Thanks to @Yel for posting the segment. I've watched it again. Some observations:

- Why did she say she made a kitchen in the shed for 'social distancing' purposes?
- Omg yes she basically said her son's dad had shared care of him and she was 'so lucky'.
- Out of a 6'40 segment Eamonn was silent, didn't even say hallo, until 6' 14, when it was to say 'hurry up'.
- Ruth had to explain almost every single stage of that 'recipe'. And I just noticed there was no seasoning at all. No salt or pepper - nothing but a bit of bottled lemon juice of course.
 
Is this just good ol’ sarcasm?😁

My kitchen is 2m×2m, one wall has a full width window, another the door and another has a central heating boiler on it. Storage is minimal, but I do have a full size cooker, and a fridge freezer. I still managed to cook Christmas dinner for 8 people last year. It was far more palatable than anything she serves up, even if I say so myself...3 courses as well, aren't I fancy. And she has trouble boiling a pan of pasta.

The table was an old door propped on some cabinets, loaned a few chairs and we had to put the bed out on the communal landing, but we had a great time.
 
Why do her supporters always say, don't say anything if you are going to be nasty, or things to that effect? People are giving their opinions as it is their right to do. They seem to imply that no criticism of JM is ever valid, or should be allowed. If JM doesn't want truthful feedback that say what a mess she is making, she shouldn't make such a hash of things.

My favourite is when they do that and then call someone a name/ tell the poster to go away/ crawl back into their hole. So rude!
 
It's the constant excuses I can't stand. Every single thing she does something goes wrong. It's never her fault, it always results in chaos and a less than perfect outcome. It's so tedious. Everyone else seems capable of producing good quality content during lockdown (the way John Torode handled that teatowel on fire). And none of them claim to work 20 hours a day.

But that makes her kooky, scatterbrained, quirky, edgy, off the wall, eccentric, weird, unusual etc, etc ad infinitum.

I read "send my best to everyone xoxo" as all us Tattle hausfraus. She can't fathom that anyone outside of this hundred or so commenters might think she's a massive, incompetent twit.

Hate to break it to you, Jack, but...

Yes I read it that 'everyone' is Tattle.
But a handy get out clause that any criticism must come from here therefore can be dismissed.
She knows it isn't just us.
 
The whole ‘she’s new to this’ narrative is seriously starting to grate. There’s so many excellent food content creators out there using YouTube and Instagram, she hasn’t bothered because she’s so up herself she is just waiting for a prime time tv show to land in her lap 🙃
