Renthead Mommy Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 I do love Maggie Smith. When Robert says he'll agree as long as both his wife and mother will both admit it when they realize they are wrong and the Dowager flat out states "Oh that is easy to except because I'm never wrong!" I do love her style! Almost makes waking up at 4am worth it since I finally gave in and just got up and watched last night's episode.

MtnMama Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 I want to be either the Dowager Countess or or Ouiser from Steel Magnolias. Since we aren't rich and we are Southern, it will probably be Ouiser :). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renthead Mommy Posted February 11, 2013 Author Share Posted February 11, 2013 Even my 10yo likes her, but I'm thinking because he heard her tell Edith "You're not Toad of Toad Hall!" LOL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnitWit Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 I had to pop in here because I love her too! :) (I'm another Ouizer fan also!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrincessMommy Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 I want to be Mrs. Pollifax "Mrs. Virgil (Emily) Pollifax of New Brunswick, New Jersey, was a widow with grown children. She was tired of attending her Garden Club meetings. She wanted to do something good for her country. So, naturally, she became a CIA agent."

Runningmom80 Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 I think I already am the dowager countess. Lol. Dh started laughing when she said that about always being right, because I say that all the time. The problem is, No one listens to me, and then they are sorry.

ktgrok Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 I love the dowager, but I want to be the housekeeper when I grow up. She is wise, compassionate, strong...I love her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remudamom Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 I think I am Ouisa. Southern, gardener, like my dog better than most people, wear weird hats. And I'm afraid I have the same lovely personality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jessicamcc Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 PBS has twice posted personality quizzes about Downton Abbey. Both times I scored the Dowager Countess. :rofl: I'll take it; I've been called worse. I actually think she's the funniest character on the show.

Renthead Mommy Posted February 11, 2013 Author Share Posted February 11, 2013 I actually think she's the funniest character on the show.

jhschool Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 I love the Dowager!!! They sell Tshirts on the PBS shop that say "Team Violet." I can't make up my mind if I want one because she's cool (and it would support PBS yada yada) or if I don't want one because it's cheesy (and supports commercialism). But I do enjoy every second she's on the show! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jessicamcc Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Found the link to the second personality quiz for Downton Abbey!!!!! http://www.guardian.co.uk/tv-and-radio/quiz/2011/sep/13/downton-abbey-character I had to work hard to find it. If you take it, I want to know the results! I took the 2nd test twice, both times I was the Dowager Countess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ravinlunachick Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Your results: You are Mr Bates, Lord Grantham’s valet (Brendan Coyle). You are a patient, kind, salt-of-the-earth type. But sometimes your self-righteousness can threaten to engulf you. Yeah, that's pretty much me. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you take it, I want to know the results! I took the 2nd test twice, both times I was the Dowager Countess. It gave me Bates. That's the second quiz like that I've taken where I've gotten Bates. Sadly, it's fairly accurate, at least in the self righteous part. Your results: You are Mr Bates, Lord Grantham’s valet (Brendan Coyle). You are a patient, kind, salt-of-the-earth type.

Shamzanne Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 I'm the Dowager Countess on both quizzes! I loved the last question on the second quiz: What sort of people annoy you the most? First answer: People. :laugh: I had to choose that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DragonFaerie Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 I was Thomas Barrow on one and Tom Branson on the other. A perpetually annoyed rebel with an attitude! LOL... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrookValley. Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 I haven't watched any of Downton Abbey, but because my husband decided he wanted start (and the first disc of the first season should reach us from Netflix tomorrow), I took both quizzes. I thought it would be a fun pre-watch party excercise. :laugh: One gave me Thomas Branson; the other, Mr. Bates. It will be interesting to actually see the characters in action on the show.

First answer: People. :laugh: I had to choose that one. Me, too!!!!!! That was the best question! I've often told my husband that people are really starting to annoy me. He watched part of Downton the one day with me. I pointed out the Dowager and said that's the one I keep scoring on the quizzes. He paid attention to her and then agreed with them. 100% agreed. :glare: I still think she's the funniest one out of the whole bunch.

Mom in High Heels Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 I got the Dowager Countess in both of the quizzes too. I've had a saying from her in my siggy for ages. I do adore her wit. Maggie Smith is just genius. Her lines are delivered with perfect aplomb. I want to be her when I grow up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
