We’re already at 54 tattlers having watched, so about a third of her views? Given DM Europe are unlikely to read, we’ve done her a bit of a solid really.

Hopefully now she can relax a bit and enjoy what’s left of her birthday with I assume Louisa or her Mum as the eye contact she was making was too high for SB (based on normal 10 year old height, I don’t know how tall he is specifically), I imagine it was playing on her mind all day.

There was a very good point made at the end of the last thread: it wasn't upside down. It should have been called cinnamon chicken with pineapple.

Do we think she realises that pineapple upside down cake is so named because it is, in fact, cooked upside down?
Review: Neither the chicken, nor the pineapple, nor the presenter were upside down. Not as advertised.

I opted not to add to the viewing numbers.

What caused her to be near in tears? was it one of the prepared questions?

If it was anxiety in her that caused the upset, she needs to find other work and quit looking for pity from strangers and maybe speak to a doctor if beta-blockers, SSRIs and therapy is not helping her
She was actually I thought a lot better in her cooking segment than the prepared questions. I think it was a combo of that she realised it was obvious she was reading the answers and started tripping over her words, and that the adrenaline that got her through the first bit had worn off.

As I said last thread, I do feel sorry for her regarding her obvious genuine anxiety in front of the camera, but it’s happened so many times now that it’s on her that she keeps forcing herself to do live videos. They’re not in her wheelhouse, and that’s okay, she shouldn’t keep making herself do them.

It's genuinely mind boggling that she doesn't Tweet and say I'm about to be live over on Del Monte insta. Perhaps she's worried that still only a couple of hundred out of 350k would actually tune in. Something is not right there at all. Pretty sure the whole point of a collab is to advertise it to your followers.

I can't get over how filthy that roasting tin she put the chicken in was. I will never get over it. It looked like there was muddy water in it? Also, the 'here's one I prepared earlier' looked gross, and she has no excuse for that. She prepared it earlier!

I’ve obviously spent far too much time on tattle, predicted the airpod, the salmonella and the thread filling. Still can’t believe she only bought chicken today, what was she going to use yesterday? And why was it pineapple upside down? Does she really not understand the meaning of words?

thanks to all those brave fraus who watched.

I don't think that was supposed to happen.

I think at least 80% of her viewers from here. How much would one expect from a gig like that?!

I have a limit to the amount of cringe so I will never watch this. Bravo to the cabal who did. Like others I don’t like to see people struggle, or get anxious and not be able to do something.
However - she wants to get paid to do it. She wants a tv show. She has had multiple chances. Also, if you knew you had severe anxiety about cooking live research some techniques to help. Go for the Blue Peter this is one I prepared earlier for each stage.
practice and practice some more. She is lazy and unprepared and then will blamed her adhd or anxiety.
I can’t believe I am giving her advice when she is so mean spirited.

I really understand the empathy from the group about her stress levels but please remember she signed up for it and is receiving handsome financial reward!

If you can't stand the heat get out of the kitchen, Jack!

I believe the residue in the roasting tin was probably from the pre-cooked batch from earlier. Sitting out all day so effectively salmonella juice rendering the new chicken inedible.

Completely agree with you. It's just not her forte, and that's ok! I'd love to be able to do many things that I just can't. Life is life, like herbs be herbs.

I really felt for her crumpling up near the end, anxiety makes you feel so exposed and vulnerable, so why does she do it?!

Thanks for the new thread @Pocahontas 😊

How many of us are actively avoiding Del Monte in future? 🙋 I put mayo on my shopping list the other day and wrote 'not Hellman's' next to it so I didn't forget 😂
