Hannah Ricketts

[Mark81]

She's really upped the Lucy Punch type character these days. Also what's with the 'your girl' every 5 mins. And her entitlement of free things is odd, it's not super common to get free food in every 5 star hotel.

That said quite enjoying the hotel vlogs. I just miss old, more authentic, Hannah

 

[She_Who_Cant_Be_Named]

Does anyone else remember Hannah mentioning about wanting to go down the blind reaction route?!

Her premise being sent videos and doing blind react stitches to them, that was when I started to see she was more fame hungry wishing to go viral which we are seeing now with the bad facial expressions in her thumbnails

She has always had a high opinion of herself

 

[JulesWake]

The few older vlogs I watched were decent. Do think she talks just to hear herself, which gets old fast. The turnoff for me is the adulation along with randoms giving her tips. Clickbait titles with the ridiculous thumbnail of her various facial expressions. Some of the things she claims happen I now doubt. Like coming across rude people at Nobu. It's just something to talk about and have people feel bad for her? How do we know she wasn't vile to those individuals first. She is disingenuous at this point. These are things I didn't see a few months ago. imo it seems that many vloggers are quite likeable in the beginning, but not for long.

For somebody supposedly so cultured, she is having quite a bit of trouble pronouncing the word "Wagyu".

If you can't be good, be accurate.

 

[miserysorrow]

Clickbait

Its quite astounding how much she has become everything she looked down on

I agree and admittedly I still like her videos but NGL I've always found service was SLOW as hell in the Pizza Express restaurants (mostly in Ireland, I've gotten it before in the UK and I don't remember it being as slow but then again it's been years)... even with the clickbaity nature of the video I still agreed with her about Pizza Express particularly with the online vouchers LOL

 

[miserysorrow]

I watched that KFC video a few days ago and wow, she’s really bad at acting, particularly in the role of princess trying civilian things for the first time. The accent is so exaggerated these days that I can barely understand her, and the overacted disgust at the meal was ridiculous. You’ve been to KFC before Hannah, stop trying so hard.

Yes I notice the accent is really put on in recent videos, her KFC video was kinda weird?? She may not be an average KFC enjoyer but she has definitely tried it LOL
Also the scathing review she gave it kinda made me laugh

 

[Mark81]

Ok, is she dumb or just acting it. I couldn't believe this in The Shard video....

"if you are coming to the UK you need to be aware that for 8 months of the year it's totally dark by 3-4pm"

Thats just massively inaccurate, and everyone knows it. More importantly she is spreading misinformation. I wouldn't be surprised if hotels start clocking her as reviewing is one thing. But shes being repeatedly negative over small things, or just wrong on stuff. Something that could impact their business.

She is coming off more and more like walk with me Tim, and thats not a compliment. Shes moaning more and more (sometimes over very petty stuff or she is just ignorant on), and also showing a lack of knowledge on things. Her entitlement on 'freebies' in the room is quite something too.

Im trying to block her out when watching, but its getting harder and harder as shes made herself the focus of the videos.

 

[Mark81]

This is how I feel about Hannah these days

 

[miserysorrow]

I had a feeling she was quite privileged especially when you look at earlier videos but jaysus her ignorance reeks sometimes, even worse when she tries to hide it like girl we were all rooting for you anyway regardless of your background!!!

She often mispronounces things, though mostly seems aware of it. I find it surprising though …

 

[miserysorrow]

Okay I'm watching her Nobu hotel review and her ranting about her experience is so dramatic my God Also not to be a pessimist but I don't think De Niro gives a tit whether she had a poor experience or not, even if he does co-own the hotel company - then again there was definitely a sense of entitlement and yeah as someone said there's so little transparency to how she got some of the goodies (or lack of in her opinion) so she's probably telling a few porkies methinks

Ive been waychjng her for a while now just for background noise tbh, i appreicate that she isnt paid and is open about it. I have no idea what her actual job is, but i assume she kind of wants to move into youtube full time? No idea but thisnis the impression i get. Can't imagine it's cheap going to these hotels and paying it all. I agree, I think it must be a difficult line to draw as I know with reviews of anything (and I remember reading an interview with Jay Rayner, ex restaurant critic in the guardian) that his negative reviews were the ones that got hugeeee engagement. It must be tempting to try and court that kind of thing (also who is walk with me tim?)

Obviously her experience seemed pretty bad, but it seems like each review she does now just seems more and more negative. Which I think reflects what I siad in my other comment

I honestly think she does this for engagement, whenever people mispronounce things loads of people comment

Hi @emm good to see you here, also to hear your take on the mispronunciation. I hadn’t thought of her doing that to attract more engagement, that would be clever of her. Of course there would always be people who would correct her … thanks for that insight. Hannah can really talk and I have her on as background noise too, sometimes when I am working.

Have you watched yesterday’s vlog yet, at the Langham? That was really funny … a previous occupant had eaten the KitKat chunky from the minibar/snack tray.

She does make me laugh sometimes, some of the things she comes out with. I’m fairly new to this thread but someone on here said she has a f-t job working for Disney.

 

[zebby]

Who do we think ate the KitKat Chunky?

I miss the shopping/afternoon tea vlogs , the hotel ones are ok, the food ones..meh! Like you all say, these new ones are making her money so why would she stop. I don't watch her as much anymore.

Yeh I'd like a hotel one every now and then, maybe once a month at the most, but they're all quite similar. I think they could be much shorter than they are too

 

[Mark81]

Noticed she dropped her birthday in. Wonder how much she will make from super thanks in honour of her birthday.

I get why shes doing all this, but shes completely sold herself and gone against her integrity.

Also her 'these videos are just some silliness and a bit of fun', well, no. If you want to be taken seriously as a reviewer you should be putting effort in and care. But I have noticed the videos are getting rougher around the edges and quite samey.

I would watch more if she stuck to shopping and afternoon tea with the occasional hotel vlog. I see I'm not missing much.
