Did she mention it on her Instagram even?

 

[Deej]

She’s already back on Twitter chatting about her birthday cake. She’ll never alert her Twitter followers to her Instagram nonsense, because she doesn’t want them to know that she actually earns a very nice living advertising the things she pretends she can’t afford.

I literally must have missed it by like 5 minutes but it's up on their grid now!

 

[Walkdengirl]

At about 13 mins in, did someone shout in her ear "Jack this is truly terrible, we are donating your fee to a charity of our choice"? Because it honestly looked like she was about to burst into tears.

You mean when she stopped doing anything to listen to what was being said in her ear?

Could it have been Mr forearms?!

 

[Shesaidwhat?]

I have to be honest I feel a bit of a fraud saying I watched it when in reality I got to about six minutes in and bailed. Did anyone else have to explain to their other half why all of a sudden you’ve become deeply invested in a Del Monte live?

Riiiight ....

P.S the 'tampon ' pineapple is now the 'full of sweets ' pineapple .

That was just like the DKL days, I am an hour ahead of most of the lads and have laggy internet, still glorious though.

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.

I wondered if it was the roast potatoes from her breakfast.

When she was asked about promoting canned food, I felt her answer wasn't strong - she came off as trying to apologise for canned vs healthy and trying to claim that canned is just as healthy as fresh fruit (which I don't think it is?)

Answer should have been: canned food is convenient to have in your cupboard- you don't have to worry about using it up in a certain time frame, good to have in pandemic times when you can't just go out all the time to pick things up, and (I can't believe she didn't make this point), canned food is often what people using food banks have to use.

I've never bought much tinned fruit before but I now make sure I have a can or 2 in the cupboard. I like fruit with yoghurt at lunch and sometimes I run out of fresh the day or 2 before my grocery delivery. I also keep some tins/frozen food in as my emergency if-I-have-to-self-isolate supplies.

96! Ninety six viewers were tattlers how embarrassing

I voted no to watching but I saw the first few seconds - had she not kept us waiting, I would have seen much more . I wonder if she’ll ever say why she was late, it’s really poor form to do that and not apologise.

I’m sorry to hear she was anxious, it’s not a nice place to be. But as others have said, I’ve never seen a video where she hasn’t been shaking like a shitting dog so where do you draw the line?

Even though she’s annoyed me for a year I’ve always felt a bit...ok about her if that makes sense. She’s really annoyed me in the last week though, she’s got under my skin more than ever before. I wish her no harm but it’s wearing a bit thin that she’s not a good person yet sails through life without impunity.

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?

I thought she had forgot to put the pineapple on the base. was a bit disappointed really.

 

[Sideboard Bob]

Thank you for the new thread and poll @Pocahontas ! 98* of us so far! I have nothing to add, but since it’s her birthday, her hair looked decent

*and counting

Get out of here with your well constructed, fact based answers, genial attitude and sensible advice.

Fairly sure del Monte don’t have to declare their own ads unless they’re actually advertising Jack

She’s clearly posting for them. They should’ve done far more research.

 

[MarthaFarkus]

So glad I missed this. Watching her gives me the anxieties.

P.S that dish looks like hell.

I thought she was going to turn it out, like a cake, so that the pineapple was at the bottom. Can you imagine the chaos which would have ensued if she had attempted that, though?

 

[Hollaaa]

Anyone debating whether to watch it, you'll cringe so hard you won't need to do your pelvic floors for the rest of the month.
So there's that going for it.
