Hmmm - its all very well saying 'get better, local produce' but then she'd have to put up her prices and maybe the local market wouldn't wear it?
Mind you, I did think frozen sausages deep fried then microwaved did rather pander to the usual prejudices about Scottish cuisine!
She should have given Melinda a fried mars bar when she asked if she had any local specialities.

Yes I'm liking Connie too (at the moment). He certainly seems to have Melinda's measure, loved his complimenting the packet orange juice after Melinda had totally wrinkled up her nose, seemingly 'challenged' to have to be in the same room as such a terrible product
So far, I like Connie. The others also seem to have Melinda's measure except that they are going to 'give her the best room' and pander to her!

I just have to say this because it annoyed me so much . Did anybody else notice how appallingly Madame M chewed her food? There's no denying it: it's right there on TV while her guy Stewart asks about the colour purple. It just does not go with all the airs and graces.

Connie has been a sweetheart so far.

I don't think my diabetes could cope with a deep fried mars bar, but I do like deep fried haggis - my goto item at the chippy when 'north of the border'
I quite like deep fried black pudding too, but I do draw the line at deep fried pizza though - it just looks so, so wrong!

...Her gaff had better be all bells and whistles with a cherry on top or she's going daaaaaahn!
that's probably the best description I've read on here for the people who live in glass houses

I didn't see, but isn't it often the way? (see above too)

I would hate to eat that breakfast served up today, all that deep fat frying of frozen food, yuk!

I don't mind a bit of purple as an accent colour (my bedroom has purple curtains & lamps but the main colours are pale grey & cream, much more tasteful) but that was purple heavy and did anyone notice the front of the house? The pavement & steps were purple!

I like Connie, I enjoyed him trying to put Lady Melinda in her place with the orange juice & swapping eggs 😀

Lady Melinda would likely find fault at The Savoy, dreadful woman, endlessly complaining about minor things and how I enjoyed her being shown up about the showe 😄

Hmmm - not that I'm aware of. But I do feel somewhat short changed if there's no black pudding in my Full English!

A full Transylvanian is probably the guy cooking brekkie in the kitchen.

I'm sure they know what they're meant to do, but some people are so determined to err maximise their chances, that they employ their own rules. That was the polite way of phrasing it

I've just had a look at Melinda's website and TA.
Her pricing is rather complicated and her response to the comment about her using the shared bathroom (and not tidying it after herself) novel too - next time why don't you spend a little more to upgrade

I really miss the eye rolling smiley.
Using the guest bathroom and then not cleaning it up is just ratched.

I expect Mr Melinda might not be inspecting too many hotels as you don't turn your house in Bowden into a B&B unless you absolutely have to.

I couldn't believe that either........that's no doubt exactly why she's a right spoilt madam.

Where TF do they find these munters?

I have. You'd be disappointed, it's the usual Eastern European breakfast of cold meat and cheese.

Although I don't exactly know what sort of meat it was .....

She has a very big net presence. She's all me, me, me. An egotist with a very long list of all her qualifications etc. But she does claim to support a few charities. Dunno if that redeems her.

Bragging about her charitable pursuits?

Classy

My word for her day is going to be 'schadenfreude'

I'm hoping she's got pets so everything's super hairy

Helen Mirren will be trouble I think.
Ha I thought she looked like her too, Melinda My'Lady. I predict she will be the one who gets the most flack from viewers, will end up on The four in the bed fan page saying she never said all that and it was edited to much.

I couldnt see a teapot on that table. She clearly has never seen a coffee pot.
Exactly, and I only ever drink Nescafe, I hate that putrid percolator stuff it doesnt suit everyone. The thing is where the hell does she think she is anyway? The breakfast looked pretty ok to me for a place that only charged 70.00 for a really clean room, with all the facilities and a lovely big shower, and the twin room was huge too.

Frozen, deep fried, then microwaved? lol
I know quite a few people who cook their breakfast deep fried down to the egg, puke (sorry hubby is one) and yes microwaved rather then keep it warm in the oven. Not for me it would make the sausage dry and hard....unless cooked in gravy or something... bleurgh.

BOOM YES! Sausages!
Purple gate
Sausage gate
Shower gate
rubbish gate

Don't these people realise that the way they come across affects there future business. What a horrible bitch she really is.
I expect like always they will be on Facebook fan page denying everything, saying it was all edited, and they really are not like that in real life blah, blah, blah.

rubbish in a bin thats unacceptable
Rubbish all i saw was a bit of white paper, perhaps a sticker or something it was hardly worth getting her knickers over a twist over it.

I'm loving Connie - especially when, having criticised the purple "signature" colour he confessed that his wife liked it and if she had wanted it he would have been obliged to comply. Sweet!
Yes I liked the way Connie stood up for the host against Melinda the Terrible. Ok the breakfast was second rate, they served instant coffee (i only ever drink that), the 2 poached eggs were a bit hard, the orange juice omg wasnt fresh, and what did she pay for all this? £70 for a lovely big twin room, with big shower, everything you could need and it was lovely and clean too.

The owners cater a lot for business men I expect and famlilies and perhaps to offer really expensive sausages would cut into her profits. I dont even eat them anyway.

I actually LOVED HER PLACE. I love purple. The fact being i would have only gone into one room not every room, so would have been non the wiser to the other rooms decorations. I liked the Purple outside it all looked to me clean and fresh.

The rooms were a lot better then some we have seen lately, and very large, and very clean. That family room was HUGE, and the double shower WOW, never seen that even in a 5 star.

Anyway we shall see how Connie is on his night, I am not sure I would want to upset him though........

So I wonder how many dog and cat hairs our contestants will find at Auyda House? See what we were saying last week a lot of B&B have their own Pets even though guests are not allowed to bring their own dogs.

Dog hairs can travel....upwards..... We shall see.

Melindas place sounds confusing with her breakfast.

I hope she realises she now has to really step up to it on her day......

So Melinda joins the ranks of those who go on FIAB, and do their business no good at all.

I can't believe her snootiness and nit picking when guests at her place have a shared bathroom. As I've said before, having my own facilities is the number one thing on my list when deciding where to stay, and I know I am far from alone in that.

That woman really does need to get real. I can see there being a bloodbath as she has been stupid enough to show her colours before anyone has even been to her place.

Yes, terrible tactics from Lady M. It will be interesting to see if she is as picky and critical at the other B&Bs, and if she says 'No' there too. That really will be asking for revenge!
