I remember her saying she doesn't like people asking nosey and banal questions. I do wonder if some of her attitude is down to her Frenchness. I speak as someone who has a very direct French in-law who has zero filter or sense of fucks given. Obviously I'm not excusing Meava's stinking sense of entitlement, which plays into it too.

Yeah my best friend when I was a teenager had a French mum. She was very toxic in that really stereotypical French way. Very very moody, judgmental, OBSESSED with being thin, no 'silly'/ soft/ indulgent mothering. I know she was depressed as in literally on anti depressants but it was pretty tit for my friend especially as a teen girl. That's totally how I picture maeva as a mother.

I feel sorry for Beau, this is how Maeva will continue to be as a mother. Very cold, blunt, demanding and no nurturing side to her. James will need to step up.
 
Wasn’t going to watch this series as have found the last few very boring but was on a 4 hour flight and watched this series all back to back and oh my god… I can’t believe what I’ve just seen 🤣 it was wild! Every episode something crazier than the last happened. What the hell is Yaz doing? Why do I like ruby? Poor Inga? Liv is hilarious. What is Robbie and his bf doing? How did miles go off French girl so quick? More importantly what the hell is Yaz doing!? (And obviously Sam but he’s just a nutter anyway and no clue what these girls see in him!?)

I think her attitude and likeability varies according to her dating situation and the friends she surrounds herself with. I.e. when she's not feeling insecure and seeking male validation, and ends up taking her sh*t out on others, she's a lot calmer and more mature. Also, in the latest couple of series, she wasn't around Habbs, Emily and Melissa that much, and therefore not as snide and catty as she used to be. She also comes across a lot better in one-to-one scenes, where she's giving advice to a friend. She seemed to do a lot of that in the last few series.

Ruby is an odd duck for me. I kind of see her as 'filler' material for the series. I've never found her interesting nor entertaining.

If anything she's a bit like a little spider you may see in your closet, you knows it's there, & forget until it pops up again.

IK terrible attempt at an analogy..... Ruby = harmless yet adds nothing to the show imho

I'll take Ruby any day over Emily, Habbs and Melissa. She's infinitely more bearable without the witches coven around her🧹
 
This video is so cringe. How can two babies have three godmothers?! That's not how it works!!


Some religions and cultures have 2. Others have 3. And I know royals present and past have like a billion lol. It is meh to me. I have no idea there beliefs and religious backgrounds but maybe they just couldn't narrow it down from those 3 women.

Lol I don't think it's got anything to do with religion for them. It's more performative "let's parade our newborns on as many people's Instagrams and garner as many likes as possible" godparenting. I assume Binky isn't a godmother? She hasn't posted anything about the twins on her Instagram (maybe she did in a story). She seems to have distanced herself from the Ollie Showboating The Twins Show, and rightly so.

I was going to say something a while back about her being French, but changed my mind. I fully believe much of the way she comes across (is the culture) also not excusing what she says & the behaviour.

Maeva is direct, so when things are said, it does come off as curt and rude, her delivery of what is mentioned can be 'off putting'

It's tough to explain unless you've lived in France and understand their 'abruptness'
(still think she can soften her 'blows' so to speak) as she should try and adapt to the place she is in, so her interactions are 'received' in a way people understand, who are not French.

I've studied the language and culture extensively. Still doesn't excuse her actions or attitude. She isn't pleasant a lot of times.

French people love to debate, If you live in France for a while, you'll start to notice a pattern with No to many questions. Even if the answer is Yes, they may give you a No answer. Often times this is how they get a conversation started, and what others may see as unappealing behaviour, the French see it as engaging in whatever is being discussed.

It's kind of like saying 'Bonjour' any and everywhere. It's considered rude to not use this greeting in all aspects of life; when you walk into a store, use transit, or sit down at a restaurant for a meal, you always greet the other person with 'Bonjour'. Some of the time you may even be ignored until you greet the other person, it's that
imperative to use when interacting with friends and strangers alike.

Apologies for the long winded post.

apologies if this has been covered before - what happened with Alex and Jamie doing private parts together? I feel like he suddenly disappeared

Maybe Jamie's podcast with CoSo (Cocaine Sophie) is more popular?

Fascinating - thanks for the insights! I also suspect she has borderline personality disorder. She ticks a lot of boxes for it.

I am also surprised Cheska is not a godmother. Ollie is still close with her. I am not surprised about Binky. She seems to go through periods of distancing with a lot friends/making up again. She is just like him with how she parades her kids and pretty vapid. So I am doubtful that is her problem with him. Probably something else.

That's a good point. Maybe it's because she's in Devon and he's seeing it purely from a practical (i.e. free babysitters) sense? I've never really looked at Binky's IG until recently. Is she really that bad on stories and with sponsored posts etc? I definitely get the sense she's distanced herself from him. Very weird that he didn't choose her to be godparent.
