I really don't get the baghead issue - is he physically handicapped? or somehow stunted? If anyone knows, do tell..
No, he just doesn't want to be seen and recognised, presumably by colleagues and others; this is despite the fact that his wife who has a very high profile job and her son, are always in the vlogs and SJ has also posted lots of photos of him. She has also made him more conspicuous by constantly referring to him as "The elusive Nic" and he draws attention by the paperbags and chicken heads. SJ is not someone to associate with if you value privacy!

She has a very odd way of showing it if it is love; she is constantly mocking him and laughing at, rather than with, him. Seeing him in that dressing gown: how could any woman fancy that, however old or young they might be? She must be pretty desperate; maybe it's to try and prove that she isn't the age she (not far off 50), and that she can still attract a young man, but really, THAT young man? There must surely be others around who would be more suitable. Maybe he's suitable because he allows her to act as she does and doesn't criticise, apart from the odd snide remark about her getting more and more like her mother. Trouble is anyone more mature or with common sense would see right through her. BJJ is a lapdog and that's all he will ever be there. He needs to get out of there before she destroys him; otherwise, he will end up marrying her and eventually becoming her carer and is it worth it for a crumbling chateau filled with junk and a lot of embarrassing paintings by Daddy?
Yes. To each his peach, but there is nothing about that kid that is sexy. (Just think of the shots of him dancing the Charleston.) Except the granny tat and shopping porn. And, well, that has a limited clientele.

That page is a true representation of the soap opera that it really is with the star performer featured as central to the whole circus of which she is the
"ringmistress". It is designed to appeal to the kind of people that would choose to go to Paris to see Disneyworld, rather than to visit Versailles. Anyone with any real desire to experience French life and culture would not choose to visit such a place and SJ doesn't care what image her chateau represents as long as it brings in the money from a load of suckers and as long as she can party and perform to her heart's content. All the rest is fake: pretence of being interested in history and culture. That is nonsense or she wouldn't act as she does and destroy any interesting significance that the chateau might have once had. I feel sorry for the family who sold it to her in good faith, believing that she would genuinely preserve and restore it rather than making it into a tasteless cross between a pleasure palace and a brocante.
It's like Benidorm. English speakers wanting to spend their time with their own.Plus sj is like a celebrity to them.

@purejuice At the end of their latest vlog, Marie insisted to say that the (roasted) carrots are from their garden ;)

Wonder if she read your beautiful menus ... ?

This one is actually a brilliant idea in script writing.. U might remember the neighbor in "home improvement"
To not show a character gives the drama something misterious
Thanks for that, but I have no idea what the show is you refer to. Still, I guess it does add some element of...something. I just don't know what. except there is someone with a bag on the head. In the movie Django Unchained there were a bunch of characters with bags on their heads; it kinda has the same impact on me - laughing a lot.

Man, her website is a mess like the Shitoo itself. It's offensive to the eyes with her trademark oversaturated colours. It's also all about me me me... what other chateau website has four pictures of it's owner on the front page!

Grammar nazi here, her text is also littered with errors. She studied English in Oxford for crying out loud. And it's a business website. Who spells "honour" like "honer"?! Just read this page. There's more grammatical f*ck ups there than in a five-year-old's essay.
Like everything else she probably delegated the the text on the website to someone who’s first language is not English. She doesn’t always edit anymore so it would not be shocking if one of the foreign workaways for instance did it.

As you all know I’m convinced SJ is in love with Snorty and so do my eyes and ears tell me. But even if you don’t share this belief (be my guest), you must admit that the not addressing this issue is getting completely out of hand.

Agreed. With all their travels there's so many witnesses now. So many people keeping the secret. You'd think they'd want to get ahead of things in case something leaks.

It was very awkward in yesterday's vid when he was bidding on the art & she kept belittling him. Reminded me of her Patreon interview with Potts. She was constantly negging him.

You should be paid to proof read her site. It will be interesting to see if it is changed now that you have pointed out these errors.
I wonder if these are simple errors or if Lalande gang understands that it is better NOT to ask French customers 50 euros for their cuisine ... ?

Yes! I remember in my few months as a low tier patron feeling so uncomfortable watching the MP interview….it was as if she wanted to ridicule him…and answered questions for him…..😶

The food looks as mutilated as her floral arrangements….I am confused as to how she has convinced her followers that she has floristry or cooking talent.
