The Grassos consider themselves a young, busy and dynamic family, and need a housekeeper with enough experience to keep their five-bed executive home in Bedfordshire. Meanwhile, the Walsh,es who run a luxury dog resort and spa, need a housekeeper who is willing to help walk and pamper their doggy guests. It soon becomes clear that the real challenge for the Walshes will be finding someone who'll love their canine guests as much as they do. Meanwhile, the Grassos' long working hours and need for a chauffeur hat to be worn on trips to town seem to be causing problems.


Cut them a bit of slack.... Gabriella always said please and thank you, and was nothing like the terrifying south african woman in weds night's episode!
By the looks of it, people are uncomfortable with what they perceive to be the Grasso's "new money". Yes, they're a bit flash, and some might see this as obnoxious, but I don't. Good for them if they've worked hard and want to enjoy their success, they're not doing anyone any harm!

I feel Gabriella has a point. I have also never met her but agree TV producers can edit production to cast you in a bad light. Good for you if you have worked hard & made your own money. As to comments regarding looks/weight i must say that i would rather be sharing a bed with you then with my current girlfriend! Anyway i know your married & i do know Dan(from many years ago)so im not able to display my name!

Sorry, I forgot to put my name to the comment below.

As mentioned before, this is the first time I have come onto this blog, so your suspicions are wrong. I am interested however to learn who you are as I can then publicly post my feelings and experiences of you. If all what your saying is true and your not telling a tale of hurt and bitterness then you won't have any issues telling me who you are.
How can you cast aspersions on my character? Based on some of your comments in your first paragraph I would say that your the lunatic and a disgusting one at that!
All we did was agree to take part in a TV programme that was going to help us find a housekeeper, how is that trying to show the world we are successful, as you have put it? The programme did not focus on our business/success, so why are you?? Your the one mentioning you know really successful people, who cares!! Sorry, did you mention that you were not bitter.....?

This blog has been drawn to my attention today and as people feel that they know us and are making personal comments then I feel that I should now make things clear. First of all we really don't care what anyone thinks, but I can tell you now that we have not been replying to ANY blogs that are sad enough to spend all their time writing about us, if we do, we don't feel the need to be "anonymous" like the rest of you.
Secondly, let’s set the record straight here, my ex husband "so called well known DJ" has given us nothing, in fact, he owes me money!!!!!! So I am very sorry to disappoint you but we have earned our money by working hard. Also, I have to say that you seem to be a very narrow minded person seeing as you feel that you can make judgments on my character based on a heavily edited 30 min programme, you know nothing about me and if you know my husband, well no need to hide behind your anonymous name, give him a call.....somehow I just cannot see that happening and based on what I can see from your character, I dont think it's such a bad thing.

I agree it seems very suspect. I know Danny although i have not seen him for sometime now. He has always been plesent & friendly towards me. I have never met his wife & after seeing the program im quite happy that i would not like to either. The daughter is not Danny's but from a previous relationship that Gobby sorry Gabby had with a well known DJ from which some of the money has come from??? Please correct me if this is not true as it's only a rumour i picked up..

The previous two comments in defence of the Grasso's look a bit too suspicious to me. Why would people who don't know them defend them so strongly and in such detail?. Also very suspicious that two random strangers should defend them in this way on the same evening, and just 45 minutes apart. Maybe the Grasso's dictated these emails to their new house keeper who posted them either side of polishing Gabriella's gold plated dildo, purchased from Ratners a few years ago. God forbid that he/she has to use it on her as well - "Please insert the dildo into me by 6 inches, and then withdraw, and repeat this process till I achieve an orgasm and ensure to have ironed and creased tissues at the ready to clean up"
For the record, I do know Gabriella as I went out with her a few times a few years ago, before she was married. I think at the time that I was one of many. She was then much slimmer but her ego has remained the same size as it is clearly as inflated as it was back then, if not more so. By the way, I chose not to hang around as I didn't want to see her anymore in case anyone thinks this is a tale of hurt and bitterness. There is a nicer side to her, but she is also a lunatic and could quite easily start a fight in an empty room.
Whilst I respect people who have achieved success I feel that those who feel the need to constantly remind themselves and the rest of the world how great they are is rather sad. I also think that people like this are actually insecure although come across as being completely the opposite. I know many people who are more successful than the Grasso's but who are also far more discrete and down to earth. Still we can't all be perfect, but most of us don't try and make out that we are.

What a bunch of SADO's on here!!! Debbie, you sound like a frazeled, bitter twisted SLAPPER who is soo unhappy with her life she feels that much better in judging others. Debbie, god just the name makes me cringe and jumps out common, forget the Grassos who have way more style then you, based on your comments!! I bet your the queen of fat Chavs!!!!
Where do you live Debbie, in a nice big house?? Or a shoe box that you've pierced holes in to breath? What day do you sign on for your dole check???
I agree with the above comments, you people are jealous of sucsessful achivers, your MORONS who have very, very, very sad and boring lives.

Are all of you on here pretty supermodels???? I seriously doubt it. I agree with some of the comments but come on, how can you call the Grassos rude when all you seem to do is personally insult people? Now that is no intelligent conversation to me, who was the one who mentioned education??? You can buy yours of the net if you like......Sorry, but in my book that shows that perhaps you might be all sending these blogs from a tower block yourselves. So you all have a problem with people a little over weight??? Are you all size zero's then??
I think this is a clear case of lazy people just jealous of successful people, and I am a head-hunter myself by the way (and no, I have never met nor know the Grasso's!!), I can tell you that it is probably one of the most lucrative professions you can have, what’s your day job? Sorry, that’s if you have a job??
I think you are all hideous to base your comments on people’s personal appearances, but to be honest, it’s a classic sign of people who wish they had better lives. I think your all demonstrating "chavvie" qualities right here! Their house was lovely and there is no denying that, sorry!!!!!!!
Don't be too depressed that you don't have the luxury to afford a housekeeper, but I don’t think your all perfect either, so don't critise others!

Who do the Grassos think they are? I could't believe how pompous they were, especially their mother. Her behaviour at the dinner table was absolutely appalling! No wonder her daughter turned out like this.
How can you expect one person to cook a 3 course dinner for 5 people, clean, turn down service, drive them around, carry their shopping and babysit etc all in 1 day? Are they for real? If their expectations are so high, then hire a cook, a cleaner, a nanny, a chauffeur, a PA and a housekeeper. Duh.
Unbelievable, what silly and vile people!

Ha ha, just goes to show the money does not equal class.... Mrs Asso, sorry, Grasso, looked like an East European boxer in funny glasses, and was slightly more butch than her husband. Come to think of it, was she really just a very piss-poor tranny...!
Still I did feel sorry for the awful child who seemed to have such a high opinion of herself that she treats adults as her equals.
Let's put them on Wife Swap with someone who has some culture and intelligence, rather than just a waterproof telly remote...!

I think perhaps the Grassos could not afford live in help hence the derisory offer which as "headhunters" (ie recruitment consultants - the lowest form of employment and little better than pond life) they must have know would be refused.
They just wanted to get their fat faces on TV and let people know that they had a big house and were doing very well thank-you, even if they had failed their exams.
Also, a doorbell on their gate with what appeared to be little more than a normal sized front Garden!
As for their daughter, she was awful with her 12 year-old plans to 'mould' a housekeeper.
These people will employ a series eastern European teenagers who they will greatly enjoy complaining about and will leave them after less than two months each.

To be honest, I thought that the daughter was the only one of the family who came across as anything but appalling. What a shocking family, expecting to have a cleaner, a chef, a chauffeur and a nanny all for £16,500 a year!! We were weeping with laughter when she turned up with that fascinator on for dinner in her own home. I hope you're not right about some poor immigrant ending up working for them - you probably are though:(.

I bet the guy was kicking himself afterwards when he turned down the £29,000 a year job from the dog people. As for the other family, they were horrible and I thought that the mum/grandma was appallinly rude-rushing to the toilet to spit out food that someone else had cooked!It's just another reminder that money can't buy you class or manners.

I do not understand the minds of these FAT Grosso people!
Slavery died out years ago!
It makes me sick and angry when i think about them!
£250 that woman was offered for 16hr+ shifts! Thats just over £3 an hour for wiping there OBESE asses!
Chavs with cash! What next...?
9 Jul 08 at 11:10 pm
I completely agree. They are looking for a slave.
I am appalled! What is even more amusing is that they thought they were being reasonable. I almost choked with laughter when she dressed for dinner with her tacky fascinator making her look like a cheap saloon girl - maybe she should use some of that money to buy hersekf a gym membership to get rid of her spare tyre....
And what was the 'tur down service' all about? Dear god she thinks her 5 bed new build is a 5 star hotel.
What a show.... and I agree what a complete little brat the daughter was.
9 Jul 08 at 10:13 pm
Oh. My. god. Who ARE they??? I absolutely cannot believe that the chunky, common Mrs Grasso thought that it was appropriate for a housekeeper to wear a chauffeurs hat!!! What a chav!!! Lots of money and absolutely no class. Every time her chunky frame filled my screen with her latest set of demands I cringed with shame for her. She knows not what she does... !
I wouldnt mind if they owned a large house. But a standard new build 5 bed detatched is not exactly royalty. Unbelievable. She needs a reality check...

Oh my god, the grassos (should be GROSSos) are the most hideous people in the UK (and maybe even the world).
They make me ashamed to be British, talk about trailer trash from the gutter!!!!
I pity the poor migrant worker from the phillipines or somewhere similar who will end up working as a slave these awful people.
They have no morals, no class and their child is a spoilt brat. Ahhhhhhh
