So which Santorini hotel gave them an UPGRADE out if this lot ?

God Snorts is whiter than the famous buildings, let's hope they keep his body under wraps (jumpers and jeans his usual attire)
I just cannot believe she claims this is her first holiday in two years! What a C U Next Tuesday! Also has Snorts been informed that all Greek food involves lemons? His allergies, everyone! Never forget the only fascinating facet of his personality. I hope he gets sun poisoning.

What’s fantastic is that SJ and her minions can’t control the in-person meeting. They can’t block you or delete your comments. They have to listen and answer. It will probably be a word salad of confusing responses, but they can’t ignore you (well, I suppose they could ignore you, but not a good move on their part).

My guess is that things will be orchestrated at La Lande in such a way that will prevent you @Isabelle6541 from getting too close to ask the questions. I might be wrong…I hope I’m wrong.
I'd like to agree Ky, but I doubt they'll listen and I doubt they'll answer. I also think at the first awkward question, Isabelle and friends will be asked to leave the property. If they persist in their questions, they'll be told they are upsetting all the lovely guests and spoiling the party for everyone. They will then be ordered to leave and escorted from LieLande. They could also be threatened with legal action if they don't. I also hope I'm wrong.

But no, Fanny wants to go to one of the most popular islands (though I bet Sir Snorts had wished it was Mykonos with its gay bars!).
I don’t know much, but I know one thing…Snorts is definitely avoiding the Isle of Lesbos like the plague! 😀

May happen but they should not underestimate the number of us and the fact that we will have our own lawyers with us. I would hope with cameras rolling and is playing nice they will do the same.

Same - I'm strangely fascinated by It's a Wonderful Life couple - but something about their relationship makes me weirded out a bit. They are not in any way nasty with each other - but she has a little girl act to her and appears fragile but then he does too at times. He never acts like a little boy though.

Is it possible he's doing a work slowdown until she commits money to heat and repair of masonry walls in the grand salon?
I thought that. I felt he had on his《 I'm not stopping the winter if you don't sort the heating 》face

Stephanie really is super addicted to her social media now. She can’t go for more than a day without posting anything. She was able to shut off when she went to South Africa, and release prerecorded boring as crap videos. In just 7 months since then, she is playing this weird “Where’s Waldo?” game online.
I’m wondering if it’s not as much addiction to social media, but severe anxiety instead? She’s so anxious about the growing negative feedback, and the impending Patron Day, that she’s more desperate to control the narrative. Maybe she thinks that by continuing to post additional content she’s somehow able to be in more control, and that helps ease her anxiety to some extent? She wouldn’t have to do that if she kept everything open and transparent…so she’s really creating her own anxiety riddled world.

if he is quater of the master carpenter as he claimed to be he probably knows that all his work would be for nothing (i. e. good only for nice big stake) if heating is not sorted asap.

Allegedly, they left at midnight for their “only holiday they were desperate for after working their fingers to the bone ‘creating’ that horror show twirly room.

I can’t go back and watch that rubbish, but I thought it was daylight when Fanny had ‘finally’ got onto the plane? I FF so I could easily be wrong.

Welcome @howlingwolf68 it's nice to have you join us!

Is your friend still a Patreon? If so, why is she? It makes me angry that some Patreons think Stef is a poor (literally) wee thing that needs their support.
Random thoughts

1- Despite my disdain for most YouTube grifters and SJ in particular, I don’t believe her Patreons believe she’s “poor”. I don’t believe they donate out of sympathy. I believe they believe she transforms their lives with her anecdotes and her Joie de Vivre. It is my contention that when they log in, she makes them feel happy, like part of her gang and as long as she can do that they’ll keep on giving.

2- I’ve been thinking though that maybe her staying wedded to Channel Four is very short sighted. That’s not her core audience. I’d go as far to say that most Patreons are not Brits and don’t even see Chateau DIY. She’s making a big mistake by preferencing the TV series and keeping reveals and restoration progress away from Patreons.

3 - PhiPh. Its becoming more clear that she is BLIND to the fact it is his presence causing her lack of channel growth. It is clear she’s convinced herself:

a. PJ is an asset to her
b. He is an asset to the channel
c. Worryingly she might have Isabelle, Gerry convinced also
d. She takes guidance from him
e. She believes he has discernment
f. She is becoming increasingly reliant on him/ his advice
g. She normalises her age inappropriate relationship
h. She fails to see his persona, immaturity, lack of education, taste, life experience detract from her image in all respects.

You're not wrong...
I posted a link to the French Transavia flights previously in this thread. The only airports that have a direct flight to Santorini are: Paris, Lyon & Nantes.
Lalande is situated right inbetween all three airports, although it is a shorter distance to Paris and Lyon.
So, my theory is, they drove all night to Paris, either spent the night at the airport, or a fancy hotel and took the morning flight to Santorini.
Which would match up with the lighting of the vlog and the Instagram picture...

Edit: Further research... maybe they took a Sunday flight from Lyon at 5AM-ish... 🧐 🧐 🧐 All Paris flights leave at the earliest around 8AM.
That would leave them driving from Lalande around 11PM arriving at Lyon airport 2 or 3AM, then flying at 5AM...
From € 54 to Santorini (transavia.com)

Content Stephaniee!!!! Just putting out nonsense now. Not more shite at a brocante. Not more pretend cheery chats with Dan the Teeth and Amaury (who's now lost his looks). Not more "dinner is served" fake laughing with a weird bunch of ppl. Not more Nati trying to sound gentle and soft and is just so inauthentic I'm cringing for her. Not more f***ing hedgehog harassing. Not more holidays. This grift just may be on its last legs
“Dan the Teeth” looks like a character that should have been in “The Sopranos!” 😂

It’s too hot to sleep so I went back and watched the end of the vlog. It was still dark when they were on the plane but I don’t think they went from Limoge airport as last flights are way before that time. Goodness even Heathrow doesn’t fly that late at night.
This is how low the planes were a couple of days ago going into Heathrow while I was having lunch. You can see the names on the planes.

Sorry. I was voice replying in a rain storm.
It may happen but they…

… we will have our own lawyers with us.

also - we are going to be recording. A few of us will be. With very obvious cameras. She should be familiar with them as she flounces in front of them with CH4. She may even recognize a few of the people behind the cameras.

I girded up my loins to watch the latest CD offering - and I'm procrastinating avoiding mowing the lawns. I got as far as Table Setting Artiste announcing how he was saving the world by buying from Brocantes.................... it not only made me feel nauseous and unable to continue watching the vlog, I'm now off to mow the lawns!
