So glad I found this forum. My husband and I have been watching Dan and Mazzy for a couple years now, from when they were stuck in Ireland. I admit it's a guilty pleasure, like slowing down to get a better look at a car wreck. Speaking of car wrecks--how could Dan be so stupid as to drive around with the brake light showing on the dashboard? He could have killed someone if the brakes failed, which they were about to do. Those lights are there for a reason.
Anyway, it's good to know other people find them as pathetic as we do. To be fair, we do feel sorry for Mazzy. In one of her own videos (has she stopped doing those?) she asked if she should do a vlog on her struggles with depression. I wish she had, as that might have shed some light as to why she stays with Dan. And like so many here, we don't understand how she could be away from her youngest daughter for so long. She's missing her little girl's childhood to spend her days walking around one boring English town after another, followed by cooking a huge meal for Dan. And she'll never get those years back.
The most irritating vlogs for me are the ones with Neal. I know Dan thinks he's funny when he pesters him as he's working on their motorhome--ordering him around, calling him his apprentice, pretending he's his boss, etc. He's like a 12 year old boy who's latched on to a joke that he thinks is hilarious even though nobody else does and he keeps doing it. I can't see how Neal puts up with it. Neal and Emma let them stay for free in their driveway, they give them free home cooked meals and Neal does major repairs on thier motorhome for free. The operative word here is free. Instead, of being grateful, he acts like a jerk.
Anyway, we'll keep on watching them, hoping maybe someday Mazzy will come to her senses and realize she deserves to be with someone better than Dan.
