Agree. I like her guts, - and talking of guts, I love the way she shows off in her cropped tops giving a sweet f. a about not being very thin. This girl rocks her confidence, and must lead her life the way she likes. The right girl or guy will probably turn up at some point, if that is what she wants. She is fab, fancy just wanting to sing a Russian song like that,- she likes a challenge.
I so agree with everything you said here and applaud you for explaining so thoroughly. I'm sure it will convince some again to finally see the light. I do want to add that we're not wasting our time and breath (besides having a laugh every now and then) when we are not convincing the majority of her fans, because there's another purpose in chatting about her schemes, because by doing so we are making sure she knows it doesn't take much for us to call her out and she can't trust on just her own instincts to safe her but has to keep playing her A game if she wants the money to keep coming her way. She's already had several big scares of being exposed for the fraud she is and although it is not my personal goal to make her life miserable, it's mostly the bed she has made for herself that she has to sleep in. I would say it's a weird balance of not taking it too seriously and being able to keep laughing, but at the same time keep pointing out that stealing from old ladies retirement funds is about as low as one can go, especially if you consider the scale. It's by no means pocket money we are talking about.
Exactly! Isn't that appalling and shameless, looting his grandmothers treasures to see if he can embezzle something. It's like on camera shoplifting with the owners present! He only recently stated he doesn't want anything personal in his vlogs, so it makes perfect sense to go film his grandparents personal stuff? He is using the same playbook SJ is, showing other people's lives while hiding their own. Their insane sense of entitlement is dripping from each and every frame of each and every vlog they put out, yet they won't recognize how boring it is to watch a Trotter family grift.
As usual you are giving them way to much credit for have a brain when it comes to timeline and hiding information. They don't think about that at all, because they don't think they have to, in their opinion they are entitled to everything life throws at them, have no responsibilities towards anyone else and no need whatsoever to hide their tracks. She didn't have to reveal she was chatting from Brussels and could have easily pretended to be at the HMN. The way her vlogs are structured now she has ample opportunity to go wherever she wants to go without a problem for her timeline, which is screwed as it is and people are used to it. She's using the same playbook as MPK, but with better preparations and safety nets in place.
My thought too. He's a young, not very "street wise", man with no real qualifications who has been over protected by parents and grand-parents. And who is now being manipulated by an older woman (that's not what is shocking in their situation) who have been manipulating people all her life to get what she wants.
When she saw Antoine, Marie said (in french) : "Ah, you are here. I didn't know where you were". And then, she asked Antoine (in french) : "Ca va ? Tu ne t'ennuies pas ?" = "Are you OK ? You are not bored ?"
The thing is Stephanie sees herself as an empathetic and good person. She gives 'love' back and does charity work, the motivation behind these actions are just different from normal people. She does it to assert control and secure a source of adoration (love for Phyllis) and personal thank you's and admiration to feed her narcissism (GAG). She's completely unaware of her real motivations behind her doings, that's the narcissism, she's not manipulating people consciously (that would make her a psychopath, she's not), the reason why she seems genuine to some that aren't as perceptive as us.
Billy and Sean were painting that green bedroom weeks ago and still not finished. Michael would like to help but he needs his “special artist brush” to cut-in around the moulding. I’ve painted 100+ year old houses and didn’t need any kind of special artist brush to do the work…and, yes, my lines were straight and neat! Just more excuses from MPK.
Many of these people who bought crumbling chateaux make a huge thing out of the word chatelaine, and their soirees are almost always a version of a Downton Abbey event. Even Lalande's Friday dinner with B&B guests SJ makes it out to sound like some sort of aristocratic house party! I roll my eyes whenever she says, "It's time get dressed for tonight's dinner." OK there, Lady Mary!
I appreciate your confession, and your restraint and that you didn't send the things!
I have more than a feeling, I know for a fact she has also planned a meeting with Potty, who will probably join them (off camera) in Brussels. It might be about the books indeed, as she has clearly underestimated the whole accounting thing. As usual she thought hiring an accountant was all that was expected of her as she is clueless when it comes to any form of structural administrative work (or any other work, for that matter). She's getting worried things might not go as smoothly as planned and needs her "partners in crime" to be onboard with her. Definitely a last minute trip to Brussels, when she waved Snorty goodbye on that parking lot she had no plans to follow him up north...

To add: We can see through her forced tears and emotionless smiles. She's not showing true emotions, it's just a bag of tricks she's learned to get the response she needs. It's a facsimile, not the real thing.
