The Chateau Diaries #246 Stephanie's Patreons are like mushrooms - kept in the dark and fed shyte.

[Freesia54]

why were those people blurred out? I don't think I have ever seen her do that in a vlog. And where are people coming from that they bring their dog, not the first time. Do people fly around with their dogs? or are these local people? IJ didn't have her reading glasses ( she spent the whole day in the laundry) do Percy read the poem. Did you notice all the cuts when he was reading it?

I have more difficulty understanding him than others do understanding Nick the tree surgeon... I don't have a problem with him... personally I thought the poem was cringe, I understood the sentiment behind it but I'm not sure Isabelle was that impressed either, she'd have rather been doing the laundry. I thought all of the laundry was sent to contractors, that must just be the bedding, so Isabelle was washing everyone else's smalls?

Comparing Pheelip to a rocker sounds like a cope on their part. At least they recognize how bad the optics are around him. No one is the least bit gaslit by that nonsense.

C’mon Meg! syPhilis has huuuuuge fan appeal! Just look at his groupies…Carowhine Goober, Bacon Butty, Clearly CraCra and Dauphin Dubious! Although, with Dubious it could just be a liking for kebobs in common.

Welp, I never thought I'd find anyone more annoying in Stephanie's recent vlogs than Philip Janssen. I found Scotman/brother man/Gerry to be on a roll in the Annoy Department. And I felt no creepier vibe than watching people dance while being filmed, around a dining table, with all the chateau guests watching and Maria pounding away on the piano...... didn't top the creepiness of Percy reading that poem to his bride of four years, though!

Speaking of Maria, ugh oh...she was PISSED! I don't know why Pavlina was holding that tart and watching the old timers dance. But it was an accident and she clearly didn't mean for it to happen.....Maria needs to calm the f*ck down.

And no, Amaury, he does NOT look like Slash. Philip may have curly hair and can wear sunglasses, but that does not make you look like Slash! Slash wouldn't dress like that! Slash is cool. Slash doesn't have liver lips. Slash doesn't have ghost white stick legs that he shoves into skin tight jegging shorts! Slash doesn't look like he spends his time indoors all the time setting the table for dinner. Slash owns who he is.

And finally, Slash doesn't have little lady hands, either!

I thought the cake drop was the highlight of the evening, just a pity it missed Isabelle..can you imagine the wrath that would have unfolded. The birthday guest was either giddy on alcohol or giddy on the attention.... it was like watching a scary movie, hands in front of my face peeping through open fingers. Gerry needs to reign it in, he is about as funny as constipation...poor old Percy and his wife of 4 years (is it really only 4 years?) seems like a life time, dragged up to dance, I think dance is rather an optimistic word, he just shifted like a zombie. He really makes me feel very uncomfortable.

My thoughts on tonight’s CD video; I don’t know about everyone else here, but I laughed out loud for hours as tears of joy streamed down my cheeks as I repeatedly watched the video ( and ran all the ads in their entirety) and rejoiced in the lovely LieLanders celebrating, awkwardly dancing, and throwing a tart at Mummy’s back, as MarIA was plotting the demise of Pavlina for the tart debacle, Marie was quietly sulking in the background, and Nutty was trying to minimize Amaury’s family hugging MarIA before acknowledging her presence. Good times at the Dump!

The different sites say three kisses in Netherlands is relatively new , from 1980’s.
Phi phi is just so awkward around girls and kissing. With all the snogging shots of Amoury and Natty why none of squirrel and Fanny. .? Maybe they know how revolted many would be.

Fanny is just as awkward. There have been a few staged video shots of F4F and phi phi kissing, e.g., at Christmas or New Years Eve and a couple other occasions. The sexual heat between them couldn’t melt an ice cube on a 90 degree day. Fanny has awkwardly flung her arms around his neck and vice gripped him into a reluctant kiss. I think her actual sexual prowess is on par with her Elaine Benes dancing skills. Snorts usually gives Fanny a mom kiss on the forehead or reluctantly participates in a rare highly exaggerated kiss like a Duggar gives their spouse on their wedding day In front of the fundie crowds and cameras.

Refresher on how Fanny thinks she is an awesome dancer, decorator, host, travel presenter, renovator, restoration specialist, etc. ( in her own mind) and the reality. In the context of Phi Phi and Fanny, apply this “legend in her own mind“ rationale to the staged faux mommy/ phi phi romance dynamic. Fanny thinks they appear as a madly in love couple and that no one can see the reality of their community theatre level staged romance with the forced “ Darling“ and awkward body language.

Fanny is like Elene Benes……she thinks she dances and does everything fabulously but is unaware that the people around her perceive her skills/ talents differently and likely react the same as those who witness Elaine Benes dancing? Enjoy the 3 minute refresher below! Watch in its entirely to enjoy the full context.

Oh god.. sorry for being gooder; for his oak staircase 🫣

12 points for mpk for using what he was gifted.
---

My bet is Anna! She and MPK seems to get along and she isn't toxic.

I fear that when he get's his licence and his YT takes of again SJ will come back into picture to love bomb him, to increase her dying views.

Yes, I thought that instantly too as Anna got a really positive shout out yesterday in connection with the flower arranging. His and Florian's Mothers Day bouquets were better than what both Marie and Pavlina have ever offered up! Well, that isn't difficult BUT, they were gorgeous.

BUT, in order to stop all speculation surrounding his friendship with SJ, maybe the HMN might be his first port of call OR, there again, maybe not! Perhaps he will do a road trip to all his chateauverse friends? Florian could be his co-driver in case he needs a break. MKP's got 2 years to take a driving test before his theory test expires.

Did anybody else think that MKP was also referencing "Behind the Chateau Doors" YT channel when he was playing with the newly installed garden LL gate? Not 100% certain.

Someone sent her a unique long pic she could have had framed... instead he hacked it into a 5x7 Useless twit!

What was kindly sent... vs the bastardized version by Snorts...

Philip, rather than destroy Stephanie's photo, why don't you purchase or create an appropriately sized picture mat to complement the photo and surround them in a suitable frame. Please don't cut or fold that photo. Merci beaucoup.

Why do people send you gifts?

These people get their knickers in a knot over the picture and the picture frame?
But not about the lack of renovations or the money Stephanie's stolen from her Patrons under false pretense?

 

[Kalessi]

Little squirrel has dressed ready for a play date,
What is he up to ?
Why was HE not dancing with Pavlov or whatever the pink dress dancing lady was called, seeing as he is the in house prancing twerp.

I just might have watched it if squirrely bits was doing the Charleston.

 

[Imperious Me]

She gave them oak in exchange for two crap paintings hanging in a bedroom somewhere

I bet she's never hung them...
---

So… what happened to the heating installation?

As well, the pergola? gazebo?

That damn peacock gets more air time than any work Patrons were financing or thought they were financing.

Isn’t it odd there is never any real talk about the Gay Twank’s shop? Are they afraid to show anything that hints to additional income?

They're afraid people will recognize what they've sent is in the shop!

 

[Kalessi]

so repulsive… just when you think he can’t get any worse…
anyway…. How about all those people? Where are do they stay ? aunt , uncle ,guests?

If they are smart, they are not staying at the shitoo. Here are a few reasons:

• Trachoma, a potentially blinding eye disease caused by bacteria, but flies are a strong environmental factor in its transmission;
• Scabies, a persistent irritating rash caused by tiny crawling mites that burrow into the skin;
• Podoconiosis, a form of elephantiasis (swollen limbs with thickened skin) that is not caused by an infection at all – but by irritating particles of red clay soil causing a damaging reaction in the skin.

A common feature of these diseases is the lack of clean water for washing, and lack of education about their causes and how to prevent them. As you will see, washing the body and clothes regularly and disposing of rubbish safely is the key to prevention and control.

All this sounds vaguely like familiar complaints we’ve heard at Fanny’s house.

How does Philip not know how to dance? I would think knowing how to dance would be an asset. As a performer.

Percy reminds me of Boris Karloff the undead zombie

[Granola Chic]

Over $30,000 a month in renovation money, and this is what is shown week after week...It's absolutely criminal.

No, no and thrice no!
Anyone who pays those prices must be mad!
There's a little restaurant in the Charente, that does amazing food for less than €30, wine extra. Choice of menu, and it's proper food, not beige crap...

How the f**k can a cheese platter for one person be £45??? Isn't it the norm in France to have a cheese course, rather than a platter?
I wonder whether they also limit the amount of alcohol one gets to drink during the meal? Wouldn't be surprised!

I have no idea! a cheese platter is usually shared by a minimum of 2 people for about 30 euro's (last time I visited NL I paid 30 for 2 in Rotterdam, heart of the city centre)

This was a meat/cheese platter in a bar in Chinon. It cost €16, and was plenty for 2, and as you can see, already partly eaten. Beer/wine extra, and not from a box!
