Jack Monroe #567 Wibble wibble, little mouse, thief who tried to grift a house

"better suited as a guest"

Speaking of, we are coming up on a busy and exciting month of momentous Jackiversaries.

April 13th-24th is the fourth anniversary of DKL, lost bobble face, thanks very Matt much Matt, the “it just does, doesn’t it” mince, and the thickening

And DURING that celebratory fortnight, we have not only the first anniversary of guest becoming guest on the 18th

But also the SECOND anniversary of Georgia Church Suppers (Enjoy!) on the 22nd

Maybe we should all draw big fancy hats on our avatars to celebrate? Or at least do another DKL watchalong. It feels…too momentous not to mark it all in some way.

Georgia Church Suppers will never get old. Absolute top tier Guestism.....

anyone else getting this ad? it’s the tiptoes skirt!

 

[SweetTransvestite]

Shhhh! I know it's early but, c'mon

 

[CrushedIcePlease]

A WHOLE YEAR since guest?! I remember belly laughing so hard and still love it now.

It’s the lower case g for me

 

[BeardyBap]

I feel the nation should pause to reflect on “it just does”.
Truly a high point in culinary broadcasting.

4 years and never been invited on SKL, I might piss my pants.

4 years and never been invited on SKL, I might piss my pants.

And been completely wiped from BBC and Cactus.
Matt probably had it written into his contract that he'd only return if she was banned from the building.

SMotF’s face and body language when she dismisses arborio rice is beaut: the gritted-teeth smile, the look off camera, the clawed hands, the tense shoulders. And this was day one …

 

[Valiofthedolls]

She’s really leaning into her Marvel Universe alter ego with this one

There are…other similarities

Can bench press the Queen

Spoiler: ETA

 

[rage naan]

I suddenly absolutely believe the Mr Security at the airport skateboard strap story. I just believe that it was her who pointed it out to him and asked his opinion. Those guys are the most hardened sardonic sourpusses in uniform.
guest: Hi! Don’t forget to check my board, man hahahaha! What you think of my strap idea, eh? Eh?
Mr Security: Hmm. You should totally patent that Miss I mean Sir wait WHAT ARE YOU? [runs away to hide in the Interrogation Room, shooketh]

do you reckon the one who told her to patent it was ignorant and belligerent

ETA how many times did she go to America?!

 

[YerDa]

If you want to see the dynamic between SMotF and guest - and how truly unprofessional she is - you can watch her visibly huff with fury when she’s not main character: 29:30 into DKL Episode 10. How she ever thought this cheeky lil duo would be recommissioned …

Hilariously, this is very shortly after he accuses her of stealing ideas from THAT MAN and just after she says she has to pretend she’s learned something from Matt over the preceding two weeks.

 

[Florid Language]

I don't know who posted the C4 news clip from 2016 or the origins of the debate/argument on Twitter but most of the people commenting are adding the word 'grifter' to their tweets about guest with no fear of her flying monkeys appearing.
It really is a beautiful thing to see and reinforces to me that her reputation is in tatters.
The Sue Lee episode is also getting quite a few mentions too.
There's nowhere for her to go now. If she tries the budgeting angle the invisible VBI would be brought up again and haunt her around the internet.
It's all self inflicted.

 

[HotesTilaire]

Unfathomably, it's still up for sale.

Go on Hotes, you know you want to. A cheeky lil Easter treat for yourself...

Sorry, I’ve spent my Easter money on a demon bunny cake topper made of black icing.

The idea that US airport staff would double take at a “Jack” is laughable ofc. This is the land of Chip, Flip, and La-A, not to mention international travellers from all corners passing through. But since her and Big Showaddywaddy Lin were in NYC and Florida on that trip (so at least one internal flight) I’d say “airports…time and time again” = one holiday.

Can't remember the episode (but I believe it was the horse spunk lasagne one) but at one point she stamps her food and waves her hand at matt whilst he's interviewing someone because she's annoyed the attention isn't on her.
The focus is on Matt talking to the telly (I think to the vegetable Knowledge lady) and the camera pulls back to a wide shot with Jack visible at the edge. She's faffing around cooking and doesn't like the banter Matt has with the guest. She stamps her foot and starts flapping her hand to interrupt him she has the face of a child throwing a tantrum.
His face is hilarious. At first he's confused but a split second later he turns to thunder and you can see him clenching his jaw. He was fuming at her rudeness. However he carried on like a professional.

Rushed here as I saw that guest was trending on Xitter, and caught up with the comments.

Lovely, everyone, lovely

I believe she’s working on that very lasagne. When the camera does go back to her she comments something like “when you two are quite finished”.
I refuse to subject myself to it again to verify

Universally anti Jack comments. What is funny is that it is accounts from both sides of the debate ridiculing her.

 

[MurielSnark]

It's a great sign that any social media mentions are now (a) confined to discussing Jack in the distant past and (b) universally critical. The grift is dead. Don't bother coming back, Jack -- get a job and figure out how you're going to live the rest of your life.

The only thing funnier than Jack being schooled in gender politics by some people far more intelligent than her is today's roasting of Jonathan Gullis with #SeaGullis. Xitter can still be a force for good.
