It wasn’t that long ago that fraudy Fanny said that part of their day was the morning meeting with everyone for exactly that reason. Yet another lie blown clear out of the water.
The Chateau Diaries #269 At last Stephanie spoke the truth and admitted it herself to be an imposter.

I’ve become convinced that the farmhouse is nothing more than a vehicle to promote Fanny’s grift. She does just enough “work” on it to keep her viewers hanging on, but spends the bulk of the money on other things. She loves the attention from the adoring fans. I’m really surprised she continues to maintain her popularity, especially after some of the bombshell reveals. Fanny is one of those people who can fall into tit and come out smelling like a rose.
Perfect. Love always wins.

Even if they had a meeting, they would still just all go their own way because none of them know how to work as a team because they never learned or practiced that skill. They know nothing of collaboration. One of them, and it should be Fanny, but she's too unreliable, inexperienced managing others and undisciplined, should be the team leader deciding on the menu, and the color scheme for the guests dinners. Phi is too inexperienced and knows nothing, same with MariE and MariA. I would actually love that kind of job. I can be a bit bossy, but can take constructive criticism and am willing to apologize when I step over the line. Management doesn't come naturally. I was fortunate enough to have an employer pay for me to take classes in management when I was promoted, and told her I didn't know how to do that. Very informative and helpful. Play up each person's strength while downplaying their weak spots. Works wonders! Even Phi must have some strengths somewhere.

Has F4F pissed off every expat trady. The french guy taking measurements with Phiphi.... I hope Phiphis clothes did not accidentally fall off and he would fall awkwardly on top of the cute French builder...
Thank you @ComtesseRose for the new thread. You are indeed, a champion! 
True confessions of a past Fanny fan. I started watching CD before COVID. I was completely in love with the idea of restoring the chateau. I loved the energy and fun that the people living and volunteering there were having. I really wanted to go and be a volunteer myself, but I was working and my finances weren't in the best shape at the time to do something like that. When Fanny announced she was going to hire a manager for the BnB I fantasized about doing that job. Of course, it was out of the question as I am married and live nowhere close to the chateau. I thought it would be a fun job working alongside Fanny and making sure the chateau was welcoming for the guests. I had visions of helping Fanny host the dinners, providing information for interesting outings and activities nearby and being a type of concierge. WTF was I thinking? Now, of course, the curtain has been drawn back and we see the real Fanny. It would be dreadful to work for her. I am a task oriented person and take pride in my work. I would have been so frustrated by the sloppiness and unprofessionalism that reigns there today. I'm still shocked that people pay big bucks to stay there. All I can say is their standards must be pretty low. Thankfully, I came to my senses before moving forward with any of my delusions.
I saw those gross green water jugs in Ikea yesterday- top notch touches. He is a loser.

Snorts definitely on that list. He plays fast and loose with other people’s $

Snorts is a really bad look for her though. His stupidity, his style, that ridiculous ‘wig’ he is sporting, his mincing ways. Her bid at doing high quality travel productions a la Joanna Lumley or Michael Palin wouldn’t fly. Her ambiguous travels with her married friend and her smarmy side piece butler with weird hair, don’t make the cut, I’m afraid.I’ve become convinced that the farmhouse is nothing more than a vehicle to promote Fanny’s grift.

Channel 4 should be distancing itself from further filming and airing daredevil Dan working on the burned out chateau. May set themselves up for a lawsuit from followers watching their channel who try to be like Daredevil Dan. Your thoughts?
I think all of us were sucked in by the fantasy/excitement of restoring a chateau (or am I wrong?) - it's only after things didn't add up that each of us started to question the whole thing. I firstly was not happy with all the progress being reserved for the TV show - seemed wrong for the fans, but especially those giving money for the restoration (not me I hasten to add). Then the overall lack of progress full stop, but the money was available for trips overseas and then the revealing of the London flat and house in England and South Africa and France.
I agree. Zuckerberg is now on the hot seat for allowing pro-hamas videos to be played on FB. There are laws about promoting or airing dangerous and illegal content.
I feel like Fanny and Armore are the creations of their parents handling everything for them. I don’t think they have any idea how to manage on their own in a healthy, normal way. They rely on parents or partners (such as they are), to guide them, pay for things (shitoo or tools) etc. When you stand back and look at these two cousins they both seem to be crippled as far as being “grownups”. I could feel sorry for them except for the lying, cheating and grifting they’ve done. Yes, he’s complicit too. He might not have realized it at first but, now he knows. Everyone there knows.
I still watch old CD before Snorts, I like the fun they had and especially when MP was around. Fanny is a shadow of her former before big money self.
Along those lines…read this on Maria Shriver’s IG today.Perfect. Love always wins.

Who knows in years to come maybe the Jarvis family will be as famous as the Borgia and Medici families. They all appear to have common characteristics.
I can't believe they expected Emmaus to take those filthy old mattresses. No charity will ever take them or old duvets and pillows as they could be full of bacteria.
Maria is making a very strange lasagne for Philip in a brown sauce! Fanny is still talking about "sandwitches"; I can't believe that she grew up in the UK! Tante and Stephen have sold their house in England and are definitely moving to France. I wonder what they have bought and how far it is from the chateau.

Off topic for CD, but on topic for love. As many of you know, my husband has dementia and I'm his sole caregiver. I reached out to the Veteran's Administration social worker for help because I was pretty stressed out and becoming depressed. She recommended an adult day care center not too far from where we live. It is an intergenerational center with half day care for infants and preschoolers and the half for seniors, most with dementia. The seniors and little ones get together twice a day for fun time and socializing. We tried it out this week and it was a great success for my husband! When we arrived they had bunnies and baby miniature goats! So effing adorable! He stayed three hours while I got a break. He had a lot of fun dancing and socializing. He was able to tell me pretty much everything he did and later asked when we were going back - yeah! I will have him go twice a week. I also found out he is eligible for transport to and from the center door-to-door for the price of a bus ticket, giving me even more time for myself. You just can't believe what a relief this is for both of us. I feel the anger, stress and resentment of having to care for him 24/7 just melt away. I hope more centers like this open up. It's good for the seniors and the little ones too. Something positive!
That is exactly my dream if I win Lotto: An aged care facility, next to a kindergarten next to a rescue animal farm and they would all interact.
Aside from Fanny's uncle mentioning bed bugs, my favorite line from today was when Fanny mocked Amaury's dirty clothing and he replied this is what real work looks like ! Three cheers for him finally speaking up on camera, more please!
PJ was meant to be talking to him weeks ago about the room and the measurements. It was immediately after Fanny, Amaury, and PJ first talked about that room Fanny is just using bits of stuff she filmed weeks ago.
