I think Bob is very tongue in cheek really.


Quite - I usually take a small quantity of shampoo etc just in case its not provided or I don't like what's there. Shower caps are so compact you'd be daft not to have one in your toiletry bag if it's so important to you.

I'm not overly knowledgable about British/Indian history, but I didn't perceive anything like that. I think it was a general comment that Carlos didn't seem to be helping out much with the B&B and especially breakfast. Ultimately different things work for different couples, some are happy to do certain chores but not others. Perhaps it's to do with his upbringing and he had servants and was never expected to help out with household duties. Maybe Kate likes being a martyr, I know a few couples (retired) with that dynamic, wife does all the housework and domestic duties while hubby lays about and she often seems fed up and tired but never expects anything different or asks. My own parents are something like that, my step-dad does very little around the house, mows the lawn once every two weeks, occasionally does a roast, but mostly sits in his den and plays solitaire or sudoku. He'll help out if she asks, but she seems to enjoy muttering under her breath instead.

Why does she need shampoo and a shower cap? Are you washing your hair or not?
Super picky or just plain nasty

The 'curse' of going first strikes again! So far, compared to this woman, Bob seems a very nice bloke. But he doesn't seem the type to suffer fools.......... or vengeful B&B owners.

I think Bob is VERY tongue in cheek, he seems okay to me

I just checked out The Registry because it is GORGEOUS and I simply could not believe the prices quoted. To my amazement they are correct. Of course the host isn't to everybody's taste but for heaven's sake you don't have to share a room with him!

Compare and contrast with Carlos and his wife and their place. (I wonder if Carlos is just plain charmless or if he's embarrassed by his teeth - a bit like Victoria Beckham and Daniel Craig).

No.

The only racist behaviour on the programme comes from the ignorant English contestants that put on hilarious 'Och aye the noo' accents when a Scots person's involved and think anything Scottish should only include tartan, bagpipes and haggis, this week being a classic example. It's pathetic.

I'm not going back throught he whole thread but why do they tell them the asking price?, if they had no idea of the cost but just gave what they thought it was worth it would be a much better show.

I know Bob, haven't seen him for a few years though. He is actually a good guy, and yes he is pretty easy going. Worst thing I could say is he can be a snob. Oh and the 'local celebrity' bit, he is pretty well known in Aberdeen through the pubs and clubs he ran, but he's bigged himself up a bit .

Regarding the Scottish Breakfast. The additional/replacement items would be tattie scone, haggis or black pudding and sometimes a square sausage (depending on area in Scotland).

Never ever heard of an oatcake with a Scottish Breakfast White Pudding would be unusual too.

That might work if the places were similarly priced, but when you have a £170 room in Edinburgh vs a £55 room in Blackpool, it's highly unlikely the people who run the higher priced B&B are going to get anywhere near their asking price. People forget about location sometimes. It would be fun to see how much someone thought a room was worth without knowing the price, but I don't think the show would work well that way. I do wish they weren't allowed to read the comments until everyone has had their turn, too much tit for tat and spitefulness going on. I think that's what the producers want though. Shame really.

Very small room but nicely decorated.

decent price , slightly small room but it looks nice

Can't go wrong for that price.

Kates voice is hurting my ears now ,, no wonder Carlos tunes out and his eyes glaze over

She sounds like Hazel the McWitch from Rentaghost.

lol she does

Perfect casting if they were doing a remake. No witch makeup required.

Bloody torch again ,, too dirty stop using a torch then , can't stand Kate at all

She's going to moan about the mushrooms not being on the side now.

Marked down for an extra egg. Jesus wept.

Bob was a Saint compared to Kate today

i honestly thought the same thing, i thought here we go, however she did get a little moan in about it being too big

Her nasty comments have made her cry.

I was genuinely confused about how she wanted that omelette. I thought she wanted the mushrooms inside, that is folded inside, but then where did she want the ham and tomatoes to go? I noticed she did get it folded in spite of whatshername saying she wouldn't do it.

That dirty napkin; obviously someone had just folded it up after again after soiling it but wouldn't you be checking everything if you were in a competition? Ideally, of course, you should be checking after every guest but when you know you're being scrutinised?

What do you think of checking toilet brushes? I personally can't understand wanting to see it. Most of the time they're inside a canister and not visible. Are you planning on cleaning the toilet during your stay? Just seems so silly. If I ran a B&B I probably wouldn't leave them in the bathroom, I'd keep it with the cleaning supplies in a closet or something. Maybe it's just me.
