Sorry, I might not mean Mike. I mean the posh fella from the Castle.

I'm playing catch up from yesterday.
We didn't see him greet or engage with them - which doesn't mean he didn't, but what we did see was a somewhat malign looking presence which would have put a downer on the proceedings for me. Of course regular guests may well be unaware who he is, but Karen was heard to say he was doing what he usually does, which is have his breakfast and read his paper in the restaurant. I think that's unprofessional. Quote:
I don't like to defend Mike, but in other weeks contestants have complained when the host doesn't appear at all at breakfast
![]() I think the producers must try their damnest to twist arms over breakfast cooking in the Hotel type places where the contestants obviously have professional staff to cook. I'm surprised "non servile" Karen was persuaded to don her pinny at all. But in the end it gave a poor impression of their breakfast service which is very misleading as she clearly would never be in the kitchen. Quote:
For someone with an astonishingly high opinion of his own intellect, Mike showed himself to be extremely dim by being so thoroughly unpleasant. All very well to rant at anyone on Trip Advisor who dared to criticise their place, to call them 'psychotic liars' and insult their appearance, but to be this nasty and personal on TV is a different matter altogether. Now the viewers have seen for themselves the extent of their nastiness, and laughed at Karen's posh accent slipping regularly. They've come out of this so badly, and the couples who sucked up to them seemed so feeble. It's ironic that quiet Jenny and Clive who were the target of their most vicious comments emerged ahead of them in every way.

So far as I saw he sat there silently looking at them over the top of his newspaper, he barely acknowledged them and he sat in a certain spot in the room where he was facing the guests and could see everyone

I think it's easy for people like us, who frequent internet message boards, to forget that they're totally outside of others' experience and that not everyone who runs a business has the nouse to do adequate research.
It also never fails to amaze me how people who use a website as a business tool neglect to monitor and update it. Poor punctuation, grammar, broken links and bad quality images are everywhere and given a very bad impression. Likewise, thinking about the impression you might make on a programme such as 4iaB. Not everyone's seen it or realizes how it usually pans out and there are a high number of new businesses featured because of how people are scouted or invited to appear. It shouldn't be rocket science to work out though, should it. I'd think the plaque is worthless. It'd be nice to think your fellow hosts feel you give a good experience and good value for money, but overall showing the world you're decent people who offer a great product is a much better outcome than any short term victory over complete strangers. "We're so superior to everyone in every way" is never going to cut it and the massive irony is that people who actually do come from quality would never be so crass as to declare so. Quite obviously it should speak for itself ![]() Quote:
Hmm, I doubt Tash would have done that with a bona fide guest. Pauline wanted to argue the trivial point of Tash not bringing the sausage with the rest of the breakfast, but she got the sausage and she got it as soon as it was mentioned and she got it efficiently. She should have shut up after that and started eating, not continued to bemoan the point that Tash had forgotten it first time round. I think I'd have brought such a pointless complaint to a close by saying 'there you go, hope you enjoy, bye now!' myself.
Tash sorted the sausage, Pauline should have got on with eating it. Note how Clive handled the raw sausage issue with Claire - he sorted the problem, she thanked him and started eating. No stringing out a whinge by Claire as Pauline tried to do with Tash. So what if it was on a plate on its own...at least tash didnt toss it to her from the kitchen door. Quote:
I thought she wore it because it wasn't too hot but hid or disguised her tattoos quite well?
She did cling on to that one little handbag for dear life though. That was odd. Even when being interviewed in a piece to camera. It reminded me of someone who only has one decent piece and needs to thrust it in people's faces all the time to try and make a point. We seem to be making more and more style remarks on here. Last week the knitted cardigans, this week Natasha's nails, Mike's hair and glasses and now Karen's appearance too. Our minds are obviously wandering ![]() Quote:
As far as I can see I'm the only one here who is critical of Pauline in that situation. Maybe that's because I have zero tolerance for people who want to get as much mileage as possible out of such a small error. I just saw Pauline wanting Tash to stand there while she berated her when Tash had already dealt with the problem. I may not have swept out like Tash did, but I would have brought the silly situation to a close just as quickly and yes, more diplomatically
![]() If I'd been Pauline I'd have been more interested in starting on the food than complaining about it. Continued here: Four in a Bed :: New Series (Part 4) |
