I thought as much. No wonder SJ wanted to surround herself with people who take the pressure off of her and take it on themselves. We can diagnose narcissism all day long, but Isabelle is the stuff reddit threads about narc parents are based on. I thought it was interesting that one giant was the caretaker of the greenhouse and that ended up being the first thing restored for channel 4. Did Isabelle really involve herself in the garden then or is it all for show and free seeds? Also casts a whole new light on Isabelle simpering, "you ask too much of people," when it's her doing it. Some projection there.
Did anyway see the link Escape to Rural France posted when Annalise was an actress? I haven't watched it yet but plan to. I like Annalise a lot despite her overuse of the word literally and I wish Dan would be nicer to her when she's filming - it's painful to watch at times when she's trying so hard to engage with him and he is a bit grumpy. I still maintain he's the hardest worker of all the chateau people and spin off vloggers - apart from maybe Fiona with the leather trousers whose DIY ability and work ethic are incredible.
Clara, this goes some way to explaining what has puzzled me since I starting watching the vlogs. I couldn’t understand how she (in one blog) stated she lived there alone for quite a while and yet the rooms were decorated, furnished, cleaned etc., and the B&B started. What was my puzzlement? It was because, apart from her few bits of machine sewing and the ‘painting’ gold edges on a door in her room (whist in pjs) I never actually seen her do anything constructive wise. She may start something - like painting mummy’s apartment - but then someone else finishes it off - Gerry!
As for the other person who called people ‘luddites’ watching for ‘free’ well these luddites do pay via YT. But I’ve now decided that I will unsubscribe (if I watch anything else) so as not to add to the ever increasing mountain of cheese, gin and wine at CDLL.
Happy New Year everyone x
I think the kitchen is great!
I'll still be watching the Chateau Diaries (but not cadeaux obvs) and not just because it's very entertaining but also because I need to watch there in order to be able to keep up on here! I'm very grateful to @ChocLili and everyone else who trawls the facebook pages on our behalf as it's virtually a full time job being a member of tattle these days! If anyone was writing a thesis on the dark side of becoming a public figure via vlogging/social media they would have a field day here. It's not surprising Ruth has refused to be in the videos and was hiding from the camera whilst Michael Potts said his goodbyes on the last vlog - she didn't even do her usual wave from the car.
I agree with you on both counts. Authentic
When we talk about Dangerous Liaisons style moral transgressions I think of Stephanie tricking people into having sex or something like that.
But she was immoral in the way she used people’s kindness so she could shirk responsibility. That doesn’t surprise me, she even admits in CD that she doesn’t like to clean. Cat called her out on her total lack of participation in the cleaning of the Chateau.
We’ve discussed in previous threads how work shy she is. It appears she’s never had a proper job outside doing work for family members. She probably has never written her CV. Or gone to a job interview.
I'm going to go track that down right now. She's a sweetheart. I think he recognizes it, but he could be nicer on camera. He manages to whip up a sense of humor for the chateau, and Annalise is wrangling their whole show with two toddlers to film him doing the "important" stuff we'd never see if she wasn't filming.
I have an ad blocker, so if I'm inadvertently contributing to any of these channels, at least it's ad free.
I wonder if SJ got dropped by Workaway, because of her having at least one affair with a volunteer, and that is also the basis of the Dutchmen's moral questioning?
SJ always said she likes to wear her winter whites. This is valid also for lingerie
Nordic Weirdo
SJ clearly likes to go ‘off piste’ now and again with her choice of men. Mason being the No. 1 exampleSuperb analogy of the painting and the curator
She surely encourages it with others for the sake of dramatic things to gossip about afterwards.
Thank you for that reminder. Indeed he is but truth be known, he’s merely a bit of an Odd Job Man. Irregardless of his self-employment status, she should be aware of his skills - or lack of.Just saying
Selmar is self employed - he invoicesLOTL for any or all works done
It’s selmar who needs to make sure he has insurance - as he’s self employed
it doesn’t take too much common sense to see that taking up that floor, Installing a damp course, laying the floor elsewhere, requires not only a fair bit of brawn but also some specialised knowledge which I doubt Selmar has.
His weakness is not only physical but also for Stephanie. Whether I am employing someone in my home or on a building contract at work, I am always aware of not just the safety aspect but the human aspect too. SJ has shown no regard for his welfare. And with respect, that has nothing to do with with his employment status or if he has insurance.

She did make sure he had all the safety kit needed it was shown on the vlog.
My mother in law always asks what I want for Xmas or bday and then goes and gets me something slightly different. In this case she would give me an Easter plate for example and say: oh xmas or easter who cares, don't be ungrateful. I imagine hundreds of cheap ikea Xmas plates arriving with comments like: I couldn't get the real thing but this one is lovely, too.
If looks could kill, diesel would be dead after the glare that Isabelle gave him in the grand salon. I saw it too and it sent shivers to my soul
I said a while ago...imagine Stephanie was a 45 year old good looking man who flirted with and slept with female Workaways in their early 20s. And maybe had dressup days and commented on how the Workaways looked, cooked, etc. And then filmed it all. And made money from it.
