We worked so hard for this, cable. A year of facelessly working twenty hours a day on Tattle. It was beautiful!

I was expecting tears the whole time, and I wish there was some handwashing post raw chicken handling, but that could've gone a lot worse. I thought the pineapple fact served her well, even if it's a little too convenient. I was impressed she even attempted to answer questions about why she is repping a premium brand. She didn't really answer it, but I was surprised, given the near tears, that she would even go there. All in all, deeply uncomfortable viewing.

I did put myself in her shoes for a minute and the high anxiety made a lot of sense. She didn't promote this anywhere. She knew we were all over it. She knew she was performing for an audience of diseased, faceless bullies. The horror.

Wash your hands, Jack. It's raw chicken.

Just watching Bake Off and David Baddiel is all up in her niche using tinned mandarins

It is reassuring to learn that Jack came into the world as a fully formed Manic Pixie Dream Baby.

If she didn't read she would honestly think her ratings were fans. Ignorance is bliss and all that. Also watch out for 🔺

Looks like she's just had her glasses on all day so she has very unflattering indents from where the frames have been resting which is making weird shadows. I have just sat and watched my poor Deliveroo driver wandering back and forth through the estate I live on trying to find my flat for longer than she was actively cooking. What a shambles (Jack that is, not my hopelessly lost lad on a bike, he was very nice).

And of course she was the most severely premature and ill baby. Is there anything she will not elevenerife? IS NOTHING SACRED?

I think the nose thing might be because she usually facetunes the duck out of it?

That poll is shocking, especially when you think that there may well be lurkers who read but haven't signed up!

Why is the camera showing it up backwards? Is that normal? Should she not be using the "proper" camera on the phone, not the selfie one?

I wondered about the close up nose but when she stood back it looked ok , weird.
It's not just that pic though, it's something I've been noticing for a while. It just seems to have widened enormously in the past few months 😬. But I shall say no more about it 😶

If one could give her the most amount of credit that is possible to give someone who is absolutely bleeping awful at presenting, particularly when performing the complicated task of taking breaths between her lines and indeed, preparing lines in the first place, and of course if one was to accept as a given that the food looked horrible and that her equipment seemed unclean - but, well now taking into account these seemingly ingrained, insurmountable hurdles, especially the ones about being fundamentally, bleeping useless and being unable to breath and talk in harmony (and one wouldn't even like to think how complicated things might get if she were to throw chewing gum into the mix) but if then one was trying to be very, very kind, one might say that she did perfectly *okay*.

I am going to try to look at this objectively. Who is the audience here, apart from us? Not her fans as she didn't promote it so we are assuming European fans of tinned fruit?

My Objective Thoughts
It was meant to be yesterday but due to the fact it might upstage a protest in our capital city it was moved to today
She was late and unprepared
Her style of presenting is awkward and unnatural and gives most people second hand cringe
I am sorry to comment on this but her voice is really not nice to listen to
The heavy breathing was unpleasant
Running off camera and forgetting a bowl and a tray is unprofessional
The recipe is not something most people would find inspiration from
She referred to one ingredient as 'dregs'
The 'here's one I prepared earlier' dish didn't look appetising or attractive
She had time to prepare answers to the questions at the end but still stumbled and didn't answer in full
At the end she was clearly reading from notes to the left of the camera/phone and sounded like an 8 year old in a school play - just - saying - words - out - loud - one - by - one

I bet my mortgaged house on the fact that not one Del Monte tin can of fruit will be purchased on the back of that 'live'.

Why do they hire her? Can someone insert here, 'who bleeping knows' please?

Had a bath to cleanse myself after all that raw chicken. I blame Edwina Currie for my hatred of chicken - the whole salmonella scare was when I was an anxious child. Then I remembered that Jack has had a run in with Edwina before; shame she didn’t educate her on bacteria.

Disclaimer that I didn’t watch because I dislike her so much that her mere existence jars me, but I don’t believe her quavery voice and close to tears act. In the Helen Lewis article I posted on the last thread she talks about the white Jewish professor who shamelessly went into classes pretending to be a Black woman, and taught in crop tops, hoops and cheetah print trousers. These compulsive liars will go to extremes to live their factitious symptoms convincingly. If a professional woman can - without shame - go and teach race theory while in blackface (bearing in mind that I’ve never seen a lecturer of any race dressed in less than firmly smart casual), you can bet that Jack - who quite literally robs from the poor to give to herself - can put on a trembly little voice to garner sympathy.

Something I noted with interest in that article is the name changes they all adopt to cover tracks. We can see from Jack’s “handcuffed together” stunt as a teen, through her blog and frequent participation in local politics, to her choice of career now as a talking head and general ubiquity, she’s not in any way anxious about her abilities and she loves attention. You simply wouldn’t put yourself forward to do a crap job again and again if there wasn’t an endgame. It’s all an elaborate act. Part of the tapestry of her victim cosplay.
