The continuing crusade to expose the underhand tactics used to lure (mainly) women into exploitative schemes using the lure of 'financial independence'.

Oh and Bruv and sis are not in top 30 - what an absolute spin 😂

Teddy1970 · 16/02/2019 20:05

Castle really did look uncomfortable on stage today, especially when you look back at her other videos where she held the audience and had them eating out of her hand...she almost looked embarrassed.

Paddy1234 · 16/02/2019 20:15

That's the most uncomfortable I have ever seen her - a massive jumper made it worse

Spongebobette · 16/02/2019 21:28

How many of those in the top 30 qualified for Chairman’s bonus??

dickiedavisthunderthighs · 16/02/2019 21:33

Castle's sister has done the strangest thing. She's posted a video on her FB stories of Castle throwing up at the side of the motorway on the way to the event. She's even captioned it. It's not often I feel sorry for Castle but what a shitty thing to do.

Someone on a post by PhD Bot said that she took a year off work to concentrate on life. Someone else asked how she managed that. The response?

" i took a year off from my side hustle and just concentrated on my 9-5. It was the first time in like 8 years that I felt comfortable having one main source of income!"

So it was a year out of MLM not a year out of job! Grin

Underhiseye2 · 16/02/2019 22:01

Who is phd bot? # ?

SnoogyWoo · 16/02/2019 22:32

Is Castle the one in the big yellow jumper?

FleeBee · 16/02/2019 22:35

Is castle pregnant? She said in a post about trying for more children

Paddy1234 · 16/02/2019 22:41

All the signs are to say she is pregnant.
I hope she has an easy ride as she lost a baby a while ago.

And gives up peddling the aloe shit as well

Whiterangey · 16/02/2019 23:04

Yawn has put on a lot of weight and is the biggest she has been for a while. Shows how well the C9 and the other diet crap forever sell works.

Hopefully she has given up on that crap and has learned to love her body instead of continuously doing the C9's.

leasedaudi · 17/02/2019 00:28

Are bots still allowed to make claims like: "Does anyone on my FB friend list (UK & Globally) need an extra £200-£400 a month working 5 hours a week?"

Also forgot to mention. I saw a tubby middle aged guy on the tube, wearing "FIT" branded gear over Lycra tights, and i thought, "hmm they do actually roam among us in real life".

Spongebobette · 17/02/2019 01:09

That was really unkind of Castle’s sister.

Ooooops the photos of Yawn do not convince me that C9s every few months lead to permanent weight loss
Sadly, I predict she will embark on another one soon after seeing the photos. It’s a vicious cycle of self harm

foreverastri2 · 17/02/2019 05:33

Always been very curious about this success days etc ( or anything similar from another mlm!) I never actually went to on, but know folk who did, and they spent the whole time on social media about how "amazing " it is. Don't know about you guys but if I'm at an event which is amazing and having the best time posting about it is the last thing on my mind! I'm sure it's an arena full of heads down, no one actually talking to each other except for the obligatory selfies!!

notsurewhatshappening · 17/02/2019 08:19

Castle is the bot I follow the most. Watching her speak was so different to her past performances - she was very tired, looked ill (flight plus pregnant?) and has completely lost her confidence. It's sad. She must have known for over a year that it's all going tits up for forever
Having to speak positively about the company is obviously very difficult for her at the moment! I think this time next year it will have crumbled completely.

OhMyGodTheyKilledKenny · 17/02/2019 08:31

I wonder if Ben Cohen got back home after Success Day and thought "WTF have I just witnessed and got involved with?!"

Presume though that he's just in it for the money and doesn't give a toss that he's just hyped up a load of already scarily brainwashed (mainly) women

OhMyGodTheyKilledKenny · 17/02/2019 08:32

Am I right in thinking that Yawn was speaking at the event?

I haven't seen any photos or lives of her doing her bit.

notsurewhatshappening · 17/02/2019 09:34

No I haven't seen any photos of yawn speaking
She posted a drunk selfie when she got home though 😂

Twentytwentyhindsight · 17/02/2019 09:54

I'd need a stiff drink if I'd given up my Saturday for that, especially knowing it's all going down the pan...

Was she definitely speaking? I only saw a post where she talked about being recognised on stage.

Can anyone explain how FL define the ‘biggest businesses’ that get recognised at success days? Is it total team turnover, size of downline, number of new recruits?

Shhhhh223 · 17/02/2019 10:41

The ex hairdresser in yawns downline filmed yawn and hubby on stage

Teddy1970 · 17/02/2019 10:55

Did Castle speak at this event?

Whiterangey · 17/02/2019 11:55

Castle wearing a baggy jumper dress and being sick on the way there does seem suspicious of a pregnancy.

Either way, she wasn't well and In any other job you would not be expected to be there and traipse onto the stage trying to look your best. You can't risk a day off in mlm, not even when you are unwell.

Whiterangey · 17/02/2019 12:51

Castle didn't speak as far as I know. Welsh Rarebot and Castle Bruv were hosting with a few guest speakers thrown in, but top boss were thin on the ground.

I noticed that a fair few of the top 30 bots didn't show up to receive their awards, which seemed a bit awkward.

OhMyGodTheyKilledKenny · 17/02/2019 13:08

Looking back at Yawn's posts she talked about her "big stage debut".

To me that would mean a bit more than walking on a stage to be recognised which she must have done a few times before (in fact back in the day, before they were as rare as hen's teeth, she even accepted a cheque on stage).
