We're halfway through a thread. Can I suggest a poll that runs until the end of this thread to get a consensus of opinions.
How about a vote? That way everyone gets a chance to have their say.

Independent Threads for the chateaux. Vote :ROFLMAO:

Combined thread for all chateaux. :mad:

Tattlers should club together to buy some truly awful tat or try to find some dreadful garbage to send with a carefully composed fan letter and then we can watch the reaction and send something else later on telling the truth about what we sent and why we sent it! What is really sad is the fact that the people who send the tat must be completely unaware that what they are sending is tat. It somehow makes it worse when you realise they have no concept of that fact and absolutely no awareness of Stephanie's lifestyle and the value of the gifts she really desires. Either they are really simple folks with very little knowledge of the outside world or they are secretly private "Tattlers" like us who are playing a huge joke on SJ and falling about laughing watching her. Sadly, it seems as if they fall into the first category!
Dear Stephanie and Lalanders,
First of all, thank you for making the pandemic bearable for many of us!
Your vlogs are so amusing and inspiring!
You're living out your childhood dreams!
Here are a few gifts in appreciation for all that you guys do!

For Marie, this Louis Vuitton wallet. I know that she's leaving soon and she will enjoy receiving something more expensive than Longchamps.
For Nati, a pair of Jimmy Choos to wear on her nights out (if you let her) with friends (if she has any).
For Selmar, a Philippe Patek watch so he will always know when it's time to not give a f*ck when you're talking.
For Philip, I know how much he loves squirrels so here's a taxidermy squirrel from 1922--just be gentle with it. It used to have a lot more hair.
For you....I know how much you love to travel and blue and white (and yellow).
So when my fiancee and I saw this antique blue and white Starbucks tumbler with a yellow lid from a local brocante (yard sale),
we couldn't resist but buy it and send it to you! The former owner said the dark rings on the inside are stains from a very expensive type of tea from Target.
I hope you'll love it!

Love....
Marquis de Potpourri

Poverty porn is so disgusting. IS was guilty showing giving the buckets. This dude is just repugnant. The golden shower social-climbing dress has sunk even lower. Making scholarship applicants appear on Youtube is a new low. Ugh.
Couldn't agree more.
I don't mean to force religion into this thread, but in Judaism, Tzedakah (acts of righteousness/charity) must be done in private. I think Christians have something similar in their Bible: "when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing."

If you want to help someone in need, just do it. You don't have to vlog about it.
Perhaps introducing the scholar to the public is fine, but to highlight their poverty is really demeaning.

Just saw Dan and Annalise's 3:46-minute vlog from Paris! No intention to derail.
I just want to commend the man for having grown so much in his vlogging skills in just over the last few months! I used to think his vlogs were blah. But now his cinematography is superb, and the quality of his videos has become far more superior to anything Princess Stephanie produces now.
Dan has obviously spent time improving his craft, learning and trying out new ideas and angles, unlike our beloved (be-loathed) LOTL who's stuck with the same thing--even with the assistance of cameraman-boy.

Here's another way Tattle Life will save your vlog, Stephanie: LEARN FROM DAN, GET SOME TIPS, NOT JUST IN GARDENING.

but his Madrid antics come across as seedy, after him trading on an image of Beatrix Potter cottages and fluffy bunnies.
This is what I've found hilarious (which has apparently made some people very angry) and it is. Sad, but still hilarious. It's been pretty obvious from the beginning that with Stephanie as his beard he amassed a huge boomer following where only about 1% suspected he was even gay. Some of his earliest videos don't even take place where he's supposed to be Doing it Himselves. He and his entire family have been barely containing their contempt for the fans since day one, and still there are hundreds of them chiming in "good BOY" in his comments like thousands of mommys, mummys, grans and nans who think Steph and Michael would make an excellent couple. The Michael who was clear to me from the beginning (feel free to look back on my posts) was a partier really only comfortable on camera after a few cocktails and smoke breaks on the terrace.

Then he had to take his hangover back to Basmignee where he was ill-prepared to provide entertaining content for hundreds of thousands of brand new fans. In real time during a pandemic. Dude didn't even have a bank account to collect the money people were suddenly throwing at him. So he visited his grandma and showed off her dishes. Then he visited Beatrix Potter. Then he got a puppy. Then he got mad, and sad for the viewers. In the midst of all this, his whole damn family started their own youtube channels IN THE SAME HOUSE when there was barely enough content for one channel! Did his whole fucking family set the Christmas Star up for failure and he's rebelling with a fuck boi weekend? Maybe! Seems like there is a lot happening behind the scenes and this is not a family that appears to work well together, all stomping through the gravel alone following the best little doggies in the whole wide world. I stan Missy and Patton, but I probably would not be watching any of their channels if it wasn't for tattle. That's probably true for a lot of us. So they've got that going for them...

They should have collaborated on Doing it Ourselves as a family from the beginning. They have plenty of work and editing to divvy up between them so that Gwen doesn't have to make a mayonnaise salad for content.

Firstly it must be difficult for Micheal stuck in the middle of nowhere ( his sister in law’s chateau) to meet other gay men. He probably feels compelled to stay in the closet by his family ( judging by billy snide homophobic remarks) have total empathy for that situation, everybody deserves to find love and be happy.
Now he’s semi outted himself has he decided to press the self destruct button? I bet he feels stuck in the whole situation and will do anything to get out of this overwhelming power he has handed to his patreons and viewers, he is no longer in contol ....the Vlogs are........ he has created a monster that he can no longer control and his friends and family all are on that bandwagon too.

If this isn’t the case then he should be embarrassed begging for money and then going to Madrid and partying in a pandemic....... using patreon cash to act like Mr Big.
It’s no shame to be gay Micheal but it is shameful to be greedy, predatory and deceitful .

"PAARfect! AmAYzing! SooPAIRB! MaRRRIEEE, you look BeOOOtiful in your wrinkled satin nightie and woolly jumper as I creep up behind you with the camera... Now STUFF the flowers and SHIFT OFF out of the frame!"
Stunning. Look at the detail. Oh, hallmarked Sterling Silver. Suzette from Jackson Hole (snigger) you are SO talented. How could you crochet a tablecloth of Mummy's face!! It is beautiful. Oh, Stanley from Scunthorpe - wow a massive Starship Enterprise Lego set for Antoine - how lovely of you to stop eating for a week to pay for it. Thank you thank you. We will put it aside for him when he next visits on his 21st birthday. Marie, look someone has sent you some pot pourri for you to use in your floral arrangements, how kind. Such lovely colours and oh..(wafting it under Selma's nose) what a lovely scent..beautiful. It reminds me of the care home so much (bit of a sad face). Oh, Nati hand me the special parcel opening scissors what have we here (squeal)..oh my Fortnum & Mason pea & mint tea bags. They will be absolutely paaaaaaarfect to keep me going through the long hours of editing. Oh, Selmar this one is for you. Open it open it. Oh. It is a gold bar (dirty look at Nati)...is it real, ooooh how dahling of someone to have sent that to you. Are you sure there will be a place for it in your van (little moue mouth look)? We can look after it in the main house if you are worried it will be stolen you know. But anyway, think about it - now..what have we here a parcel for ....Philip...go on you open it. I need to have a little drinkie. Oh, what is it...oh how fabulous. A hat in the shape of a hedgehog - squeals with laughter, put it on..put it on..everyone laughs. Philip snorts. Marie chokes on a crisp. Selmar does the heimlich manoeuvre - SJ doesn't notice. Nati passes a massive box to SJ oh what is this I can barely see over the top of it..Ann Summers..I remember that name..Nati is she that lovely lady who sent us the cat paintings last year? Nati grabs box quickly & throws it over the back of the sofa. Selmar walks out looking dazed. Oh, I cannot thank you all enough for sending us these gifts it soooooo cheers us up and makes us feel sooooo jolly loved by all of you.

Dan doesn’t appear to be an expert at growing food. He strikes me as a mow & blow garden maintenance guy. Since they still haven’t figured out how they’ll water this summer, they really should mulch those beds.
I agree. To me, Dan doesn't come across as a "gardening" gardener, as in a plantsman (either vegetables/soft fruit) or creating a "cutting garden"/herbaceous borders (of which there are none...so far!) and I think he's learning a lot as he goes along. He's obviously very capable and seems to have bucketloads of commonsense, an attribute that doesn't march hand in hand with other characters in Le Cirque de Lalande.

He seems to have the measure of IJ and get on with her, which is no mean feat. And he is singularly unimpressed by SJ's affected posturing and theatrical gushing about the wonderfulness of everything. All in all, he's a bit of star!

Cringe moment on CATC
Marie: (out loud) it's very see-through! (thought to self: why me?)

Nati: That's just what you like!

Selmar (Laughs out loud) (thought to self: poor girl!)

Philip (to self: Ohhh....I'll ask her later if I can have it if she doesn't want it)

View attachment 451239
So Nati who opens up all the presents in advance & therefore knew about this would have run it by SSB as to whether the scanties should be given to Marie & they thought it would be hilarious to embarrass someone on camera by giving her something that they knew she would be embarrassed about receiving. My. what a piece of work those two are.

Disgusting the way that SA fashion institute put the filmed interviews on YT, giving out people's names and personal information about their situations and their families. It should be illegal. No professional employer or academic institute would do that with an interview. It would be OK to film them privately for the interviewer/selector in a lockdown but it is definitely not OK to put it on a public forum. The owner, together with SJ, IJ and PA, should know better. It just confirms what many of us already thought about that particular institution: they are unethical and unprofessional, and guess who is promoting them? All for the sake of the publicity, plus a ghastly yellow dress and more to follow!

I'd also like to point out that in a country like South Africa, a fashion scholarship is probably the most tone-deaf idea they could have come up with. And before I'm shot down, I do know the place very well, I lived there for 20+ years.

Sorry, who here is scandalized by Trotter’s escort? No one, as far as I can tell. There’s no shame in sex work. We are disgusted by Trotter lying.

People are free do what makes them happy as long as they aren’t hurting others. However Michael’s Patreons will for sure be somewhat hurt by how he has lied to them about needing funds to restore the Beatrix Potter cottage.

Of course, if his Patreon was for expensive holidays, a personal trainer, hiring escorts and lord knows what else, there’s no way those Patreons would donate and he’d have no money.
What I am scandalized about is his apparent lack of self awareness. Boo hooing on screen a few short weeks ago about having been used and abused for 'his' designs. Cue ordinary folk giving him their hard earned cash without looking at the facts behind what he said & weighing up the truth behind it. Then he uses their money to hire himself a personal trainer & a cameraman. No work being done on the cottage at this moment. Then he spends more of the money he has been given to go on a jolly to Madrid. In the middle of a pandemic. That's what I am scandalised about. Leading people up the garden path by pretending to be one thing & actually being another. Like LOTTL & Ms Gibbons.

If she really needs the money as she said, then hopefully she isn't shelling out more than 5 bucks to support him and get extra content. Technically he can spend the money any way he wants. His youtube also has a little over 200k subscribers, so there's money coming in there too. You and Becky have every right to be scandalized by his lascivious new friend, and I have every right to laugh about it.

I've looked on FB. There seem to be lots of photos of students holding their certificates & working on projects so I don't think in that respect it is a scam. They are registered with the Department of Education as a Private Higher Education Institution so it appears that they are legit in that respect. As to whether those certificates are worth the paper they are written on in respect of getting a job in what is a hard industry to crack in any corner of the globe is the problem I guess. Grifting seems to be rubbing off if they are trying to get more charity money though.
seems unusual to interview for a degree level design course without asking the candidates to submit some portfolio work
a scholarship is not about who has the hardest background or who can interview well
it's about who has the talent, ability and aptitude
then the scholarship kicks in

I really cannot say..i am Dutch..so i dont know if its a British custom..maybe its a bit of teasing us.. because people in here think Ryan is gay?? Or maybe the life at a chateau can be very boring....just like in the army.. :rolleyes: :p
I am still disgusted that Ryan stated that we made racist comments about his aunt when in fact it was clearly stated (by myself) that his aunt is lovely and the best thing in his vlogs and that she should start a cooking show.
Lying little :poop:

After all the reaction from the trotter tribe I can see why CH4 dropped them
I can see why D&A sacked them
they wouldn't know their crystal from glass if it hit them in the face
btw an artist creates
a scammer goes on YT with crying and lying
that's the real creativity inside the man-child
words are one thing
actions are another

Re: the interviews for the fashion scholarship, which YouTube viewers of "Chateau Unwrapped!" are funding, the ethics of which have been flagged and discussed on this thread, I wanted to express particular disgust at Percy's and Isabelle's comments about how Spero, the interviewer, has a "heartbreaking" task and "must be emotionally drained." Are these people for real? What about the young people applying who are compelled to perform for the world on YouTube, only to be rejected? You don't think they're going to be heartbroken and emotionally drained?
