Right, I've been brave enough to make a comment at long last. Found Tattle like so many others after watching the CD back last year while in lockdown here in France and enjoyed it to begin with and then began to realise it's a friggn mad house. So much of how that place is run gives me flashbacks of a Chateau I worked at a few years back, skanky kitchen, woodrot, jobs started and never finished and a 'chatelaine' totally out of touch with reality. Makes me shudder. So, Fanny's off to Tuscany and visiting Cortona. Have been there several times as my bestie lives about 30 min away. There are two overpriced antique/brocante shops that I know of, what's the betting more crap comes back. She'll have to sleep for a month as it's one hell of a long drive, having done it myself.

You're touching on something deep here, along the lines that Lalande does not exist, really, unless she performs it on video. The narc in my life is an art historian, for whom nothing except movies and TV are real. We don't even qualify as movies or TV to him, we're ghosts flapping our lips in silence. Same was true of Trump.
maybe this is it-why this makes us all so crazy mad-handed something with so much potential-she wastes-new people brought to her life-she doesn’t really give a sh*t-equipment breaks down-don’t repair, throw away-grow veggies and flowers-sure but not going to eat em

In his own vlog about the cooking, Dan mentioned not having had the time to film himself plating the food, so he had to ask SJ for pictures of how it turned out. We now know what really happened: SJ ruined his rough material by standing in front of his camera all the time, filming him herself while constantly talking down on him and his skills, not just as a chef but as a vlogger as well. Instead of handing in her shots (as she expects him to hand in the drone shots he makes of the HMN) she threw him some lousy photographs and used the filmed stuff to mock him. Deplorable.
If, as Clara suggests, SJ deliberately blocked Dan's shot of him plating his meal, I'd say true sabotage and harassment, in the context of @Patriciarella's 30 negative comments, has taken place. As I say, this has been against the law in France since 2002.
Me and my French law degree -- :cautious: -- see the gardener's tea room, with fuel, food, possible poison garden chemicals, and hot plate within feet of each other as serious health and safety violations. Not to mention no toilet or hand washing facility for employees regularly handling toxic material.

She literally stated that the fact that she's still alive means she is successful. Could that bar go any lower?
Birds do it. Bees do it. Even educated fleas do it.

I hope she had washed her hands before she spun that sugar; knowing her usual habits, you wouldn't catch me eating anything she had handled. That paint brush was incredible, good job they were not being inspected but it has now been recorded for ever. Bet Dan was angry when he found out about it and it shows how hygienic Marie was if she always used it!
omg I was wondering the same

British Humour. Not necessarily the best tactic to make your BnB guests enjoy their food! :ROFLMAO:
But surely NOT mention poisoning at least three times, or four, after every course?!!:mad:
yeah yeah taking the piss and all-but she’s the hostess of a dinner at her business-where people paid extra for this meal-please, no one is that stupid to think it’s funny (except her super stupider fans)-she’s clearly attempting to take Dan down several notches for her own ego

once again this dirty b*tch proves you can send the girl to finishing school but you can’t make her a lady

Yeah, cutting the flowers at 7:30 for dinner at 8 struck me as typically incompetent. Just authentic hospitality and pleasure, not to mention having a plan and being organized, suggests getting the tablecloth, flowers and settings down hours earlier. Even if just to have Dan's plates already chosen for him and set up.
Was this uncharacteristic tardiness on the place settings PJ harassing/sabotaging Dan? Should we be watching out in future for PJ's opportunities to sabotage Dan's presentation? I think Dan may possibly be auditioning for private chef work in the area, and I think he should get it if that's what he wants.

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' ....:sick:

Pardon me, I'm on a roll here.
Flashing is definitely sexual harassment/hostile workplace. Hair in foil and nightgown also, I suspect.

Girl? More likely to be some guy with a computer in a darkened room playing Selmar to extract his money.

I suspect the "meeting" with Tatiana in Holland will be delayed at the last minute because Tats hasn't got the money for the fare/her mother has been taken ill/she's had a gallbladder relapse and could darling Selmar send money now? I hope I'm wrong.
On the Patreon video, Selmar says he Facetimes with her every day. That's a phone call with simultaneous video. Hard to catfish.

I never normally watch Selmar's boring vlogs, but I like to see the garden of lalaland. Why oh why dont they have 4 times speed to watch , my god I had it on double speed, sound turned off, and it was still so slow... Now I know why he never finishes anything, he's so slow it takes him 3 hours to watch 60 minutes 🥴

Dana being the relief cook would certainly explain her sudden reappearance in SJ stratosphere.
It would be interesting to know if Cara is regretting her decision to volunteer for three weeks! I would not last three minutes.
Italy seriously! Like my mother would say “itchy ass syndrome”

His slowness could be explained by his accident. I suspect he had a severe head injury along with his neck injury. People are never quite the same. Might also explain his lifestyle and susceptibility to be potentially scammed.
Like you I kept hitting the ff button as I find it excruciating to watch.

Dan's vlog is up. A very different view of their mini break in Borrrrrr-duh! Surprise, surprise, Fanny sprung for a room for them at the Intercontinental. Hmmm - was this in lieu of paying Dan for his chef duties?
No cathedral guidebook tours, no secondhand shops, no showing off - just Dan and Annalise enjoying their first night away without the boys. I know who I would prefer to spend time with

Yes! For some reason I clicked on Sillymar's latest flog and it was soooo slow even on double speed. I think it was the most comprehensive garden tour of Chateau de la Landfill ever but why would he film the freakin' fountain for five full freakin' minutes!

Maybe so that we can admire the unimpressive, mismatched and not symmetrically placed flowerpots with unimpressive greenery? (sorry, Dan! :rolleyes: ):unsure:

€350 for 1 night including dinner in the hotel restaurant, the chef there is a devotee of Gordon Ramsey. I preferred the decor to anything at Chateau Moor...but I do have questionable taste 😅

Dana of the dodgy falafels? Poor guests.
What could possibly possess you to cook dinner for free for a bunch of scary Lalande Patreons?
Unless this is the old aristocratic uneducated London debutante dodge of working as a corporate chef to meet rich men? Dodgy felafels, let me be the first to clue you in, are not the way to a man's heart.

I finally watched the CD flog with Dan cooking. I don't watch any others (pathetics, Ryan 🤢, Marie yawn, cadoooooh nah) any more except for Dan's, partly because I think he's a bit of a hottie 😁 and partly because I love his music choices and general vlog style. Fun. But the cooking one just got my goat. First, our darling Stephanie stuffs her face with crisps and peanuts, making sure it's all filmed and says so several times, 'just in case'. WTF. I would have kicked her to the curb at that point. Then she's all over the prep in the most useless way, stuffing up his filming and generally being a pain in the ass, how he didn't lose his temper is beyond me. Then the oh-so-hilarious 'has anyone died yet' not just once but several times - so ungracious and so rude, simply not funny Fanny. That was a real eye opener. So thanks to Dan for cooking a great meal and not so much thanks to Stephanie for being so rude, belittling and downright bitchy.
Paaarfectly summarized, @chillijam ! ❤

I can tell you've never opened Grindr 😂 The gay dating scene is very different from the straight one. Which is why I also have pics of Danny without underwear.
Yeah, I'm not the biggest devotee of Grindr or even gay porn (many of the het female users of porn I know prefer gay male porn). But I'm super aware of how people pose for porn, especially when the photographer is yourself. It's a huge meta feminist discussion, I'd love to see a serious sort of Susan Sontag take on dick pics, men commodifying/weaponizing themselves.
