I think they are getting so stressed because for probably the first time ever they are having to do as they are told and put societal benefit before their own selfish needs & wants. Nadia has been on the LW ( doing what.....chatting!) gravy train for ever enabling Manky to dabble and indulge himself. They can’t manage rules or parameters.....home schooling, drink driving , over eating., staying in....... Two naughty petulant children sulking and tantruming because they can’t have it all their own way for once. Sadly Youtube gives them an audience for their attention seeking.....and even more sadly they are getting paid for it. It won’t stop any time soon...
On another subject...I could murder some crisps right now.....
The gravy train has reached the end of the line, so we see similar people in their industry (and other industries) adapting how they work / entertain aka make money. However, talent is what sells (or your soul in the v short term - e.g. Big Brother/ Prancing on Ice) and talent is in short supply in SA household. At the same time, TV hasn't died out completely but no one appears to be banging at N's door and this has been the case for some time. Do you think her Ch 4 show has been recommissioned? I watched half of the first one, as they had promoted it so heavily on YT. However, I had to switch off as when she's doing 'foreign accents' or pronouncing the name of any food that is not of Anglo-Saxon origin, I feel like I'm watching a 70s sitcom. It's 2020.
Spot on re the rules and parameters! This reminds me of when N made a WWatchers Cowboy something recipe. Throughout, every modification they had made to reduce fat, sugar or overall calories she overrode with, "I don't like that, so I'm going to add this." Starting, of course with replacing spray oil with 'good oil'. In principle, I agree with her (although we have different definitions when it comes to measures, 'sparingly', '1 teaspoon' etc) but then I have never professed to be cooking low calorie / WWatchers meals.
None of them has the discipline or stamina to do the amount of work to make YouTube or anything else a success in the long term, hence their knackered appearance, tip of a home and constant moaning. As I described in a previous post, they have had no real content since November and the culmination of the previous months' content, i.e. The Cop a Feel Trek fizzled to nothing, in terms of YT content during or after. Being a Youtuber is a more than full time job (yes, incorporating all of the jobs they keep moaning would ordinarily done by someone else in the TV company, inc dealing with the tech and wifi limitations, typing up your stolen recipes and making up your own quiz questions); neither of them has ever had a full time job before for any length of time.
Even promoting themselves as 'mental health' advocates is a farce (if not dangerous). They keep referring anyone who voices any (often quite serious) problem to the same two websites (that they have had a working relationship with), like a public service announcement at the end of Hollyoaks. They have gained no qualifications in the field between them and cannot recommend a single book / research paper either of them has read recently; there is no rigour in anything they do. Their lack of mental health expertise is further evidenced by M describing in great detail how someone with depression might access the Alcoholics Anonymous website. Whoa!
On another subject... I watched the beginning of Saturday's Quiz and N shut down M's foulness straight away - chewing a banana with his mouth open
(she actually spoke my mind for the first time in a long time. I genuinely felt for her and applauded her approach.), wearing two pairs of glasses, goading her with food hidden under his hat etc. Basically, acting like an utter Richardtard. This meant I could watch the beginning of the quiz. I really enjoyed it until N started mentioning she had done a live about overeating and then stuffed a mystery number of packets of crisps literally down her throat. She didn't even chew. I went back to my book.
