I see IJ was wearing what was probably a gifted necklace which has never before seen the light of day! I wonder how many other gifts were on display; a pity it wasn't cold weather, they could all have worn the horrific hand-knitted sweaters. I wonder if the patrons were looking around for the gifts they had sent. PJ can be seen in the bedroom mirror, wearing a white shirt. Those patrons look like fans visiting the set of a TV soap opera, having their photos taken with the cast. It's their 15 minutes of "fame"!

So they spent some money on hired tables and chairs, raided the attic for fabric to use as tablecloths. Chateau Lagorce, isn't that Ed and Anna's place.
The bakery got a good order crocquembouch for three different days.

Ed and Anna do own the chateau but not the winery.
I was thinking the same. The drapes don’t work well with the walls but I like the modern tub. I wonder if it’s the bathroom to the Marquis’ suite?

I expect the system they installed was undersized to start. Add to that cheap, low end components and a worn out system that is 17 years old. The radiators themselves were failing so you now have heating that needs almost total replacement.

Just Grift Wood

I think the grift will stop in a number of ways: 1) run its course people move on get bored CH4 cancel Chateau DIY 2) Fanny cuts and runs onto something else 3) huge media expose that actually proves she has mis spent the money and been dishonest in some way 4) the whole Chateauverse gets shown to be a major con and is exposed by the media

So if Stephanfraudie is actually using copyrighted music without paying royalties/usage fees then her YouTube channel is in violation of its terms of service and should be reported as such. At least the ones using recognizably covered music. That’s enough for a channel to be taken down.

We can only hope Dauphin Dubious shows up before dazed and confused days are over for some light Tattle emtertainment.

Princess and the Pea

Reasonable effort ? She gets £33k a month from these people!!! She's had ages to prepare& she comes up with something which resembles a family party. Not a prestige event at a chateau.
Couldn't even clear the old doors from the dining area. Hard old seats, un-ironed table cloths, usual farmhouse cheap food, stingy cheeseboard.
These people have been conned by the snake oil saleswoman who is still getting away with it.
Sorry but this event is cheap & shoddy. If those people are stupid enough to be happy with this level of event then they deserve to be scammed IMO.

On Repeat

Pekey- are the Graphtreon numbers in US$ dollars? If so $34318 per month is $51008Aust! For that amount of moolah you would think she could have served champagne, better food and moved stuff around in the entrance hall to accommodate her guests. Those tables could easily have been put inside- there weren't a lot of guests. I didn't think is was rustic at all, I thought it was rude. It was a summer party not a bbq in the garage- I am surprised she didn't serve Bunnings sausages in white bread and tomato sauce!
Edit- Princess we pressed go at the same time!

Lochness Monster

No co ordination of cloths or ironed…. Cheap looking cutlery. The plates from Daveys mother? Not the lovely Limoges ones. No cruets , Isabel the flowers far too tall and mean. And paper napkins - crime. Camping in the old pheasant NOOOO Jag shed. Where is the jag

I thought they had a party for thirty in the entrance hall. Easter? And managed with out FRK . The Dutch woman made those unappealing tarts

MPK's video was well done, the little space below the stairs for Tete was nice touch.

I'm glad that Tete is still with him. I was a bit worried what happened to Tete because Birdie seems to have ditched him for Mo.

I liked his vlog too although did skip through some of the staircase installation. He is an excellent videographer no matter what else he gets up to and I always enjoy his choice of music.
Am a little confused as to why he is cleaning up the entire cottage but there has been no mention of completing the bathroom/toilet as that will defo make one hell of a mess with plaster/grout dust/drilling and digging out channels for piping etc.
I agree, that little cubby hole for Tete was really cute and cosy. I think his other dog is called Bertie, happy to be corrected, of course!

From the pics I wasn’t too impressed. But, Fanny obviously knows her guests. They are thrilled just to be there and in her presence and that of the other cast of characters at the shitoo. Regardless of that, wouldn’t it have been nice to cater in some nice food for the damn thing? She has all those refrigerators available to keep things cold. I know someone who had a wedding in a machine shed and it was the most beautiful transformation when they finished. I see very little effort here at all. She’s counting on her “star power” to carry the day.

Exactly - they themselves have been harping on about this for ages but maybe you @Tea with lemon like myself were too bored to listen but I do remember that fun game of sprinting into the rooms with Dan, Amaury & SJ to catch the leaks from the radiators. The punch line from all this and Amaury's reasoning was "Cus, even if we got it all going, we couldn't afford the fuel"
