We have increased restrictions til Jan. 5 but not a full lockdown.

We had a stupid "pause" in Rhode Island for a couple of weeks, but the restrictions are lifting tomorrow. Just in time for everyone to cough on each other on Christmas!

My province is going into lockdown Christmas Eve, I have already been in lockdown for a month. Local wineries are my BFF. I have ordered a lot of wine lol.

I ordered so much, the delivery guy began to refer to himself as my “wine driver”.

Uncle Beau is the bon vivant and conversationalist in this meeting, even with his subtitles.  Mike and Natalie need to add that to the list of issues with their relationship.

Its a great show. Also, Escape to the Chateau

I'm recording that--I'm going to wait and binge it!

And I am in Florida, where you can do whatever you want. Yay!,

[mamadrama]

As a character on a TV show I enjoy Uncle Beau. As someone in real life, however, I agree with Natalie. I think the show's doing her a real disservice for dancing around the main fact that she's nervous to live with him. Her reasons are valid. 

[Zombness]

Don't worry Natalie...we don't understand what Uncle Beau, that's why he is captioned.

On the news they showed Londoners fleeing the city ahead of lock down.

[mmecorday]

Uncle Beau has probably never been to a restaurant like this. At the local Waffle House they chase him out because they know that's not maple syrup in that paper bag.

Someone in makeup did Natalie dirty with that attempted contouring job...

Lot of chemistry with the waiter and none with Mike.

My state is not on lockdown but my family is. After what we've gone through with COVID we trust nothing and nobody. Luckily there are almost 300 acres around us so we never see anyone.

I have heard that they are cutting the episodes up and not playing the whole thing. I watched on PBS and they have also added it on Peacock(the free version) Watch it there if you can, they cut a lot of good stuff out.

Talking about Escape to the Chateau, quoting is hard ya'll!

If you have Prime I recommend "Home Away From Home", families who don't know each other or know where they're going do a house swap for vacation. Its a great way to travel in England and see the different towns and counties. Loved it.  

I don't have that - I don't have a smart TV.   Sounds interesting.

I love bunny boiler Natalie certainly isn't comfy around Uncle Bo is she?    

After the 1,000 Sisters commercial, I'm very glad I'm not eating right now.

Uncle Bo finished moving the product so now he can meet them for lunch.

Probably has a substantial clientele in Seattle

[Grifter Lives]

Natalie will burst into tears and storm into the hotel room, throwing herself on the bed, because Mike hasn't returned the engagement ring.  Yet, neither Uncle Bo nor Mike will pat her hair and remind her that she's the golden child, like her mother did.

I agree. Especially after reading the couples thread. Even on TV I see red flags.

We moved our Viking River Cruise to next November, fingers crossed we will be going to Avignon, Viviers, Lyon...years ago I drove thru the Loire Valley and chateaux hopped, it is so beautiful there, this girl is going to really hate whatever US town she will live in, it will not compare with a small French town surrounded by vineyards.

River cruises are the best.

Yep, that's where we are too. My parents are elderly and have health issues and my sister is a nurse so she sees first hand what is going on. GA does not care at all.

In Fl? Are they? Well that is good. I am on Orange county and the mayor here has some pretty hardcore restrictions but i though a lot of the state was really lax.

You don't need a Smart TV. You can watch it via a Roku, Firestick, or on your laptop or phone. You just need Amazon Prime.

I read that the PBS full version of Chateau was only three hours, so the first two episodes were three hours compressed, with a scene or two from season 2 with the event business starting.      I love that show. 

However, Unpolished is never going to be on my screen, after seeing the one with the blue hair streaks on one of the cookie baking or holiday contests, and she was so bizarre.

I get WHY they're going with this storyline, it goes along with the whole "bunny boiler high maintenance Natalie" thing, but this is one part of their narrative that actually makes sense.

No, in Covid capital of Canada, Alberta. Our cases are as high or more than Ontario's. The premier finally set some new restrictions about a week ago.

[FrancescaFiore]

I guess Natalie shouldn't have given the ring back if she wanted to feel the security of having a ring on her fingers. She is cuckoo for Cocoa puffs

[Angry Moldovan]

Spoiler

The far sisters reminds me of Grangie weight loss. She looks sick 🤒 I’m betting Micheal misses her ample bottom. Remember ladies, fat don’t crack

Does NotAmalClooney realize that her knight in shining pleather who has whisked her away to Vegas and Mexico spends his days surrounded by soft edges and diaper wipes?

The one sister looks like she's gained weight since last season. Did she ever get surgery? I quit watching after the first episode or two.

I'm in Miami Dade and we have curferws, but I wish stricter rules applied since people want to do what they want to do .....specially not wearing a mask.
