I agree! They are both narcs, but while SJ is the one who has nothing to gain but a lot to lose, Snorty has everything to gain and nothing to lose.

Well you could be right - they definitely keep their own company most of the time that’s true. I just can’t see a text book narc such as SJ allowing anyone to completely control her in that way though unless it’s because he is exactly what she wants and it is serving her well right now.

He certainly could be trying to secure his position by removing anyone he perceives as a threat to his no 1 spot and asserting some coercive control whilst seemingly sycophantically rushing & pandering to her very call - darling. Perhaps he is a better actor than we all give him credit for.

Definitely agree whatever game he is playing it is serving him very very well & is providing his ‘dream’ life. We can only speculate ..& watch & learn (and in the meantime tattle! )

My French is trop limited to macquerau et fromage, even though you'd think my degree in French law would have somewhat widened my vocabulaire.
Per the Association docs posted by @arthur taking a stab in the dark that this stipulates stuff about meetings?

Nope…9:00 am my time in Kentucky (when I posted)! I don’t want anyone to confuse me with Fanny!
I had this conversation yesterday about USA time difference and seems I’ve forgotten it already. .

I don't completely believe he (Philip) set out to isolate Stephanie. More likely he's so obnoxious, that nobody wants to be around him, unless they have to.
But doesn't her entourage visit her regularly?

Speaking about Michael. I just think he became more of a hassle than worth to Stephanie. The extreme mood swings. Stephanie does like to collect vulnerable people and play with them, when she is done, they are discarded. Unfortunately for her, she created this comedic soap opera of toxic positivity, so she can never explain why people never return to HMN.
Finally, Michael had that gay cruise in Madrid for 2-3 months. Pretending to be Stephanie's boy-toy never hurt his cruising game, more likely, Michael coming out hurt Stephanie in the way, that they couldn't pretend and dupe people anymore. Which we all know is how Stephanie gets her kicks.

I miss him in the vlogs he was fun and Fanny was more natural around him and less uptight and tightly wound. She even wore jeans back then
The vlogs were better when he was in them.
I knew from the first time I saw him that he was most likely gay so how people didn’t see it is beyond me but it didn’t matter to me. I knew they weren’t really a couple. These women that built complete fantasies around those two thinking they were dating….. I often wondered if they were seeing the same things I was seeing. To me, it was less about the possibility that they were a couple and more about the fun that they had together.
They just had a natural chemistry. They seemed so at ease with each other. But I did notice that the last few times they were together, that was gone. They have both changed a lot since those early days of the Vlogs and, in my opinion, things did not flow as easily between them. Felt awkward.

spot on, I always knew they were just friends she would have liked more. Something definitely has happened between them he has been well and truly shunned and these were the things that made me question Fanny's character

This is interesting. I wonder if you are correct. Hence the lack of renovations due to cash flow issues. She also had to pay the NT I don’t think that would of been cheap.
@Clara Burnett, has Stephanie already dealt with or is dealing with her tax problems? Is this the reason why the renovations and projects have stopped?

That Greenleaf tablecloth is gorgeous. So simple yet decorative. Looks hand stamped in L’Indienne style. Love it. I’ve bought so much tableware in India
I love it too and think it is much more the route their outdoor dining should go.

I love it too and think it is much more the route their outdoor dining should go. Get us chatting about tablecloths all thanks to the tables cape murderer that is Putrid Pubealot

If as has been said, Pheeph got rid of Marie, helped trounce Selmar, may have ousted Dan....the jury is out, I think. The horridness of his use of the word "we" in giving the tours feels like evidence, but it isn't really.
There was a real sexual frisson between MP and SJ, and real DIY talent on MP's part, which doesn't exist with Pheeph. Did Michael say no way will there be bisexual open relationship, because I do not, cannot, shall not, swing that way? She did give him the bum's rush. If she did it for his coming out she deserves every lash Pheeph can dish.

I forgot about him eliminating the competition... I must have mentally filed that under him being so obnoxious.

Good points! She hadn't really established her pattern of using and discarding people back then... Michael was among the first. Oh how I wish he'd do some talking but he never will, he's trapped in the chateaverse web with too much to lose.

Like all successful YOUTUBERS SJ craves and values the grift. Her Achilles Heel is her attachment to spending, collecting and a great love of her idea of luxury - (decidedly downmarket in my opinion). The more she shows us that she’s allowing the house boy to spend ”our” money up large on crappola and “Oh look we’ve been upgraded yet again’ travel, the more she’ll piss people off. Snorts is so up himself, so soft-mouthed and annoying and he’s such a nonentity, pasty combover twat, I can’t even be bothered analysing him - prize prick is all I can run to today.
