk about modelling because it doesn’t fit the aesthetic of your channel but you’re happy to mention it for sponsorship money?

 

[Hubert]

I’m not sure she knows the connotation behind “it just hits different” tbh. I’m always surprised she uses that so frequently.

What is the connotation behind ‘it hits different?’ I’ve never thought it had a rude meaning and couldn’t find anything when I looked it up

 

[kissfm]

Soz for off topic but the name of the show is so unnatural it’s not like “I’m watching friends” it’s like “I’m watching Models:Street To Catwalk on BBC iPlayer” at this point I feel like I’ve watched it myself with these 200 ads on it

 

[caterday28]

It is impressive but to be fair, unless you're a supermodel modelling doesn't pay that much, you hear about girls being exploited and made to share tiny flats with many other models and being paid pennies to be flown around the world non stop. So unless she mentioned she was making good money and I missed that I could see how she could have realised it wasn't worth it pretty quickly

She was in high-end fashion modelling. She modelled for brands like Burberry and was labelled as "one to watch" - she may well have ended up making a lot of money.

 

[rivers]

Came to the thread from that tiktok! Haven't been watching much of her content lately because it's got kinda boring tbh but she's still a sweetheart and I'm so pleased for her

 

[FishCustard]

She took the video down really quickly. It was a reply to the comment saying that she was an amazing human. In it Grace said no she wasn’t and in the last few days she had said a lot of things that she didn’t mean to and hurt people by saying these things. Just showing that she’s also human too, and that we all make mistakes but are learning. No one is perfect.

 

[pinkmango]

Can’t believe she made a video trying the different toasting abilities on an air fryer thing (yet again) and how golden they become.. getting gassed when the dark setting didn’t make the toast dark. Honestly her content has became so dreary and boring, Opening up with her life even a little bit more, being more real, showing different aspects of her life such as maybe what it was like starting dating at 24 would really pick her channel up, even if she doesn’t want to show ~him~ she could still talk about it.. but it seems she wants to be stuck doing the same content forever. She has a problem with always sticking to her same routine, she can’t even cut her hair a few inches or colour it slightly lighter without having a panic.

I completely agree I also think her parents never really pushed them out of their comfort zones as children which is what’s made them to be this way. For example I’m sure grace said before but growing up tv was only allowed on Fridays, they went to the same place every summer and was in a pretty fixed routine which has clearly affected grace now as an adult as she doesn’t like change or doing new things.

But I don’t understand why she’s so afraid of trying to new hair, makeup and even clothes when she was a literal model?

 

[Lizzie Mintdrop]

No one would mention Grace's religion if she wasn't a Christian. It's still bigotry and religious intolerance even when they are a white Christian. Grace has every right to practice her religion and follow the cultures of that religion and she has a right to do so without being criticised or judged for it. And I'm saying that as an atheist.

 

[toastedwoofles]

I agree sometimes it can feel abit tense especially when you can clearly see there's a cut in the video I always wonder what happened.

I moved out at 18 and never moved back home. Not because i had a poor relationship with my parents but because I never felt I could mature living there. I was still treated like a child and still, to be honest, acted like a child. As soon as I moved out i noticed a massive difference.

I'm not saying Grace HAS to move out, but she seems stuck in her student days and in reality she's an adult. I can't imagine her dating, taking criticism from a boss or managing a team at work for example.

Anyway, I've had a wine and I'm off on a tangent...

Ultimately, I like Grace but I think she'd grate on me as well if I'd been at work all day and she's made a 3 course dinner on rations and is narrating the meal to me
