I've been a long time lurked on these threads and have, in the past been involved in MLM's (Body Shop at Home and Virgin Vie). I was hopeless at recruitment so didn't last long!

I have one friend who is deep into Forever, and had a few others who have been in various other schemes, and I cannot fathom how people can get sucked into the nonsense.

I've just watched the first few minutes of the Q & A on the vimeo link above which just goes to show how thoughtless some people can be... Some fella called Aiden "didn't want to go" home to be with his wife!! He'd rather have been at the rally!

Castle and her mates are nutterz 😂😂 ever notice bots come alive when a phone is pointed at them... almost like remote control. Standing there , then soon as someone points a phone at them they move! It's quite bizzare to watch!!!!

Spongebobette · 10/05/2019 08:44

@foreverastri2 I always think that too! Last night was a really good example, bots just standing around (Mr yawn like a spare part), then when they see a camera on them they go fill on zany smiley
Particularly pressurised situation when every other bot has their phone out filming, I saw the same few minutes of cheque reveal from several different angles and everyone was trying to look super happy all the time

Spongebobette · 10/05/2019 08:51

I’d appreciate updates from anyone who is watching live today too!

Paddy1234 · 10/05/2019 08:51

Pointers to the live link please!
I want to see castle and Welsh get depleted cheques!

Twentytwentyhindsight · 10/05/2019 08:55

Paddy- it was posted a bit higher by @Whiterangey.

Norma27 · 10/05/2019 08:57

Nurse is still excited for the bigger cheques today and tomorrow. I wonder what she will think once she realises yawn’s is $0 and those who have received them have got much smaller amounts.
Please wake up nurse before you lose more money and friends.

Whiterangey · 10/05/2019 09:00

Homeschool is there although not getting a cheque, a very uncomfortable live at the party last night. Her son was dressed as Freddie Mercury and he looked amazing. It was only a couple of years ago she got a 6 figure cheque and this year she only qualified at 1.5k and no cheque again.

Norma27 · 10/05/2019 09:28

When homeschool does selfies/ lives with the 6 figure cheque behind her, it makes me think of driving past a dodgy restaurant which has a banner proclaiming it won an award in 2007!

Twentytwentyhindsight · 10/05/2019 09:31

I'm not sure the cheques (or lack thereof) will make the penny drop for Nurse.

Yawn has probably told her that she decided to forgo getting a cheque this year, as she wanted to spend some time rescuing animals/being with her family/restoring a cottage/learning sign language/discovering a cure for cancer... Nurse takes Yawn at her word.

It is also clear that she has been dazzled by the faux glitz and glamour on offer, to the point where actual figures don't matter, it's the large cheques themselves. By far the highest UK cheque yesterday was for less than £10k - now, that is not a bad way of rounding off the year, but it loses some of its shine when you know the recipient was getting close to ten times that two years ago, and even more in previous years. When you know it actually represents a major part of that person's annual income, rather than a cherry on the cake, it is even less impressive.

None of this will register with nurse. She is at the stage of bottedness where all critical faculties have been set aside. Hotels and oversized cheques are where she's at, conveniently forgetting that she is nowhere near affording a trip to a theme park for her son (her original 'why').

Spongebobette · 10/05/2019 09:33

Homeschool is the one who hooked my poor friend in with promises of financial freedom, holidays and time with her children. She must have known this wasn’t going to happen for her.
There’s a special place in hell for Homeschool

spanfan · 10/05/2019 10:16

@norma that is so it. It's hilarious.

It's like watching The Office. I need a cringe cushion to hide behind. 😂😂

ImpracticalCape · 10/05/2019 10:25

Roomie is on the roam! And in that unspeakable hat. She looks like she's up for mischief....

Norma27 · 10/05/2019 10:33

Roomie thinks she is on a hen weekend.
Don’t let us down roomie with some hilarious insights into the rally.

Wonder if Yawn has developed a nervous tic in anticipation of Roomie's arrival on the scene...

Jigsawpuzzle · 10/05/2019 10:55

Have the bots been taking camera lessons from the GOT crew.They may not be battling wight walkers but I think many will be doing the walk of shame. 🔔🔔🔔

Teddy1970 · 10/05/2019 11:00

Bots are like zombies, they stand around not doing anything but soon as they dectect camera movement they come alive and run towards you!

Twentytwentyhindsight · 10/05/2019 11:13

I'd missed that @Ohmygoodness101.
If Uber is receiving her cheque today, it means it's only a Level 2.

This will be a further massive drop for her. $477K last year, $630 in 2017, and much more in previous years.

Don't get me wrong, these are life-changing amounts of money, and she is one of very few UK bots to become minted through FLP, but the fall is extremely rapid.

What's the betting on Uber's cheque today?

I'll stick my neck out and say less than $200K. Who else is in for the sweep?

gotmychocolateimgood · 10/05/2019 11:18

How much do you think Castle will get Twenty? She's my pet bot. I miss her since she blocked me 😭

Spongebobette · 10/05/2019 11:21

she got a million dollar cheque in 2016

based on the drops since then I think about 150 -200k

bearing in mind she allegedly bought a manager leg in order to qualify......it's a bit of a gamble isn't it, but shrewd big bots can spend lots of money on their downlines, 'helping' them to get 'promoted', which is really an investment in their own bonus....

Spongebobette · 10/05/2019 11:24

Nurse bot is emotionally blackmailing her friends again....telling them they should be supporting small businesses (YOU DO NOT HAVE A SMALL BUSINESS, YOU ARE AN UNPAID REP)

but what does she mean by this?

I am a huge believer in supporting local businesses - but I also believe it has to work both ways.

Whiterangey · 10/05/2019 11:25

vimeo.com/335366923 is the live stream and its started. I

Twentytwentyhindsight · 10/05/2019 11:27

My guess for Castle: under $50K.

Spongebobette · 10/05/2019 11:28

OMG are they expected to stay in that venue with flashing lights and loud music all day????
