Hi, have fun here. Although, it can also be a madhouse here, but in a less insane sort of way. By the way, at some point someone will insult you by calling you (or the group) a bunch of geniuses . It is what it is... Glad the scales dropped from your eyes. Yes, you have perfectly laid out the basic view shared here about lalaland. Seems endemic to chateaux manned by Englishmen in France. Something about mad dogs floats just beyond my grasp.

Oh....urgh, poor Ian got flashed and a face full every time she raised her arms, here you can see the point he screams 'stop stop my eyes are bleeding' ....

I am not freudian psychologist, but this is the photo which says it all, this is little steffi with her daddy who is supposed to pick her up in her arms but he looks down her skirt and she knows it so she provokes him lolita style because he will buy nice things for her or build her a castle ... I feel weird writing it but well I am not one with the nighty on

My dear @sandro37, it feels weird just reading it. Deep and dark, but who knows? Something must account for the manic behaviour.

Dan said he preferred plain white plates to set off the food , he wasn't given any say about the table settings. Definitely seems like one-upmanship on PJs part.

as Steffi being 12 in her head, she does something similar with Dan *he is not a "daddy" he is boy from neighbor's barn), he is the forbiden fruit daddy told her about, he is older and has a girlfriend (read - wife with 2 kids), she would love to do things with him, she loves when he gives her attention, it means that he loves her more than his girlfriend, that she is special as she is special to daddy

And then her mother will pass and she’ll inherited more money and property that she’s never done a days work for. Unbelievable.

You have summarized the situation to a tee!

I think she extends herself to more men than just Dan. But, not all the men are adults like Dan, she also likes the toyboys, not fully men in maturity but maybe in age. Someone like Ian (the hired help) will also be a target, but Ian is no softie, just well bred and secure in himself.

to prepare it at home it was smart move on his part, he is a clever one, he knows how to get rid of her but keep on doing what he finds reasonable, he knows he cannot communicate with her directly so this is how it is done, he handles her well
if he would cook it there she would easily have said well great you know the way around kitchen so here you go you will be cooking I have someone else for the garden, but he showed her that for his TRAINED level of cooking he needs professionally equiped kitchen (even if he had non at home) and cooking at home and bringining it to lalaland would not be the way she wants her cook to work, she wants them frustrated without decent workspace to work on, with people standing in a way and equipement nowhere to find, malfunctioning oven included, she wants to bitch and order them around and show them who is the boss with passive aggressive smirk, and one better be on time because you know the guests are waiting her majesty

I totally agree and Yet....they talk of Selmar spending lots of "FaceTime" with Titti....what accounts for that?

You have opened a deeper level of assessment of SJ. We see her as you say seeking the father figure. And projecting that to other men in a sublimnal and even overt way. Yes, I won't argue with that. But she will be faced with serious disappointment as some of these men are real men and don't tolerate that treatment. Also, it's interesting you focus on Dan as wife Annelise (the girlfriend competition figure) is a looker with a good history in acting and tv on her cv, no failures to perform. Which cannot be said about SJ.

Just watched Dan’s new Vlog… Great as ever… But the comments were crazy. Everyone was praising Stephanie… Don’t they realize that she did this to make up for all of her horrible comments in the video where he’s cooking? That’s my take on it. And she’s probably trying to buy him being the chef again at the chateau again. Good thing he knows how to deal with children.

Did you see the state the kitchen of this BnB is in ?
The marks on the cupboard and the floor !

@sandro37 Dan is certainly clever and adept at handling different types of personalities. I am sure his experience of navigating (the military) commercial kitchens has served him well. If I am correct in remembering that he was a chef at an officers mess where he cooked for the Queen, is one where the bar is very high. A demanding environment where the expectations are high. Only the best will do.
I would like to note when Stephie mentioned that his culinary offerings were a throwback to was it the 90’s? was bitchy and attempt to elevate her culinary knowledge as superior to his! Back slap bitch that she is!

Going off topic right now but...what ever happened with that novelist who was going touvi write a La Lande murder mystery? It was so long ago that I don't even remember what episode it was mentioned in....
Wasn't he called Ivo Fornesa? He lives nearby and was visited by SJ and IJ..
