Jack Monroe #165 She’s in a fugue state

[heretoreaditall2019]

New Casio watch at the end - will try to triangulate after bedtime x

 

[Brian Butterfield]

Well... I don’t know what to say

Neither did Jack.

She was so nervous I felt rather bad for her...but at this point in her career she really needs to crack the nerves and the prep and the presentation skills...or understand that on camera cooking isn't right for her.

 

[hydeist]

God it wasn't even that bad - compared to the mayo nightmare this was quite professional for her. I almost feel bad that she knows half the viewers are just us taking the piss.

 

[Orphan_Black]

Well done, Jack! That wasn't an absolute hot mess! You deserve some cake!

 

[Fruitjack]

Please can the thread start with a poll about whether we watched live, so we'll know how many real people watched?

Edit: You know what I mean.

She looks and sounds exactly like I would if I was doing this (I'm not a great cook and I hate talking to cameras but then I didn't make cooking on camera my job).

 

[Mr Krabs]

I couldn't get it to work. Is someone archiving for future generations to admire?

 

[BustardFluggers]

Fuckin ell. I’m knackered after watching that train crash!

 

[CabalofBolorneaise]

I do feel bad for her that she got more and more anxious towards the end, but this is what, at least the 5th or 6th time this has happened?

At some point, she has to accept that live cooking videos are not in her wheelhouse, and if she continues to force herself, it’s on her.

 

[MrsOgre]

Why did her hands still look manky even though she was handling the raw chicken. Has she still not learnt to wash her hands?

 

[Harrybosch]

Someone from the Del Monte team is definitely getting sacked after this.

Canned fruit is better for you than fresh fruit apparently.

Must be a fact, she loves facts.

 

[Lumpyspaceprincess]

Bad preparation does make you nervous as well.

why not marinade it in the tin you are cooking it in? Why create washing up.

 

[Lizziliz]

I don’t know whether to laugh or cry after that...

 

[pumpkincandle]

Same. The visibly shaking hands did it for me. I think anyone who has experienced anxiety will know how she’s feeling right now. She’ll probably have a little cry when it’s over. I hate the grifting and the lies but I really don’t enjoy watching someone this vulnerable.

Part of me feels like that then I remember how she screamed and screamed for her own tv show when lockdown started. Also, how many years has she been doing this now? There are things she absolutely should have done to make it easier - like just having the bowl and roasting tin ready. So I feel a bit sorry for anyone who sounds anxious but also generally fucked off at the grift.

 

[Showmethemoonie]

Can we have a poll of how many tattlers watched live so we know what % of the total we made up - I’m thinking at least 75%

She said it'll be uploaded to watch again.

Good idea!

This. Stop taking paychecks for something you aren't good at.
