  • Everyone loves Rose Nylund, St. Olaf's woman of the year, the would be Butter Queen champion. When Rose walks into a room, you know she is going to come ready with one of her famous St. Olaf Story- even if it doesn't necessarily seem like it is going to relate to what is happening- she always comes through at the end with a lesson we didn't know we needed. From The Great Herring to Gunilla Ulfsdattir to the loss of Butter Queen (hasn't she suffered enough??). Put these on your ring tone and start your morning off St. Olaf style!
    What is your favorite St. Olaf story and why? Let us know in the comments below!

      Wasn't there a rumor that, because one angle was just Betty, the other, the other three girls, that, they would shoot the St. Olaf story then film Bea, Rue and Estelle separate, so they didn't have to hear the story...they couldn't keep a straight face or not laugh.

    Rue and Bea broke character laughing so hard during the great herring war story. In an interview Rue said she and Bea looked at each other and finally they couldn't contain themselves and just broke out in laughter. You can see Rue and Bea covering their faces trying to hide their laughs. When Bea asks if they ever shot a herring out of a cannon that was it.

      I wonder if we'll ever have a generation of talent like we did with those in the 70s 80s and 90s sitcoms. Larry David is getting up there and I don't watch enough of current tv to know who's up and coming. If comedy is like today's pop music, it seems mediocrity is rewarded instead of being told to practice more or maybe better yet, find another endeavor. The everybody's a winner concept sounded good in theory and it had good intentions, but everybody doesn't deserve a prize. Sorry but that's how I believe.

When they tried to film it again for the actual episode, they found that the genuine laughter from Betty, Bea, and Rue made it sink in that, despite their differences, they were good roommates for each other and decided to keep the original, guffaws and all.

    The look on Sophia's face while rose tells these stories always cracks me up. Sophia was always my favorite 😂

    How she kept a straight FACE and continued on with the stories was always a wonder.

      The thing for me is when I finish the work. I work in a hotel betwen a lake, and sometimes I watch over the window and say to myself: "God, why this lake don't have some piranha in it? I am vegetarian so I will be like a salat with meat for them, a full happy meal."

    I loved her since I was a little girl. When she passed it was like losing a grandmother.
    Her delivery was impeccable. And her ability to tell a joke without laughing was amazing.
