I'm only 48% snob, but I'm pretty stuck up about that.

I, too, am addicted to Manor House. It's the best show on tv. Surprisingly, I'm only 65% snob! I was sort of disappointed. Though I suspect that if the snob-o-meter had existed when I was in high school, I would have been in the 90% range.

A fascinating Kenny interview on the Washington Post web site. You gotta love the honesty of the youngest servant (he HATES sir john): http://discuss.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/zforum/03/sp_tv_manor050103.htm

Manor House was hot. and yes, the scullery maid was not bad. I was 52% snob. the chef was such a prick ('til the end).

I just answered the questions as honestly as I could and got a 43%. At times, the questions were difficult to answer, such as when I only had two choices(either love the Hilton sisters or don't know who they were ... when the true answer is that I know of them hate everything they stand for). Of all the reality shows, I find "Manor House" the most unsettling and can't bear to watch(I really liked "1900 House"). Perhaps it is my 21st century outlook, but I can't stand watching the Lord of the house refering to the loud mouth fat chick as "lower staff" to whom it is inappropriate for him to speak directly. Hoping for a people's revolution.
